TWO TYPES OF
REDS IN RUSSIA
FIRST REPRESENTED BY FOR
MER OFFICERS in ARMY.

Amsterdam, Feb. 2S.-Two distinct
types of bolshevists, described as
salon bolshevists' and bomb boil
shevists," were noted by the staff cor
respondent of the Handelsblad in his
tour through soviet Russia from
which he has just returned. The for
mer, he says, are represented by for
mer officers in the army of the late
emperor, while the others include the
fanatical, sinister commissaries and
all their followers.
The bolsheviki army commanders
with whom he travelled in luxurious
armored and unarmored express
trains from the Polish front to Mos
cow form new aristocracy. Some
times, he says, the impression one
gets of the entire outfit is of that
of q "parlor car with third class peo-
plein it,"
In the cities the communistic aris-
tocracy live in luxury. "In big
town like Somolensk." he declares,
"the army commissaries, who already
belong to the upper ten ten,' do not
live in town near their headquarters
with their staff officers, but a long
way off on side track in beautiful
car every one in his own compart-
ment. And in front of everyone of
those cars is policeman, armed with
rifle, who keeps the proletariat in
order.
"They call each other 'comrade'
from morning to night, the high to
the low and the low to the Highland
yet the proletariat suffer terribly and
die like flies from misery, cold and
contagious diseases, wlIile the high
and mighty lord it on the fat of the
land"
When typhus appeared in Moscow,
he declares, great care was taken to
see that "the clean gentlemen COM
munists were not troubled by the
ragged and buggy proletariat."
The Lenine theory, he says, was to
let the old state die, according to the
MARKHAM theory, and gradually make
all class distinctions disappear until
there was only one class left-that of
the workingman.
But up to now" the correspon-
dent writes, "they have only managed
to breed few more very remarkable
classes in addition to the existing
ones.'

OFFICERS REDUCED
IN THE ARMY BILL
WAR DEPARTMENTS ESTIMATE
CUT 5000 IN MEASURE RE.
PORTED TO THE HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Eight thou
sand fewer army officers than asked
for by the war department are pro-
vided by the house army reorganiza-
tion bill, formally presented today by
Chairman Kahn of the military af-
falrs committee. Reductions in the
number of officers were made in ey-
cry branch Of service, but the sharp
est cut was for the aviation service,
which received only 1,514 of the A.
500 asked for. In all, the depart
ment sought 26,179 officers and the
house committee granted 1890.
None of the various plans offered
to the committee for reorganizing
the army was adopted by the commit
tee. Instead the committee report, as
submitted by Mr.. Kahn, pointed out
the national defense act of 1916 was
used as the working basis, the new
law being a revision of the old one.
Extensive as are the changes
made" said Mr.. Kahn's report, ''they
alter in no material respect the mill
tary system established by the ma
tional defense act, but merely make
those changes in details which the
lapse of time and the experience of
the war have shown to be neces-
sary.

Benefits of the
Land Leasing Bill


Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.-In an
article written especially for the Unit
ed Press. Franklin knight Lane, who
retires Monday as secretary of the in
terror, today outlined how the oil
leasing bill just approved by the pres
ident will affect the average man.
The measure should be a vital fac
tor In decreasing living costs through
out the United States through it's In
fluence on prices of basic necessities,
such as coal, oil. gas and phosphates
for fertilizer, he said. Production OF
these raw materials will be vastly in
creased as a result of the throwing
open OF millions of acres of public
lands, made possible under the law.

to obtain amnesty for all political

ciplinary barracks. At a conference
with war department officials, Hugh
Frayne, of the American Federation
of Labor, and Mrs. Lucy Robins of
the central labor bodies, urged that
another review be made Of the cases
against 2,050 men still imprisoned
for war time offenses. Mr.. Frayne
said later that, in response to a re-
quest of the delegation, promise was
made that distinction will be made
at the time of the review between
penal offenses and forms of strike
activity.
While hope was held out for the
early release of practically all pris-
oners, war department officials were
understood to have stated definitely
that the men who persist in refusing
to obey the reasonable orders of ths
prison authorities will receive no con
sideration until they change their at
titude.
Mrs. Robins and Mr.. Frayne alst
called upon Senator's France ant
Chamberlain to enlist their aid in th'
movement.
Senator France pledged himself t.
introduce this week." Mrs. Robins
said, "a bill providing general am
nesty for political prisoners held un
