BOLSHEVISM
IS BURNING
ITSELF OUT
LONDON , May 6 (by Associated
Press).—“The presnt conflagration In
Russia cannot last. Without fuel, in
the form of food and supplies gener
ally, Bolshevism must burn Itself
out.”
Such is the opinion of an English
man who left Moscow February 9 and
has just reached London. /
“I find in this country,’ he said, “a
general impression that the Bolshevik
leaders are nothing but violent crim
inals and robbers. But they have
other qualifications as well, such as
organizing ability, ruthless decision
and the power to rule.
“Public opinion as to the advan
tages of Bolshevism is widely di
vergent. Those who have secured
through the revolution a comfortable
sinecure, with a monthly salary of
perhaps 1500 rubles in one of the in
numerable governmental departments
which exist in every town are not
anxious to upset the present order of
things. On the other hand, speculat
ors and peasants who, through the
misfortune of the ansiocrauc aim
bourgeois classes, have lined their
pockets, are now rather inclined to
clamor for a more stable and consti
tutional form of government wnich
would enable them to keep what they
have unjustly gained.
“As a whole, however, the people
are apathetic, and though many of
them will confide to you that they
dislike Bolshevism and desire its
downfall, yet I doubt very much if
they would be ready to give personal
assistance to any such movement.
“Lack of food is the greatest dan
ger the Bolshevijii have to face. Bread
and other commodities are becoming
scarcer every day.
“Rabid socialism is the order, and
everything is commandeered and sold
on a voucher system through a few
shops managed by the Workers' and
Red Army committees.”
The Britisher brought the first
news to London of the fact that about
forty British naval and military pris
oners of war, captured on the North
Russian front, were now in captivity
in Moscow. The officers are confined
in small cells, but the men, he said,
are permitted to move freely about
the city and may even visit British
residents. ' They are provided with
better food than other prisoners and
with warm clothing. Evidently, the
Bolsheviki, in the opinion of this
Englishman, are trying by means of
preferential treatment to win the
British prisoners over to their side.

COAST LEAGUE
ISATFRACTING
GREATCROWDS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The large crowds at
tending the games of the Pacific coast
league to date indicate to officials of
the organization that the public wel
comes the return of play after a
heavy falling off in patronage during
the war. Reports from the cities
where the opening games were held
show that new attendance records
were made at every point. In propor
tion to its population the city of Sac
ramento, Cal., showed the largest out
pouring of enthusiasts. The league’s
officials are jubilant at the showing
being made and are predicting one of
the best seasons, from all points of
view, that baseball has experienced
on the coast.
Coast baseball closed last year dur
ing July owing to lack of interest and
consequent lack of patronage. Many
followers of the games are question
ing whether or not the public is given
too much baseball in normal seasons.
Some are inclined to belive that a
shortening of the season would serve
to whet the appetite and give an in
creased attendance for a briefer
period of play.
While the brand of game served to
the public thus far has been far from
being perfect, it has been of the var
iety appealing to the crowds. There
has been plenty of batting and many
runs made which has furnished a
maximum of action.
The two new acquisitions of the
league, Portland and Seattle, made
the poorest showing during the first
week of play but the consensus of op
inion seems to be that both clubs
have the makings of a good team and
that they will bo battling for honors
with the leaders being long. Seattle
was particularly unfortunate in the
matter of pitchers, practically its en
tile staff being out of condition. Some
of the critics have classed the Port
landers as a first division team and
look for a rapid recovery of its
prestige.
The return to the double umpiring
system has given general satisfaction
and it is hoped these officials will be
able to have the games played faster
as the contestants get settled down to
their work.
Dr. Ernest deK. Leffingwell has re
cently returned from the Arctic
regions, after spending six winters
and nine summers there. He was ex
ploring and did the work entirely at
his own expense. The report of his
findings is being printed by the gov
ernment. The scene of most of the
explorations was laid in the Canning
river district, which lies between
Point Barrow and the international
boundary.
A man at Valdez is offering a bonus
of eight lots on the waterfront there
to anyone wishing to start a cannery
or manufactory on them.

You Will
Appreciate
THROUGH our Family Laundry
Service we will take your entire
washing out of the home and return
it spotlessly clean. The flat pieces,
such as bed and table linen, towels, hand
kerchiefs and the like, are immaculately
ironed. The others are starched so that
you can finish them at your leisure.
Then, too, you have the satisfaction of
knowing that your clothes are laundered
far better than you could do them.
The softest of water, the purest of soap,
gentle sousing instead of violent rubbing,
and numerous rinsings, all make for
clothes that are whiter and cleaner than
could possibly result from home methods.
And the expert finish, smooth and velvety,
will appeal to you.
Let Us Relieve You
of all your wash-day troubles. Spend time
more profitably. Just bundle your clothes
and our man will call for and return them
at a definite time each week. The cost
of this service is so low that home washing
is no longer justified.
