BREAKS AFRESH
STOCKHOLM, Deo. 23.—Civil
strife breaks out afresh it. is re
ported following the efforts of the
Bolsheviki to withdraw four army
corps from the eastern front where
they have remainv 1 pending the
negotiations with Germany for a
separate peace.
It appears that the soldier:, were
willing enough for the armistice
and for the truce looking to a
peaceful understanding with the
Teuton force but they were unwill
ing to abandon tneir pu.vt'nns un
til suc h time as Oermanv she lid
agree to ‘lie Bolsheciui conditions
or had given same guarantee that
ithc war would bo concluded.
The troops have suddenly become
anti-Bolsheviki as a result o'' the
efforts to compel them to leave
their posts.
It is now believed that tne end
of the Lcnine and Trotsky regime
may be momentarily expected as the
Caucasus troops have demanded as
a condition of their allegiance
that the Bolsheviki surrender its
power to the Constituent Assembly.

Eleven coal miners were instantly
ly killed this morning in an explo

Catousa.
The mouth of the mine is in the

The National Red Cross Committee
have received reports from various

The campaign is for ten million
members and this report puts Al

distancing all other sections of the
United States. In many exceeding

I stood on the bank of a swiftly running river whose turg
id bosom was white with the broken bodies of men, women and
children:—the industrial derelict, crippled, aged and shrivelled
with toil; the white slave, early old and robbed of beauty; the
factory child with hollow socketed eyeballs and shrunken belly.
Many were dead, some were dying and others there were, not
yet despairing, but from whose li|>s there came an anguished
cry.
I reached into the waters and saved many, and back of
me I heard the pulpit and the press of the unjust man ac
claiming loudly that I was a philantropist and a redeemer of
men. And I was pleased with his fulsome plaudit, not seeing
that those I saved passed by the unjust man and came down
again to choke my torrent of of sorrows.
And so it came that men called my name blessed, but the
nitinher of the miserable ever grew, when a loud voice rudely
broke upon the satisfied tenor of my consciousness, saying,
"l.ook above you. (io forth to the source of this wretched
river to where the unjust man has his great machines.” in
great haste I went as the voice had spoken, and I said to the
unjust man .tin) his wolfish mercenaries, “You shall not longer
cr grind the laughing-eyed innocents into your fearful mills
nor shall you starve them when the pearly breasts of earth
swell and pain with abundant suck for them all, and you, sir
shall not feed the beautiful maidens into the scarlet maw of
vice; and you shall no longer bruise and beat and break and
ami kill the bodies of those who do the useful and the beauti
ttiI work of the world.”
