SENATOR WHEELER IS
BACK FROM EUROPE
Tells Of Conditions of Ignorance and
Poverty In Old World; Forecasts
B~oIshevIsFn for Germany

Butte.-Capitalism will be restored
In Russia within five years.
Lenine is a sick man. His ailmeni
Is probably due In a large measure 10
the failure of his communistic form OF
government.
Russia ought to be recognized by
the United States. provided the pres
emit government will recognize the In
debtednsss of the governments of the
czar and of Kerensky TO the United
States.
Conditions in Russia are not so bad
as they are In Germany. There is
more actual want in the German states
than In Petrograd or Moscow.
The continued occupation of the
Ruhr by France will mean the over
throw of the present German govern
ment and the establishment Of q boil
shevist regime.
The Russian people are not Euro
peans but Asiatics for the most part.
They are largely illiterate. The pres
emit soviet government has done much
work In the matter of education. Many
former palaces and mansions have
been converted into schools. The red
army, 100000 strong. is being taught
the elements Of education. They are
well clothed. well fed and devoted to
the present government as a result.
There is no possibility Of overthrow
Ing the present Russian government.
Efforts to do this from the outside had
the effect Of arousing a consciousness
of nationality among the Russians
and the consequent strengthening Of
the soviet government.
A man would be better off In jail in
America than at liberty in Russia.
These are some OF the conclusions of
Senator Burton X. Wheeler, who ar
rived home recently from a trip which
he and Mrs. Wheeler took through
central Europe. They visited Italy,
France, Germany, Sweden, Finland
and Russia.

]. r. Newboid, member of the Brit

English communists should do in the
struggle against British capitalism.
Alexander Trachtenberg, of the
United States, said the time had ar
rived when the executive committee
should show the way and means Of
carrying on the struggle against
American Imperialism. He advocated
summoning a conference of the par
ties In the states concerned. He as
serted that NJ. Radek had not suffi-
GENTLY emphasized the Importance of
American Imperialism, which he
charged with responsibility for Latin
American revolutions.
Hopes for further friendly relations
between the United States and Russia
were expressed Mt a private dinner at
tended by representatives Of the Amer
lean relief administration and of the
Russian government.
The soviet leaders expressed deep
appreciation for the charitable work
done by the Americans in Russia and
voiced the hope that 1t would lead to
closer friendship between Russia and
America.

ment

Bozeman.zA coroner's jury ac-
cused Seth o. Danner with Staying
afr. and Mrs. John Sprouse, Nov. IA,
1920, at Central Park. Coroner Z. w.
Harland declared that he had estab-
lished the identity of the bodies In the
shallow grave on the banks of the
West Gallatin as the Sprouses and
that he had evidence that Danner was
with them when they camped at the
spot where their bodies wereaun-
earthed and where Mrs. Danner says
her husband killed the couple with a
shotgun and the hunters AK found In
the Danner cabin at Three Forks.
This is IN important fact In the
case. Mr.. Harland said. as Danner has
maintained that he never saw the
~Sprouses after they left Mobridge, s.
d.. two weeks and a day" before the
banners left for the west and also hat
he never had camped at the place
where the bodies were found.
The verdict of the jury was that
the body of the man found buried in
a shallow grave near Central Park,
Mont, June 8, 1923, Is that OF John
Sprouse. and the body of the woman
buried ar his side, we believe TO be
that Of Florence Sprouse. his wife. and
that the latter met death by a blow on
the head from some blunt instrument
In the hands of S. O. Danner. and we
believe that said John Sprouse also
met violent death at the hands of one
said s. O. Danner."

premier of Bulgaria from the time the
peasant government was formed I'M
der his leadership in 1918 until he was
overthrown recently by the Bulgarian

Under the fire OF the peasants the
guards abandoned S~tamboulisky and
the peasants proceeded to escort him
toward the village.
En- route. a band of soldiers attack
ed the peasants with rifle fire. 1t was
during the short, stiff fighting which
followed that Stamboulisky was shot

which the adherents of Stamboulisky
~endeavored TO make has been finally
