New York, March 27,---Efforts ol
the radicals, working in harmony
but under different names, to pre-.
cipitate a revolution and establish
the dictatorship of the proletariat in
the United States are being re-
doubled this spring, according to in
formation received at headquarters
Of the National Committee of United
Americans. While the reds were
disappointed by the steel strike
fiasco, advertised as the beginning
of the revolutiAp, they nevertheless
are so encouraged by the trend OF
events that they are confident they
can effect the revolution not later
than 1922.
Next time the start is to be made
in New York City instead of in the
central west, because the reds figure
that the metropolis can be starved
into submission by general strike
in four days.
Meanwhile the reds count on a
financial panic within the next few
weeks to help their cause along. A
panic would cause distress among
the working men and thus render
them more susceptible to revolu-
tionary doctrines.
Detroit Principal Center.
Detroit has become the principal
center of radicalism in the United
States, according to the information
received by the National Committee
of United Americans. There are no
fewer than SO radical organizations
in the Michigan metropolis, and they
are all extremely active.
Cleveland ranks second as radi-
cal center, followed by New York
and Chicago, though all the larger
cities have large and active radical
populations.
One effect of the recent govern
ment raids has been to cause the
radical organizations to assume a
variety of aliases. For e.xa1nple, the
communist party is no longer known
as such. 1t has assumed the innocu-

With the Germans Before Wesel,
March 26.-(Via Cologne and Paris,
March 27.)-The executive council
of workmen at Essen sent party OF
reporters to the red front Friday
to show the atrocities committed
by the government troops in the
fighting at the Wesel front.
The reds promised to show mutt
lated bodies of Red Cross nurses
and hacked bodies of red soldiers,
but were unable to find the corpses
and explained they must have been
buried. The stories of atrocities are
firmly believed among the reds and
the nurses refuse to work in the
advanced positions any longer.
Red Army Nondescript.
The red army of 10000 is a nom
descript and ragged army of half
armed and unequipped ex-so1diers,
all wearing portions of their old
war. uniforms. All have rifles and
a few clips of cartridges and a
couple of rusty hand grenades. The
front consists of series of machine
gun nests guarding the roads, with
the government troops in fox holes
opposite.
The intermittent shelling goes on
all day long, with the reds woefully
but the government gum
layers placing the shrapnel right
over the red positions.
Two 10-millimeter guns and four
field pieces are emplaced
to lombard Wesel, but a govern

that the workmen hostages held by
the government troops would be
shot if the reds shell Wesel, so
there is no firing on the town.

GRAVEST CRISIS
IN HISTORY OF
IRISH PRESAGED
Ireland Fast Drifting Into
Anarchy. Correspondent Says
Sim Fein Leader Held,

London, March 27.-"The gravest
crisis in the whole Irish history" is
the description applied to the pres
ent situation by the Dublin cor
respondent of the London Times, in
reiterating that Ireland is fast drift
ing into anarchy.
The Irish public views current
events with profound dismay and
sickness of heart" he says, ''and is
amazed and frightened at the gov
ernment's failure to recognize the
facts of the situation"
Public officials, it is said, live
under the shadow of murder; some
are unable to leave their homes day
or night. Murder societies are COM
pletely organized and are aware of
the movements of all officials, who
on their part, are equally cognizant
of their dangers. Knowing that the
sympathies of the telegraphers in
the state service are largely with
the conspirators they dare not use
the wires to transmit official in
formation.
All Proved on Duty.
Cork, Ireland, March ia full
and complete investigation of the
whereabouts of the police on the
night of the murder of Lord Mayor
MacCurtain has proved that none
was off his beat or at his home at
the critical hour, the government
counsel, Mr.. Wyllie, told the cor
oner's jury, which is conducting an
inquiry into the murder.
Mr.. Wyllie said that a system of
books was kept at the barracks in
such a manner that the movements
of the men were checked and showed
it to be impossible that the crime
was committed by police officer.
Member Arrested.
Dublin, March 81. Prisoners
from various parts of Ireland have
been arriving all day at MouHtjoy
Jail. Heavy military guards ac-
companied them.

General Pershing Fitted
To Take Civilian as Well as
Military View of Affairs
Education Before Attending West Point Largely in
Farm-Small Town University-Outcome of Pri-
maries in South Dakota and Minnesota Helps
His Chances for Nomination.

was the university Of the American
farmer small town. He remarked
that it made little difference which
of these two varieties of universities
a man graduated from if he was
the right kind of a man to begin
with.
Pershing graduated from the farm,
small town, country life university
before he went to West Point. He
grew up on a farm near small
town in Missouri, having the usual
experience of farm and small-town
American boy, until he was of age.
In other words, he developed his
character in the school of American
experience. He had come to years
of maturity-he had his views of
life fixed and established before he
received his military education, and
upon that factor or set of facts,
hangs much that would otherwise
not be easily understood in the char
acter of General Pershing.
Retains Civilian Viewpoint.

natural, retained the viewpoint of
the civilian during all of his army
life, by frequently coming in contact
with people in their usual walks and
avocations. When he was in Ne
braska as instructor of the cadets
at the university, he took a course
in law, thereby adding to his store
of knowledge and information from
the standpoint of civilian and still
further broadening his civilian view
point.
There is all incident in Pershing's
military life, which, perhaps, more
than any other, illustrates his civil
ian training and its effect on his
character. About the most difficult
thing for a soldier to learn as
soldier, is patience-patience under
conditions that are trying and con-
stantly spur an energetic and spirited
man to action.

Washington, March H.-(Special
Telegram. )-Now that South Da-
kota has indicated that the bugaboo
of a military man for president is
chimerical and does not exist in
fact, it becomes more and more ap-
parent that the farmers of the west
and northwest have no fear of a
military man as candidate for the
highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie. South Dakota having shown its
preference for General Wood. the
cnly military candidate on the pri-
mary ticket, the one big outstanding
thought in connection with the pri-
maries in Nebraska is what is that
state going to do for General Per-
shing, its favorite son.
General Pershing is being more
seriously considered in the last week
than ever before, because of the re-
suit in South Dakota and Minnesota.
They say, and without in any wise
disparaging General Woods qualifi-
cations, that if military man is 60
ing to be selected at Chicago in
June, why not a military man who
has made an imperishable record
for himself and his country, not only
on the fields of France and Flanders,
but one who has met every duty
magnifcently from Mindanao to the
Rio Grande?
Man Is Main Thing.
Those who have known Pershing
we'll as splendid soldier have some
times wondered why he was so diff
ferent in his general characteristics.
in his view of things and in his gen.
eral line of thought from the ordi-
nary West Pointer, the ordinary
military man. The answer is easily
