Mii IDS III IfMINEtIT PERIL OF DEGENERATION Bolshevism Approaches Role of . Grim Farce With Lenine Urg ing War Against Opposition. RUSS PRODUCTION FALLS OFF Under Red Management Factory Output Lags to Degree That Alarms the Proletariat Itself. Br Jien Heeht Special Cble to The Journal sod The Chicago Itully Hem. i (Copyright, .1919, by CUicaco Daily News Co.) , Berlin, : April 12. The fog: ; behind which Russia has been hidden from Ger many for two years la beginning to lift. Newspapers from Moscow, Petrograd and the dark provinces have started filtering into Berlin. Russian j agents operating behind the Industrial! unrest t the nation are coming Into the open. It is a. Russian who is leading the gen eral strike In the Ruhr district and an other Russian is at the head of the Mu nich troubles and the Bavarian excite ment. Everywhere throughout the coun try where the masses are preparing to overthrow the government Russians are to be found Russian Jews, Russian monks and Russian litterateurs. Rumors nre flying through the government of fices that Lenine himself was in Ger many two weeks ago. : ! Bnsslin Bolshevism Degenerates Today I received a dozen newspapers dated from March 16 to March 25. They had been brought into Germany by the name mysterious process which brings Russian gold and Russian couriers across the frontiers. It was not neces sary to read between the lines of these papers to ascertain the grim farce into which Russian Bolshevism is fast degen erating. i In a copy of "Kommunal" 1 found lengthy accounts of the carryings on of Bolshevist officials and warnings to commanders of the Red army at the front and behind the' lines to read the Kommunal. "The situation Is growing BteaUily worse," says the paper. "Gamb ling, drunkenness and laziness charac terize the personnel of the elected of ficers.' Laxity of discipline depopulates our armies as fast as we build them up. Disorderly and unbecoming conduct on the part! of officers and officials is largely responsible for this. Now that tMk mrthlll vaHrtn r9 all iviam Kam. In ;lie year 1899 has been ordered drastic steps will be taken to check the enor- noua number of desertions. Hereafter the-, punishment for desertion will not e visited upon the deserter alone. -The new - government manifesto proclaims the following as responsible for the de serter the head of the desertcr'sfamlly and, all the members of his family in a lesser degree his Immediate superiors and his close friends. All these will be punished if the deserter does not return it 10 days." ,i Workers' Pleblseate Forbidden : . The Iswestia of March 25 carries sim ilar tales. All the Moscow papers are filled .with the developments at the eighth Bolshevist congress held In that eity. - M. Burcharin, one of the delegates to this congress, precipitated in near schism : in the Bolshevist party- by a speech proclaiming that Russia was ready for a workers' plebiscite. "The 4tme hasi come to establish self determi nation of workers," announced Burcharin In explaining In a lengthy harangue his reasons for believing that the workers should be allowed to decide for them selves whether they wanted Bolshevism. This - view was quickly attacked by Ienine in a speech forbidding such a po- , litlcal program. He announced that giving workers the power of self deter mination .would soon degenerate Into a program; allowing all classes this priv ilege of I self determination. We must rely on bur Red army and Ita bayonets for our great triumph," said Lenine. - "It will be dangerous to give the' workers a privilege which is bound to be usurped by the bourgeoisie." I F rod actio a Falls Of M. Burcharin, according to the Russian papers, is one of the leading spirits in .bo all-Russian central; executive com mittee and one of the creators . of the Bolshevist program given out by the Pe trograd Soviets. This program has evi dently created an .Internal disturbance ; within the ranks of the Bolshevik!. It was withdrawn from consideration ' by the Moscow congress after communists like Krylenko. Kamenev, Shokolinkow and Gladse spoke fiercely In Its favor. In a paper called "Ekonomitscheskajw Whins" stress Is laid upon the decrease j of factory production during the last year. It contains an editorial warning to Bolshevist workmen to work and not to depend upon supplies through pillage and plunder. It points out that there was a decrease of 55 per cent In the pro--ductlon of a certain factory near Mos cow. This factory is cited as an exam ple of the general industrial conditions. The chief reason for the falling off In production," proclaims the editorial, "Is the undernourishment .of the workers. Their rations were decreased last month by 60 per cent. ; f Beware 1 i This can't go on Ions." . ? An Imperishable Symbol: The Perfect Diamond!

Penalties or None at All. The bright sunshine Saturday softened the heart of Municipal Judge Rossman and. as a result, many' of the alleged violators of the law brought before him were able to escape with light penalties, while others were not sentenced at all. Few heavy penalties were levied. Fred Kuhn must spend tne next 100 days In the city Jail because he stole a suit of clothes from Frank Alameda, fire man on a Nickum & Kelly dredge. In spectors Maloney and LaSalle arrested Kuhn, recovered the stolen property and informed Alameda before he knew he had lost anything. 4 , f i Hong' Ongr who wfts found guilty : of conducting a lottery game, was sen tenced . to upend the next SO- days, in jail, along avittw-the othe-Orientals who vmi ume on a vimiiin cnarge.

In between the excited Bavarians, that , the masses : had come to celebrate the soviet victory, but the first speaker disillusioned me., It ap peared at once that the Bavarian revo lution was not yet an entire success and that, led by Dr. Levien, a part of the workers Were still demanding the sur rended of the conservative leaders. "We are the Soviets." shouted one speaker. - "We have been sol, out by men who proclaim themselves leaders of the new -- government. ' They are Landauer, Muhsam, Niklseh.

After this curious demonstration I hurried back to the city to find out In Just what way the soviet government had. betrayed the real communists. A rereading of the soviet proclamation gave no hint of a betrayal of Bavaria's soviet program. Which is as strong and inclusive aa any thing Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg wuiu nave concocted. For another hour I moved along with the masses, the roar of their feet filling my ears. There was nothing humorous and nothing fuerile in the vast swarm of siowiy moving folk In the strange light heartedness and curious eagerness which marked the endless , blur of working men's and working women's faces. "What has become of the bourgeoise?" I wondered as the crowds shuffled past. Apparently the bourgeoise had vanished from the face of Bavaria. V Leaders at Swords Points . 7,1 entered the historic Ludwig palace In search of the soviet leaders. The change from the roaring street to the prattling interior war like the? change from Shakespeare to Weber and Fields. Out side the masses haa come together welded by a common " dream of prole tariat justice and proletariat rule ; inside the proletariat leaders had fallen apart, each waving a bit of -poppycock duma and standing "auf derri standpunkt" (on the program or platform). Outside the masses were moving slow ly and joyously, with hearts victoriously aglow ; inside the picturesquely barbered leaders are engaged in fiery splitting controversies which threaten at, any moment to turn the victorious revolution Into a farce. First- ther A tar a a Vfn Levien, the fiery geologist, who objected . me presence 01 .Tne entire list of min isters selected by the committee of 48; "We will continue the fight." he an nounced. "I will not enter Into uch a masquerade as this." And this despite the fact that all things for which Dr. Levien and the communists had been agitating were included in the soviet program. : , s Poets Head Soviet Dashing about the ' ancien corridors, eUght sight of a nreDOsteroiM iun man, almost seven feet tall, with a face iureiy concealed by a great red beard. I recognized him as Herr Landuer. He stopped and glared at me as I addressed him, and then, with a majestic wave of his hand and a croud tos of tit Hot exclaimed, "Can't you . see that I am weighted down with great problems? Why do you bother me?" v The great Landuer, who. . until six months aero was famous around the purlieus of Munich aa a third rate noet. mntimi his solemn march about the corridors. . - My next encounter . was " with Herr. Muhsam. As I was leaving tha I caught sight of a jubilant crowd drag- ingnienea middle-aged . man r in Its midst. The man-was dressed in n shabby frock coat, a pair of baggy trou sers, a flowing black tie. and a rakiablv tilted black velvet fedora. A grotesauely trimmed red beard completed the effect. It was Bohemia elevated suddenly into the political limelight, for Muhsanv until six months ago, had, been chiefly re nowned aa a third rate poet and second rate dramatic critic in Munich. ' - Men darted forward to shake hands with the newly victorious proletariat and others began to cheer while the crowd quickly increased. With a frightened look at the oncoming masses, the little red-whiskered poet took-to hla heels and fledv with hla UstlSDDlnc in the wind. into the haven offered by the 'govern ment buildinc ' ' - , . ' All the t afternoon ? there have been naltinii action againsfclhe governmen sessions trying to straighten out the post and part tanglea'brought on by the Soviets.. What the; result will be is still uncertain. ' No answer has yet been received from Berlin 'or ' Wefmar. The'.-latest news arriving declares that all " of Bavaria, barring Nurenberg, has declared for the Soviets. The stu dents, who were expected to prove a stumbling block for the proletariat dic tatorship, : have Joined the lrtovement and issued a proclamation overthrowing the professors of the Munich university and technical , hleh school. Who will spring into the leadership is also among the uncertain- things. Dr.. Lepp, fresh from Italy, , where he has been organizing the social demo crats. Dr. Levien and Herr .Neurath appear to be the largest factors on the horizon. So far no shot has been fired and not a single instance; of loot ing or pillaging reported. It r Is now 5 o'clock. Through the streets the roar of feet continues, no doubt addins? to the .confusion in the minds of th leaders. '.

Advice . Offered to Landlords Mrs. Kelly Rees made a forceful talk on the Fifth Liberty loan, Mrs. E. H.

Miss Amelia Feary i of the Public Welfare bureau told of the children's work of that organization and asked for women to , interest themselves In the work and attend the committee meetings. Mrs. S. L. Blumauer, chairman of the jyvenile court committee, offered a res olution directed to the circuit judges In whose hands lies the selection of three persons, one of whom the governor shall appoint as judge of the newly created court of domestic relations. The reso lution asks that only those persons be recommended who have shown a pre vious interest in and have been actively engaged In child welfare work or some other social worki and ' that they be favorably known to the social workers of Portland. This resolution was unan imously adopted. Mrs. E. B. Col well, secretary of the board of motion picture censors, gave an illuminating talk on the work of that body. She said that when the first sur vey of the motion picture field in Port land was made nine years ago, there were 100 such j shows, now there are 42, the Inference being that, the cheaper and lower class ones had been weeded out. 'National Censorship Favored She said the creation of a federal board, of censors was greatly to be de sired. ' She declared that there was much of personal taste, ideas ' and ' Ideals en tering into all censorship,- hence it was bound to lack uniformity. She declared that much laid in the interpretation of a picture and. that If a child's early train ing had been wholesome, the suggestive would not be looked upon as suggestive. Mrs. Alexander Bernstein presented the matter of asking the shops to return to a pre-war basia In regard to deliv eries, stressing! the point that the present plan works a hardship on the housewife and keeps men out of employment.
