WILL RECEIVE
SAME QUOTAS
Federal Reserve Districts to
Get Share As in
Former Loans
Washington, April 11. — Although
amount and terms of the victory
liberty Loan will not be announced
until next week, Secretary Glass
stated yesterday that each federal
reserve district will be assigned the
same proportionate quotas for the
Victory Loan as were given them
in the Fourth Liberty loan. Since
the amount of the Victory Loan is
expected to be in the neighborhood
of $6,000,000,000 the same as the
fourth loan, the district quotas
probably will be about comparable
with those in the drive last fall.
By districts, the percentage quotas
will be as follows:
Boston 8.33 1-3 percent: New
York 330; Philadelphia 8.33 1-3
Cleveland 10: Richmond 4.66 2-3;
Atlanta 3.2: Chicago 14.6; St. Louis
4.33 1-3; Minneapolis 3.5; Kansas
City 4.33 1-3; Dallas 2.1 and San
Francisco 6.7.
In the fourth loan every federal
reseve district oversubscribed its
quota and final subscriptions to the
loan amounted to about J6.990.000.
000.
Whatever terms are decided upon
for the victory loan, it i s certain
that one aim will be to strengthen
the market position of bonds of
past issues, some of which now are
selling more than six points below
par.

Our Hand, or Our Fist,
For Lenine?
General Foch's first thought in the face of Hungary's surrender to Lenine seems to
have been to meet the challenge with the sword, build an Allied barrier against Bolshevism
from the Baltic to the Black Sea and, in the words of General Malleterre, "finish the job by
a thunder-stroke." President Wilson and Lloyd George, on the other hand, seem to have
taken the position that military measures, however effective against the Bolshevik armies,
would prove worse than useless against Bolshevism itself, which might break out with
increased strength in the rear of an Allied military cordon.
There is much divergent opinion on the proposal to recognize Lenine, which the Wash
ington Post characterizes as "one of the most sinister developments of these strange times,"
adding that the American people "are at war with Bolshevism and will not compromise
with the enemy for any reason whatever."

'BLANQUI, WHO LED THE
WAY FOR BOLSHEVISM
The Russian Reds Have Erected a Monument to the French
Radical and Have Inscribed on It His Maxim,
"Neither God Nor Master"
The Bolshevikl have erected a mon
ument in Petrograd to Louis Auguste
Blanqui, French revolutionist and
radical. Blanqui's famous maxim,
"Neither God Nor Master," is inscrib
ed on the monument.
Louis Auguste Blanqui was a sort
of lesser Lenine of the middle of the
late century. He attempted much the
same program as Lenine has put into
effect in Russia and his social theo
ries were little different. The Paris
correspondent of the New York World
in 1879 wrote of Blanqui as follows:
"It is impossible to get along with
him without giving him all he wants,
and all he wants is simply the aboli
tion of poverty, misery, crime, in
equality. luxury and ignorance with
one stroke of the pen. A stroke of
the sword will do as well, but, what
ever the implement the operation
must be performed at one coup. You
are to take the whole framework of
society, put it into the melting pot.
pour it into a new mold, let it cool
off and you will have such a new
earth that you need not trouble your
self about any new heaven."
Wanted Millennium In a Hurry
How like the Bolshevlki plan this
sounds! The same haste to attain a
proletariat milennium immediately.
Blanqui was well bom. He was the
son of a French perfect in Nice and
a brother of Jerome Adolphe Blan
qui. one of the sanest of the French
writers on political economy. The
radical, violent views of the one and
the ordered judgment of the other
caused the brothers to clash and they
were unfriendly to the end of their
lives.
By the time he was 21 Louis
Adolphe Blanqui was ranked as a
revolutionary. When the royal
troops tired on the populace follow
ing a transient political disturbance
in Paris in 1827, Blanqui was wound
ed. He was 22 then. This incident
embittered the man and in 1830 he
was one of those who launched a
revolt against the rule of Charles X.
Under the rule of Louis Philippe.
Blanqui prosecuted a fervent conflict
against the bourgeoisc or trading
classes. He was altogether for the
proletariat.
Died Preaching Revolution
I Blanqui had his first experience
| with prisons in 1835. He was destined
to spend more than half his career
behind the shadows of the gray walls
From then on his life was merely a
succession of incarcerations with
brief spells of liberty, during which
he. vigorously preached the "red"
doctrines. For a fleeting moment in
1871. just before the Commune, he
seemed to have attained victory, for
he was one of the band that seized
the reins of power in that time of
confusion and uncertainty. It ended
as had all his other efforts, in prison.
Within less than ten years he was
pardoned and at once set about
preaching a new revolution. He was
an old man then—past 70 and sick
in mind and body. In a speech at a
revolutionary meeting in Paris in
1880 he was stricken with apoplexy
and died.
Blanqui was one of the greatest
agitators of all time. He lived under
half a dozen different governments
and was opposed to them all. He
believed in no religion and he thought
the present course of civilization was
wrong. To correct it he advanced no
other means than the eradication of
the middle and upper classes along
with their property, their customs and
their ideals. He. like Trotzky and
Lenine, would have lowered all man
kind at one sweep to the level of the
lowest group, then would have begun
rebuilding. So closely have the Rus
sian pair copied the aims and views
of his French evangel of disorder
that it is only fitting they should
erect a monument to him.
THE ULTIMATUM
She—l hear you arc engaged to an
actress.
He—Yes: but I tried to break it ofT.
She—lndeed, what were her terms?
He (sadly)— Annexation or indem
nity.—From the Edinburgh Scots
man.
MAIMED SOLDIERS
CUT DIAMONDS
Trained in School Established
by the British Govern
ment
New York —The legless soldier, that
tragedy of the war, may enable the
diamond cutting industry to stand
on two legs In England as it did In
past centuries when London was the
rival in this industry of Amcsterdam
and Antwerp.
A building capable of accommodat
ing 1,500 workers has Just been added
to the diamond cutting school for
crippled soldiers established by the
English Government at Brighton and
placed under the supervision of Ber
nard Oppenheimer of London and
South Africa. The Dcßecrs Diamond
Company, the dominant factor in the
diamond business, recently contribut
ed $12,500 to the school. Mr. Oppen
heimer, who organized the school, has
donated with the aid of his friends
$lOO,OOO to the undertaking.
Several hundred maimed soldiers
are now learning diamond cutting at
the institution and many more have
applied for admission. All the sol
diers have lost either one or both
legs. So far fifty diamonds have been
cut, one of tho stones having a value
of $3,500 and another of $7,000.
The first diamond cut and polished
at the school was presented to Mr.
Hodge, the pensions minister; the
second to Sir Arthur Pearson, the
blind millionaire philanthropist who
has been devoting himself to the
education of blinded soldiers.
Spurred on by this English experi
ment in providing maimed soldiers
with a profitable trade, the French
government has established a dia
mond cutting school in the Jura
mountains, where gem-cutting has
been practiced for centuries. An
j other school is projected for Paris,
the French minister of finance hav
ing approved the plan. Thus both
London and Paris promise to become
formidable competitors with Amster
dam and Antwerp in diamond cutting
in the next few years.

Legal Battle Comes Out of
Fateful Meeting in
Accident
Kansas City When Miss Clara
Eunice Barker's motor car wouldn't
behave and crashed into a machine
driven by Charles W. S. Munro.
wealthy forfner president of one of
New Jersey's biggest zinc corpora
tions, the accident seemed like tho
beginning of a perfectly good ro
mance. But in reality the little trick
of fate lias resulted in a legal storm
that is without parallel in the courts
of Los Angeles.
The foundation of the tangle, which
centers about Munro, was revealed
in a sensational alienation suit filed
by Mrs. Grace Munro. his wife,
against Miss Barker. She describes
Miss Barker as a vampire and as
evidence of her love making ability
offers a series of ardent letters to
Munro signed "Clara." As a sequel
to the suit Mrs. Munro had her hus
band arrested on a statutory charge,
which was answered by a bitter coun
ter-suit by Miss Barker. Now
band and wife, one separated, arc
united in a fight against the "other
woman."
It All Started In Trenton
Tho initial chapter of the compli
cation was written in Trenton, N. J.,
several years ngo. Munro, the found
er of the Trenton Smelting and He
fining Company had built up a highly
successful corporation and won for
himself a large circle of friends in
the social life of Trenton. The
Munros, who have three daughters,
built a fine home and were known
as lavish entertainers.
No cloud appeared on their horizon
until one day Munro was driving his
ear through tho business streets of
Trenton. Miss Barker was coming
from the other direction. Neither
saw the other until their machines
crashed. Miss Barker's car was badly
damaged and Munro, quick to make
amends, insisted on driving her home.
Other meetings followed and Munro
became friendly with Miss Barker.
He set her father and brother up in
business.
Known MM "Cousins" In I.on Angeles
Two years ago Munro sold his in
terest in Trenton corporation at a
price said to be one-half million dol
lars, and went to Los Angeles with
the idea of investing there. Miss
Barker followed him, and for some
time she and Munro were known
among Los Angeles friends as cou- -
sins. In the meantime Munro made
investments in Los Angeles real
estate.
It was not until Mrs. Munro arrived
in Los Angeles that Munro's ac
quaintances there realized the trou
ble that was brewing. Mrs. Munro's
alienation suit was the first move.
Finding Miss Barker had gone tem
porarily to Salt Lake,-Mrs. Munro
went there and filed the same suit in
the Utah court.
"I am going to punish this woman
who for five years controlled my hus
band's life," she says. "A wife's
claim in the end, will prove stronger
than that of the 'other woman'."
Lloyd George Hopes
to Return to London
From Paris Tuesday
London, April 11.—Premier Lloyd
George hopes to return to London
from Paris next Tuesday and to make
a statement regarding the peace con
ference in the House of Commons on
Wednesday. This announcement was
made in the House by Edward Shortt,
home secretary.
RAZE A FAMOUS ALMSHOUSE
Busy, materialistic Philadelphia in'
its growing lias crowded out of ex
istence one of the most sweetly ro
mantic places in the. literary history
of the United States—the old alms- i
house where Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow's Evangeline found her
lost sweetheart, for whom she had
searched tho country over. The
beautiful story of the parted lovers
lias been generally accepted as true,
and there are some persons who re
member just the location of the haven
of poverty where Evangeline, as a
Sister of Mercy, discovered her Gab
riel, where he had sought seclusion
to await death.
Tho site of the old almshouse is in
lower Spruce street, and. when Long
fellow published his poem, in 1847,
already had been replaced by com
mercial structures. There was anoth
er "poorhouse," east of the authentic
one described by the poet, which some
writers say often was mistaken for
the one where Gabriel died in Evan
geline's arms. The residents were
not really paupers. They lived in
comfort, surrounded by beautiful
gardens. It is said that they were
not averse to encouraging the inno
cent .tourists in the belief that he was
gazing upon the scene of the story.
Often some little old man or woman
would step forward and verify it all.
even offering the visitor a sprig of
rosemary from the very garden
wherein Evangeline had walked—and
pocket the tip with a clear conscience.
And now commerce has blotted out
this quaint landmark, also.—From the
Detroit News.
MARK TWAIN'S 'INVESTMENTS'
Mark Twain, successful as an au
thor, lecturer and humorist, had little
genius for business and never hesi
tated to ridicule himself in that ca
pacity. He had a mania for risky in
vestments and ventures of all sorts,
which always turned out to be fail
ures, and when a really good thing
came along he was apt to spurn it
with contempt. Referring in his
diary to the offer of some telephone
stock, he wrote:
"I declined, I didn't want anything
more to do with wild-cat speculation.
Then Bell offered the stock to me at
25. I said I didn't want it at any
price. He became eager; insisted
that I take $5OO worth. He said he
would sell me as much as I wanted
for $500; offered to let me gather
it up in my hands and measure it
in a plug hat; said I could have a
whole hatful for $5OO. But I was
a burnt child, and I resisted all these
temptations—resisted them easily
and next day went off and lent $5OO
on an unindorsed note to a friend
who went bankrupt three days la
i ter."
It was only a few months later
that a Bell telephone was installed
in his own home! —Boston Tran
script.

WALKING LOST
ART IN LONDON
Tube Strike Demonstrated
Thousands Did Not Know
Way Home
London. Correspondence of the
Associated Press.—There is a legend
in the United States that Englshmen
are great walkers. If they are, the
recent tube strike showed they don't
walk in London. When this strike
forced Londoners to walk they didn't
even know the way home. Police
men were amazed. One big "bobby,"
who keeps the traffic straight at the
foot of Ludgate Hill, declared that
"city" business men had kept him
busy telling them how to get to
some of the best-known localities
in London the first day of the strike.
"It's past belief," ho commented
with some Indignation, "that a man
can ride on a bus for years between
his home and his office and still not
know the way when he has to foot
it."
While the strike lasted great
queues formed at the bus stops.
There was one at Hammersmith es
timated to bo nearly a mile long.
Men, women and children struggled
desperately to ride. Some of the
women carried babies. Many of the
men were crippled soldiers in hos
pital blue. Some of the children
were pale little girls, faint from
weariness.
As the-tubc strike was coincident
with a strike of waiters and kitchen
staffs, thousands of hotel residents
hud to do their walking hungry.
Overseas men, home for demobili
zation, emerging from railway sta
tions with their heavy kits dis
covered they would have to walk to
the other side of London.
"London is certainly mean to me,"
said an American soldier cheerfully.
"Last time I visited here on leave
there was a bus strike. Time before
that the taxis had quit."
British Tommies during the tube
strike stopped a royal air force
lorry, throwing their kits into it
while they bargained with the driver
to take them to their destination.
Many West End business houses
put their motor delivery vans at the
disposal of home-going women and
aged men employes. In the huge
and endless processions of pedes
trians homeward bound of an even

note the large number of old people
