GIVE EACH MAN STAKE IN COUNTRY, URGES KANSAS EDITOR AND AUTHOR

PARIS. March 19. "Give a man a stake In his town and in his country. That Is the only sure way to keep out bolshevism." Thus spoke William Allen White, Kansas editor who is one of the two American delegates who will meet the Russian Bolsheviks on the Princes' Island, In a recent interview. Mr. White has been here for several monlhs. - "Just what do you mean by giving a man a stake in his town and coun try?" Mr. White was asked." "Make him part owner Jn his national utilities and In the public utilities of the city In which he lives. That, plus a house and a job for the laboring man and land and a market for the farmer," he answered. "Then you are advocating public ownership of utilities?" "Most emphatically," Mr White replied. The Kansas author and editor said he regarded the liberal measure of public ownership utilities in Great Britain and Germany as the T:hlef safeguard against the spread of bolshevism In those countries. , "The tendency of Great Britain, Germany, and France, too, is to very materially extend national and municipal ownership of utilities," Mr. White declared. "It will have to be so. It Is the only way the people can pay their war bills. "Why should the profits from street cars, water works, gas and electric light, undertakings, wharves and the like go to shareholders, many of whom do not even live in the cities from which they draw their incomes?" he asked. "A city has no right to tarter away those revenue- making privileges which belong to all of the people. And what Is true, of a city is true also of the nation. "The value of mineral deposits, of water fronts, of railroad and telegraph and telephone concessions is unquestioned. Why should rich men and women be permitted to grow ever richer while the poor have to pay twice over for rights which belong to the people? "Public utilities of every kind unquestionably ought to belong to the FOUNTAIN CITY MAN TO DIRECT LOAN IN WAYNE Earl Adams Clark, Publicity Expert,- Accepts ; County Chairmanship. Earl Adams Clark, of Fountain City, publicity expert and former newspaper man who has Just returned from service in France, has accepted the position of county chairman of the Victory Loan drive to take place this spring.

Clark is best known as the originator of the camp new'spapers, published by the Y. M. C. A. and other organizations in army camps all over the United States. He edited Trench and Camp, the Camp Zachary Taylor newspaper, for many months. Back in U. S. But Month Going to France with the 84th division, Clark was employed in the intelligence service in Paris and other important points for several months. He has been in the United States about a month. "Clark's enterprise in getting permission from Secretary Baker to try out his camp newspaper idea after he had been turned down in many army camps, shows exactly the personality. that the Liberty loan chairman should j have, and we believe, we have the i right man for this important place," j said a former official of the Wayne ! ! county Liberty loan committee, commenting on his appointment. Demas Coe resigned as county chairman several weeks ago. Edgar Hiatt, president of the Dickinson Trust company, said Wednesday he was well pleased with the appointment of the Fountain City man.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE people. They should be run, first of alL for the benefit of the people; that is, to give the greatest and best service to all, andHhen whatever profits remain should be applied to taxation relief and other community Interests. "Unless you do this, of course you are going to have industrial unrest. A man who " works for his living is entitled to a stake In his town. "It is all nonsense to say that cities cannot run public utilities as economically and as satisfactorily as private corporations. All they have to do is to adopt the European system of management, which is simply that of getting experts to do the jobs instead of politicians. "The same men that are employed by private corporations will do the job. as well, perhaps a little better, for municipalities. It is merely a question of a city or a country paying the same price for brains that private corporations are willing to pay. "It means a little readjustment, a little sacrifice of power and so-called prestige on the part of a certain class of politicians, that's all." X Y.M.C.A. DRIVE FOR $8,500 TO START TUESDAY Campaign for Fund to Defray Ephses-Willt be Waged Three Days. 4 The Y. M. C. A. annual budget campaign under the direction of E. M.

AMERICANS ARE ATTACKED FOR RUSS FAILURE

Policy of United States Criticized by Press Charge Bolshevik Protection. By Associated Press) , VLADIVOSTOK, March If .Never since the landing here of troops in August has there been such widespread criticism of the United States. The newspapers are full of tirades and ingenious distortions of facts cal culated to sow discord among Americans, Russians and America's allies. It is an unquestioned fact that there is a systematic campaign. Some newspapers of Siberia, it appears, have been subsidized and are distinctly hostile to the United States. The Russians, never over-confident regarding the intentions of the Americans, have been ready listeners and the legitimate Russian reprints and editorializes on the fabrications that have been put into circulation. Beginning with the disappointment intervention, the sentiment developed mistrust and an outspoken hostility, in many quarters, to the Prince's Island proposal for a conference of all Russian factions with the allies justly or otherwise, credited to President Wilson. Called Friends of Bolshevlki. Americans were instantly dubbed friends of the Bolshevik! and the idea was quickly utilized by an unfriendly press and accepted in the political circles of the Russians generally. There is no effective means here of combating this propaganda and the result is that the United States has few champions in any class or party. Reassurances by Major General William S. Graves, the military commander here, regarding America's nonpartisanship were off set in the Russian mind, which is little concerned in the fine shades of interference and non-interference by definite charges of pro-Bolshevism here and abroad, arising from the refusal of the Americans to cooperate with its military against the alleged Bolshevikl in the Amur district. The giving of asylum to the Cossacks in revolt recently was construed in a similar way. This incident, however, was the only one of a maligning character to draw fire. Col. Henry D. Styer, who has been active for the Americans in the Cossack controversy, wrote to the newspapers an explanation of the affair in which he fully outlined the stand taken by General Graves. Other diatribes have been received In silence and as a consequence the loyal friends of the United States among the - Russians are? wavering. The silence and do-nothing' policy of the 'Americans is plainly getting on the nerves of the Russians. France end England have few troops here and these are not actively engaged, but their commissioners are visiting and counciling the Omsk government with the result that they are being credited with being the best friends) of Russia. The Japanese are regarded as having rendered positive service in a military way. Only the Americans, to whom the Russians loolt for help and sympathy, are considered to have failed, not because of their failure to send more troops, a hope which has long since been abandoned, but for lack of moral and material Eupport such as other nations are giving. KOREA DECLARES INDEPENDENCE . (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 19. Advices to the state department today from Vladivostok state that the Korean national council at Nikolskee, on the Ussuri river, Siberia, has transmitted to all consulate the declaration of independence of Korea.

In August, 1914, special fortifications were erected, building demolished and trees which obstructed a clear view of the terrain about the city were cut down.

Asquth, former British premier, to become the first president of the league of nations, according to the Daily Mirror. PARIS, March 19. The military terms , of the treaty of peace have been amended, by the elimination of the clause providing for the control of Germany's armament for an indefinite period. Admiral W. S. Benson of the United States navy, pointed out that the original terms committed the United States to a virtually ' indefinite occupation of Germany ani It was chiefly on his insistence that the terms were modified. American delegates also pointed out that control of any portion of Germany would delay the return home of the American troops and would amount to the annulling' of the sovereignty of Germany. As amended, the terms provide for control through the time fixed for the delivery of materials of war, guns and ships, but not through the period during which war demands will be paid by Germany.
