FEEL THE BOOT;
CORE FOLLOWS
VLADIVOSTOCK.—The Ameri
'ean method of “applying the boot” ^
' by a muscular attache of the Stev-:
; cn’s Railway commission recently:
put an end to Bolshevist agitation;
among refugee charges of the \
American Red Cross in Yladr/os-!
tok, as related by Lieutenant M. R. '
Hall, chief of the local relief or- j
jgamzation.
| Among the five hundred men,!
j women and children wl\ are being:
; cured for in a remodeled soldiers’
j barracks in the outskirts of Vladi- J
i vostok, there being fifteen who
would not work.
The physician in control of the1
; barracks, a Russian, complained to I
j Lieutenant Hall that this coterie
■ of young fellows was preaching Bol
I s :evism to tin others and urging
them to defy the authority of
those upon whom they were de-1
j pendent on thw grounds that the
business of the Red Cross was to!
look after them and that there was
no need for them to work. The
doctor was threatened with death
if he interfered with their pro-1
gram.
Things oamc to such a pass that
Lieutenant Hall asked for assist- ]
| ance and Lieutenant Brunner vol-!
| unteered to take on the business j
I of disciplining the disturbers. After!
! i
I dinner one evening Lieutenants j
I Hall and Brunner and an inter
i preter, George Fainstone, made an
j unexpected visit to the barracks.
The inmates were all lined up and
the doctor designated as ring
leaders of the Bolshevik element a 1
half dozen young and middle aged |
men. Lieutenant Brunner, who is
a big man with a business-like air,
threw off his coat and invited the
Bolsheviks to take a good look at
him and listen carefully to what he
had to say.
Most of the “slackers” after]
hearing Brunner’s harangue, which
dealt with the general proposition
of “no work no keep" and with de
tails of certain physical discom
forts to be expected by any ob
streperous ones, elected to become
industrious. Two young fire-eaters
attempted to parley. Brunner seiz
ed one of them by the coat lapels
and shook him until his teeth chat
tered, stopping at intervals long
enough for the interpreter to trans
late as near as possible into Rus
sian some forcible English.
Then, in the words of Lieutenant
I Hall, Brunner “put his foot behind
(him and out he went.” The other
I “brave" asked for time to consult
] his wife and in five minutes re
turned to announce that he would do
anything required of him. He was
assigned to scrubbing the stairs.
Another disturber whose prac
tice was to come in late and get
out early so as to avoid meeting
those in authority, put in an ap
pearance as Hall and Brunner were
about to depart. His record was
well known to them and no time
was wasted in giving him a stout
leather impetus outward.
The following morning when
| Lieutenant Brunner reached the
J barracks, so Lieutenant Hall says,
i he was embarrassed by the numer
|ous applications for tasks by the
erstwhile agitators.

SOUTH AFRICA IS
10 RAVE CHANGE
LONDON.—In the future history
of South Africa, the Botha govern
ment may be the longest rememb
ered as the author of the “Natives’
Land Act.” The measure is the
greatest experiment that has ever
been made in the administration of
a mixed people.
The Land Act Commission ap
pointed to review the division of
land under the act between natives
and whites, decided that the whites
have been given an undue share.
The native population of the coun
try is about 3,500,000. The lands
set apart for natives under the
act amounted to 40,000,000 acres
out of 300,000,000. All the re
mainder was alotted to a white
population of less than 1,500,000.
As the object of the act was to
provide for the development of the
native peoples under suitable con
ditions. the commission has decided
that the natives must have a larger
share.
It now remains for the Soutr.
African parliament to confirm the
decision, after which various other
reforms will be put into effect,
among them the creation of nativ '
councils, the substitution of a sys
