Mayor George L. Baker, of Port

elect of the present legislature,
warned them of the menace of a
workmen's and soldiers' council
.which 'has been organized at Port

said:

warned to such an extent that
red flag doctrine appeals to them.
Hunger and lack of clothing may
be, and perhaps are, making Bol
sheviks out of many of those in Rus
sia, but that condition does not pre
vail in the United States today. The
trouble is in the head.
Just why each of our many states
should be compelled to pass legisla
tion to protect itself against the red
flag Is peculiar and ' rather hard to
understand, for should the member
ship of that organization "continue
to increase at Its present alarming
rate, the government will eventually
be compelled, anyway, to take a
hand in the matter and crush it.
mayor
serves credit for having the nerve to
speak out publicly and denounce
what promises well to be a first class
Bolshevikl organization. He has
warned the legislators and the gov
ernor It is now up to them.
This soviet or Bolshevik! doctrine
may yet prove to be rather disas
trous to the United States if meas
ures are not taken immediately to
check it. It has not only spread
from Russia to Germany, but has
sent its agents into France, England,
the United States and South America.
At Buenos Ayres hundreds of peo
ple were killed the past few days In
riots instigated by Bolshevikl agita
tors. Like the Spanish Influenza,
the people are slow to arouse to its
danger, 'nevertheless it appears to
be steadily gaining a foothold in
America. -
The very title of such an organ
ization Is significant and worthy of
aHoub consideration: "Workmen's
and Soldiers' Council!" Just think
of that word "soldiers," and the
boys barely out ot the service and
still wearing the United States uni
form. But it is sate to say - that
those soldiers who are flocking to
the Bolshevikl organization, as
Mayor Baker terms It, are but a few
of the boys who are not, and never
were, loyal American citizens. They
donned the uniform under protest
and by force of the draft. Most of
them are foreigners who,' Just as
soon as they are free from military
authority, strike at society and at
tempt to drag it down to its lowest
strata. What a contrast' they are to
ther along tn this letter.
We have "had a few good changes j
in the ship here lately and I want
you to know about them. Our old
skipper has been . transferred to
shore duty In France aud that Just
tickled us to a flnUh. He was a
h.rn prabbish auv and I'll bet that
he bowled himself out at times, too
erratic and conceited to be in com
mand of any ship. To say that we
were relieved to see him go would
be expressing it mildly. Our new
skipper, Capt. Dempwolf, of the
coast suard service, Is some skipper.

Escorts are not uoing out with
convoys any mora so there are qulto
a good many U. S. boats In here and
to relieve the congestion the ships
have boon sunt outo different ports
for a few days stay. We got under

until J: 15 p. m., the 23rd of Novom

came back to Gibraltar.
We have been working In the Med

our base ever since March 8. Dur
ing this time wo have escorted 304
ships aud lust 2. That is about the
best record of any escort vessel on
this side. On the 17 th of May at
6:40 p. m. subs attacked our convoy
and hit one ship but did not sink
her. We did not find any trace
of this sub. At 8:40 p. m. the same
day another attack, one ship hit and
sunk. Tho V. S. S. Vinetla got on
,, .ot nf the sub and dropped
depth charges. A torpedo Just missed
our bow by a few feet, so we turned
and got on the wake of this sub and
from the second depth charge drop
ped there were two distinct reports.
We were sure that we at least dam
aged the sub. At 10 p. m. another
attack and one ship hit but floats.
