MEN TURNING TO BOLSHEVISM Something Profoundly Disquieting in the Constant Repetition of Word Which Seems to Convey Such a Sinister Meaning. Article XII By FRANK COMERFORD. I met a young American major just back from the French 'front. I had known him for many years. Before the United States entered the war he was one of the many impatient at our delay. He believed that it was our duty to join the fight when the ruth less submarine campaign torpedoed the Lusitania, sending to cold, wet graves American women and children. I distinctly remember his face as he read the headlines in the papers tell ing of the murderous slaughter of Americans on the hjgh seas. Now when he greeted me he startled me with his first words, "The war is over. rm a bolshevik." I did not know what the word meant, yet it carried to my mind an Impression, and while the im 9reaslon was hazy, it was clear at least in one particular. It sounded like the confession of a crime. He had always been of a quiet, con servative type. Before the war one would have judged him to be a pacifist; he was even-tempered, mild of manner, and I still think that before August. 1914, he was a pacifist in head and heart. It was only the call of a just cause, the fight for an Ideal in which he believed, that had made him a sol dier. In this respect he was typical f 90 per cent of his countrymen. I had spoken to him the day he en listed, for he was one of those who volonteered, who might have waited for elescrlption and claimed a Just exeiei ' H'j be Iras .in the beginning .oai married lite, with two very Soung dren.

Going to war meant leaving a wife and two babies, leaving a job that promised advancement I recall his enthusiasm, the Intensity of his. pat totism, his quiet disregard of the danger to bimself. I am sure that there was little hate in his mo rale. He saw a danger to the world. The honor of his country had been offended against. He was an Ameri can, one of those upon whom the duty fell, so he went. He a bolshevik I Why? I was con founded, confused. The only meaning Seave to tis semark was that he was an anarchist. The word "bolshevik" sounded red to me. It flared, of the torch, photographed disorder, lawless nesar-it registered blood, violence, as sas.lnation, force, hate, Insanity. I Wondered how this nine-lettered word had become the vehicle for so many ensatmons that disturbed peace of mind and sounded alarm. Where had the word come from and what company had it kept that so fouled its soul? What did It really mesa-had it a definite meaning? Was It a bug like the "flu" germ? Had it come among nations to destroy them and to the hearts of men to silence the heavenly message, "Peace, on earth, gPod will to men." Would it run AIround the world as a scourge? 'Was It a postscript to the bloody war les ea, pirophesylag more anguish and tears than four years' fighting had brought? Would the world, coming ot of the war bent now be broken?

The doctor examines and gathers the symptoms, the meaning of the disease. He then determines what diseases might produce these symp toms. By a process of elimination he discards one possibility after another until at last there is but one disease left. one thing that the symptoms can mean. I discovered at the outset that most of us have the habit of using terms loosely. Seldom do we give time or thought to the exact, real meaning of things. The meaning of bolshevism is too inlIortant to the world not to try to understand it. There is a differ ence between having the acquaintance of a word and knowing; the former is a mere introduction, the latter an in timacy. Since the war, when the fastidious diner wearily orders his consomme and the waiter brings it a bit tardily or cold. he thinks to himself, or if couragenus enough to speak his mind, he calls the cook a bolshevik. He has found a word to express his irritation. It serves his profane feelings and at the same time saves his smug respect ahility See Bolshevism Everywhere. Once the maid asking for 'an af ternoon off provoked a knowing smile. Her mistress granted the request, charged it up to a possible romance and generally suspected the policeman on the heat. Since the war it is differ ent. The maid is looked upon with suspicion. Her motives are questioned. The request is considered a symptom of the new terrible disease, bolshevism. The mistress thinks to herself* The maid doesn't want to work any more; she is down with the epidemic. The office boy, working the reliable excuse that his grandmother has died again, to get an afternoon off to go to the ball game, is trying to shirk work, in the opinion of his employer, who formerly, when such an appli cation was made from the same source, chuckled as he granted it, while his memory took him back to his own boy hood days when he used the grand mother yarn to answer the call of the ball field. Many captains of Industry see the symptoms of the new dread in every movement and thought of the workers. The demand for living conditions and decent wages are grudgingly received by minds soured with the thought that it is bolshevism. The hirers of child labor, looking hatefully at legislation designed to end child slavery, call the leaders of child life conservation bolshevists. . When doctors and publlc-spirited men and women insist that an irreparable in jury is being done the nation in al lowing women to work for a period in excess of the hours they are able to work without menacing their mother hood, the profiteers from woman labor cry out: "You are invading -the right of private contract; your are mad with bolshevism." Every Sort of Definition. The wag with the wit of a barber defined bolshevism as a wild idea sur rounded by whiskers. The saloon keeper, bowled over by prohibition, screams "bolshevism." The anti-sa loon leaders come back with the an swer, "Your 'personal liberty' cry is only a camouflage for bolshevism." If anyone disagrees with you, don't grant him the right to an opinion, don't reason with him-just call him a bolshevik. The word has become an epithet, a popular invective, a slur, an insult, an outlet for contempt, con tumely and hate. Its parenthood in fluences our definition of it. Most of us see the Russians with the eyes of the caricaturists, who for so many years have portrayed 'the Russian a the moujik with high boots, disheveled hair, wild whiskers, the face of an as sassin, the body of a terrorist in ac tion, 'the suggestion of a long dagger smeared with hot blood, under his greatcoat. It a doctor, making an eiamination of all of the patients in a hospital, discovered they all had certain symp toms in common, such as temperature, weakness and pain, and because of these findings should diagnose the slckness of all of the patients as pneu monia. the doctor would be regarded a lunatic, yet there are men in the world today who are as tolish as such a doctor -would be. They call every symptom ot unrest, witho.t regard to its history, bolshevism. (Capprwist. 1!. weterd Newsapser tlate) Roumanta's Oil Wells.

Poetry in ancient Greece was ac eampanied by the cithara and the lyre, while the flute was played by both men and women in furnishing -martial music to the soldiers in time of war. Musical bands marched to war with the soldiers and played on flutes, pipes and harps. The lyre and The harp were pre ferred by the Greks for private use, for it was thought they did not pre vent one from remaining master * himself, while the flute, pipe or clarl net put the man beside himself and obscured reason. There were exten sive choirs whose music was distinct ly connected with tie religious life of the people. These choirs were com posed of both men and women and were employed for public and private religious festivals. The choirs celebrated victories in war, deaths, holy days, births and marriages. Alkman, who lived as early as 650 B. C., wrote a choir song for girls which was a dramatic part song. A bluff is all right as long as you can fool people with it.

The village schoolmaster had done very well with his war saving as sociation. The scholars brought in their pennies regdlarly every week; some even had as much as a shilling to subscrlbe. One Moaday morning Mrs. Oates gate her son Tommy the sum of three pence to pay in. On his return for dinner the good lady asked to see his card. "Look here, Tommy," she said stern ly, "there's only twopence entered here! How is that?" Tommy grew pale as he saw that his sin had found him out. But the taffee in the village shop had been so tempting. However, he did his best. "Yes, mother," he stammered, "that's all th]e kk the teacher had." London Answers. Paradoxical Treatment.
