REDS TRY TO KILL
MILITARY MORALE
OF GREAT POWERS
Propaganda Drive tt
Rouse Enlisted Person
mel Reported Here.

The Russian Soviet government
has Instituted a world wide system
Of propaganda designed to wreck
the discipline of all the armies in
the world. including the American.
according to Brig. Gen. d. E. Nolan,
head of the army Intelligence divi-
sion.
In testimony, before, the Senate
Military. Affairs Committee. made
public yesterday. Nolan declared
that instructions had been issued by
the Third Internationale at Moscow
for the radicals of all countries to
seek the destruction of military
morale. and particularly to attack
the officer personnel of the armies
In Europe and the United States.
No Headway Made.
Nolan said he did not believe the
Bolsheviki had made any headway
in the American army. but added
that division commanders were TAX
ing steps to counteract any Red
literature that went to American
troops.
The Russian government, accord
ing to Nolan, is following the same
plan in its attack against foreign
armies as the one which ruined the
old Russian army-the idea Of per-
suading soldiers to agitate against
their officers and form soldiers
councils to wrest authority from
the officers.
Have Two Plans.
Nolan said that the Bolsheviki. in
their efforts to disintegrate world
government, were working along
two lines. Their other method, he
said, was to support armed attacks
along their frontiers.
Explaining the Bolshevik military
situation. he produced a report from
the American military attache in
Switzerland
This report analysed the Bolshe-
vik military campaigns, first de-
scribing the Baltic-Bl Sea line
as the most important Bolshevik
frontier area, with three main con-
centrations:
l. In the North. against Finland
and the Baltic provinces, two Boil
Shevik armies aggregating 10000
men. Opposed to them are the
forces of Finland. 10000: Esthonia,
$4,000; Latvia. $1,000.
2. In the center, against Poland.
Ave armies with 10000 men, to
which are opposed Polish forces
numbering $4,000.
3. In the South. along the Ruman-
IAN n-Bessarabian frontier. Bve Boil
shevik armies, aggregating 100, 900
men. to which are opposed Ruman-
ian forces of 10000.
Red Concentration.
The report also stated further
Bolshevik concentrations, as fol-
lows:
In Asia Minor and the Caucasus,
including northwest Persia, $4,000
men.
Turkestan. 10000 efrectivcs.
The trans -Baikal region. with tho
Bolshevik army of Central Siberia
numbering $4,000. and an army at
krasnoyarsk of 10000
The report submitted by Nolan
estimated the total organized
strength of the Bolshevik armies at
100000 men. of whom 10000 or
100000 were armed at this time.

Proposals That Statistics
As to Prices and Produc-
tion Be Compiled.
PROFITEERING SEEN
Conflicting Evidence and Di.
3ergence of Opinion Blamed
.. For Lack of Action.

Be Calder coal regulation bill
shsch went into the Senate Manu-
factures committee with the roar OF
a non emerged yesterday with the
bleak of a lamb. Instead of provid-
Ing for drastic regulation of the
coal industry, the measure contents
itself with proposing that statistics
as to the prices and production be
compiled by the government for the
Information of the public.
The nearest thing to the original
Calder proposals is a provision con-
stituting a formal declaration and
enactment by Congress that coal Is
a basic necessity, essential to the
public health and therefore charged
with the public use" That would
seek to establish the right Of Con-
gress to regulate the industry.
as originally intended by Speaker
Colder. the bill now barks at op-
orators. wholesalers and retailers
for ''unconscionable profiteering"
There is conflicting evidence and
treat divergence of opinion" the
mate report stated" as to the
Use. the committee finds that no
sse constituted either justication
Legitimate excuse for the great
Enhancement of prices which oc-
CURED Much emphasis was laid on
the fact that a considerable portion
of the profits realized came back to
the federal treasury in the form of
excess profits taxes. At best that is
merely an alleviation not an excuse.
Say Crisis Is Past.
The men in the coal industry
seek to avoid legislation by assert
ing that the crisis is past and that
It will not reoccur. Such assertions
are, however. qualified. by two fac
tors first. that there always will be
adequate transportation. and second.
that there will be no interruption
to production due to industrial dis
putes. On the other hand, there Is
in the record the prophecy of a coal
man. issued as a solemn warning.
that for few months there will be
buyers market and that from that
time on for several years 1t will
again become a sellers market with
all that they may bring with II as
indicated by the orgy of profteering
in 1920.
TT would be a gross dereliction of
duty for Congress to shut possibil-
tiles. and to fail to take some steps
to prevent the control in such re-
curing emergencies from being left
in the hands of those whose conduct
during the last year amount to a
national disgrace"

KNOX COUNTY W|LDS
GOOD FOR HIKING
State Supt. Of Public Works
Tells Of the Beauties Of
Knox County

COLUMBUS, O.. June ia recent
request from a Cleveland vacationist
to John l. Miller, state superintendent
Of public works, asking for two
weeks hiking itinerary in the widest
part of the state, brought forth rea-
dy response from Mr.. Miller, but the
request set him to thinking.
He remembered his boyhood days
in Knox county, up, near the Richland
county line, and wondered If the route
he had given the Clevelander could
be surpassed.
For the last ten years, Mr.. Miller
said, he has been planning to get up
a small party, and hike for few
weeks over the territory where he
spent his boyhood days.
He would start out from Newville
in Richland county, and 60 up the
Clearfork branch of the Mohican riv-
er. This would take in Hemlock and
Lyons Falls, two magnificent sights,
according to him. He would then ram.
BILE around the southern part of Rich
land county, and the eastern tip OF
Knox county, following Owl creek, or
on the map, the Kokosing river for a
time.
"It's wild enough in that territory u
Mr.. Miller said. "The land mostly
is wooded, unfit for farming and not
even much good as grazing land"
