They arc, without exception, in
tensely hostile to Bolshevism. All
are armed against the Reds, but this
does not yet mean that they are all
for Gen. WTangel. They know
nothing of WrangeL They are Ig
norant of what he has done in the
Crimea. The old fear that the vol

oppress them lives in their sus-
pieious minds. They desire the
coming of a strong leader to rule
over them and restore law ana
order.
Hatred and suspicion OF Bolshev-

In districts where Gen. WraHgers
administration has been working
for some months the feeling Of sus-
picion is fast disappearing.
! As soon as the peasants realize
that the soldiers of the volunteer
army do not pIunder. their distrust
gives place to confidence. But this
process of enlightenment is very
gradual The advance Of the vol

and liberties il is bringing.

new RUM LAWS
Planned to Issue Revocable
Permits to Purchasers
Of Liquor.

Victoria, b. c., Oct. 24.--The pro-
vincial cabinet suddenly this eve
ming dissolved the legislature, ar
ranged for a general election on
Wednesday, December / andsPremler
oliver announced that he will issue
manifesto early next week out
lining an appeal of the government
to the people.
1t is understood that pressure OF
the liquor control question prompted
the somewhat surprising move OF
the government at this time. A set
of general principles fer control OF
liquor selling will be submitted, IL
is said.
Premier oliver declined to state
the principles Of the measure to be
submitted but it is generally believed
that among them will be a reyocable
permit to purchasers, administra-
tion by an Independent commission,
and a refusal to allow large sales to
private parties.
The present governments term of
office would not have expired until
September / of next year.

WHAT BRYAN HAD TO SAN.

The Republican party, in con-
 trol of the Senate, instead of rati-
 flying at once or promptly propos-
 ing changes that it deemed neces-
 sary has fiddled while civiliZa-
 ton has been threatened with
 Confiagration It could have
 adopted it's reservations as we'll
 five months ago as later, but il
 permitted endless debate while
 suffering humanity waited.
 The Democratic Senators stood
 with the President for ratification
 without reservation. aud I stood
 with them, believing that it was
 better to secure within the league,
 after it was esta blished, any neces-
 Sary changes. than to attempt to
 secure them by reservations in the
 ratifying resolutions. But our
 plan has been rejected and we
 must face the situation S it is.
 We must either secure such com
 promises as may be possible or
 present tho issue to the country
 The latter course would mean 8
 delay of at least fourteen months
 and then success only in case of
 our securing a tWo-third3 major
