believe, He is a Russian and pa

his purpose is to fight the BolsheVikl
and save the world from lheir
clutches
Defensive Fighting.
THE Kolchak armies are fighting |
on the defensive. Until they are given !
supplies by the allies, they VIII not be
able to take the offensive. Ihelr great
contribution TO the peace OF the world
at present is that they are preventing |
the spread of Bolshevism into the ORR
ent.
THE Bolsheviki in Russia nave
failed. They know that they have
failed. 1t is only matter of time be-
fore the peasants. who are disillu-
stoned and bitter, uprise once more
and annhilate the Bolshevk govern
ment When that happens what VIII
the leaders of Bolshevsm doE Rus
STA is already rooted ana Empower
ished. There is little more to gain by
holding the power IN Russia. Iheir
obvious aim is to find new worlds TO
conquer. There is great opportunity
for them among the Ignorant masses
of China and India. once the leaders
and the propaganda OF the BolsheNlkl
have entered the swarmlng lands OF
the orient, there is no estimating the
Iff horror
upon the world. Nothing stands be-
tween the western nation and such
catastrophe except the thin WaVerlng
line OF the kolchak forces.
The Capture of Omsk.
There are chinese in the BolsheVlk
armies. These men were PAID l0Ouo
rubles apiece in paper money Tor
taking Omsk. The city presented
picture of deSolauon ana horror un-
matched in the entire war, AFTER IL
had been looted by the Chinese mef-
cenaries. These men are anxious 10
return to their own homes and they
have been taught to believe that the
only thing which prevents thelr re-
turning is the Kolchak armies. once
they break through they VIII return
to China to spread Bolsheflk doc-
trines from one END OF (he orient W
the other.
IF Bolshevism can be kept isolated
in Russia, it Will wear itself out by
its own excuses. BolsheNlsm Is IKE
sickness preying upon the weak and
ignorant, BY cutting OFF the territory
occupied by the BolsheVlkl by means
of military force. the disease VIII wear
itself out. Governments are SLOW NOV
ing, but there is one thihg WHlch con
be done by the people OF america mn
mediately. Behind the holehak army
there is another pltllul army OF rev
gees. Hundreds OF thousands OF peo-
pie have fled out OF BolsheNlk hussla
into Siberia. They are under the pro-
lection and care of kolchak ana tne
military authorities, and kolchak mas
neither the supplies nor the EQUIP
ment to care for them properly lney
are scattered all the way across SIDE
ria on the line of the railroad.
They are living in box cars-twen-
