The usual Monday tea will be held at the clubhouse at 1&2 X street Mon BRITISH BOLSHEVISTS TRIED REVOLUTION LAST WINTER CONTINUED FROM PAGE FOl'B. ing conditions, but, Kealey announced, "to smaih up the whole social sys tem." It was found impossible to united the mass of the worker* at that time under the flag of revolu tion. for the British workman is pa triotic, and the leaders bided their time. McNirib and Cflwrti Meet. In Glasgow on January 26 of this year there met in secret conclave the leaders of North and South, McManus and his cohorts from the Clyde, where the shop stewards' movement had prospered, and Watson from London representing his followers spread I throughout the South of England. The I conference lasted through the next I day, and it was agreed to form a com Imittee to "take over the government of the country." The collapse of the social system and of the war was to be brought about by means of a gen eral strike. The government, aware of the dan gerous situation in Glasgow, where workers' committees had openly an nounced they would oppose the new man-power bill, sent Sir Aukland . Geddes, minister in charge of recruit- I ing, to address the Clyde workers, and the Bolshevists, as was not reported in the newspapers at the time, cap- i tured the' meeting. It was held on January 28. The revolutionary conference, of which the government i at the time did not know, had just ad- j Journed, and its leaders attended the . Geddes speech and carried a demand ? that the allies should accept the Bol shevik peace terms and join the Brest Litovsk conference under the penalty j of a general strike in ten days. The j man who rose to proix>se this resolu tion was McManus. chief of the Na- I tional Workers' Committee, who, his j followers declare, aspires to be the i | British I^enin. | The revolutionary council had de J elded that February 13 was to be "the | j day." A general strike to end the war j and bring about the Bolshevik revolu- j j tion was to be ordered. The Bolshe- ; I viks of the North were enthusiastic. . | but it was realized that the co-opera- J I tion of the red brotherhood ail over the country was necessary if the re j volt was to succeed- Watson chief of | the Southern Bolsheviks, had agreed at the Glasgow conference to the rev ! olutionary strike, and went back to London, full of zeal, to persuade his followers to down tools. Opposition Develops. He did not succeed. A meeting of | j shop stewards was called in London, j j where the former organization of , ! representatives of trades unions has now given away, as in the North, to avowedly Bolshevik and independent ' t odies formed in the plants. Opposi l tion developed to Watson's plans, j | How much of this was due to patri- J otic feeling and how much to a belief | I that the time waf not ripe I am un ) able to say. Watson's eloquence was unavailing; it was derided that before the strike could be called a ballot must be taken among the workers. Bolshe viks do not like ballots, and Watson strenuously objected. It was pointed out that an attempt to sound the whole body of workmen could not be kept secret, and the government would ! learn of the conspiracy and be ready to suppress it. Accordingly, the South | I decided not to strat the revolution, and i the North reluctantly was compelled to acquiesce. | Now for proofs of the sensational statements made above. Watson, president of the London Workers I Committee, wrote on April 6. less than l two months after the failure of the i conspiracy "At that time (In Febru- | lary) the Bolsheviks were appealing to | ? the democracies of Europe to rise in I ] revolt against the ghastly slaughter, j 1 and the German and Austrian workers | ! responded by extensive strikes. Some I of us In Britain endeavored to follow ( | suit." He wrote the same day: "Let , I us build up a British Soviet. an-1 I added a damning phrase: "It was a remarkable coincidence that the Ger ' mans subsequently reported that there 1 were peace riots in England on Feb ruary 12." . . ! In point of fact, no surh riots took place. This remark of Watson's brings up the question of what co-operation, if any. existed between the Germans and the Sinn Feiners and the British Bolsheviks. On this point I have no evidence. But it seems fair from Wat son's own words to draw the infer | ence that the Germans were informed J that there was to be an outbreak of the workers in Britain on February 1-* I and that they did not learn in time to I refrain from comment on the day | named that the revolutionary strike j had been put off indefinitely. ?'Una MT?terlou?. J At present the plans of the National Workers' Committee are somewhat mysterious. It is said In some .gar ters that an attempt at revolution may occur at any time.

Th? twelve leaders in w hose hands seems to have been placed the power to call the revolutionary strike when they deem the timeTias come are anx ious to corrupt as many as they can of the men who have fought. Only one attempt was made by the Bolshe vists during the war. at Tunbrldge Wells, to provoke mutiny in the army, and this was a fiasco; but now shop stewards and workers committees in the Midlands and on the Clyde and in South Wales are working hard to get official position in the associations of discharged soldiers that are springing day from 4 to 6. with section 9.

The object, of cour?e, of the agitators. 1* to turn into Bol chevik channels these unions which, ike the G. A. R. at home, are formed ?.o promote the interest of the soldier. At Sheffield at present the local workers committee, under the leader ship of J. T. Murphy, shop steward, is exploiting the grievances of the dis charged soldier and trying to unite workers and soldiers a* was done in Russia, and the same movement is in progress elsewhere, notably in Wales Cluiraeterlatiea Differ*at. Bolshevism in Wales, among the i miners, presents characteristics some what different from those prevailing throughout England and 8cotiand. The National Workers Committee, which now covers the rest of the country, does not control Wales, where the In dependent Labor party appears to con trol the revolutionary propaganda. This organisation elsewhere k* merely the strongest of many extreme parties that are more or 1cm connected with the extremists, but in Wales its whole organisation appears to be in Bolshe vik hands. Wales, with the exceptiop of the Clyde, is the region where revolu tionary talk and feeling runs high est. There is much rivalry between Wales and Glasgow as to which lo cality will have the honor of father ing the revolution. Bolsheviks from the Clyde frequently visit Wales and address meetings of the miners. Mrs. Crawford, the leading woman agitator of Glasgow, has recently been deliv ering fiery harangues to large meet ings in Aberdare and Mertkyr. In Wales the organization corre sponding to the National Workers' Committee is the Reform Committee. It aims at securing "the mines for the miners," but. as in order to this it proposes to abolish capital and prop erty, it necks to accomplish its aims by a Bolshevik revolution. The Lan arkshire Miners' Reform Committee, the most violent of all such associa tions. was founded not only by the local genius of W. G. Mainwaring. but by the efforts of our friend of Glasgow, the dreaded McManus, and by the Bolshevik counsel in Glasgow; this apj*>intee of Trotsky, John Mar lean, well earnt< his honor conferred from Pctro?rad by his efforts through out the country. Financed In Germany. The Bolshevik agitation during the war in this country was undoubtedly in part financed by Germany, as was the similar movement In Russia. It lias always been pacifist. But. be cause the war is over and Germany beaten, it does not appear to have lost strength, but counts rather on the period of industrial unrest that will accompany or follow demobiliza tion to gain its ends. Its ends are those of the I W. W. and Trotsky. Its method of warfare Is not the ma chine-gun. but the general strike, in which ali workers in industries neces eary to support the life of the nation, such as the railroads, will down tools until their demands are accepted. Be fore the war. the present leaders were s> ndicallsts. but now they glory in the term Bolshevik and their ambi tions hav?* been whetted by the ex? ample in Russia. In their philosophy there is no democracy and no parlia ment; the extinction of the upper and middle classes by the abolition of property is their creed, but. like the I. W. W . they seek not a real repub lic of th* workers, but ati oligarchy of the small "class conscious" eection of the industrial proletariat. The British workman is a sound, sensible fellow. The danger in the present situation is not that the bulk of labor will be led astray, but that a courageous, intelligent, fanatical and desperate minority, knowing exactly what it wants, will be able to lead into revolutionary paths workers who ETHICS AND RELIGION A Distinction with a Difference By DR. JAMES EL TALMAGE Of the Council of the Twelve. Church of Jesus Christ of L*tt?r-6?jr Sa.lt LAke City. Utah Note: For free copies of other articles of this series, send requast to Undoubtedly there are many people who. while of earnest Intent and practise, of worthy, honorable, and moral life, neither profess religion nor confess belief In it At least, so they would say if questioned. Closer analysis would probably show that by RKUGION these good people had un derstood CHURCH MEMBERSHIP or actual affiliation with some religious organization. And their conception is not irrational nor fundamentally wrong, though such membership or affiliation is no assurance of person al religion. I The foundation of all religion is a real belief, or. more accurately, faith. I in the existence of a Supreme Being | upon whose beneficence man is depen I dent and to whom he is accountable for his conduct. With this belief, man cannot fail to recognize the superla I tive duty of learning God's will and of I living according to His revealed word I and law | Mankind being by nature gregar I lous. and indeed unsuited to solitary existence, will congregate according to community interests, beliefs and j aspirations. In the tribal organiza- | tions of people whom we call semi- j civilized, there is generally a distinc tive religion for each tribe; even though it be but a phase of paganism: i i and their unenlightened souls are held I together by their generic conception of worship. Among larger and more advanced nations differences in re ligious conceptions are manifest, and people associate in rival sects and churches. Voluntary membership in any such body is at least a profes sion of belief in lis distinguishing tenets. But beside these there are many who aver that ethics is sufficient, and that a moral life will insure salva tion in the world to come. Granted that RELIGIOUS PROFESSION WITHOUT MORALITY IS BUT I MOCKERY AND HYPOCRISY. Nev ertheless. between the merely ethical and the really religious life, there is vital distinction. To assume that an ethical or even a strictly moral course of conduct is all-sufficient for the soul's salvation would be to repudiate Scripture, deny the essential efficacy of the Atone ment, dethrone the Christ, and elim inate God from earthly affairs. 8uch an assumption proclaims the stupen dous error that mortal man is com ' petent to save himself?on his own i terms and according to a standard established by human agency. Religion is more than a code of morals. Msn can no more be saved j by ethics than can he live by t>rr-*d j alone. The spiritual nutriment, with-1 i out which no soul can develop to the. ! exalted status of eternal life, consists ! of "EVERY WORD THAT PRO- j teedeth out of the mouth; I OF GOD."

I will wind | up with the statement that my own ! conviction is that the sound common ser*e of the British people will pre , vent any of the schemes of McManus. !

(Pearl of Great Prloe p. ?>. It is conceivable that ethics may measurably satisfy the conscience of one who reaJly believes that mortal life is the sum total of existence; thoujrh I seriously doubt that such a being exists. If he lives, he is dan gerously liable to stifle conscience, and to follow the easier though per nicious prompting to eat. drink and be merry whilst he may. takinf no thought for the morrow of eternity.

The clean minded who. however, fail to comply with tba upeclfled laws and ordinances of tba Gospel of Christ, are not to be east into the society of the spiritually filthy, neither sre they to be exalted with the valiant who have righteous ly obeyed the requirements of the Gospel.

Will War HelpMake New Race Of Super-men with Strength AND ENDURANCE LIKE ATHLETES OF OLD I By Putting More Iron Into the Blood of Modern Men and Women on Account of Their Eating Coarse Foods and Leading a Rigorous Outdoor Life? Physician Says Iron Is Absolutely Es sential to Greatest De velopment of Physical and Mental Power. Why .Nuxnlfd Iron by Helping to Supply Ihr Iron Deficiency In the ltlood Often InrrrnhfM the Strength i nnd Kndurnncf of Wrnk. Nervous, j ltiin-l)onn Folk* In Two Wffki' | Time. The men of blood nnd iron whose! indomitable force and tireless en ergy helped win the war owe much to the strength obtained by eating coarse foods and leading a rigor ous out-door life, in the opinion of I>r. George F. Raker, formerly phy sician and Surgeon, Monmouth Memorial Hospital of New Jersey. Dr. Baker believes that these same conditions on a lesser scale have been of tremendous help to the health of men and women in civil life. Tn commenting upon this, he says: "Just as lack of proper foods for its soldiers sapt the strength of a nation, so does want of sufficient iron in the blood of men and women reduce their power and make them an easy prey to the thousands of dis ease germs constantly around us and always ready to attack the con stitutions of the weak and run down. It is not the quantity of food you . eat which makes you strong, but it is the amount which is assimilated and taken up by the blood. "Iron is absolutely necessary to change food into living tissue, mus cle and brain. Refined foods and modern methods of cooking have robbed us of much of the iron which Nature intended we should receive and there is no doubt in my mind that the coarse foods of war time, with their greater percentage of strength-giving iron, have mate rially aided in building up a stronger race of people. Hut unless this iron is obtained from our food it must be supplied in some form that is easily assimilated if we want to possess power, energy and en* durance. For supplying this de ficiency and increasing the red blood corpuscles. 1 know of nothing more effective than organic iron? Nuxated Iron. From a careful ex amination of the formula and my own tests of Nuxated Iron. I feel convinced that it is a preparation which any physician can take him self or prescribe for his patients with the utmost confidence of ob taining highly beneficial and satis factory results. The fact that Nux ated Iron is today being used by over three million people annually as a tonic, strength and blood builder. is in itself an evidence of tremendous public confidence and I am convinced that if others would take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak and run-down it would help make a nation of stronger, health ier men and women." In commenting upon these condi tions and the probability of build ing up a stronger race of people by increasing- the supply of iron in their blood. Dr. Ferdinand King, New York physician and medical author, says: "I fully agree with I>r. Baker. In the most common foods of America, the starches, su gars. table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers. biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapi oca. sago. farina. determinated cornmeul. no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have re moved the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are advise readers in all cases cooked are responsible for another great iron loss. "Therefore, you should supply the iron deficiency in your food by us ing some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. I have used Nuxated Iron widely in my own practice in most severe aggra vated conditions, with unfailing re sults." Dr. James Francis Sullivan, for merly physician of Bellevue Hospi tal (Outdoor Dept.). New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, was asked for an opinion. Dr. Sul livan said: "Modern methods of cooking and the rapid pace at which people of this country live has made ?uch an alarming increase in iron deficiency in *he blood of American men and women that 1 have often marveled at the large number of people who lack iron in the blo??f ?and who never suspect the causf of their weak, nervous, rua-dowi state. But in my opinion, you can't mrke strong, sturdy men of bloo? and iron?th*' kind that helped wip the war?by feeding them on me* tallic iron. The old forms of me* tallic iron must go through a die gestive process to transform theft into organic iron?Nuxated Iron?r before they are ready to be taket op and assimilated by the humaa system. Notwithstanding all that has been said and written on this subject by well-known physicians, thousands of people still insist in dosing themselves with metallic Iron simply, I suppose, because it rosts a few cents less. I strongly s \u> 1r*t a physician's prescription for orfUW iron?Nuxated Iron?or if you don't want to go to this trouble. theA purchase only Nuxated Iron in HA original packages and see that thtS particular nam* XNuxated Iron apf pear? on the packages If you have taken preparations such as Nux and Iron and other similar iron products and failed to get results, remember that such products are an catirelj different thing from Nuxated Iron..
