SOVIET RUSSIA
 FACING END OF
 BOLSHEVIKR RULE
TRspubllcan A. ?. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON Oct. 13. ~ Signs of the approaching collapse of boishev- ism In Russia are seen by state de- partment officials in the crumbling of soviet authority on the Polish front and tho rapidly augmenting strength Of -bolshevilSi forces in south eastern Europe under General Wran- gel.
 Already consideration is being given at the department. 1t was said today, 10 what may follow the end of soviet rule fin Russia
 The prospect of anarchy and chaos in the event of soviet dissolution is very real. according Go officials, but the belief was expressed that tho local Zemstvos have been so we'll organized as to maintain a semblance of order and some cohesion of economic life until a stable government capable of obtaining the adherence of the majop- ity of the Russian population shah arise.
 Tho situation in Persia. where for a time bolshevism threatened to dis rupt the country. recently has cleared. according to reports received by the department.
 The league of bolshevism with the Turkish Nationalists also is regarded as having been weakened with the rout of Mustapha Renal and his fol- lowers.
 Most significant of the wane of soviet influence in Russia. according Co officials. was the rejection of bol- shsvism overtures by Switzerland which is situated SO as to be able to form an accurate opinion of the char acter and future of the soviet regime it ia now also known that somewhat earlier Rumania rejected overtures of the soviet government. The right wing includes the great majority of social ists fin Germany and may be considered In the opinion of officials as represen- tative of the growing attitude of dis trust of socialists generally in Europe toward bolshevism.

MAY OPEN CAMPAIGN
 AT REHABILITATION

That a personal campaign may be necessary to introduce the rehabilita- tion program fin this state was the statement made yesterday by pr. B. H. IT. Blome. state director of voca- tional education and head of industrial rehabilitation work in Arizona. Dr. Blome stated that although 800 circu- lars had been sent tothe leading min lng camps In the state. to hospitals and to physicians as long as three weeks ago. he had not as yet received a single reply. The circular. he said. explained fully the intent of the gov ernmont and the state to fit those in- jured in Industry to return to employ ment
 The state matched the s5. 900 of the government in the rehabilitation work Co be carried on in Arizona Lewis Fl. Carris assistant director of rehabili- tation. arrived from Washington early in the summer and with Dr. Blome prepared the program which will be in effect here after tho organization has been perfected.
 Dr. Blome. in explaining the plan, said that each case would be treated individually. If the schools can not furnish the needed instruction to re- turn the person injured in Industry to industry. special instruction will bc offered he declared.
 "The state has the opportunity to rescue from distress a by no means negligible fraction of it's population" Dr. Biome said. By it's rehabilitation program it can also increase in eco- homie efficiency in such a measure as to be a matter of importance to itself and tO the nation at large"
 Dr. Biome believes that there are many in the state. both men and women. who would report to him if the work were understood. He appre- ciatcd the fact that the plan is new and that the public is not yet familiar with It's workings.

HOUSING SITUATION
GETTING ATTENTION
Loan Association Offers Cooperation
Board of Trade Directors to Meet
Monday Afternoon.

The directors of the board of trade
today received a communication from
Carl S. Hopkins, secretary of the Brat
tleboro Cooperative Savings and Loan
association, in regard to the housing
situation in Brattleboro. A meeting
of the executive committee of the board
of trade win be held at 4.30 O'Clock
Monday afternoon to see what action
will be taken on the communication.
the text of which follows:
Gentlemen
In compliance with the request of
your special housing committee, the di-
rectors of the Brattleboro Cooperative
Savings and Loan association held a
special meeting Jan. 20, at which time
the matter relative to what the asso-
citation could do to assist in relieving
the housing conditions was discussed.
The policy of our association has
been to place loans with reliable par
ties, sometimes in amounts equal to be
tween so and go per cent of the value
of the real estate upon which loans
were made. We are able to do business
on this small margin because of the
fact that the borrower must begin inn
mediately to pay into our association
for the purpose of reducing the mort
gage loan and he is obliged by our
bylaws to pay for II years, at which
time enough has been paid in under or
ordinary circumstances to cancel the
mortgage.
We stand ready to make loans for
| the purpose of erecting houses, on this
same basis to any desirable party that
any of our leading manufacturers can
recommend and we are also willing to
go still further and loan up to the
value of the property if any response
BILE party will sign note with the bor-
rover, which endorsement can be with
drawn after certain period of time
In this way any one who is working
for stated wages and is worthy, can
make arrangements with the firm by
whom he is employed for the erection
! of home to be paid for in II years by
regular installments.
While at first glance this PROPOSE
tion may seem no different than what
any banking institution would do, still
it can be readily seen that our scheme
would require regular monthly pay
ments and we have the machinery nee
essary for caring for these small pay
ments while the larger banking institu
tions might not feel justified in doing
business for so long time on such +;
small basis.
Of course it is understood that ou
security committee must be satisfied a
to the actual value of any piece o
property on which loans are to be made
and the reliability Of the party endors
ing the note.
1t is the desire of our association t
cooperate just so far as safely can b
done for the good of Brattleboro an
, its varied industries. and to this en-
the directors are ready at all times t
entertain any logical proposition tha
/ may be brought before them.
: Yours truly,
CARL S. HOPKINS,
: Secretary
