MUNITIONS FOR
BOLSHEVIKI
AMORT
BERNE, March 10 (by mail).—The
armies under the command of the Bol
shevik government in Russia comprise
approximately 800,000 men, but only
about 250,000 of them are actual com
batants, according to information re
ceived here from sources usually con
sidered reliable.
These forces are divided into fifteen
armies of 17,000 combatants each.
Twelve of them are described as com
pletely organized. Each army con
sists of two or three divisions and
each division of two, three or four
regiments. The number of officers
and men in each regiment varies from
from a few hundred to two thousand.
The First army is under command
of General Michael Touhatchevski,
who, until the Bolshevik revolution
took place, was a simple lieutenant in
an infantry regiment.' His military
education is far from complete, but
his general staff is composed entirely
of officers who formerly belonged to
the Russian general staff, so that they
compensate for the deficiencies of
their commander-in-chief.
The Second army is headed by a
w-ell organized general staff which in
cltdes three colonels who formerly
belonged to the Russian general staff.
The commander-in-chief of the Third
army is an individual who, up to the
time of the Bolshevik revolution, was
a sergeant in one of the regiments of
Siberian infantry. He also is support
ed by a general staff composed of
former Russian staff officers.
The fact that so many officers of the
former Russian army have consented
to serve with the Bolsheviki is one of
the worst features of the situation in
Russia. Without them the Bolsheviki
would have been unable to organize
such military forces as are now at
their disposal, and their dictatorship,
based solely on violence, would have
ended long ago.
The artillery equipment of the Bol
shevik armies is declared to be very
incomplete. A division, on an aver
afe, from five to eight guns. Muni
tions are said to be scarce and their
--- . ■ Mr ...
supply is deficient. Munitions for the
infantry also are running short.
The chief of the central general
staff of the Bolshevik forces is a Lett
named Watsetia.
MEXICAN PEONS ASSIST
IN CAPTURE OF BANDITS
DURANGO, Mexico, April 11 (by As
sociated Press).—The poor peons of
Durango state have turned against the
bandits who operate in the isolated
mountain districts of this state. As
long as the poor ranchers and cattle
men were friendly to the roving bands
it was almost Impossible to trail them
with government troops. But these
brigands recently have been robbing
the poor and the latter have been fur
nishing accurate information to the
government of the whereabouts of the
armed bands. In the pfest these peo
ple have acted as spies for the bandits,
advising them when ti*>ops were near.
As a result of the information fur
nished the government’s officers,
twelve bandits were captured recently
and shot.
These bandits have been operating
along the railroad between Durango
city and Tepehuanes. They hold up
trains, kill the small escorts or train
guard, rob everyone on the train of
their valuables, clothing, shoes and
even underwear and haul away the
loot to the hills after setting fire to
the train. Should the train consist of
freight and passenger cars the bandits
have carts to haul away the merchan
dise, which is cached in the moun
tains or sold to buy smuggled ammu
nition.

LONDON, March 7 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—A revolu
tion in the British transportation sys
tem is predicted if the proposed min
istry of ways and communications is {
created. It is hailed by Socialists as
the passing of the country into the do
main of public service. On the same
ground it is bitterly attacked by oth
ers.
Another element opposes it with the (
argument that “the effect of the bill
will be to put our roads under the
control of the railway n^agnatese, who
will ruin the roads in their own in
terests just as they ruined the canals.”
Sir Eric Geddes, minister without
portfolio, who introduced the measure
in the house of commons, will head
the new ministry if the bill is passed.
It is proposed that the minister of i
ways and communications shall take
in hand not only the railways and the
roads, tramways, canals and navigable
waterways, harbors and docks, but
also motor cars and aircraft. It is
understood that eventually the postal,
telephone and telegraph service will *
be concentrated in the same ministry.
Under the bill the new ministry is
charged, using all available technical
experts, to reorganize the whole rail
way system as a united public service
of transport, and to develop its con- (
nections with ocean ports and fishing
harbors and with subsidiary canals,
city tramways and motor lorries on
country roads.
One of the first tasks of the ministry
will he the erection of super-power
stations for the generation of elec- <
tricity. These are required not only
to reduce the price of electricity for
lighting, but also for the supply of
cheap power for industrial concerns,
and perhaps for the gradual electrifi
cation of a large part of the railway
system.
