Although the common council has wuthorized the board of police com- missioners to secure figures on the :osts of constructing a hose tower .or No. 6 fire station, later develop- ments indicate that no such structure vill be raised.

In addition, the Kensing- ton avenue station house is not cons structed in a manner that will lend wtself to the addition of a tower with- out great expense, it is believed.

VAL AND FAMI SCHRBACKER RmEmEL 8 8§ 'COUNT PAUL TELEKI ASSAILS BOLSHEVISM (Continued from First Page). “The ecssence of the reforms prom- ised by the Bolshevists lay in the promise of higsh wages and little work. But since production broke down most completely there was hardly any work to speak of. Since, furthermore, the difference in wages paid for work was slightly higher than the wages paid to the unem- ploved, Budapest soon became a town of loafers. “From this point of view of the working class the Bolshevist leaders seem to have made a fatal blunder by separating this class from the body of the nation as a whole and by es- tablishiag a class government bound to ‘create a reaction at the very time when unmistakable consequences of the war and the general trend of events seemed to- assure the workers of a gradual recognition ot their legi- timate wishes by means of peaceful and legal revolution. “Yet violence was the method of procedure followed in bringing about the new millenium of the proletariat. Terror indeed was the only force Bol- shevism on a country where three- fourths of the population derived their living from agriculture and where in spite of socialist agitation of many years the respect for private property had no where cast as deep roots as among the farming elements. “And vet, it is not a remarkable fact that Bolshevism should have broken out only in agricultural coun- tries. This, more than anything, seems to indicate that Bolshevism is a foreign product, transplanted by a determined and unscrupulous minor- ity against the wishes of the majority of the population. Bolshevism indeed is the most flagrant undemocratic, if not anti-democratic symptom of our ages “Bolshevism - ultimately collapsed owing to its inability to organize pro- duction. When Bolshevism was beat- en down, T must tell you that in truth the cause was neither the Rumanian army nor the anti-Bolshevik army. It was the passive dogged resistence of the Hungarian peasant farmer who broke down Bolshevism. He would not give the Bolshevists food. Of course this passive resistence was in- terwoven with local counter revolu- hich were always beaten down joodshed. and very many peas- ant farmers were hanged But at last they had beaten down Bolshe- vism, “When Bolshévism broke: down there came of course a reaction.. A reaction need not be something mad. The word sounds undemocratic, but I do not know of anything so undem- ocratic as Bolshevism. The reaction against Bolshevism is democracy. ~ NEW DUMPING GROUKDS Health Superintendent Secures Two More Lots—New Ruling on Glen Street Site. Dr. R. M.
