i BOLSHEVISM BRED AND BORN IN FILTH
Eleanor Franklin Egan, writing in the Saturday: Evening Post,
, draws an alarming picture of filth not mere dirt, but plain obvious
filth tolerated and complacently accepted' 'as perfectly proper-concomitants
of life Jfv vast huassci "of the oeople'of Eurone;;
Notrtfiftil we : have personallyf
meir nomeircies can wc Americans conceive wnai mm reany means,
and what a peculiarly gioridusly clean 'nation is "our"own; '
, The author reminds us that it is rout:oftlus complacent 'filth
that Bolshevism has been torn, thai' it is among the unclean peoples
of Darkest Europe, that it has thrived sufficiently to become a men
ace to the world. " - - ' V' "
, Wherever Bolshevism is strongest there is filth filthiest.
Those peoples of -Europe have no conception of sanitation and
hygiene as we know it, either in "their personal habits or their house
hold customs. '""'".. -: ' ' ' ' ' ' -
Indeed, there seems to be a very5 general attitude to 'regard
cleanliness as ridiculous affection;": V s . .' . :
We know that such Bolshevism

There is a natural affinity between1 filth" and Bolshevism:
- Both hold the creed of doing'
whether it is the cause of . personal, and -home cleanliness or earning
.one's wages. "'J':1'""" ,;. ' - '
. The wholesome ;Amerjcan in' his healthy, hygienic home, has no
more use for Bolshevism witfe its- self Uh idestrnctiveness: itk. coni
temptible sabotage, its wanton victimisation of the, general public for
us own uiny enas, man ne nas ior
, stenches and unthinkable filth from which it first raised . its con
taminatinghead..i . ' 'r" . - .
Wherever BolsBevism'is in powr the wholcstandards of living

ABOUT THE Y. M. C. A.
Editor Statesman:
Since returning to the United
States and' to Salem. I have been
many times asked by my friends as
to the work of the Y. M. C. A. during
the" recent 'war. At first I gave the
matter no attention, but after listen
ing to 'the tirades of abuse heaped
upon the organization in question. I
wish to submit to those Interested
two different viewpoints of the mat
ter. My own service consisted of 18 i
months in the1 states and less than j
10 months in France. For this rea
son the accompanying letter from a
soldier who had a greater experience
than by own is presented.
This man makes some statements
which many of us who wish to give
the M Y" a square deal think a more
reasonable view of he matter. At
another time the question as to the
mercantile' enterprises - of the Y. M.
C A. will be submitted for publica
tion. '! The main point which I desire
to make clear in dealing with this
question is this: A few. facts can as
sist In' correcting a few distorted ru
mors, but time will prove that the
Y. M. C. A." accomplished the greatest
friendly act in the world's history.
And further: As time does reveal
these things, critics will realize that
no i defense , for ' the organization Is
needed, because no matter what task
was encountered by the "Y", success
was the final outcome. The follow
ing letter first appeared in the sol
diers inewspaper,r "The Stars and
Strtnes," published February 14.
1919,' and was later ' reprinted in a
March, 1919, issue of the "Literary
Digest." While the "wriater's name
is not published, it is in possession
of the war department and would not
have been accepted by the military
publishers of the "Stars and Stripes"
had the article been submitted anon
ymously.' William . L. Carver.
(Following Is the article mention
ed above:)
THE Y. M. C. A.
To the Editor of The Stars and
Stripes:
I am not the guy who really won
the war, nor did I see all the fronts.
but there are a lot of birds in this
outfit who didn't get as far toward
Berlin as yours truly. Having intro
duced myself to my enthusiastic
readers, stand back and allow me to
begin.
My subject tonight will be a few
words about the Y.M.C.A. Some of
the lads don't seem to like It, and
have started in to make the crowd
back home think It's a false alarm
Now, Ed, you know that it's an easy
thing to scatter the vitriol here and
there, and there is a certain class of
young volunteers who would rather
do it than eat. I'm one of those peo
ple who like to crab a little myself;
It's a habit I learned around the
scuttle hut (ask the gob what
mean), but these vitriol boys are on
the wrong track this time. They are
citing Isolated cases that have hap
pened during7 this year and a half,
and making a mountain out of a
mole-hill. This puts the entire Y.M.
C.A. on the witness stand in self-defense,
and that Is a thing that should
not be. Let's drop off a few points.

'see, mate?,
We see hundreds of men who could
have kept the home fires burning In
the U. S. A., and earned a good wage
along with the slackers and the gen
nine non-drafted men at any number
of good paying positions. What did
they do? They came to France and
kept on the job morning; noon and
night every day of the week.1 They
kidded the brawny igbters in the S.

Scene from (he 'Hawaiian .MuJcal Play, "A DnujUiter of, thy San,9 at tlie
Grand Opera H oune, one night
The Hawaiian Islands are the home
of the Kanaka. He is a son of the
tropic4 and has evolved many things
typically his own. The most pro
nounced of these Ms his music. The
sad and plaintive melodies tell of his
own isolation in the midst of. the
Pacific. - Hawaiian music has swept
our land the past few years as noth
ing of the kind ever did before. We
hear it everywhere and every one
seems to enjoy Jt. The new play

Since I've been up with machine
guns- I've never seen anything of this
chocolate ration that the Q. M corps
serves out troops, and I don't expect
to do eo either. Nor do I feel any
anguishi because the Y.M.C.A. didnH
feed me in a fox-hole, especially
when I know who had the monopoly
on available transportation.
There was a lad named Wilbur
who was the secretary assigned to
our battalion. He had been turned
down for the' army because he had
one eye. So he sought the lucrative
and luxurious life of the Y.M.C.A..
thus hoping to be of some service to
his country. When he found that ft
was impossible to drag chocolate bars
and cigars over the top with machine
gtins, he gave first aid to the wound
ed under shell fire. He had the time
of his young life, and no, one had
anything on Wilbur when It came to
courage: The Boche winged htm up
at Blane Mont In Champagne, and he
got a bllghty. I '
There were lots of Wilburs in ttie
Y.M.C.A.. Jf yonj start Investigating!
I hate to see a lot of crabs Ignoring
them. too. ' ,
When we started on our marathon
via France. Belei Um T.nnmfuinrr
and Germany, we were lucky to have
our emergency rations keep np with
us. Then we settled in various cas
tles on the Rhine, and the crabs be
gan to scream for the Y.M.C.A.
Where was H?t Ask the army about
that--ask why the trainloads of
stores were sidetracked so that more
important things could come np. But
now ; our. soldier . boys are" getting
enough candy to make each and ev
eryone sick, and enough cigarettes
to totally destroy the lungs.
I have purposely failed to touch
upon the work of the women in the
Y.M.C.A., because , I couldn't , ade
quately express the appreciation that
we must all feel for their sacrifices
and their infinite patience with us
They come from the best American
womanhood, they are the finest type
possible to obtain, and their refining
influence among us has been evident
in tvery camp that they have graced
by their presence. They have been
an inspiration to many of ns, con
scious or unconscious of that Inspir
ation though we may be.
' Just consider what they' have giv
en np at home to come over with us
and to slave for us. yes slave for us.
Do ynrj think It easy to put up with
our general indifference and constant
demands and continual kicks and to
smile and be pleasant and truly sym-
pametlc? Well, it Isn't easy.: and If
we try for a moment to' put our
selves In their place and cater, to the
A.F.F we shall get the point.

abounds In mystery and Intrigue. The
secret service of the. U. S. A. is in

of the Jap. The cast is one of unusu
