MEN TURNING TO BOLSHEVISM the Constant Repetition of Word Which Seems to Convey Such a Sinister Meaning. Arficle XII By FRANK COMERFORD. I met a young American major just back from the French front. 1 had known him for many years. Before the United States entered the war he was one of the many impatient at our delay. He believed that it was our duty to join the fight when the ruth. submarine campaign torpedoed sending to cold, wet I distinctly remember his face as he read the hesdlines in the papers tell ing of the murderous slaughter of American® on the high seas, when he greeted me he startled with his first words, “The war Is over. I'm a holshevik.” 1 did not know what the word meant, yet it carried to my mind an impression, and while the im- it was clear at one particular. It sounded confession of a crime, He had always been of a quiet, vervative type. Before the war sould have judged him to be a pacifist; he was even-tempered, mild of manner, snd I still think that before August, he was a pacifist in head and in COn- one eanse, the fight for an ideal in te believed, that had made him a sol dier., In this respect he was typleal of BO per cent of his countrymen.

In every mind was the thought and from every tongue fell the word. Rus- sia had given the world a word. It had encircled the globe. Everywhere people were speaking the word-—it found lodgment in every brain, a liv- ing place in every language. Its use had become universal. The old, the young, rich and poor, the learned, the uneducated, the serious, the simple, the toiler, the artist, the poet, and the peddier, the tinker and the thinker, held the thought and spoke the word. Men, women and children spoke the word, read the word, and felt the thought it carried. To the nine hundred and ninety-nine it was a word of ill.omen, a word of terror and fear. To the one in a thou gand it was a word of hope, n light for the feet of a stumbling world, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine said that some of these people called bol gheviks were dreamers of a strange dream, that twisted idealism had made them mad, that the majority of those who profess faith In bolsheviem were eick With a strange, social fever, that they were mischiof-makers, ne'er-do wells, erimihnls, that they sought burn the world, ' conclusion thi to learn what bel- shevism is 1 might with wisdom adopt the scientific method used by the doc- tor of medicine in arriving at a di agnosis, The doctor examines and gathers the symptoms, the weaning of the disease.
