BANGS MAKES OBSERVATIONS

New York.-Bolshevism will never
take root In the miles Of ruins along

French is kept high while the people
are rebuilding and replanting, asserts
John Kendrick Bangs. 1t is better
to build up q human soul than TO re-

writer and lecturer epitomizes.
Speaking from observations made In
two trips Of inspection through the
regions which remain almost as
wrecked and desolated as the Ger
mans left them, he declares the work
done by the American Committee for
Devastated France to be most import
tant in steadying the population dur
ing the reconstruction period.
Fears Would Be Allayed.

Mr.. Bangs, "when the great DOGGY of
Bolshevism is being reared every
