He endeavors to frighten them with epithets of pro-Germanism, to which he himself accustomed from August, to April, 1917, and when the effect of this belated and now obsolete charge is not apparent, he adopts the second line of denuncia- tion of entrenched power, and shouts Bolsheviki, a characterization with which he is quite familiar.
