"Poland's fall Will entail the fall ol
Germany and Czecho Slovakia, General
Ludendorff said. Their neighbors TO
the north and south will follow. Fate
steps along without elementary force.
Let no one believe it will come to a
stand without enveloping Italy, France
and England in its hideous coils, Not
even the Seven Seas can stop If.
Addressing himself to the civilized ma
tons "as man who knows war, ten
eral Ludendorff pleads that his message
not fall on deaf ears.
Then it will be too late, he de-
clared, ''and the present civilization Wlll
crumble as did that Of Greece and Rome
And the cause will be the obtuseness Of
government and the lethargy of the bour
geois, and the latter always and every
where likes to stay quietly at home on
days of decisive events.
BoIshevism Is Menace.
"Bolshevism is monster that must

and crushing everything between the
midland sea and the Atlantic ocean.
1T was easy to foresee that the boil
shevist armies would attack towards the
middle Of May and defeat the Poles, as
they have now done.
The world at large must, therefore,
figure with bolshevist advance in Pol
and toward Berlin and Prague. Lith-
, uania is already joining soviet Russia
and is demanding Il slice of the Prus-
sian province Of Fast Prussia. The mo-
ment will come when the bolshevist ar
mics will menace Germany and Czecho
Slavia directly.

vanced his lines to the frontiers Of
China, Afghanistan. Persia and India,
and is now preparing to continue his
victorious progress.
The bolshevist enterprises encounter
resistance east of Lake Baikal, on the
part of Japan and General Semenoff.
The tenactity and the superior shrewd
ness Of the japanese make it probable
that the bolshevists will meet with re-
verses in that quarter. However, the
bolshevists have the inner line in the
direction Of India and Persia. no less
than in Europe Japan's turn will be
later as they figure.
England Must be Faced
''The bolsheyists have England's world
power to face in both directions but in
addition to that we must remember they
must face what the world calls civiliza
ton besides. A conflict between the boil
shevists and England is not the only
problem The world could afford to be
an on hooker in that case. The real pro-
blem is conflict -.etween civilization
and barbarism in which the interests Of
civilized nations are. They can afford to
follow their several ways. as dictated by
their several interests, only when this
conflict is attended to.

of bolshevist propaganda tackled both it's
far flung fronts long ago with perfect
