SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1920 - - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER . PAGE SEVEN “RED” MENACE MOVING EAST Whole World in Grave Danger Through Advancing Tide of Bolshevism. NOW FLUSHED WITH VIETORY Practically All of Asia Is Open to the Propaganda, and Result May Be ' Bloodiest Chapter in World’s History. Washington.—The danger to the world from bolshevism was never greater than at the present moment. The collapse of the Russian national forces under General Kolchak in Si- beria and the retreat of General Deni- kine’s army from the Moscow front are regarded in every capital in Eu- rope and in Washington as constitut- ing a threat of a possible invasion of Burope, a certain penetration by the bolsheviki in Asia and a menace to the peace of the entire world. Even Prince Michael Cantacuzene, husband of a granddaughter of Presi- dent Grant, who has Jjust arrived in the United States, while hopeful that the Russlan natiogal forces may still save themselves, confesses that their plight is desperate unless allied aid reaches them. “They have no shoes, no clothes, very little ammunition and very little food. If the allies wish to stop the spread of bdlshevism through- out the world they must come to the rescue of Kolchak #nd Denikine.” This is the belief of a man who_is fresh from Siberia and.who is optimis- tic enough to advance the opinion that if bolshevism can be kept isolated in Russia it will wear itself out by its own excesses, On the High Tide of Victory. The word “if” makes all the differ- ence in the world. But the fact is that bolshevism is now riding on the high tide of victory and there does not seem one chance in a million that it will be confined to Russia. Nearly all of Asia is now open to its propaganda. The defeat of the forces of General Deni- kine opens the door between Moscow and the Black sea. The connecting military link between the former Kol- chak and Denikine lines has been ob- literated and nothing remains to pre- vent the agents of the bolshevists from moving toward Armenia, Persia, Af- ghanistan and India. Agents of the Russian reds have already stirred up considerable trouble among the hill tribes op the northern confines of India and British troops are now engaged in suppressing uprisings. As for Siberia, the red pmpagandn [N moving eastward rapidly. It has become so serious n menace to China snd Japan that the government of Japan is mklu steps . to,;hflt the Q; vance of the reds.before jit. reaches the very threshold of Mn)ehurin and the tand empire Hu!f Among the ignorart mnm both ofl China and India there in: great oppors tenity for the bolshevfl:& to spregd their doctrines, and if thm countries embrace the propngnndq. the seguq! will be written in the bloodiest chap- ter In history. But it is not against Asia merely that the bolshevists are plotting. An invasion of Burope is among their plans. All recent developments indi- cate that it is the program of the reds to bring milltary pressure to bear against the Baltic provinces, Poland and the new natfons which the Ver- sailles conference has been erecting in central Europe and that the soviet . military machine will this year be hurled against that front. No Peace With Bolshevism. It is idle, nay, it is criminal to talk of peace while bolshevism remains in Russia, ever threatening to spread its sccursed cult throughout the world. Freaties of peace may be drawn up at Versallles and signed at Paris, as the treaty with Germany was the other day, but such treaties have no more offect on bolshevism than the passing of a sedition bill by the senate. Bol- shevism must be suppressed if the world is to know peace. And bolshe- vism must be ended if the world is not to become bolshevik. Between It and the principles of government in other lands there is an irrepressible conflict and one or other of these op- posing forces must perish. A few years ago in the United States eommunism was regarded as a “joke.” Is it a “joke” today? Two years ago bolshevism in Russia was regarded as a passing mania. But it has not passed. It is in Russia still and it threatens to overflow its confines and plunge the world into another bath of blood. Thieves Took Big Chances. Baltimore, Md.—Taking chances of heing dashed to death, a pair of dar- fng hotel robbers used a narrow ledge outside the Hotel Emerson to enter the fourteentn floor rooms of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Stutz of Washing- ton. They filled a sultcase with fine dresses and lingerie owned by Mrs, Stutz and valued at $600 and escaped, carrying the plunder by the same dan- gerous route, a single slip upon which would have heen certain death.

GET PUBLICITY ON CALENDAR That Form of Advertising Is the Most Popular Wijth the Merchants of China. It has been known for a long time what a relative task it was to go visit- ing in China—that is, if you happened to be a lofty dignitary and must there- fore carry along a card of uncomfort- able dimensions. Advertising, it seems, shows a corresponding divergence not only from occidental methods, but from those of nearby Japan. There are thousands upon thousands of newspapers in China, but they are not very firmly established, and when they do not soon disappear altogether, they are almost sure to change name frequently, as has been known to hap- pen with .certain Americdin products. Newspapers of the republic have an average daily circulation of 3,000, the papers are carefully passed from band to hand. There is, then. to be sure, newspape® advertising as well as posters. But the most popular form of publicity for merchants is—the cal- endar! Nowhere is that humble do- mestic article more important than in China. Advertisements here placed are looked upon every day. And after all, when you look at the calendars that begin to arrive about this time of the vear, isn't it possible to imagine that China ig not so far from the West as it might be?—Christian Science Moni tor, TO OPERATE AIRSHIP FLEET Ambitious Plans Credited to English Company Well Within the Realm i of Possibility. A company has been formed in Eng- land for the putpose of operating a fleet of airships to various parts of the world, The syndicate desires to ac- quire ground near Southport, where it proposes to erect a tower 120 to 130 feet. high to which airships wmay be moored, and an elevator will take the passengers up the tower and into the gondolas of the ships. The syndicate intends to have a fleet of non-rigld airships in commission next spring; the smaller will carry 32 passengers and crew and the largér 40 passengers a.pd crew, The company also antics ipates running rigid afrships now in course of con- struction. These will have -a carrying capacity of 150 passengers and: be able to travel to any part of the globe. It is proposed to use the swaller nen- rigid airships.to feed the larger ones and meet them at the principal cen- ters, The cost per mile is put at about half the cost of a taxicab fare today, approximately about 18 cents per mile. —Scientific American.

Mosquitoes are only one of the many excellent reasons why birds should be fed during the winter. The others are all the other insects which hamper the production of the garden, and all pleasures of song and plumage.—St. .Loseph Gazette. North Dakota’s Lignite. A government report says ‘“the fuel problem has been forever solved in North Dakota.” The western half of the state is underlaid with lignite, the beds estimated to contain 600,000,000,- 000 tons. Over thousands of square miles this soft coal lies so close to the surface that farmers merely dig a hole in their own fields and take out the coal as they require it. During 1918 1,000,000,000 tons were mined. If the farmer is too busy with his farm work to help himself, he can buy it for $1.50 or $2 per ton. Many of the large grain elevators are operated by power furnished by coal that is mined on the spot, and this general economy in fuel has alded materially in in- creasing the per capita wealth, Captain of Industry at Three.
