SHE BRINGS CHEER, AND CHEER WINS WARS” fa THEATRES << THE Cynthia Grey’s LETTERS ROMGLNESOGROCOAT AM SOCENAAAGOUG ELD It's Not So Easy to Find Answers Dear Mise Grey: I have written to you three times in the past week asking you if the kaiser is a Cath olic; but you have not seen fit to newer, If you will not answer my question, will you tell mo why? CLARENCE Have a little patience, lad Some things are much easier said than done, and from past experiences with people lke you, I should say that conducting an information department is one of them. Before I answer your question, T am going to nay a few things for your benefit, and for the benefit of a number of others like you. In the first place, questions come in much faster than they can be answered, and because of lack of space, it would utterly impossible to ‘answer all of them. Consequently there Is | always a number of letters ahead. In the mecond place, many of these letters require much re-. | search work. Sometimes I spend three or four weeks in an effort to obtain an answer. Now for your answer: The kaiser is not a Catholic in name, | altho he has been extremely par tial to the papacy, This can be very well illustrated by the man ner tn which he disposed of Bis marck’s Kulturkampf, thru con cessions which he has turned to profit by making implicit alll- ance of the Vatican and the Ger man schools in bis antirevolu tionary policies. Meaning of Bolsheviki Dear Miss Grey: country there is a slight misunder to Russian Explains | | I believe in this) standing in regard to the word “Bol sheviki.” The word “bolshinstvo,’ in the | Russian language, means majority The word “boisheviki"” is compar tive degree. Bolwheviki, as popular ly known In the United States, is re-| ferred to a political party. But it is} not. It is the left wing of a social democratic party (labor party), but not majority of Russia or of said party. | Ten or eleven years ago the social | democratic party of Russia held a} convention. There were two leaders, Lenine and Flekhanoff. Members of said convention divided the party, Fleckhanoff gaining the majority.| Lenine and one other member of the| convention wanted to make the pro-| gram more progressive. They called) themselves Bolsheviki. Flekhanoff, | with his majority, did not want to go as rapidly as Lenine, so they called themselves Mensheviki The circumstances are identically parallel with those in this country when Mr. Roosevelt started the pro- gressive party. He was the Bolshe- viki of said party, but not the ma- Jority. V. KORESHKOV FREE DOCTOR Kiu-Geverament Phyntcion 1311 FIRST AVE. or 169 WASHINGTON ST. RIGHT DRUG CO.
