M and ran hw paper, the Novaya
Zhun, an thoae llnaa, publiahea an
account at the temble conditions
which now prevail in hla country. "All
tfcoae who ara cofniunt of oonditiona
in tha "iiaaian vtllagea today ara ot
pit'ion that demoralisation and
diaintagration ara aweeping every
thing ho.'oro them," ho aaya. "Tha

tricta all available provisions of corn
have been conaumed, and in others
paaaanta are burying their corn, the
reault of a good harvest, so as not to
•hare It with their starving neighbor*.
"All this must lead aa it haa already
led in aome places, to every man's
hand being turned against his brother,
and to universal destrurtiMi and mur
der. Information ia constantly arriv
ing of tha diviaion of military proper
ty among aoldiers and of outrages
committed by them. Monatroua ru
mor* are in circulation about th« army
which ia returning from Aiu Minor.
It ia atated that it haa brought into
the Crimea a great number of female
alavea, and that a regular alare mar
ket ia being held at Theodoeia, the
aupply being ao great that prieee vary
noon faU from 960.00 to 175.00 to
115.00 to (20.00 per alave. Could there
be a more terrible con treat, or a more
cruel aarcaam than thla T Official aa
Kuranrea atataa that we are entering
the Kingdom of Communiam, where
complete equality ia to reign among
men, where boargeoia property ia to
he known no more, and where the
power of chattel* la non-exietent.
What ia really happening ia the trana
-fqrmation of human beings into chat
uli, pre-bourgooia property in human
beings is being restored, and the sol
diers of the Revolutionary army sre
publicly trading in iUtm. as the plan
tar* did in the time of Mr*. Buchr
Stowe.
"Yes, the progress of self-discipline
among tha masres ia taking anormoua
strides. Tha Ravolutionary army gar
rison at Sebastnpol has alraady en
tered upon tha final destruction of the
bourgeoise. They mm ply derided to
massacre all within their reach. They
rame to thia derision and then carried
it out. They flrst started with two of
the molt bourgeois atraata in Sebaa
topol and massacred all the inhab
itant*. Tlje aame waa then done, in
spite of the resistance of tha local
Soviet, in Simferopel and then in
Eupatoria. It looks aa if the same
method* of eiasa war would aoon be
applied to Greater Russia at well, for
the leader of the Anarchists, Rleich
mann, ia already carrying on an agita
tion within the Petrograd Soviet In
thia direction. In Pjtrograd itself, in
the factories, the discipline ia such
now that every day to a greater ex
tent the subordinate organs of the
Soviet and the trade unions have to
threaten deductions from wages and
even dismissal for the continual call
ing and holding of meetings."
Teacher* Against German
The Principals Club of the St. Louis
public schools has adopted resolutions
asking that the teaching of German in
all public, private and parochial
schools be suppreased and that special
schools be provided for the teaching
of English to all Germans who cannot
now apeak, read and write it. Aboli
tion of all German newspapers ia
asked.
"The members of this club have
observed that tha use of the German
language in the home, and the reading
of German newspapers has had a
tendency to retard the Americanizing
of children of German parents," aays
the resolutions.

We are fighting God's enemy—fac

The Huna of nla, at worst, were
