Foundation for silly Story.


This evil and unnecessary lie about
the bOlsheviks grew out Of the fact
that i'm a little city, Ufa, a drunken
man made the proposal that they
should adopt such a plan. A group In
the town of Saratov, calling them
selves anarchists, issued a decree in
April, 1918, containing among other
provisions the, following:
From March 1, the right to possess
women having reached the ages of
seventeen to thirty-two Is abolished.
1.-THE husbands may retain the right
to use their wives without awaiting
their turn.
''In case of resistance, the husband
shall forfeit his rights.
"AlI women according TO this de-
cree, are exempt from private owner
ship and are proclaimed to be the
property of the whole nation"
It was unfair to charge this to the
soviet government II was never put
in practice, and 1t is only fair to say
that with the exception Of the two
cases cited above, It was never even
contemplated by anyone. This libel Of
the bolsheviks strengthened their
cause In the allied world. Months af-
ter II was exposed the world
was swept with another evil, unneces-
sary and false bit Of propaganda. II
vas complained that this second piece
OF news was intended to corroborate
and confirm the naturalization Of
women; its open object was TO create
hostility for the bolsheviks. II achieved
exactly the opposite result. It was that
the boisheviks had decided 10 abolish
Christian names, that henceforth chill
dren would be named by number To
illustrate. the first born would be
Smith No. ], the second child I'm the
Smith family would be Smith No. 2,
and so on. This was given first-page
space in the press of the world. Tt
was printed as serious news, as truth.
1t fell Of It's own weight.
Summing up unrest in Europe and
In America, / have found that this
general course of conduct has caused
the people to increase their suspicion
Of the political governments, of the
press. Of the leaders of business and
industry. These posed lies have mold
ed a judgment In the general thought
Of the world, and that is that bolshe-
vism is being cried down, libeled and
slandered, starved, assaulted, and
tonight, because its success meant the
death of special privilege and the
birth Of the New Order" This judg-
ment has come TO pass because we
have not used our resources TO bring
the real facts 10 the public mind be
cause we have injured our credibility
by unnecessary, evil and false charges
against the bOlshevik regime

DANIELS CHARGES COMMITTEE AIRING
 OFFICERS GRUDGES
[RepubIIean 4. ?. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. May Secretary Daniels accused the senate naval in- vestigating committee today with digging up ancient history" and air ing the grievances and grudges of dis gruntled naval officers. The accusa- tiOns came during a long series of questions from Chairman Hale regard ing the disappearance in 1914 from the files of the navy department of letter from Rear Admiral Bradley Fisl1e on naval preparedness.
 MT. Daniels told the committee that he had no objection to prolonging the hearings by going back as far as 1914 but said he did not see how the mat ters referred to had any bearing on the question of the naval conduct of the war. Chairman Hale replied that he was seeking to show that Secretary Daniels was warned by his chief tech nical advisers that the American navy was not prepared for war previous to the entry of the United States into the war
 The chairman virtually charged Mir Daniels at another point with having withheld from the senate a letter from Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight writ ten in August. 1914, advising the inn mediate withdrawal of American bar tleships from Mexican waters and the preparation of the navy for possible eVentualities resulting from the world war, then lu~t b|SIihltlS- io support his contention, Senator Hale read q senate resolution asking for communi- cations from the navy general board regarding war p~eDaratiOn of the navy and a reply from MT.

SOLDIER RELIEF BILL
 STILL WORRIES HOUSE
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, May 25. - House leaders were up in the air today over the qnestion of soldier relief legislation.
 With Democrats and about 50 Re publicans attempting to block imme diate consideration, leaders started a new move in hope of breaking the com bination so that the bill might be pre- sented 10 the house not later than Thursday
 Although Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee announced that he planned to call up the measure Thursday there were indications of possible change in the Republican pro gram but some uncertainty as to what might happen. Instead of the effort to give the relief bill the right of way by a special rule Republicans fighting for the bonus decided on other parliament tary tactics and announced they would endeavor to get it before the house by suspension of the rules Although this would require a tWo-thirds vote for passage. the plan would permit only a straight vote for or against adop- tiou.
 Democrats asserted they would put up solid front and with the help of ..insureeutr Republicans defeat the bis tsx measure. They claimed that sup rorters of the bonus had failed ro ob- tatr sufficient votes 70 give it the risht Of Way

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 25.-Efficiency of private management and the justice of the railroads demands for a billion dollars additional revenue was defended by railroad representatives today be- fore the interstate commerce commits sion against boring cross examination of counsel for shippers and employees.
 Under private control the roads eX pect to show greater efficiency and reduced expenses, Daniel Willard, pres ident of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, declared in answer to questions by Glenn E. Plumb, representing the rail way employees. For a period, MT. Will lard said, greater service will be de- handed which will cut into immediate saving by the roads.
 All the roads in the country were at least one year behind in their equip ment purchases. he asserted. adding that responsibility for this should be placed on war conditions rather than government operation.
 Frank Nay, vice president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- way, explaining the questionnaire sent out by the roads on which was based the estimated need of an additional in come Of a billion dollars. said that on account of unsettled conditions due to the coal strike last fall figures for the year ending oct. 31 1919, were used.
 Additional income should be raised entirely from freight revenue, MT. Nay declared, and not from passenger traf- fife. denaurrage or terminal charges.
 c. M. Schriver, vice president Of the Baltimore & Ohio, described in detail the statistics presented by Mir. Willard on which the carriers of the eastern territory base their requests for a 80 per cent advance in rates. If the com mission should reduce the freight in crease from 90 to 25 per cent or allow a 51a per cent return instead of 6 per cent. or reduce the property investment account valuation of the eastern rail- ways by 10 per cent, he said, the $60,- 000,0 900 surplus provided for in the es- inmates would be wiped out and those carriers would lose the benefit of the new transportation act he asserted.

PICK WESTERN MAN TO CALL DEMOCRAT
 MEETING TO ORDER

WASHINGTON, May 25.-J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice chairman of the Democratic national committee, will call the Democratic national con vention to order when it meets in San Francisco June 28.
 AIr kremer was selected, the na- tional committee announced tonight, because Chairman Cummings has been designated to act as temporary chair man of the convention and because it was thought fitting that western man should open the first convention of the party to be held west of the Rocky Mountains.
 Both Chairman Cummings and Vice Chairman Kremer will leave for San Francisco next week to attend the meetings of the committee on arrange ments, which, it was announced will begin .n formal sessions about June 10.
 At Headquarters of the national committee it was said today that re- ports from George F. Mara, assistant to Chairman Cummings. sent to San Francisco several months ago. indi- cated all arrangements would be com pleted by the time the first delegates arrive.
 Only one contest, that from Georgia between the delegations pledged to Attorney General Palmer, and the dele gation selected by the followers of Senator Hoke Smith and Thomas F..

This con- test it was said. will be heard first by the national committee and probably will be carried to the credentials com mittee. to be organized after the con yention opens.

 Admiral von Holtzendorff advocated unrestricted U-boat war to which however he asserted the German em- peror and Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg seemed to be lukewarm
 During the course Of the conyersa- tions van Holtzendorff said:

 But von Hindenburg repeatedly re- fused saying he could not talk in the Reichstag- Finally the field marshal said:
 Well then we will stick together. It must be. We reckon with war with the United States and have made all preparations. Things cannot get worse The war must be shortened by every possible means.
 Then Non HOltzendorff said:
 His majesty is not familiar with the situation and the sentiments among his own people,
 Admiral von Holtzendorff went on:
 "Dr Helfferich (former vice chan cellor) said to me: Your road leads to catastrophe 1 replied: You let us drift into catastrophe

FIRM LOSES MONEY
 ON 27-CENT SUGAR
 GROCER TESTIF|ES
IRepubLlean A. ?. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, May 25.-Although of fering sugar at 27 cents a pound yes terday, Harry Balfe, chairman of Aus tin, Nichols x Go, wholesale grocers, today testified before the joint legisla- tive committee investigating profiteer- ing, that every pound of it handled showed a net loss to the firm of to 71a per cent.
 He said he believed the present wide variation in prices to wholesalers was due to demand exceeding supply.
 He said that jobbers must be al lowed to make q fair profit on sugar if trouble was to be avoided.
 In reply to inquiry as to why he sold sugar when it showed the firm a net loss, he explained.
 The trade buys it's other goods where it makes its sugar purchases he said.
 Mr Balfe said increased overhead expenses, amounting to 213 per cent more for thes first quarter of 1920 than for the same period last year, were due to the high cost of loafing-
 We cant seem to get anything done" he added. The same amount of pep isn't there.
 He said various employees have re- ceived pay increases ranging from r per cent for salesmen to 49.S per cent for wagon drivers
 Henry W Wilmot. vice president of the Standardization Sugar company and the West Indian Finance corpora ton another witness, put in evidence a copy of a letter from Manuel Rionda of Cuba to George A. Zabriskie former head of the sugar equalization board, advising purchase of the Cuban sugar crop. Unless this was done. said the letter. which was dated July %, 1919. "a wild orgy of speculation will follow which will be without precedent in the history of sugar
 Had the Cuban crop been bought, Wilmot testified, sugar would have been l2 cents pound in this country.
