broken. a monument to bolshevism in land in which whole districts were starving because there was nothing in which to ship food from the regions or plenty.
 America Must Awaken
 As for bolshevism itself. Captain Al izire declared the world does not real ize what depth of horror the word stands for. Originally bolshevism was derived from the word meaning ma jority, meaning the majority. But that meaning. he said, nas long since been forgotten. BolsheyisTn as it has worked out, and is working out in Russia means merely a despotism worse than any the world has ever known
 America and the rest of the world must wake up to the menace of bolshc- vism. the captain added. else bOlshe- v;sm will it's bloody mark upon us, too.
 Tt is time America realizes what bolshevism means and the danger of its spreading even here, where we flat ter ourselves we are secure BOlshe- vism in this country would mean the loss of homes, of property, of ideals, of life itself, wanton and useless de- struction; an end to freedom and pros perity. I cannot understand why Amer jeans can listen to this deadly, vile boI- shevik propaganda that is being spread widely everywhere: why they permit anyone to defend it even. for many in this country are defending it..
 The boIshevik movement in Russia declared Captain Alkire, is a move ment that has personal gain for it's sole aetuating impulse. IL maintains itseif by force Even the army is kept ul3 by terrorism When man is told he must join the bolshevik army he has one alternative-prison, and probabl. eventual death by torture. Once in the army, death is the penalty for deser- tion. Even then. the captain said, bo' shevilS soldiers desert as occasion of fers. and sometimes join the opposing troops to battle fiercely against the plague of Russia.
 Started by Germany
 These impressed troops do not make up the whole Dolshevik army. howeve-. the captain said. The picked troops those who bear the brunt of the fight ing in an active campaign. are real bolshevif- Many ot them are Chi nese, who do most of the dirty work. and others are of various nationalities Among prisoners taken from the boi-- shevist ranks. Captain Alkire said, ne had seen men of every nationality ex- cept American and English-sand I'm proud to say it." the captain added.
 There is no question but that Ger many started the bolshevik movement. and that Germans are supporting it''s said Captain All1ire. He added that munitions captured from the bolshe- vist forces bore either German or American markings-either obtained from Germany or captured from the, American-supplied forces in far north Russia.
 In south Russia. Captain AIl1ire saw himself what Russia had done in na- uonalizing children--a law passed and put into force. A hundred thousand young children had been taken away rom their homes and parents by the boisheviki-and probably without tho formality of keeping any records whereby parents might ever find their children again-and sent to the south to be reared by the state. When the boisheviki retreated and abandoned the territory they did not go to the trouble to take the children, but left them there to their fate
 Danger Real One
 Captain Alkire saw 5000 of these children, homeless in fact. and for ever, in one small city south of Kiev.
 As for the bolshevist law for the naturalization of women, it is@no myth, but fact, Captain Alkire said. He saw the act himself However. this law, probably the most revoltire Of the many revolting laws of boil sheyism, was never enforced. he said. except in few small localities in a small way
 The danger of bolshevisn to the rest of the world is very real one. Cap tain Alkire declared. and only the British realize the danger. Britain knows that if the bolshevilzi penetrate southward they will engulf Persia and irdia. India, he says. is a sort Of promised land of the bolsheviki, and ore cf their direct objectives
 n this connection. Captain Alkfre pointed out that holy war would nots be impossible with the bolsheVISi -Itiers of India. for they might embroil Moseimdom in a war with Christianity.
 Meanwhile, said Captain Alkire the bolsheyists are doing their best to- spread their doctrine of crime and chaos and their propaganda is being sown widely in America and Mexico.
 Forcible allied intervention was. given by Captain Alkire as the onlv for bolshevism. and that inter vention. he says. must be made from south Russia to be effective \ huge army would not be required; few divisions. fully equipped and the Rus sian volnteers should be able to de- stroy the bolshevik fabric
 We Should Intervene
 We should go there, if onfS on humane basis" declared the captain. Intervention should be taken as the one course to protect ourselves and the rest of the world, as we'll as to save Russia We are overlooking the one sore spot of Europe. If this dis
