To-day we must go TO Africa for

America produced animals larger

long ago that nothing remains of
these creatures except their bones,
and they are turned TO stone.

Otto H. Tittman, who celebrates his
10th birthday today, is an eminent geol-
ogist, long at the head of the United
States coast and Geodetic survey DIR.
Tittman is a native of Illinois, who en-
tered the coast and geodetic survey in
1867, became assistant superintendent of
the same in 1899, and ten years later
was made superintendent, post which
he retained until 1915. He has served
the government on important expedi-
tions to all parts of the world, he has
been a representative of the nation at
many important international confer
ences of specialists, he has served the
United States as boundary commissioner
in settling important controversies with
Great Britain and Canada over lands in
Alaska and British North America. He
is member of many learned societies,
astrophysical. geographical, philosophi-
cal and geological, and has made many
valuable contributions to the literature
of his specialties

General Wrangel, whom France has
recognized as the head of the anti-Bol-
shevist government in southern Russia,
is reported to have 100000 men at his
command. The Bolshevists are said to
have $4,000 men opposing him, 100000
troops on the Polish front and 100000
reserves available elsewhere. With
such a superior number of men against
him the chances of General Wrangel
becoming the actual head of the Rus
sian government seem rather slim. Per-
haps France has shown no more acu-
men in recognizing Russian rulers than
the United States has in recognizing
Mexicans

Surprising.
(St. Adams Messenger J

During debate on resolution
ealing for medical inspection in the
schools of st. Johnsbury, DR.. Alice
Wakefield made the statement that
Vermont has the highest death rate
among children under five years of age
of any state in the country. If this
statement is accurate, and presumably
it is, it should give our authorities
pause and should direct public atten-
ton to such an unfortunate, and an un-
necessary state of affairs. There is no
reason why Vermont should have such
a record. Conditions here should be
favorable tos young children and the
present situation must be due to some
definite measure of neglect. Tt may be
said in passing that it is rather strange
that st. Johnsbury, which has such a
good record so far as public education
is concerned, should have refused to
vote for medical inspection in the
schools However, the whole question
is going to be thoroughly investigated
and a report made at the next annual
meeting in the Scale city.

The drift away from the New Eng
land farms is Enthusiastically revealed
again in the census figures. Almost
every farming town in Western Mas
sachusetts shows loss in population
in the decade. There are some exeep-
tions in the Connecticut river valley
and in other localities where special
crops like tobacco or onions are being
grown intensiyely at good profit
New Hampshire as state has gained
only 90 per cent since 1910. Generally
the farming towns have fewer inhabi-
tants, and the decrease is but little
more than Offset by the substantial
gains in manufacturing centers like
Manchester and Berlin.

THE MODE OF PROCEDURE.

The condition of things in Russia
has given cause for doubt as to the
bcnignity of Bolshevik rule. As the
world revolution makes its way west
and comes nearer to the peoples of theI
West, the conviction that the Bolshe
vik purpose and intent is altogether
malevolent, seems to be confirmed by
the documents that are issuing from
the sources of Bolshevik authority. On
the one hand we have had in America
quite a number of persons who have
maintained that the Russian Bolshe-
viks are trying to put over something
the other hand we have had far
greater number of persons who have
maintained that the devil would be let
loose, if the governing of the world
should be Bolshevik governing. The
majority seem to be right.
A document is at hand purporting to
be copy of an order issued by the
Bolshevik authorities of the Kiev dis
trict, outlining the mode of procedure
against the Polish peasant population
in provinces occupied by the Bolshevik
armies Inasmuch as the order was
published in the official paper, "Isvos-
tya,' the document seems to be au-
thentic We think that murder is muir
der and massacre is massacre, even if
Il, 3, 4
the contents of this order are a repul-
sive instigation to murder and mas
sacre.
The reading of them is enough to
make any one pray: "Spare US, good
Lord, from Bolshevism. - The order
is as follows:
''The recent events in the various
sectors of the Polish frontier, our con-
tinuous advance into Polish provinces
and finally the increasing resistance of
the Poles compel us to give our party
workingmen clear advice as to the
mode of organizing Soviet authorities
in those sectors.
FTaking into consideration the ex-
periences we have had during the Civil
war, it appears absolutely necessary to
proceed at once with a pitiless and
ruthless fight against the Polish popu-
Iation, which must be radically exter-
minated-murdered without exception.
No compromise is admissible. There
fore it behooves:
''First-To adopt a system of mass
terror against preposterous peasants,
killing them outright without excep-
ton. A mass terror is also to be
adopted against all other Poles who
would take any part in the fight
against Soviet authorities.
'Second-To confscate all grain
and compel them to transport it to in
dicated places. This order refers to
grain as well as any other agricultural
products.
sThird-To give all aid to poor
Russians emigrating to Poland, organ
izing for them colonies wherever feas-
ible
'Fourth-To equalize such colonies
with the Poles.
s'Fifth-to disarm everybody, shoot
ing anyone in whose possession after
lapse of a certain time, even cart
ridge is found.
" Sixth-to leave armed detachments
in Polish towns and villages until solid
peace is restored.

Homer Kneeland, about 81 years old,
of johnson, committed suicide Wednes-
day morning by shooting himself in the
head with 3S-calibre revolver He had
also tied cord around his neck so
tightly that unless he had shot himself
Immediately death would have resulted
from strangulation. Mr.. Kneeland had
been respondent for some months, and
his act was said to be not unexpected.
He arose as usual about five and went
to the Mcfarland barn to do his work.
Failing to return at six and having no
word of him at seven his wife appealed
to neighbors to look for him at the barn
and the result was the finding of the
body. Death must have been instanta-
neous. The pistol was clutehed in his
right hand under his body. The cord
about his neck was so tight that it had
to be cut to be removed.
