RUSSIA UNDER
BOLSHEVIKI
DOMINATION
Germany Lost the War, but
Won Russia, Declared
Secretary Rand

That the policy of England and the
United States III dealing with Russia
is largely responsible for the chaotic
conditions existing in that great coun-
try today was the declaration Of En-
nest L. Rand of Burlington, the "Y"
secretary who spent year in that
country during its most exciting
times.
Secretary Rand prcfaccd his story
Of the present conditions by telling of
what Russia did to save the world
from the Huns in the early years of
the war. 1t massed SO many millions
Of troops on its western front that
Germany had to keep her crack regi-
mcnts there to save Berlin from being
invaded. As a result the Allis even
tually won on the other front. When
Russia dropped out in the fall of 1917
that country had suffered more casr-
altics, had taken more prisoners and
lost more of their own men as prlo-
oncrs than all the other nations COM
bincd had lost when the armisticc was
signed.
Secretary Rand said he and his
party of II were detained in England
FIVE months and it was not until Sec
retary Lansing requested Ambassador
Page to notify the English govern
ment that the American contingent
should be despatched to Russia that
they were allowed to leave England.
He went on the first Soviet ark with
| 900 Russian wounded soldiers and
lot of pacifsts. Coming to Moscow
he described the wonderful Russian
bells and then his trip down the Vol
ga.
The party that made this trip down
through the country held by the Boil
sheyiki included five "Y" secretaries,
lot of specialists in agriculture, ed
ucation, medicine, etc, and IN every
one of the 80 villages where the boat
stopped each party would find his own
prolp and conduct class OF confer
encc. During the eight months the
group of 40 were on the great river
MI Rand said he received no WORD
from, home and they found great dis
tress among the inhabitants
He spoke of some of the horrible
acts of the "Reds" and said that the
Manchurians had been imported into
the country and were aiding the
"Reds" in carrying affairs in high
hand. He explained the meaning OF
the word Bolsheviki and described IN
detail the different factions in Russia
today, saying in closing that Germany
was already succeeding so well IN
controlling that country that 1t might
; well be said that Germany had lost
the war, but had won Russia.

find complete relief after taking only

Important to all Women
Readers Of this PAPER

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drag stores.-Adv.

In the dead wood of the old snags
ere many insects that live through the
winter regardless of how cold it gets;
creatures whose weak bodies seem to
defy the frigid temperature. Pull OF
bit of old bark from a snag and note
that there is life beneath 1t; little peo-
pie that try to scurry for cover when
their home is wrecked. They arc not
so agile as when the weather is warm,
but they are not in a state of torpor.
The fish do not hibernate during the
winter. Some species find homes in
holes or beneath rocks and roots and
get along very well without food dur
ing the cold weather. but they are not
torpid like the bears and groundhOgs
that hibernate. Most of the fish swim
about in the cold water and gather
living in winter just as they do in
summer, but none Of them require so
much food when the water is cold.

highest part of a wireless mast $50
feet high. higher than the cross on
the top Of St. Paul's, was broken by a
gale. How was 1t to be repaired?
Ladders were out OF the question But
the difficulties did not daunt one Of
the workmen, who noticed that the
mast was made Of quarter-sections
bolted together and then fitted one on
top Of the other. He asked. and was
given permission, to try the climb. He
made himself a belt, at the two ends
Of which were rings that would slip
over the ends of the bolts. Thus
equipped he started to mount on high,
the bolts being his only means of
support. On the first day he swarmed
up 200 feet, fitted the tackle, and
descended to earth. for 1t was too cold
to proceed farther On the second day
he was hOisted up the 200 feet. and
then, hand over hand by means of his
rings and bolts, he got to the top of
the mast where he effected the neces-
sary repairs. The last $50 feet Of
climbing was done in an hour. The
mans name vas Pest.
