The Next War?

Great Britain in particular and the
rest Of Europe naturally are begin
ming to take the belsheviki in serious
fashion and are getting genuinely
alarmed because the campaign of war
and conAscation conducted by them
against the decent people of Russia
has been 50 far successful and is now
outgrowing the confines Of Russian
territory and extending dangerously
near the borders Of India.
The time to get aroused over the
bolshevfki was two years ago when
they negotiated the B-est-Litovsk
treaty and, having betrayed their
country and taken it out Of the war.
took command Of Russia under the
dictatorship of the proletariat." 1t

a military expedition against them.

Germany stopped they still! remained

under cover of the preoccupation Of
the Allies in the West they had con-

in 1915 after the signing Of the
armistice and all through the sessions
of the conference in 1919 that there
could be no real peace in Europe
Asia. or the world until the boil
sheviki had been swept out Of power
and the tyranny which they fastened
on the helpless Russian giant had
been broken.
Now. when the peace with Ger
many is only a week old. come rumors
Of another war, and they are not idle
rumors. Kolchak, the one best hope
Of Russia, is fugitive and has been
reported captured: Denekine, who
had had some successes in the South
and West is hopelessly defeated and
Semenof who has been throughout

q in league with the japanese. The boil
sheviki are in possession Of virtually
AL of European Russia and are max

Sea and beyond. Their ultimate goal
is undoubtedly India where their
agents have been for more than a
year trying to stir up a rebellion
against the British government
China is also honeycombed with boil
shevik borers who, if they are clever
at all will play upon the JAPANESE

themselves against the japanese, ad-

No doubt about that. The best act in
