City Solicitor Bernard J. Myers will this

" WanhliiKton, Nov. 2.
The Bolshevik revolution In Bul
garia, the Socialist revolution in Vien
na, the threat of revolution in Hun
gary, tho Socialist republic in Bo
hemia, all point the way In which Eu
rope Is hoaded.
Czar Ferdinand's abdication in Bul
garia did not save his dynasty. His
pro-Ally son, Boris, goes to make way
for a peasants' congress, which evi
dently means that revolution In that
country is to take pattern after revo
lution In Russia.
In a similar ay Kaiser Wllhelm'a
abdication, which is surely expected,
may not save hls'dynasty. A Socialist
republic In Germany is one of the
possibilities.
And revolution In Austria and Its
former constituent parts may not stop
with Socialism, may not stop at the
Kerensky stage which it has now
reached.
Problem for Statesmen
The problem of International states
manship Is to save Europe from ut
ter disintegration following peace. The
Allied conference at Versailles Is
aware of this. If the danger of revo
lution makes Germany certain to ac
cept the terms the Allies will ask, it
also makes the Allied representatives
desirous that peace may come before
the problem of saving Europe grows
too great for any man to solve.
No one wants to see all of Europe
In the state In which Russia Is. now.
And a certain alarm la felt over steps
like those, In Vienna and Prague be
cause like tho setting up of the Ker
ensky regime In Russia they may be
only the beginning.
The spread of popular government
putting the best face possible on
what Is happening In Europe
strengthens President Wilson's hands.
He has occupied the position of the
mediator between revolution and the
existing order as exemplified by Lloyd
George, Clcmenceau and Orlando. His
is the compromise which was held out
the hope of saving Europe; of satis
fying tho demands for International
ism while maintaining the vitality of
the existing national instruments of
government. As popular government
spreads through Central Europe his
position In the coming peace confer
ence 1h Improved.
Workmen's movements In Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Germany will
awaken a response In England, Prance
and Italy. Lloyd George, Clemenceau
nnd Orlando will become more and
more Isolated and less and less repre
sentatives of the tendency of the hour.
wnue i-resmoni Wilson, tno man with
the henllng compromise, will go for
ward to leadership,
Kltantlon Foil f Danger
The danger to 'Mr. Wilson is that the
revolution wh'ch Jias started win fol
low In tho rnotsteps of the revolution In
KiiFsIa and run to wild excess. It may
loave Mr. Wilson n hopeless conserva
tive trying to sweep back the sea with
a broom,
The situation Is full of danger. Kvery.
one recognizes this. But there Is noth
ing yet to Indicate that It cannot ho
jnct snfely and order established and
mnintainea. Tno nope lies In the sta
bility of Government In this country. In
Knglantl, and in France, and In Ger
many, and in the capacity of the people
of these countries to keep their heads.
The Ttucslan revolution need never
Ijavc gone the distance it has gone had
peace come promptly In Russia, and
had the other Governments of the world
nislsted sympathetically In the main
tenance, let us say, of the Kerensky
regime.
Mail Hate Food
The problem of saving Europe will be
largely u problem of feedlno- Kurnnn mid
of reorganizing the Industries of Europe,
of providing work for the men relraaed
from war nnd keeping away famine
until next season's harvest has been1
reaped.
It Is no secret that Mr, Hoover regards
the problem of feeding Europe after
the cessation of hostilities as a problem
vastly bigger than hns been that of
feeding the Allies In the last few months
of the war.

BALDWIN'S IN RECORD OUTPUT
More Than Eight Dozen Locomo
tives Completed in Week
All records for locomotive production
n this country were broken at Baldwin's
last week.
The big plant turned out eighty-seven
engines complete, .These nr known as
'Pershing" locomotives und are for use
In France. Normally, the output of
the Baldwin works never exceeded sixty
locomotives a week.
In addition, the plant' turned out
seven gasoUne locomotive, and three
electric locomotives and performed gen
eral repairs on ten steam engines.
"Ijist week's output, It must be re
membered." says the statement of Ber
nard M, Baruch. chairman of the war
Industries board, which reveals the
achievement, "represented work done
during the period or the tnfluensa epi
demic, when labor at the plant was con
siderably disorganized."
During the next thirty days. In the
opinion of J. Rogers Ftannery, director
of railways equipment and supplies, the
rate of production will show a still
greater Increase,
It la also pointed out that the record
production was accomplished without ex
pansion of plant or plant facilities.
All the locomotives of standard gauge
manufactured for use In France are
turned out at th. Baldwin works. Under
the' government arrangements the other
two locomotive works in the country
make engines tor the United States rail

SHIPYARD WORK TIED UP
Labor Shortage Delays Buildings
at Harriman Plant
Labor shortage has tied up work on
three Important buildings of the Mer
chant Shipbuilding Corporation at Har
riman. Sub-contracts for heat, light, plumb

pital and schoolhouse have -been can
celed for this reason and new contracts
are now being sought. '
The hotel, which was to have been
completed by Christmas to house work
ers of the yard, will not be ready un
til some time In January, at the earliest.
Other work has suffered like delay. The
hotel Is to be a $600,000 structure, with
300 rooms. Only tho foundation and
the framework are now complete.
The contracts originally let provided
that union labor should be used. The
unions were unable to furnish enough
men. and an attempt was made to use
non-union workmen. Friction -led to
the abandonment of this scheme, and
the construction companies were unable
to complete the work in the time speci
