BOLSHEVIKI TO
MAKE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST ALLIES
usK OF HUGE pRopA-
GANDA POSTERS APPEAR IN
MOsCOW-CLE.sER WORK
EEfNG Done.
Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Apr. THE Bolshe-
wiki are conducting strong campaign
against America England and France
by skillful use of huge propaganda
posters in Moscow, says G. Nijpels,
correspondent of the Amsterdam
Handelsblad who visited Soviet Rus
sia recently. He found much to admire
from artistic standpoint in de-
signs of which he saw many in the
railway stations.
"This poster campaign is certainly
very clever piece of work." he
writes. Both the educated and un-
lettered classes are struck by them,
the first by the writing beneath, the
second by the drawings themselves.
The campaign was directed along
three great lines: First, to cultivate
hatred, loathing and fear for such
men as Kolchak and Denikine, sec
ond, to breed hatred of the Entente
especially against capitalistic trium-
virate, France, England and Ameri-
ca-never Japan, Italy, the Poles or
Czecho- o-Slovaks-but always this tri-
umvirate, pictured as the bourgeoise
parasiting upon the proletariat; and
third, to prevent desertion among the
red soldiers.

Associated Press

BUDAPEST, Apr. The Allies
have made not one but three Alsace-
Lorraines Of Hungary but whose as
pirations were thwarted by the Su-
preme Council at Paris.
"We have not deserved such treat
ment," he said to The Associated
Press correspondent whom he receiv-
ed in his palace here. eve did not

tested against taking part in it.
"The Germans felt the war was
bound to come, and inasmuch as they
were ready while the other nations
were not, they felt it was best it came
when an opportunity was presented
by the murder of the Austrian Crown
Prince, particularly as it was believed
Russia was inviting war"
The Archduke processes to be un-
able to understand why the Allies OBJ
ject to him. "Of course / am Haps-
burg" he said, "but why should there
be so much enmity against the Haps-
burgs on the part of the Allies? 1t

His adherents argue that the peo-
pie of Hungary want a king and that
Archduke Joseph is the best liked
man in the country.
The correspondent found him work
ing at his memoirs on his desk in the

splendent in marble, tapestries and
rare brenzes. He is short man of

burgs. He still wore a military uni
form and about his neck hung the
Grand Cross of the Leopold Order.
Commenting on the Hungarian peace
treaty, he said:
"The future of Hungary now, with
our restricted frontiers, appears
mainly agricultural, although l am
sure sooner or later our lost provin-
ces will be returned to US. Forum
ately for me, l am farmer"
The Archduke formerly possessed
three estates. One of these of $4,000
acres is in Pennsylvania which is oc-
cupied by the Rumanians. Another
large farm is in the formerly Hun
garian territory given to the Czechs.

Money which l earned myself. They

MOTHERS UNABLE
IDENTIFY BABIES
The Mother Instinct Was Proven Far
From Infalliable In Test Made
In London.

LONDON, April lis a mothers
instinct infallible Is she, by means
Of that rnaaaeefia,abble sixth sense at
tributal to all mothers able to- pick
her baby unerringly, even though it
is one of a thousand? Facts CLEANED
from careful investigation by eminent
European scientists do not prove such
to be the case.
British aristocracy has been con-
vinced that the mothers instinct
often errs and it is becoming fash
ionable to have the son and heir of
England's .noblest families tatooed to
prevent absolutely cases of mistaken
identity. It has been done recently
when distinguished families suspected
kidnappers of plotting to abduct their
newborn babies.
A distinguished continental profes-
sor recently secured 20 girl babies of
the same age, to few days, mixed
them, having first taken all due pre-
cautions that there should be no mis-
take possible as to which was which
after the experiment was over.
The mothers were then requested to
try to identify their own children
Fourteen did so, unhesitatingly and
accurately. The rest failed. The Ia
were undoubtedly guided by what is
commonly known as mothers in
stinct," for there was no distinctive
mark or popularity visible to other
eyes to distinguish the children.
The professors experiment attract
ed considerable attention. Sociologists
and students of children consulted
him. The test became much more in
teresting when it was found that the
six mothers who could not identify
their proper children absolutely re-
jected the babies the professor hand.

ing child that did not belong to her
They pursued the scholar to the Law
courts, and matters grew worse wher
the prosecuted man declared that they
were unable to distinguish their owr
babies because they had not watched
them sufficiently closely during theil
brief existence.
The first recorded case of tattoo
ing as a positive means Of Identified
ton was that of the young tsarevitch
who was murdered by the Bolsheviks
When imposters arise-they are Ger
tain to arise to be foisted upon tn
public as the escaped heir to all tn
Russias-these marks will play a
important part in deciding the ques
tion of his identity.
/ Another means of assuring the fon
4 mother that her baby is really hers
even when she checks it at . depart
ment store, is by means of the finge
print. although DR.. Galton, perfecto
: of this means of Identification, assert
that the infant hand is not full
formed until the child reaches the ag
of six. But, if the prints of baby
soft finger tips are not to be relie
upon, prints of the soles of its fee
