LONDON'.—Russian workmen and
peasants are by no means united
in a movement to perpetuate a
dictatorship of the proletariat, ac
cording to a traveler who recently
arrived here from Russia. Pretense
that such is the situation in Russia
is ond of the efforts of the Bol
shevik propagandists.
For many months, he says, the
Moscow government has been almost
wholly without peasant support for
the peasants have learned that Bol
shevism in theory and Bolshevism in
practice are as unlike as day and
night. The people of the Russian
villages and country districts are de
clared to be so bitter against the
Bolsheviki that workmen who are
forced to return to their native
village for food dare not voice Bol
shevik doctrine for fear of being
killed by their relatives or former
friends.
To the countrymen in Russia.
Bolshevism now means nothing but
food requisitions. To him Bolshe
vik is an outsider, armed with a
rifle, who takes grain at prices far
below the market price.
The peasant's ear is no longer
open to Maximalist theories. He
cares nothing for skilful Maximalist
arguments setting forth beautiful
social and economic doctrines. He
has tried Bolshevism for a year. He
has had much of his grain and
other foodstuffs wrested from him
by Bolshevik grain crusaders. He
knows that the only remaining peas
ant Bolsheviski are shiftless ne'er
do-wells and will have nothing to
do with them.
As the peasants make up 85 per
cent of Russia’s population their at
titude eventually may shape Russian
policy, says the informant. They
control food production and bread
I is the basis of tile present struggle.
, From its inception the Bolshevik
government depended upon traveling
; commissars who were shipped all
over the republic in special truins
' and provided with armed forces
which clubbed city and village gov
ernments into line. When commis
sars fell under local influence and
became less drastic in their methods
, the Bolshevik authorities at Smolny
Institute withdrew them and sent
!
others who would be more brutal
in their methods.
j These methods worked for a time
but decreased in effectivness in di
rect proprotion to the distance from
Moscow. When the disbanded army
returned to the villages carrying
arms and ammuntion. the peasants
. began to initiate Bolshevik methods.
They resisted with machine guns and
inaugurated the movement which has
! limited soviet jurisdiction to less
I than one-tenth of the old Russian
; empire.
Homer Wiekberg, a late arrival at
i Anchorage from Flat, died at the
I hospital in the Cook Inlet city re
j cently from influenza. He was a
: strong- robust man, but fell a vie
. tim to the epidemic.

Genarel Headquarters, American
Expeditionary Force, Chaumont,
France—In such spare time as their
duties permit many of the officers
;>f the American Headquarters Staff
have studied the interesting histori
cal relics of this little city, which
is the headquarters of the American
fighting forces. While not so old
as some of its neighboring towns,
nevertheless Chaumont is a fertile
field of investigation.
It was once the seat and strong
hold of the Counts of Champagne.
On the edge of a tree-clad precipice
that commands a widesweep of field
and forest still stands the large
Tour Hautefeuille, a relic of the
castle of the Counts of Champagne.
A massive square structure of mas
onry, liehened and gray with age,
it now forms one angle of the more
modern Calais de Justice and is in
such good condition that it is hard
to realize it dates from the 11th
century. Below it are the cells
ol' the courthouse, and around its
base is a quaint walled garden
shaded by ancient trees. This was
once the castle garden, and from a
deep ravine a stairway tunneled
front tile rock leads to the old
towel.
Many of Chaumont's houses date
to the Twelfth century, hut next to
tower Hautefeuille in interest is the
Church of St. Jean. Crowded in
between buildings on all sides, this
beautiful old edifice shows to less
advantage than many newer churches
and cathedrals but few of them hold
more of interest. It dates from the
C’th, Kith and ltlth centuries and
retains exquisite monuments of each
period.
The beautiful double porch of the
south portal is well known to archi
tects and its flamboyant (iotilis is in
strong contrast1 to the severe Renais
sance style of the west portal. The
interior ornamentation is rich and
varied: the triforium in the transept
being embellished with an exquisite
cornice supported on corbels. The.
church also holds a painting of
St. Alexis ascribed to Andrea del
Sarto. A chapel in the north aisle

ing; from 14(i0.
The pulpit and stalls are the work
of Bouchardon, father of the famous
sculptor who was a native of Chau
mont, having' been born here in
1698.
But Chaumon’t place in later his
tory probably rests on the fact that
here was signed the famous treaty
of 1814 by which the Allied sove
reigns pledged themselves to re
duce France to the limits of 1789.
In an ancient building in the Hue
Bouchardon, once a convent, but
now the residence of a wealthy citi
zen, and ^"or the present loaned as
the official American “guesthouse”
and officers’ club, there is a stained
glass window eommenorating the
signing of the treaty. It is claimed
that the historic event took place
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
in this buildinjjr.
Chaumont was the birthplace and
home of Phillipe Lebon, the pioneer
of jras li^htin^ in France, and near
the railway station is a bronze
statue of him by Pechinet. Lebon
was born in 17(57.
