Must Fight Or Die

And the second explanation is
found in the domestic policy pursued
by the various leaders in the several
Allied nations. Terrified by the
WEAKNESS of their publics resulting
from the World War; appalled, by the
INSTRUMENTATION in the armies when
the prospect of a new campaign
opened, they have shrunk from fac
ing the fact and informing their pub
lies of the truth that Bolshevism
was a war already declared upon
the Western nations, and that the
Western nations must defend them
selves or succumb.
Instead, they have conducted
great war in the most insignificant
and contemplate fashion, They have
wasted vast sums, covertly sent
troops and publicly recalled them
when the thing was discovered. In
so far as they have dared they have
made war, but it has been a war
which no soldier would conduct, for
every soldier recognized the magni-
tude Of the task and the unmistak-
able truth that it would require
great armies as we'll as large appro-
priations.
And the end of the war has been
defeat-defeat such as followed the
attack upon the French Revolution
for many Of the same reasons. The
Allies have quarreled among them

Hired Daniel Frohman
It was busy winter that fol-
lowed the organization Of the colony
in New York December, 1869, Two
men did little besides attending to
the correspondence and keeping the
membership receipts, balanced with
the colony account kept in the
cashiers office of The Tribune.
Finally the correspondence increased
so rapidly that I persuaded young
Daniel Frohman to become my as
sistant secretary. He was with Mr..
William Barker, at the head of The
Tribune advertising department., and
glad Of the chance to make some
extra money by working after hours.
He was a rapid accountant and had
a wonderful gift for reading diff
cult writing-and later declphered
all the manuscript of "a Busy Life"
that Mr.. Greeley hastily prepared
for Bonners "New York Ledger"
and which few printers could read
correctly, even in The Tribune
office.
In connection with Mr.. Frohman
it may be interesting to say that his
brother, Gustave, the youngest Of
the early "kid travellers" to Cali
fornia by boat, who had his pictures
published in Frank Leslie's" as a
lost boy, much wanted by his
parents, was quite a hero when he
returned from the Golden West,
with new clothes in his valise and a
$40 sombrero on his head. He
eventually became "Mr. Greeley's of
fee bog" and was on guard at the
door of the inner sanctum when
called to get Mr.. Greeley to write

colony newspaper in Colorado, THE

father and secured his quick ap-

; of Poland Is Great B0lshevist Triumph
The Way Now Lies Open for Russia
to Push Its Plans for Con-
quering Europe

Grodno, a Bolshevized Ukraine may
have autonomy to the nth power.
What is now important is that the
Bolshevist methods, principles, ideas
shall be applied as widely as posi-
BILE; that the infection which has
possessed Russia may pass the
frontiers and begin its march west
ward. The political phases are
still unimportant; Napoleon may
follow the Russian revolution, as
Bonaparte followed the French, but
this is another question.
1t is a twofold reason that must
explain the victory Of Bolshevism,
one of the most astonishing victories
in all history. First, the division
between the Allies, the British policy
to restrain France, even by sacrific-
ing Poland; tho French desire to
build upon a great Poland vigorous
French policy, with the possible po-
litical ascendency in Europe, which
was, with a few Interruptions, I'M
challenged from Louis XIII to Ma
poleon III, from the Treaty OF West
phalia to that Of Frankfort; and
the clash between French and Ital-
ians resulting from French support
Of the Jugo- o-Slavs against the Ital-
ians in Fiume and the Adriatic.

man was the trusted farmland and
teamster employed by Samuel SIN
clar. In the following spring he
joined the Greeley Colony and did
tirst-class service for the tender
footers who landed on the cactus
beds Of Greeley.
In those days there was not even
q switch, ard the only station was a
box car, temporarily placed at the
disposal of the colonists. Trains ran
only every other day, and none of
the great Pacific lines had vet
reached Denver, although General
William A. Palmer was laying Kan
sas Pacific track toward the Rockies
at the rate Of mile a day.
Cur young farmer from the Hud-
son Highlands soon left the Greeley
ranches, for Santa F'e railroading.
and rapidly worked his way up from
praklng and firing to Office duty, until
one day he found himself boss Of the
Santa re office in Denver. He never
knew that the Greeley Tribune head
ing he had seen in the New York
tribune office was a simple woodcut
heading, for the first issues, to last
until a permanent electrotype head
could be obtained. The one used to
this day has been a reproduction of
the old original one that Mr.. Greeley
wrote the copy for, at my request, in
New York.
Such are some of the mistakes. in
nocent, willful or otherwise, said to
be the result of too much high alti-
tude mixed with light air and alkali.
Little things like nisbrandine an
other mans achievements, or his
liked and movable property, have
been considered legitimate, if the
culprit could get away with it.
particularly if he had plenty of
money to make the deed respectable,
able counsel to lead him to trails of
safety, and the backing Of organiza
tons, commercial and political, that
admire thing we'll done.
By the way, l might add that l
signed the receipts for some 100000
subscribed to the Colony Fund while
| was the original secretary in the
Tribune office; and yet for nearly
half a century I have read the
Claims, of a later secretary whose
name was unknown until most all of
the money had been raised, that he
was the first secretary-even when
my signature was plainly written on
the very receipt which he displayed
in his hand.

Have Conquered Poland

Now Russia, the Bolshevists, have
struck Poland down, and there Is
nothing left in their pathway in Eu.
rope. Germany lies open to them.
and no one can mistake the fact that
there are in Germany conditions
which offer the very finest field for
Bolshevist activity.

nificant and indefensible states SUI
fering from economic prostration
and something approaching starva-
ton, lies just beyond the western
frontiers of Poland. No fairer on.
portunity beckoned the French Rev.
olution, after the initial repulse Of
the invaders at Valmy, than row
lies spread before the Bolshevists.
Nor is the invitation to invasion
more pressing in Europe than in
western Asia. From the Bosphorus
to India, from the Caucasus to Cairo
there is chaos. States are rising and
falling; races and tribes free and in
subjection are either in arms or
seeking to take up arms. The Brit.
ish and the Greeks are fighting the
Turks. The French are at war with
the Arabs. In the Balkans TIE Turk
and the Bulgars are fighting the
Greeks. The Armenians in their
highlands are fighting Turk and Boil
shevists.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-01
A French Parallel

Now consider what this means. A
century and quarter ago the
French Revolution, overf1owing into
Central Europe, began the creation
of a series Of republics about it in
the lands which had anciently been
the promised land for French aspi-
rations; from Holland to Italy
France was bordered by fringe of
republics, in which the ideas and the
influence Of the Revolution we're
predominant. A little later they
were, without exception, gathered
into the French fold, where they re-
mained until after Napoleon abdi-
Gated.
If only it could be made clear to
the American audience that Boil
shevism was state of war, the real
truth Of the whole Russian problem
would be simply established. Those
who clamor for peace with Russia
are, without exception, unwilling to
concede the truth that, while it is
possible for the west to stop its di-
rect and indirect fighting, which has
been so dishonest and deceitful, be-
cause statesmen were afraid of their
own constituencies. there is no or1ar-

Sinclair, then publisher and chief
owner of ''The Tribune" and told
him was going to have them cleo

column measure. to use out West in
the Greeley Colorado "Tribune." ."
Mr.. Sinclair laughed loudly, but
added: "Why don't you get him to
write your heading palmer, so it can
be read?" He couldn't understand
why I preferred the most illegible
one as best for advertising and
showing Mr. Greeley's writing as it
usually appeared, uniformly alike,
but puzzle to decipher.

"The Cincinnati Commercial" Of
that day gave the new Colorado
paper a fine notice, the editor say
ing that he had read the "Gnarly
Trombone" with interest and pre-
dicted it's success. Years later, at a
meeting Of railroad men and West
ern editors, the gifted and prosper
Gus representative of the Santa Fe
Railroad, in Denver, told the
story Of how once in "The New York
Tribune" Office, in New York, he
was present when Nathan c. Meeker
came in from a neighboring type
foundry and said: "Here is the head
ing for my new paper at Greeley,
Colorado" and he exhibited the very
heading which Horace Greeley wrote
for him; land | saw it with my own
eyes, declared the Santa Fe repre-
sentative of the popular anti-mois-

man, who has fought his way up to
dizzy success, through cloudbursts,
tarantulas, centipedes, other peo-
pies mavericks, and Arizona hail
storms which filled Grand Canyons

ice, never makes an intentional mis-
statement, however much he may be
honestly mistaken. The fact about

Of 1870, let me congratu-
late The Tribune on the publication
Of the page article in tho Sunday
Magazine section Of July d. Many
columns have been written of
Greeley and its successes, with many
misstatements persistently and will
fully repeated and sent broadcast
without apparent excuse. | am glad
your picturesque account of the
founding and settlement of the
Greeley colony is substantially cor
rect.
1t may be interesting to state
further that my father, the founder
Of that colony, had previously been
a leader in establishing the once
famous Trumbull Phalanx at Brace
vile, Ohio, some twelve miles west
of Warren, in what is now known
as the Youngstown region. That was
in the early '40s, when Mr. Greeley
was espousing the North American
Phalanx at Redbank, N. J. 1t was
while in the Trumbull Phalanx that
Mr.. Meeker became acquainted with
Horace Greeley through correspond
ence and acquired deep interest in
the various cooperative movements
of the day.

Saw Dangers Ahead

Experience, however, convinced
him in the end that certain imprac-
ticable features of so-called Fourier
ism, which dominated these pha-
lanxes, would ultimately destroy
the beautiful humanitarian ideas
which the honest, Woodworking
founders hoped to make the chief
cornerstone Of the movement.
Later Mr.. Meeker wrote a book
to this end, entitled "The Ad-
ventures Of Captain Armstrong"
a graphic story of how Con-
necticut ship was wrecked on
an unknown island in the distant
tropics, and all the passengers and
crew, including officers, We're saved.
The entire narrative described in
graphic detail how civilization was
among the natives, with
industries, manufactures,
and, lastly, politics, with everybody
clamorous, for Office. The crowning
was the building and
launching Of a steamship, which was
finished just In time to enable Cap

Poland has been permitted to go to
ruin and the one really effective
army, measured by Western stand
ards, has been practically annhi-
lated. Russia now holds the upper
hand on all her frontiers. The bor-
der states now and henceforth are at
her mercy, and if she chooses now
to be generous in the matter of ter
ritorial concessions, she is giving
what she can presently retake.
Instead of having line of indie
pendent states extending from Fin
land to Rumania, capable combined
of Offering desperate resistance to
Russian aggression and, sustained
by Western arms, able to hold back
Russian armies, we have now only a
collection Of wretched states, each of
them incapable alone of successful
resistance, each Of them convinced
that it has nothing to expect from
the Western nations and therefore
no incentive to resist and every rea-
son to make the best bargain that
it can.
