propaganda. They read no papers
or books from outside. They can
not travel beyond the Soviet from
tier. They know nothing else and
are allowed to- think OF nothing
else. The spirit dominating Soviet
Russia fourteen years after the
Revolution Is very like that which
prevailed in the rest Of the world
during the war. It is the spirit Of
fanaticai intolerance, Of artificially
fostered hatred and enthusiasm, or
Observation-Disclosures conform
ity, which other countries only
know under the abnormal condi-
lions Of a state of war. The meth
DDS are those Of a military despo-
tism, terror and propaganda.
"A small group of intellec .ual
theorists have thus been able to
substitute their own dictatorship
for that Of the old regime. BY per-
suasion through propaganda SO far
as possible, but by ruthless force
whenever considered necessary,
they are able to rule the life and
thought Of a vast nation, to purge
1t Of refractory elements, to render
it so docile that they can vivisect
1t as they will, graft upon it and
experiment with it in any way that
they see fit.
ITO them no individual has any
rights that they are bound to re-
spect, no right to live as he wills,
to speak as he wills, to think as he
wills, unless, Of course, his opinions
conform with theirs. He is not free
to possess his own separate home
or farm or garden, not to educate
his own children as he thinks best,
not free to express any honest
doubts he may hold as to the pol
icy Of those in power, not free even
to quit the country If he wants to
do so.
Countless scholars and writer's
have been thrown into prison, or
banished without trial, for having
suggested some small deviation in
the program of the party leaders
who govern the country. Others
have suffered the penalty Of death
for such minor offenses as hoard
ing money. It is estimated that
million farmers within the past
two years have had their homes
and farms and cattle seized because
they did not want to pool them, and
have been sent with their families
in poverty to remote regions Of
Siberia, or other distant points of
the Union.
"Other countries in periods of
war have known interference with
personal liberty and human rights,
but generally, when the wars have
ended, propaganda has sooner or
later lost its force, terror has been
relaxed, and freedom and individ-
ual rights have been restored.
Since the World war several coun-
tries in Europe have offered strik-
ing exceptions to this rule, and in
such measure that one is some
times led to wonder whether the
era Of domestic government may
not perhaps be drawing to a close.
Most extreme among these excep-
tions Is the Soviet Union, where
military despotism goes marching
on, not only with unremitting de-
termination, but even with increas-
ing fury"

Physicians Explain New
Pneumonia Innoculation
Treatment Found to Be Effective In
Largo Group Of Cases, Experts
Declare

st. Paul. Oct. 1s-"Pneumonia
has set in!"
These words have struck terror
to the heart ever since the earliest
records Of disease and men have
worked increasingly in laboratories
and hospitals everywhere to find
some means to fight 1t.
The Minnesota State Medical As
ISOLATION tells about the newest dis
coveries in the treatment of this
age old menace in the regular bull
letin from its Education Committee
issued today.
These discoveries do not apply to
all forms Of pneumonia, so far as
effective treatment goes. But the
results Of their use in thousands Of
cases warrant wide publication, in
the opinion of the medical commit
tee.
There are two general forms of
pneumonia, lobar and broncho-
pneumonia" says this bulletin. I'm
both, the germs enter in the same
way, that is, through the bronchial
tubes. In lobar pneumonia the in
fiamation involves an entire lobe or
division of the lung while in
neutrality-suspicious. the inflammation
tends to be limited to the lung
around the brochial tubes.
"Lobar pneumonia is caused by
four different types of pneumoco-
Gus. This Is one of the most i'm
portant of recent discoveries about
pneumonia, because it was found,
as a result, that one of the types,
TYPE I" could be successfully COM
bated by a specific serum. Since
large percentage of cases of To-
bar pneumonia are actually caused
by this TYPE I" pneumococus, a
definite percentage of pneumonia
sufferers can be benefited by the
treatment"
Results of the new treatment for
TYPE I" lobar pneumonia are
good If the treatment is given early,
the bulletin declares. It points
specifically to recent reports of a
six year experiment in it's use at
Bellevue hospital in New York
where the death rate from TYPE
I" lobar pneumonia in patients who
received the treatment was less
than half the death rate among an
equal number who did not receive
it. The course of the disease was
strikingly shortened, also, in those
who received the treatment.
Unfortunately the bulletin con-
cludes, "the treatment has very lit
tie, If any, effect upon the other
three types of lobar pneumonia or
upon broncho-pneumonia neverthe-
less the universal use of 1t in
TYPE I" cases alone would save
thousands of lives every year. There
were 10000 deaths out Of 100000 re-
ported cases of this type of pneu-
monia last year and somewhat less
than three per cent Of those re-
ceived the serum treatment"
