airy offensive, the interference of in
ternational Imperialism and CONSOLE
dation of the counter-revolution with
in the country made absolutely neces-
sary regular well-organized and
well trained army.
Could the Soviet state utilize the
old czarist army as it's armed forces?
Must Smash Old Army.
In one of his letters to Kugelmann,
Marx wrote that the working class
must not limit itself merely to the
capture of the bureaucratic military
machine, but must break and smash
! it. The October Revolution fully con-
firmed these words of Marx. The old
army was part Of the bourgeois
state machine and neither by its
| structure nor by its training could it
meet the requirements of the prole-
tartan state. 1t became still less use
full as result of its Generalization
which began prior to the fall of car
ism and reached enormous dimensions
in 1917. Already in the winter of
1856 there were in the czarist army
according to official figures one and
half million deserters. About two
million soldiers were kept in the con-
centration camp.
The demoralized czarist army ma
turally could not become revolution
airy army. On the contrary, the Soviet
government had to take up the ques-
ton of immediate rehabilitation.
Decree Feb. %.
The decree re the organization of
revolutionary Red Army was pub
lished February %, 1918. The main
skeleton of the new army was the
Red Guard. Side by side with it con-
siderable detachments of poor pea
SAINTS, some of the most re evolutionary
sections of the old czarist army 1.-THE
marines, the Lettish firing regiments
consisting primarily of factory and
agricultural workers, etc., and in
ternational detachments joined the
Red Army. The international detach-
ments were formed by volunteers
workers, military prisoners of the
German and ro-Hungarian arm
les. The feeling of international soli-
darity urged them to come to the
defense of the October Revolution.
Being well-trained and disciplined,
1 these detachments revealed marvellous
firmness and deserved the hatred of
the enemies of the revolution.
Mobilization.
The Soviet government resorted to
compulsory mobilization in June,
1918, when the counter-revolution and
the interventionist powers menaced
the very existence of the republic. The
partial notifications supported by the
trade unions were very successful
The workers joined the Red Army en-
masse voluntarily and during the
mobilization. The village was not so
fast. The peasants did not yet un-
derstand the danger. They did not
see the enemy before them. Some
/ time was necessary to cause change
! in the mood of the peasantry after the
imperialist war which had just ended.
This change was brought about by
the development of events. The in
PREVENTION and the white guards
raised the question before the pea
SAINTS: either the landlord or regu-
lar workers and peasants army and
determined resistance to the counter
revolution. The peasantry soon set
tied the question in favor of the lat
| ter.
Thus the heroic Red Army was
formed which defended the Soviet
country from all enemies Of the prole-
TARTAN revolution.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-06

After the overthrow of the czarist
government in March, 1917, Lenin
wrote: workers, you have shown
wonders of proletarian peoples hero
ism in the civil war against czarism,
you must show wonders of proletarian
and national organization in prepar-
ing your victory in the second phase
of the revolution"
The main condition of victory was
military preparation which the prole-
tariat and the toiling peasantry had
to undertake in all it's seriousness.
Prove Necessity.
The events preceding the October
Revolution and after fully confirmed
the necessity of having an armed
force by the proletariat. The attempts
to smash the revolution and stop its
further development were undertake
en- by the Russian bourgeoisie long
before the October Revolution. Cen
eral Kornilov in marching against
revolutionary Petrograd ina August,
1917, with his Cossacks and savage
division of mountaineers wrote in his
order: advance Immediately on
Petrograd, occupy the town, disarm
those sections of the garrison which
went over to the Bolsheviks, disarm
the Petrograd population and dis
perse the Soviets."
Immediately after the October
Revolution and the transition of pow
er to the hands of Soviets of Work
ers and Peasant Deputies considera-
BILE counter-revolutionary forces again
marched on Petrograd and the other
proletarian centres. These actions
were quickly liquidated They met
with the joint action of the entire
armed proletariat.
Red Guards First.
The formation of the armed forces
of the proletarian revolution began
long before the October instruction.
The first detachment of armed work
ers acted during the 1905 Revolution.
The experience of that revolution was
not in vain. Immediately after the
overthrow of czarism in February,
1917, the workers of all Petrograd
districts under Bolshevik leadership
began to create their military organ
izations. At first these organizations
were called by different names, such
as "Red Guard" workers Guard"
Workers Sentinels" The factory
\ ~,
their organization.
The basic unit of the Red Guard
was the company (of 1907. Three or
four companies of a factory formed
battalion. Apart from the shooting
companies, there were machine gun
detachments, liaison attachments, etc.
The Red Guard batallions were united
by districts. At the head of every
district was an elected commanding
staff. The officers were also elected.
Mensheviks Ask Disarmament.
The bourgeois Provisional Govern
ment and the Mensheviks and social
revolutionaries who supported it de-
manded the disarming of the workers
and INSTRUCTED in every possible way
the formation and training of detach-
ments. 1t particularly began to rage
after the action of the Petrograd
workers in June, 1917. The Red
Guard had to go underground in the
factories or take the form of factory
militia. However, despite all obsta-
cles the arming of the workers con-
tinued. The structure of the Red
Guard improved, and unified statutes
were drawn up. Soon after the Oc-
tober Revolution, a general staff of
the Red Guard was established in

Discarded d Aerial Wire Causes Tragedy-Falls
 on Power Line


 SUDBURY, Ontario, Oct. L. An attempt to remove a discarded radio aerial from a power line carrying 4,000 volts caused the death of man and his wife, while neighbors looked help!essly on.
 Frank Gervaerts was returning from work last night when he saw his wife attempting to remove a sputtering aerial wire with a mop handle. He ran from his car and seized the stick just as his wife warned him the wire was live one. The wire dangled off the mop handle and twisted around his wrist and he fell to the ground with the wire still around him. His wife threw her arms around him and received the full force of the electric charge.
 The wire had been tossed asi . by carpenters reshingling a roof and it caught on the power line.

metals has improved since last spring. The cotton crop promises well, with good returns.
 The manufacturing industry on the Pacific Coast continues to ex- pand in a material way, through branches of eastern companies ba- ing enlarged or established here. The industries of local control are also in a period of prosperous ex- pansion.
 Early in 1928 there was some evidence of dullness in business, but no material recession in C parison with the cores roIding period of 1927. Livestock and sheep industries are in a healthy condition and with reduction in stock and increase in mining the copper and other non-ferrous me- tai industries showed improve ment.
 In the Pacific Northwest and in the Mountain States the somewhat unfavorable agricultural Influences changed for the better and with midsummer a reasonably good sea- son was in sight or had been con- cluded. Employment increased. The retail trade in this section as a whole is now keeping above tbe level of last year though there are some weak spots. In the section west of the Rocky Noun tains the relation of output to de- mand has been better than during 1927.
 Expansion of commerce between the western states and If foreign markets is growing at a rate not generally known. In she last six years the exports through Pacific ports have grown more than 60 per cent, notwithstanding the in creased competition through the use of the Panama Canal iirect. This year promises to break all records.
 While, in common with rail 'oads in all parts of the country ihe passenger traffic in the west show decreases compared with last year the volume of freight traffic has increased materially.
 Altogether we look for q sub stantial increase in volume of bus mess and prosperity of our people west of the Rockies during the last half of 1928.

EARLY DAY BOXERS
 BEST, SAY PROMOTERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A. Twenty-six years of steady promoting of boxing has con- yinced Al Young that the old time boxers were much more clever than those to- day.
 He attributes this to the fact that interest was great CT in amateur boxing then and that there were more instructors.
 When Battling Nelson won the lightweight title from Joe Cans, he says that most of the aspiring youngsters changed from boxers to slug gers. Young has promoted fights longer than anyone on the coast.

TASKS ARE AHEAD
OF MAJOR TEAMS
Five in East Face Possible
Disaster in Contests
Tomorrow.

BY the Associated Press
n .YEW YORK, October 5.-Five of
the EaSt's major elevens have
NJ an outside chance of meeting
4 with disaster in tomorrow'S
foot ball games.
Nays supporters are awaiting the
Boston College game with something
approaching trepidation, not so much
because of the invaders reputation as
because of the Midshipmen's defeat by
Davis ElkinS.
Although "Biff" Jones is known to
have a great team at West Point. OBJ
servers are loath to establish the Cadets
as overwhelming favorites against the
Southern Methodists' aggregation.
On the basis of its rather weak
showing against Hobart, Syracuse is
accorded little more than an even
chance to turn back William and Mary.
West Virginia, another of Davis
Elkins' victims this year, may be Bit
ing OF more than it can chew in
tackling the Haskell Indians. and New
York University, apparently weaker
than last year, can expect strenuous
opposition from West Virginia Wesleyan,
although the latter fell before West
Virginia U. last week.
Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Brown
open their schedules against opponents
of caliber somewhat below their own
Vermont, Springfield, Maine and
Worcester Poly. Pennsylvania tackles
Franklin and Marshall; Columbia meets
Union and Cornell plays Niagara.
Hobart, which gave Syracuse bit of
scare, meets high-powered Dart
mouth machine. Pitt anticipates little
more than some additional practice
against Bethany, as does Carnegie
against Ashland and Washington and
Jefferson with Waynesburg.
Penn State may find Gettysburg a
hard nut to crack and Penn Military
figures to give Lehigh some uneasy
moments. Lafayette's high-scoring ma
chine should more or less romp through
Muhlenberg.

with Georgia Tech and Virginia enter
tainS South Carolina at Charlottesville
The Washington and Lee-North Caro-
lima State game seems to be just about
a toSS-up but Virginia Military InSti-
tute is likely to take beating at the
hands of Georgia Tech. However, one
thing is remarkable about that annual
Georgia Tech-V. M. l. contest, which is
that no matter what disparity has
seemed to exists between the teams,
w. NJ I. always has been able to put
up great battle and give the Atlanta
team the time of its life winning This
year Georgia Tech is playing its first
game and v. M /. Is In its third, which
should give the latter some advantage.
Virginia and South Carolina seem to
have great teams and the game between
them ought to be one of the best of the
year. Virginia undoubtedly has the
! strongest team 1t has put out since the
war and South Carolina is good enough
! to beat the University of Chicago and
probably has the best team it has ever
| had.
! Another game in the Southern Con-
! ference that ought to be exceptionally
| good is that between University of Ala
bama and University of Mississippi at
| IoSuAOOct%s DULL GCdiIlo dIB likely 10

/ than they were a year ago. Alabama
j has back almost its entire eleven of
) last season, while Mississippi has been
| getting so strong in the last two or
, three years that it is having difficulty
getting good schedules.
Two other big games in the South
! will be the Vanderbilt Colgate clash al
! Nashville and the Sewanee-Texas con-
| test at Dallas William and Mary Col
| lege makes a journey North to meet
| Syracuse, and good line should be

Wanted prospects for big eleven
Besides the Vanderbilt Colgate clash al

Dakota. Practically nothing is known
of South Dakota's strength, but 1t would
