BOLSHEVISM A
BLACK CLOUD
OVER EUROPE
Washington, Sept. 22—Asserting:
that Bolshevism is hanging like a
Mack cloud over every part of Europe
And that there is no telling what may
lu«4>pcn there, Senator Henry I,.
Meyers of Montana, Democrat, re
turned to Washington today from a
three month stay in Europe spent
largely in studying conditions there.
“Conditions in Europe are not
promising," he said, “and there is no
telling wtiat may happen there. I
think that the United States should
be prepared to preserve herself and
maintain her integrity no matter what
may or may not happen in Europe.
“If the people over there.” he said,
"would spend on their poor and needy
and on rehabilitation what they spend
on drink alone, all of the European
countries would l*e better off and they
would not have to appeal to the Uni
ted States to feed them.
f "Conditions in Europe are very
! dangerous”, the senator continued.
"TJie menace of Bolshevism is hang
ing lik“ a black cloud over all Eur
ope. The Russian Bolshevik! are wag
ing war against Poland with the
avowed object of subjugating and Bol
shevttsing the nation. The labor
unions of Britain and France have
served notice on the government's that
they must not furnish aid to Poland
in her struggle with the Bolsbeviki
and that not a dollar may be loaned o*
given her, and if any such attempt be
mode there will be a universal strike
in those countries. It, is, therefore
quite evident that Britain and France
do not dure to furnish and aid to

days. Hob Janke, widely known miner,
managed to subsist on berries and a
c ouple of young ptarmigan until, worn
to skin and bone and so weak that he
was scarcely able to walk, he stumbled
into Slim Rydeen’s mining camp on
Bear Creek, a few miles from Candl •
on August 23, according to a letter
written by Rydeen reaching local
friends.
The letter states that Janke arrived
n the Candle section last spring to
vork for the Kefwalik Mining Coni

hat concern until July and then start
d overland to Dime Creek by way of
Rear Creek. He left the Rydeer.

about 16 or IS miles. Like many

statements, all he had to eat after

diet, ho roamed through the hills fo

he finally became so weak that he was
no longer a war ■ of the direction ir,

Mr. Rydeen said Janke's mind seem

Rear Creek and he had a fair idea of
the time fye had been gone. He was
completely lost, however, and was aim
lessly drifting around looking for ber
ry patches, rather than trying to gel
some place. He had no idea what
ever of trying to get back to Boar
creek and struck the camp purely by
accident. Arriving a short distance
away, he stumbled onto a small ditch
used by Rydeen in his mining opera
tions and followed it to the camp.
According to Rydeen he was in a
pitiable condition. Nothing was lef:

skin was practically gone from both
