Washington.—Calling for the patri-

Its fight to protect their homes, re-
ligion and property from the spread-
ing menace of Bolshevism, the United
States Department of Justice has Is-
sued a warning against the Insidious
propaganda of the "Reds" during the
new year. It reads:
“It would he extremely helpful to the
cause of good government, the main-
tenance of law and order and the pres-
ervation of peace and happiness in our

does not represent the radicalism of
progress. It represents a specific doc-

criminal and dishonest movement.’

one hundred so-called Bolshevists there
is one1 real Bolshevik, thirty-nine crim-

destruction of all ownership In proper-
