THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-T

BOLSHEVISM GHASTLY

TAILUnCf OA 10 niAIlf R. G. COMMISSIONER

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 14. Bolshevism, as exemplified by the Russian soviet government is characterized as a "ghastly" failure," by Colonel Edward W. Ryan, Red Cross commissioner for north Russia and the Baltic states. Colonel Ryan, after an ' extended trip through the soviet domain as a private citizen with the Esthonian peace delegation, has returned recently to the United States bringing the first direct information of conditions there given to the American public in more than a year. His account of what he saw is contained in a report forwarded to the State department. Without outside aid, Russia would be a chaos in six months, Colonel Ryan believed. Raw materials are not to be found in any of the centers, he said, and the people as a whole seemed to devote its whole time to the one supreme object of getting sufficient nourishment to fend off actual starvation. Officials of the government, according to Ryan, admitted that the transportation problem alone would result in the overthrow of the present regime. Indescribably Fifthy. Streets of Mobcow and Petrograd were described as "indescribably filthy," being at least ankle deep in dirt and refuse. They have not been cleaned in years, the commissioner said. With no coal and little wood, power plants were all closed down and "Everybody was cold." In Moscow the inhabitants were said to be so poorly clad that the visitor "got the impression that it was regarded as a disgrace to be clean or neatly dressed." rz Schools are being kept open, he said, and children apparently were considered next in importance to the red army. Hospitals, he added, were practically destitute ot the most elementary medicines and equipment.

Circuit Court

The court Friday morning approved ihe final report of the commissioner r.ppointed to partition real estate for Downey Lodge 20" of Masons, in Boston, Indiana against the Universalist Convention of Indiana, Theodore Roberts, Elizabeth Druly and Winifield Smelser.
