?' HERE'S HOW TO BEAT 'BOLSHIES' 4 Friend of Wilson Says All Must Be Bene fited. Editor's note:?Leonid a Bls solati resigned from the late Orlando government because his convictions on Italy's aspira tions in the Adriatic were not shared by Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino. Bis solatl is the leader of the mod erate Socialists. He is an au thority on social questions, an advocate of the league of na tions and a friend of President Wilson. By LEO X ID A B1SSOLATI. Rome, Aug. 3.?The ending of the great war means the beginning of world-wide chaos. The old order is reversed. This is the day of the people, for the people have fought the war. and Lave won the war. Henceforth the plutocratic rule must cease. Lawyers, banker?, railroad presi dents, all of the money interests, must fiora now on share the re sponsibility of government with the very men whose ceaseless work has amassed their spectacular riches. In this way only can Bolshevism be averted. Parliaments of all countries must be reformed. Working men and professional men should group themselves according to their call ings tn various guilds, and each should send delegates to the House of Representatives. In this way every country shall have a real representation and a government "by the people, for the people." The workers, producers of wealth and commodities. are everywhere clamoring for a larger share in the government. There is no need whatever to fear Bolshevism. Bolshevism is a failure everywhere. It failed in Russia and in Hungary. Bolnhevism Is Extreme. Bolshevism is only an extreme, and ** such it cannot live. In Europe we find sporadic signs of it everywhere. To speak of Italy only, the official socialist party is nothing but a Bol shevist association, but Italy has 40,OCO.?jOO of citizens and only 00.000 of them are members of this association. These are real Bolshevists because their doctrine is of the purest lenin ism. However, they have no influ ence whatsoever. They have tried to extend their propaganda in the work shops and in the fields. Everywhere they have failed signally. The workingman of today wants his rights, the rights of living decently and freely: the right to educate his children; the right to have a decent dwelling; the right to have his say in the affairs of his country. He wants his share of sunshine, and therefore, he claims an ei?ht-hour working day. He wants better wages, because tne cost of living is everywhere higher. He wants peace. The working masses of today are naturally inevitably be coming a vast world-wide association of "reasonable, evolutionary* social ists." Violence I nneccwiary. By giving them a greater share in! the government of the various coun tries they will naturally come to the conclusions that violence was unnec essary. because they can obtain their rights by legal means. Bolshevism will be dead as soon as the present governing classes undertand this prob lem. It is ?>y no means true that tho in tellectual section of the population is asked to give up its rights. No. only they must have their "share" and their share only in the government of the community. They must make room for the other producers. In this way order and peace and happiness will issue from the present chaos. Little by little all public services must bo nationalized?railroads, tele graphs. telephones, steamship lines, air services, banks and the products of the mines, must be run for the benefit of the people and net for their exploitation. It is not a question as to whether a particular concern, be it railroad ] or a telephone system, pays better than under private ownership or un-1 der governmental direction. The community is not running to "make money" The community runs it for the general benefit ari comfort and, to pay a reasonable interest on the' capital invested. Whatever other profit it may yield. it should be applied to the better-1 irient of the service to its greater; 5 peed and safety and to the reduction j of its tariffs. DISTRICT BOY KILLED TRYING TO SAVE M4J0R Midst a heavy gunfire of the enemy.: Lieut. John Lyon, a former Washing toman. fell mortally wounded during the Meuse-Argonne drive last October while attempting to save the life or his major, writes Maj II. L. Opic.' of the 116th Infantry, in a letter to Lieut. Lyon's father, Mr. Frank Lyon. ?.f Lyonhurst. Alexandria County, Va , and a member of the Washington bar Maj. Opie says in his letter: "Lieut. Lyon had the guns of the platoon posted in partial shelter on my left, against counter-attack. He! saw me fall wounded, and leaving his ' gur.s. ran directly to my assistance] in the face of certain death. H<* was killed by the fire of an enemy machine gun and fell within a few feet of me." Lieut. Lyon attended the Western High School, where he was graduated in 1911. He was also an alumnus of George Washington University and the University of Virginia. He was 25 years old. Italian Press Berates Wi'son. London. Aug. S.?The Rome cor i espondent of the Daily Express re ports that the Italian presses bitter in its comments on President Wil son's prohibition of grain exports without special license. It is alleged that this order is to be used as a weapon to foree Itafy and other gram importing nations to accept the Wilson policies and it Is pointed out that the prospects of a record crop of grain in the United States make this prohibition need less.

Md.-Xo moss has ever been allowed to gather on the whip ping post of Montgomery County courthouse. Miss H. Anna Quinbv. who recently advocated the revival of the whipping post for wife-beaters at a convention in St. Louis of the National Federa tion of Professional and Business Women's Clubs, is invited to inspect the instrument at Rockville. Judge Gaither. of the Rockville court, believes in the efficiency of this mode of punishment. Rockville perhaps is the only court in the T'nited States where sentences of flogging are administered for the punishment of wife-beating. "If I sent a man to jail for beat cakoltk v* Ncg ragit ing his wife, the family would suf fer by being deprived of his support. For that Reason I sentence a man to a certain number of lashes, and the number depends upon tb#? extent of i cruelty with which the culprit treated his wife. I give them as good as they send." Miss Quinby believes that whpplng land a lot of other old punishments for the protection of women ffll into ! disuse because women had no vote, i Now that enfranchisement is near she thinks these old laws will be re- ; I vived. But has Miss Qulmby counted on i the possibility of men retalllatlng by | reviving such punishments as the ducking stool for female scolds?

GEORGETOWN BOOM PLAN BRINGS BUSINESS QUERIES Many Northern Manufacturers Interested in Facilities Offered Here, Particularly Attracted tjy Possibility of Har nessing Potomac. . Prospective business for the pro posed Merchants and Manufacturers* Association of Georgetown is piling up. Inquiries are being made by manu facturers in "the frozen north" who are seeking locations for their plants in a more temperate climate, as to the facilities afforded by the George town river front. Queries also are coming in regarding any plans that may have been made for "harness ing" the Upper Potomac with its falls and rapids, and applying this wasted power to manufacturing. As yet these inquiries are in the nature of flying ptraws, but P. T. Moran says ihey Indicate the direction of a brisk busl ines breeze In this connection. Mr.x Moran sug gested yesterday another line of nc-! tivities for the proposed commercial organization. It is to have the George town Channel dredged so that ordi nary steamboats may come to the wharves along K or Water street and unload their cargoes, as was the cus tom years ago. The rebuilding of the piers will be necessary. The bis: black steamship. K. C. Knight, which plied between Georgetown and New York ; a quarter of a century ago. could not reach her old pier now because of ? the filling of the channel with *jnd I and storm debris from the Upper Po- j tomac. "With the wonderful progress man is making in navigation, and wizard inventions such as the aeroplane and submarine, and more wonders to come," Mr. Moran said, "we George town folks Trill not forget the pa tient. plodding old canal boat mule, still a familiar figure along the tow path leading from our town to Cumberland. The mule and the craft he hauls has more than once been a boon to both Georgetown; and Wellington when the railroad? were lied up and transportation was j at a standstill. The electric power canal boat and automatic vessels for ; canals are all right, but **c still love , the ancient, long-eared reliable canal ( mule who has stood by us through j thick and thin." Included in the big business con- ; cerns located in Georgetown, and at ; the top of the list, is the Connecticut j Fie Company. This plant is situated at Wisconsin avenue and O streets, in a large and sanitary building, and its products are supplied not only to ? every scction of the District, but to j several of the near-by States. The bakery and other department* are equipped with the very latest pie making machinery. The plant was established more than twenty-five years ago by Henry Copperthite. now residing at Burkes Station. % a., and the Connecticut Pie Company organ ized.
