The Week
simond's View OF Europe

Frank H. Simonds, known through
out the world as the most popular
writer on the great war, is now out
with theory that Europe can be
saved from bolshevism only by re
esta blishing German militarism. This
militarism would then stand between
western Europe and Russia. A tri-
umphant German junker state. how
ever, would absorb Russian trade
and constitute new menace to
Europe like that said to exist prior
to 1914.
Surely this is not a very hopeful
prospect of salvation-a major war
wit the BaIsheviki through the Ger
man junkers and then another world
war to eliminate the German junkers
again, and then another war against
the bolshevism produced by the sec
ond world war, and so on ad iniini-
tum. with the war to end war, which
we thought was the last war, still fas
in the future.
Simonds View of the future is that
held by the spscial-privilege classes
and the superficial people in general
of the allied countries He was always
superficial and generally wrong in
prophecy, but he always made the
prejudices of the ruling classes APP
pear plausible and consequently got
press popularity.
Thus with Europe as ii is today
bolshevism is indeed a menace to it.
In two months the Soviets have
emerged triumphant over all outside
force. But Europe doe'nt hay to re-
main as it is today. Within three
months every country in Europe can
drive out special privilege and thus
feed and make its people prosperous
instead of beggars Special privilege.
however, prefers war without end 10

Wise Fircsight

In the Chicago papers there ara
pictures of some OF the men taken in
the red raid on New Years day, to-
gether with some of the detectives
who made the raid.
The footnotes carefully explain
which are the prisoners and which tbs
detectives. This was a wise move, for
otherwise, unprejudiced readers
would have made terrible mistake,
The detectives are the only ones who
look like Observation-Disclosures.

Hoovcr's Report on Europe

Hooyer's statement that European
needs are not so bad as they ara
generally painted has probably caus-
ed good deal OF surprise Nor is
there any apparent reason why Hoo

bic aid TO the distressed parts of
Europe unless it could be that our
government has gone as far as it ca.l
and wants t0offset the thelp Europe
propaganda.

 TWO ROOF FIRES

Prompt discovery and quick work on the part of the fire depart ment prevented two incipitient roof fires developed serious aspects during late Sunday afternoon when q small blaze was discovered creeping among the shingles on the roof of the Pioneer lg'loo. few squrts from the chemi-
 cal speedily subdued the flames which
 were supposed to have had their origin
 in falling sparks from nearby chim-
 neys. The damage amounted to very
 little. The second blaze occurred at the Wild Goose heating plant on Lanes
 acter than the Igloo fire owing to the
 flames breaking out on the roof Of the oil house in close proximity to the huge
 oil tank which supplies fuel to the fumace. The blaze is believed to have resulted from burning oil soot falling
 from the smoNe stack of the Nome
 Restaurant into the gutter between the Wild Goose and Carmen buildings.
 Parties standing in the rear end of the Board of Trade saw the flames through the open dooY of the oil house as they crept along the eyes of the building and gave the alarm in time to prevent q serious conflagration. By the time the deparMment arrived the fire had eaten it's way through the roof
 at several points within few yards: of the oil tank. The chemical made short work of the flames A few dol-
 lars will cover the damage done.
