BOLSHEVIKI ran
PI) THEIR DEBTS
I ■*
TRENCH ARE WORRIED BECAUSE
O) THE REPUDIATION BY RUS
SI A OF THT EN TIRE N ATION AL
BONDED DEBT.
PARIS. March s.—The repudiation
y the Bolshevik government of Rus
sia’s entire bonded debt caused some
anxiety among French people who
held at least half of the debt of the
empire outstanding at the beginning
of the war.
Eighteen billions of francs of Rus
sian bonds, at the price of issue, were
listed on the ’Paris Bourse. Twelve
billions according to the lowest esti
mates and fifteen bullions according
to other calculations, were bought by
the French public,
Servants in white aprons, bare-head
ed market women, domestics of all
categories and men in the blouses of
the peasant and the laborer made up
the long lines of investors in front
of the wickets whenever Russian loans
vere offered for sale,
“I haven’t a sou invested in Rus
sia,” a millionaire Parisian said to
The Associated Press, “but every one
cf my servants has one or more Rus
sian bonds.” Another millionaire,
said the same was true of his house
hold. “Instead of hitting the count
ing house and the salon, the Bolshe
vik! are hitting the servants’ hall and
the backstairs” was the way he put
the situation,
There is no little apprehension in
socialist circles as to the effect of this
heavy blow the extreme revolutionary
element in Russia has delivered at
the extreme liberal element in France
A peasant or workingman who may
overlook or disbelieve news of Bolshe
vik excesses or misconstrue their effect
will be unable to dou tbthe evidence
cf his own despoilment.
Until now the holders of Russian
bonds have been reassured by the
payment of the January coupons which
the French treasury assumed. It
doesn’t appear yet, however, whether:
the French government will assume
the burden indefinitely and if the
bankruptcy of the revolution is allow
ed to become effective, the greater
i umber of the smaller investors who
have been financing the Russian em
pire since 1888 will be ruined.
A contrast is drawn here between
the action of the Bolshevik! and that
cf the French revolution. The Max
imalists pretend that the money loan
ed to Russia was used to buy arms
to keep the people in subjection. This
was true to a far greater extent of
the money borrowed by the French
monarchy prior to 1879, yet the con
vention made it a point of honor
to take those debts to the account of
the republic.
The claims that money furnished by
France brought no benefit to the peo
ple of Russia is also contested. It is
possible to trace the money through
the official list of the loans floated
iu Paris and it is found that more
than three-fourths of the capital rep
resented was employed to buy rail
roads, to build them, or to develop
industry and agriculture.
Russia had improved only about
cne-third of her land at the beginning
of the war and the question is asked
how the peasants to whom the un
improved land is turned over will
find means of improving it if Russian
credit is forever destroyed by the
repudiation of her debts.

BRYAN IS HOWLED
DOWN IN TORONTO
TORONTO, March s.—William Jen
nings Bryan was refused a hearing
when he appeared'at Massey hall here
last night to address a prohibition
meeting under auspices of the Do
minion Alliance.
Returned soldiers caused the dis
turbance by shouting various epi
thets.
“What about the Lusitania?” they
also demanded in chorus.
The first disturbance came before
Mr. Bryan’s entry, when the chairman
told the audience they were to be
honored by listening to the fraternal
delegate of the Anti-Saloon League of
Aerica, “one of the foremost citizens
of our ally.”
The chairman refrained from iWm
tioning Mr. Bryan’s name as long as
he could, but when it came out at
last, it wa s greeted by a chorus of cat
calls and cries of “We don’t want him.”
The chairman appealed to the audi
ence- It was not a good thing for the
city they were doing, he said, and “a
bad thing for the cause we represent.”

FRUITFUL BRITISH
RECRUITINGEROUND
OVER TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND
THOUSAND SUBJECTS OF KING
GEORGE HAVE ENLISTED IN
AMERICA SINCE JUNE.
NEW YORK, March s.—Since the
establishment of the British and Can
adian recruiting mission in the Unit
ed States last June, with headquar
ters in this city, over 20,000 British
ers and Canadians have actually en
i’sted; 15,000 were rejected. A spec
ial drive has just been inaugurated
to recruit 20,000 more from this coun
try in the next two months.
"At first sight the drive seems un
neeezsary,” said Brig.-Gen. W. A.
White, who has charge of the recruit
ing. “in view of the fact that
the draft recruiting convention is
about to be ratified between the
United States and Great Britain,
whereby all British subjects between
the ages of twenty and forty (both
inclusive) will be subject to draft into
the .American army. But there are
approximately 190,000 Britishers and
Canadians of American draft age in
tie United States today; these men
have actually registered their names
under the American draft. There are
at least 100,000 more Britishers and
Cun: lians between the ages of
thity-one and forty-one, so that is
he lowest estimate 290,000 will be
come liable to draft into the Ameri
can army when the convention is
ratified.
"For tw o months after the singing
of the convention these men will have
the opportunity of joining the British
or Canadian army, and I intend to get
20.000 volunteers during this period
if it can be done. This is not because
Great Britain does nto want her sub
jects to go into the American army,
but because if these men wait to be
drafted it will necessarily be a long
time before they get to France, and
they will merely take the place in the
diaft of other men who would other
wise be drafted.
“In other words, there is no in
crease to the Allied man power. If
they are taken today into the British
army as recruits each man becomes a
positive addition to the Allied max
power by being passed through the
British military machine, which has
been in existence over three years, and
can be turned out more rapidly as
trained soldiers.”
NORWEGIAN SHIPS
ARE NOT ATTACKED
CHRISTIANIA, March s.—Vessels
sailing between America and Norway
outside the danger zone and not
touching British ports lately have not
been attacked by Germans probably
more in their, own interests than for
any special love of Norway. Ger
many for a long while has not been
able to send so Norway and as
far as known has not promised to
go s 0 even if Norway refused to ac
cept American conditions for food ex -
port to this country.
German vessels sailing to Norway
must have provisions, oil, and kero
sene for the whole round trip and
will only in exceptional cases be al
lowed to get small qpantities of Nor
wegian products.
Some great Norwegian factories
; reducing articles for export to Ger
many are run by German coal oil and
kerosene as are fishing vessels ob
taining fish for export to Germany.
Norway at present receives from
Germany steel and iron for construc
tion and is absolutely dependent on
Germany for the import of potassium
compound kainite which is used ex
tensively for fertilizing.
