$2,842,021,000 Victory Bonds Yet To Be Sold Nearly Half of Buying Must Come in Final Week of Campaign if Govern? ment Gets Money It Needs Workers Are Optimistic Feel Sure That Momentum Gained in Fight Thus Far Is Sure to Bring Success Latest statistics of subscriptions re? ceived last night at the close of the first two of the throe weeks drive for $4,500,000,000 to pay the unpaid bills of victory showed that the bulk of the people's job of lending funds to the government will have to be done in the closing days of tho campaign. The Treasury Department announced that $1,657,979,000 of the new gold Victory notes had been sold in the first eleven business days of the coun? trywide "push." This figure reveals that the people in the twelve Federal Reserve districts have fallen $1,092, 021,000 behind their schedule. To touch the goal fixed by Secretary Glass, $2,842,021,000 will have been subscribed in the days that remain. The campaign workers are confi? dent that the cumulative effect of the campaigning in the opening weeks will be registered in the notes sold next week. If Each Does His Share If only each citizen realizes that his subscription is necessary for success the amount will be tilled easily, say loan officials, who insist thare is plenty of money in circulation. Ranking tenth among the Reserve districts, New York and the rest of the Second Federal Reserve District have raised $376,906,250, or 27.9 per cent of its quota. To raise the $1,350, 000,000 which was allotted to this district, the people will have to buy notes at the rate of $189,013,400 in the remaining days. The gain for the dis? trict on the eleventh day was $43,999, 700, and for the country as a whole S157.979.000. Three of the twelve Reserve dis? tricts have exceeded the half-way mark?St. Louis, Minneapolis and Chicago.

Russia-Will Emerge Free, Strong and United ! " Says Catherine Breshkovsky in UGGLING A New Weekly Magazine Devoted to Russian Problems Rassia Will Emerge Free, Strong and United! The Russian People Against Bolshevism Leonid Andreiev, the famous Russian writer, in his "Appeal to Humanity" says : <t"VTOT for the Russian people do I pray for help. To save the ?^ Russian people is too great a problem, and God alone ia the master of its life and death. In these sorrowful days when the scorn and laughter of fools is the lot of great and trampled-in-the-dust Russia, I bear with pride my Russian name, and firmly believe in the future and glory of Russia. Such giants like Russia cannot perish! Whether the Allied Governments come to Russia's aid or she is left alone to free herself from the putrid swamps, it> matters not. In the destined hour Russia will rise from her grave, will come out into the path of light and will take her place amon;' tho great nations of the earth." ("Struggling Russia," April 26. 1919.) Catherine Breshkovsky, "The Grandmother of the Russian Revolution," says: * * RUSSIA will emerge free, strong, and united! Natureiteelf 1 has constructed her to remain in her entirety. It is the Ukraine that fed all of Northern Russia, giving her excellent wheat and seven;! kinds of grain so much needed all over the country. It was she who furnished all Russia with her garden fruits, the delight of our children. After the Ukraine, it was the Donetzky Basseyn which enabled the Moscow region to develop its industry, supplying it with millions of tons of the best coal, giving heat and light to millions of people. What would Russia be without the Ural, with its stores of every kind of mineral, metal and precious stones, its beautiful mountains covered with mighty forests, with rich meadows giv? ing the best of grass to feed millions of cattle? Linen and hemp are supplied by Little Russia, and cotton by the Province of Tashkent. Oil, naphtha and kerosene are ob? tained from Baku, which yields these treasures in sufficient quantity to satisfy all the demands of Russia's interior shipping and other industries. Certainly, oil is not the only material from the Caucasus that enriches Russia. There is another immense Province that presents Russia with no lesser gifts?Siberia. For a long time this vast Province has been considered by the Rus? sian people its treasury of gold, silver, precious furs and lum? ber, in quantity sufficient for many centuries. And in their turn all these Provinces ar3 in need of the region which has Moscow as its center, for all Russia's industry was concentrated here owing to the fact that the dense popula? tion of 'Great Russia,' gathered here through political need and historical developments, could not depend upon the natural prod? ucts of its own scanty soil and was forced to apply its energies to industrial work. Textiles, wares and other goods were manufactured around Moscow in great quantities and there was not a nook in Russia that did not use goods manufactured in Moscow. Thus, every Province was always certain that all its needs would be satisfied by the indu3trk 1 center and always looked upon that center as a part of itself. Once Russ.a is free, she will unite around her all those who seek freedom and peace, who desire to live together in friendship. She will exist as a strong Federal Republic, protecting every nationality within her boundaries." ("Struggling Russia," April 19, 1919.) Russia s Sacrifices in the World War "Kussia will rise from her grave," says Leonid Andreiev. The civilized world should understand that Russia's tem? porary ruin is the consequence of her participation in the War; that Russia is lying in seas of blood and tears be? cause she has sacrificed everything for the Allied cause. The diagram below is prepared on the basis of figures published by Gen. March, Chief of the General Staff'of the United States Army, in his statement regarding the casualties in the Allied Armies during the War. THE DEATH TOLL JN THB ALLIED ARMIES The diagram speaks for itself. As far as Russia is con? cerned, the statement of Gen. March is based probably on in? formation transferred to this country from Copenhagen. The Copenhagen dispatches underestimated the Russian casualties in this War. A pamphlet issued by the Committee on Public Information under the title "A Tribute to the Allies" esti? mated the total Russian casualties ii this War, including war prisoners, as l'?.000,000, of whom 3,000,000 were killed or died of wounds. The estimate of the Committee on Public Information cor? responds with the data of the Russian General Staff. Rus? sia's sacrifices in this War are not less than 3,000,000 dead, and about 1,000,000 disabled for life. Russia is lying in seas of blood and tears because she has sacrificed everything for the Allied c*iuse. ("Struggling Russia," April 5, 1919.) The plague of Bolshevism has struck Russia be? cause the terrible sacrifices of the"first three years of War have exhausted the nation, undermined her industries, commerce, transportation and finance. But the Russian people have fought, are fighting, and will fight Bolshevism to the. very end. If you want to understand why the people of Russia, not only the Russian middle-class but also, and especially, the Russian peasantry and working men are waging open war against the Bolshevik; ; if vou want to know why not only the Russian liberals, the Constitutional-Democratic Party, but also the People's Socialists, the Social-Democrats Mensheviki and the Party of Socialists-Revolution? ists are engaged in a death struggle with Bolshev? ism?read the following telegram of the British High Commissioner, R. H. B. Lockhart, to the Sec? retary of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain, Mr. Bal four. The telegram is dated November 10, 1918, and here is its full text : WTHE following points may interest Mr. Balfour:? A 1. The Bolsheviks have established a rule of fore? and oppression unequalled in the history of any autocracy. 2. Themselves the fiercest upholders of the right of freo speech, they have suppressed, since coming into power, every newspaper which does not approve their policy. In this re? spect the Socialist press has suffered most of all. Even thfl papers of the Internationalist Mensheviks, like Martov's, have been suppressed and closed down, and the unfortunate editors thrown into prison or forced to flee for their lives. 8. The right of holding public meetings has been abol? ished. The vote has been taken away from every one except the workmen in the factories and the poorer servants, and even amongst the workmen those who dare to vote against tho Bolsheviks ave. marked down by the Bolshevik secret police as counter-revolutionaries and are fortunate if their worst fa to is to be thrown into prison, of v/hich in Russia to-day it may truly be said, 'Many go in but few come out.' 4. The worst crimes of the Bolsheviks have been against their Socialist opponents. Of the countless executions which the Bolsheviks have carried out a large percentage has fallen on the heads of Socialists who had waged a life-long strupele against tha old r?gime, but who are now denounced as counter-revolu? tionaries merely because they disapprove of the manner in which the Bolsheviks have discredited Socialism. 5. The Bolsheviks have abolished even the most primitivo forms of justice. Thousands of men and women have been shos without even the mockery of a trial, and thousands more art? left to rot in the prisons under conditions to find a parallel to which one must turn to the darkest annals of Indian or Chinese hiatory. 6. The Bolsheviks have restored the barbarous methods o? torture. The examination of prisoners frequently takes placo with a revolver at the unfortunate prisoner's head. 7. The Bolsheviks have established the odious practice of taking hostages. Still worse, they have struck at their political opponents through their women folk. When recently a long list of hostages was published in Petrograd, the Bolsheviks seized the wives of those men whom they could not find and threw them into prison until their husbands should give themselves up. 8. The Bolsheviks who destroyed the Russian army, and who have always been the avowed opponents of militarism, have forcibly mobilized officers who do not share their political views, but whose technical knowledge is indispensable, and by tho threat of immediate execution have forced them to fight against their fellow-countrymen in a civil war of unparalleled horror. 9. The avowed ambition of L?nine is to create civil warfare throughout Europe. Every speech of Lenine's is a denunciation of constitutional methods and a glorification of the doctrine of physical force. With that object in view he is destroying syste? matically both by executions and by deliberate starvation every form of opposition to Bolshevism. This system of 'terror' is aimed chiefly at the Liberals and non-Bolshevik Socialists, whom L?nine regards as his most dangerous opponents. 10. In order to maintain their popularity with the work h.gmen and with their hired mercenaries, the Bolsheviks are pay? ing their supporters enormous wages by means of an unchecked paper issue, until to-day money in Russia has naturally lost all value. Even according to their own figures the Bolsheviks' ex? penditure exceeds the revenue by thousands of millions of rou? bles per annum. These are facts for which the Bolsheviks may seek to find an excuse, but which they cannot deny." ("Struggling Russia," May $, 1919.) The Issue of April 26th contains: "S. O. S."
