Force the only Alternative.

a defensive war against Bolshevism
cannot force the Soviet Government to
resign and consequently also not form
OASIS for the reinstatement of the Rus
sian economic sphere into the European
economic sphere. The only way to at
tain this is to force the Soviet Govern
ment to resign by means of a military
intervention from outside, because the
RUSSIAN people cannot rid themselves OF
lhem But such an Intervention will
be successful only If It reaches the real
centre OF power which is Moscow.
All the offensive up TO now OF ths
anti-revolutionary Russian generals who
were aiming at Moscow has failed. The
most vital reason for it Is that they
were started with inadequate forces.
Owing TO the extensive vastness of the
Russian country, military operations In
Russia can be successful only If the
lines Of communication of the fighting
armies are properly constructed, If they
work perfectly and IL they can be safe
guarded against attacks. For all this
considerable contingents of troops are
needed. The more the armies advance
that operate In Russia the more the
troops that fight in the front line are
weakened through the despatching Of
soldiers to the lines OF communicate
while on the other hand retreating Boil
shevist troops shorten their lines of COM
munication and in this way are able to
strengthen their front lines.
II Is therefore necessary that armies
that are to fight against the Red armies
of the Soviet Government are so strong
from the start already that they will
be able to remain sufficiently strong in
the front line. in spite of repeated des-
patching of men to the lines of COM
munication. Then only an advance OF
their attack without delay is conceivable.
This is of the greatest Importance to an
offensive against Bolshevist forces. be-
cause al every standstill of the offensive
the danger arises that the Bolshevist
propaganda affects the attacking troops.
Moreover, II is impossible that an army
In the offensive against Moscow issue
from a narrow base of operations. Such
an army would be exposed to the danger
of having both fianks threatened and TO
being cut off from their lines of COM
munications.

Must Be on Large Scale.

Every military operation with Moscow
as destination must be carried out on
large scale, In an adequate proportion
TO the large base of operations which is
to be conquered. Also for that reason
such an operation must not be carried
out without considerable forces. A con-
tingent of 100000 soldiers is the mini
mum that is needed for an effective Of
fensive war against Bolshevism. 1t must
be further considered that the armies
The New York herald., 1921-08-21

who were operating against the Soviet
\ Government so far have not only beer
litoo weak but insufficiently equipped as
Rwell. They were consequently obliged tc
supply food for themselves. partly by
Eaking recourse to acquisitions. and ex-
cited thus the opposition of the rura-
population.
If, therefore, an army operates In
Ieussia whose provisioning is safe
q uarded by their lines of communication
ard who could bring the Russian peas
ants agricultural machines ana other
Implements In a limited number only
th,kn the sympathdes OF the Russian peo-
pie, would rouse for this army. This
would all the more be the case the less
the Soviet Government We're able to COM
ply with such needs OF the Russian rural
population. The Russian people must be
con,Sinced that an army interfering with
the Soviet Government does not come
for conquest but for the deliverance OF
the Russian people from the bonds of the
Soviet Government.
1t ca mot be denied that the Russian
rural population so far has not believed
In the success OF the troops operating
against the Soviet Government because
their imperfect organization was evident.
The Russian rural population, therefore,
has not had the courage to take part, but
would presumably be with superior
anti -Bolshevistic army, because the Sow
let Government has ruthlessly plundered
the peasants. Lastly 1t Is necessary that
an army operating against the Soviet
armies Is armed in a superior manner
and well equipped with the most up to
date arms, Such an army well equipped
with perfectly organized lines of COM
municaton will be able to defeat the
Soviet armies wherever it meets them.
| and most probably advance without de-
lay TO Moscow without any serious cas-
ualties.

yesterday when a man with a levelled
revolver stepped out of stairway and
told him to throw UP his hands.
Lyons knew that two OF the bags con-
tanned registered mail which he had Just
brought over from the AIS A. NJ train
from New York. He knew. too. that
Policeman Weller. the only policeman in
that part OF town at that hour. had gone
sprinting up the street to answer fire
alarm from a box at Newman avenue
and West Seventh street. 1t was a false
alarm, to remove Weller from the scene.
Lyons looked at the man with the
gun and hestated for a fraction of a
second. Then he picked up small
leather mail bag containing about
thirty five registered letters and tossed
1t inside the post office door. AS he
did so the bandit fired. Three other
men stepped out of the shadows beside
him. They seized three of the remain
ing four mall bags on the truck and
rushed across the square TO waiting
automobile.
The bullet entered Lyonss left cheek,
passed under his nose and lodged under
his right ear. He reeled to the railroad

money elsewhere on eltner OF tne Two
men. The bandits. after taking the
box, tied the hands OF the messengers
behind them, and then tried to force
