SAY BOLSHEVIK!
THREATENED BY
INTERNAL STRIFE
London, May 21.. ( Correspond encu
of The Associated Press) The Bol
shevik government of Ru,ssia is re
ported to be beset by grave internal
troubles, especially in North Russia.
Definite evidence of disaffection
among workmen In that district has
been exhibited recently by hostile
demonstrations against Jhe Soviet au
thorities, by strikes anf sabotage.
The Bolshevik financial position is
rapidly growing worse. Reports sub
mitted by Krestlnskt, commissary for
finance, for the second half of 1918.
show a deficit owlns to the fact that
the "single tax on the possessing
classes," which was estimated to yield
10,000.000,000 rubles, yielded only
'4 50.000,000 as the townspeople of the
"possessing class" were financially ex
haunted and the peasants offered
armed resistance to forced payment.
A large wing of the Menshevlk, or
moderate party has refused to adhere
to the BoUthoyik and adopted the fol
lowing program:
Opposition to Bolshevlkirule, which
Is declared to have "resulted In chaos
and the destruction of national life In
Russia."
Revival of capitalism on demo
cratic lines as being the only means
of restoring Russian Industry and
commerce wfth'the outside world.
The convening of a constituent as
sembly, to be elected by general fran
chise. Restoration of the old frontiers ol

autonomy and a federative tie uniting

EUROPEAN TRAIN
SERVICE BETTER
Paris, May 21. (Correspondence
of The Associated Press) What Is
characterized as one of the most vital
steps towards the speedy reconstruc
tion of warworn Kurope is being
taken this week In the inauguration
of the through, transcontinental train
service between Paris, Belgrade and
Bucharest via Pontarlier, Milan,
Triest, Agram and Vinkovce. This line
would under any ordinary circum
stances be a great boom to the trav
eler and to the business man. but
now, on the eve ,of the signing of
peace, it assumes an inoalcuable Im
portance to the welfare of many
countries.
The Allied capitals will now be
linked up once more by a rapid ser
vice which will permit of easy com
munications. The slow sea route can
be abandoned for the numerous gov
ernmental missions which will play
a great part in the reconstruction. In
numerous other ways the new Ike
will facilitate the process of rebuild
ing the fortunes of the Allies.
That this railway avoids Germany
and undoubtedly will take away
much of the trade of the German
railways finds no adverse crlliclsm in
Paris. The French are qCnte con
tent to see the railways of their late
enemies lie dormant for a time.
Whether the new Allied line will ul
timately become the great trade ar
tery for the continent, replacing the
German lines between the North Sea
ports and . the East, is a matter of
much discussion. There are argu
ments on both sides of the question.
Certainly Its immediate effect Is ex
pected to be to lessen the German
prospects. Whether there is any
sentiment tn trade, whloh will fluence
future developments, remains to be
seen.
The new service will provide
through trains de luxe between Paris
and Belgrade three times each week.
according to present plans. One train
a week will go through to Bucha
rest. Thus with a good train service
Between Parle and the English Chan
nel ports, England will again be
brought into close touch with her
eastern Allies.
As soon as possible the line will be
extended to Constantinople and to
Athens, but the running of trains
to these places now is Impossible
owing to the destruction of railways
during the war. It will take several
months to repair the damage. In ad
dition, rolling stock Is very scarce.
Even now it is necessary to make a
wide detour to get to Bucharest from
Belgrade.
While the transcontinental train
service will be Important for relief
wor.lt and for traders who wish to
visit the - East to re-establish com
mercial relations, it is believed that
the steamship traffic will not be ma
terially affected by the Innovation.
Goods will still continue to pass
through the Mediterranean as of old.

YANKEE SLANG
STILL PREVAILS
AMONG BOYS
Paris. May 21 (By mail) Standing
amid the glories of the royal past of
France, In the park at Versailles, an
American doughboy burst into this
apostrophe:
"Say, pal, where'd you get eats
around these diggln'e?"
American fighting men in leave
parties led by trained guides from
the Paris headquarters of the Young
Men's Christian Association War
Council may be seen everywhere in
Paris and its environs, enjoying the
monuments of the old regime and .of
the Empire In a truly American
fashion, which doee not prevent the
association of the great palace of
Louis XIV and "chow."
"ixoks like a decayed church,"
was the deliberate estimate of an
other boy in khaki as he stood be
fore the Hotel des Invalides. Then
he went Inside and become enthus
iastic over the marble railing about
the tomb of Napoleon because it
Was so "white" and hadn't a flaw.
One of them emerged from the
Invalides and grew almost poetic
about the yellow light coming
through the Blaes windows above
Napoleon's casket. Then he caught
himself, and almost blushed.
In the next breath he called the
Court: des Invalides the "souvenir
parlor of the armies of France."
When he saw Guynemer's airplane
and learned what it was, he main
tained a reverential silence of more
than a minute before he began to de
termine Its "make."
Perhaps the reactions from Ver
sailles are the most illuminating.
Halting at the Fountain of Nep
tune, a doughboy cast his eye ap
pralslngly down the vista of the
park.
"Gee." he eald, "there must be two
miles of fountains."
Best of all, apparently, the sol
diers like to. go and sit on the banks
of the Seine watching the river

COD. THOMAS TALBOT.
For many years the twenty-first
of May was "celebrated as a holiday
by the pioneers of what is now Elgin
County, Ont., Canada, the date com
memorating the founding of the set
tlement at Port Talbot on Lake Erie
in 1803. Col. Thomas Talbot, who
had , been a soldier in Canada and
Europe and private secretary to Major-General
J. Graves Simcoe, first
Lieutenant-Governor Invaded the
wilderness at Port Talbot. lie chopped
down a tree as the formal Inaugural
ceremony, and after which the men
accompanied him fell to work with a
vim to make a clearing and construct
log houses. Talbot had obtained a
large grant of land In that section
from the government, and, after see
ing the settlement fairly started, he
returned to civilization to induct fur
ther immigration.
For over a quarter of a century
he labored to carry out his coloniza
tion schemes, and Induced no less
than 40,000 people to settle in the
wild places of Upper Canada. These
pioneers, who played so large a part
In the development of the prosperous
Province of the present, lived hard
but happy and contented lives. They
fought and conquered all the wild
forces of nature. Their b,omes were
log cabins, mostly of one room with
one window. They wore rude clothing
made of the skins of animals or of
ocarse cloth spun by the women from
hemp or flax. "Furniture was made
from trees and hewed out with axes.
Often they were forced to subsist for
months on a diet of Indian corn, wild
rice, the flesh of wild animals, fish,
roots and nuts. In spite of these hard
ships ipossibly to some extent because
of thera the settlement flourished,
and privation was gradually dis
