"BOLSHEVISTS BEWARE! ="

The 100 American soldiers returning
from Siberia arrived in San Francisco
displaying a sign reading "Bolshevists
beware! We are coming home to Join
the American Legion" Here then, we
have some real inspiration. These SOL
diers have been fighting in Bolshevist-
Russia and they come home with deter
mnation in their hearts to join the Or
ganizaton that has for one of its best
slogans an opposition to Bolshevism.
They have seen with their own eyes the
Bolshevist work in Russia and they have
no wish to put it in force in this country.
The American Legion, with its expert
ence, energy and youth to give it power,
is out to fight Bolshevsm to the best of
its ability and these returning men from
the Siberian front will be an added push
to drive already we'll started. If some
people thought that these men whose
duty placed them on this distant front,
would come home dispirited and dis
gruntled, the actual return and the senti-
ment most prominently displayed must
be a surprise, Their stand will be dis
tinct education to hesitating minds.
There is nothing to this Bolshevlsm
which America can adopt as it's own, and
these soldiers know it, and say it. They
declare war upon Bolshevism as a men
ace to Americanism. 1t does the heart
good to have such things as this happen
and it revives confidence in the sturdy
strength of the real Americanism.

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

During the five fiscal years from June,
1914, to June, 1919, the exports of the
United States exceeded the imports, on
the average, by nearly So, 600, OOU, 600 each
year.
This unparalleled condition of trade
brought about great influx of gold and
corresponding rise in prices here. The
connection between these two facts needs
no argument. 1t is only necessary to
note briefly that this vast acquisition of
the worlds gold is not the unmitigated
blessing it might appear to be.
Our war loans to various European ma
tons were in reality nothing more than
taking our money out of one pocket and
putting it into another. When we sent
goods to Europe, at the same time we
sent our purchasers the WhereWithal to
pay for them in another ship This means
that one group of our people paid the
money to another set, for goods that were
consumed in Europe by Europeans. These
Europeans sent us their promises to pay
and these promises will have an influence
| on international trade relations for wears
to come
While we have been transferring our
money from one pocket to the other we
have been receiving the promises and ex-
porting real commodities. This process
must come to an end. Somewhere there
is limit to our resources of material,
money and credit, and in the interest of
our own and the worlds financial safety
we must stop before that limit is reached.
Just how this is to come is not certain
1t may bring something of crash with
it and it will surely bring decrease in
the volume of exports over imports. The
abnormal balance of trade cannot con-
tinue, nor the state of general initiation
! caused by the gold surplus,
In the words of MIR. Meyer, managing
director of the war finance corporation.
1T takes more than lenders, it takes
borrowers to do business And the Dor
rowers must come to this country with

consideration of sentiment warranted
with every desire to be helpful KEN

The Belfast Plan

The city of Belfast is one of the most
enterprisng in the State and this fact is
now being shown by campaign con-
Quoted by it to get business. 1t wished
to e the trading center for Waldo Coun-
ty, as rightly it should be, but just how
best to impress it's advantages for shop
ping on the remainder of the county was
something of difficult problem. Finally
it was decided to invite leading citizens
of each town to be the guests of the city.
One community was to be taken at a
time aud the visitors were to be given a
dinner and entertainment and then told
something of Belfast. The plan, how
ever, failed, for it is well known fact
that today if one wants to sell anything
he must 60 to the prospective purchaser.
Competition is too keen to take the
chance of waiting for him to come to
you. Therefore the people from the out
lying towns failed to come to Belfast to
these celebrations so the idea was re-
versed-Belfast went to them. Now the
plan is being successfully worked out
along this line and the city is reaping
splendid benefits.
Briefly, the Belfast Board of Trade
organizes a large group Of its leading
business men and arranges with the local
grange or some prominent organization
in the town to be visited, to furnish a
supper for which the visitors pay 81 a
plate. The city delegation then invites
the leading people of the town to attend,
furnishes music for the occasion, as well
as an excellent program of entertainment,
and incidentally, during the evening has
two or three live and interesting speakers
say few words on the advantages Of
Belfast as a shopping center and why
Waldo County should support its only
city with its retail business. The affair
usually ends with dance for which Bel
fast also furnishes the orchestra.
Not only does the plan bring business
into Belfast but it also promotes better
feeling throughout the county and gets
everyone acquainted personally with the
Belfast dealers and they in turn with the
people of the surrounding towns. Is not
this idea suggestion for other large
trading ceDters in the State to try, not to
leave out Portland which could plan
similar visits to the surrounding towns
for retail business, and to the large CEN
tiers of the entire State in the interests of
its wholesale trade?-Portland Evening

A survey of the Presidential situation
in this State from Republican stand

Gen. Leonard Wood, although there is a
little sentiment here and there for Gov.
Coolidge of Massachusetts,. Gen. Wood
recently made a visit to this State, speak
ing at Portland, and he made fine i'm
preston. Republican State conventions
have never been in the habit of instruct
ing their delegates to the national con-
ventlon to vote for this candidate or
that, nor for that matter have the Dem
ocrats. 1t will be remembered that in
the Democratic State convention held in
Augusta in 1912 resolutions introduced
by Clinton c. Stevens, formerly clerk of
courts for Penobscot county, instructing
the delegates to the national convention
to vote for Woodrow Wilson for the pres
ldency, were turned down, and the dele

Of the horrors of Turkish massacres
and deportations. Saved by an Ameri
can woman, she has come to this coun-
try and entered Oberlin College.
With her came fourteen other Arme-
MAN girls in charge of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwight, Near East Relief worker,
who has been instrumental in helping
to save hundreds of thousands of their
people from death by starvation. Miss
Dwight, who is not given to e1agger-
alton and has seen conditions at first
hand, says more than a million people
are facing death by starvation in Ar
menia and will perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the slaugh-
ter of hundreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and a vic
tim of the deportations, Miss Dake-
sian, an unusually pretty girl, says
there is untold suffering in Armenia
and Syria. She praises the efforts of
the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
AcSi ihil AeNiiCl, " save as many VI
these people as possible. AT Erivan,
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from a thousand daily to
an average of twenty. At Alexandra
pol where the refugees from Turkish
Armenia We're driven by thousands, the
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian
says. 1t is to avert these wholesale
deaths that Near East Relief is making
nationwide appeal for funds.

BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG; ARMENIA
Strangest Troop of All in Con-
stantinopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training is aid
ing prominently in the rehabilitation
of hundreds of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres
who have been organized into a scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
of one of the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re.
lief workers in that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys hat
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge in the Neal
East Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad in rags for
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care of clothes. This was tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need of
every pair of shoes and of every suit
of clothes for new boys constantly com.
ing in.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms.
They began to be careful of their
school clothes as well as of their uni
FORMS
They had been SO often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc-
ton. When they first entered the or
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher For two or three weeks after
he became Boy Scout he was obvious
ly uneasy. Ore day he came to her
with the purse in his hand.
II don't want to give it back" he
said reluctantly. But l have to. I'm
a Boy Scout now"
To form more scout troops to trans
form these little unfortunates into
good citizens, is one of the reasons
why the Near East Relief, 1 Madison
avenue, New York city, is making it's
appeal for funds.

Mr.. Alfred johnson is one of the nine
five minute speakers chosen from Brook
line to speak in the nation wide campaign
which is to be carried on throughout the
country for the next two months by the
Episcopalians. The campaign is more in
the nature of an effort to secure better
personal service from the church mem
bers for the church and mankind, than
an attempt to raise more money. Per-
sonal religion and personal service are
the main objects sought in Massachu-
