NEWS OF ALL THE WORLD BRIEFLY TOLD
REYOLUTIONISTS APPEAL
TO THE RUSSIAN ARMY
Manifestoes Urge Soldiers Not to
Shoot Countrymen.

LONDON, Oct. IA Paris dispatch to
the Times says: The Petite Repub-
lique" publishes the text of two revolu-
tionary manifestoes addressed respec-
lively to the officers and soldiers of
the Russian army in April and August.
The first manifesto refers TO the
shameless clique which is governing
Russia, and urges the officers not TO
lead their men in a fratricidal war
against their countrymen. The second
manifesto dwells especially upon the
bonds uniting the soldier with the peas
ants and workingmen, adding that many
of the officers are perfectly conscious of
the odious part they are called on to
play, but that they do not know whether
the men sympathize.
But whatever the officers views. it
is not he who aims and fires. but you,
soldiers; it, therefore, depends entire
~ upon you not to fire.
The Petite RepubliQue," commenting
on these documents, recalls the case OF
an officer who, during the recent Kieff
strike riots. called upon his men in a
few eloquent words not to shoot the
strikers.

SHE JILTS A LOVER
10000 MILES AWAY
Though Engaged to Australian She
WEEDS Another.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Grace Konopak.
daughter of a professor in Toledo, Ohio.
after making all her arrangements to
go out to Sydney, Australia, to be mar
ried to the man to whom she was en-
gagged, changed her mind and became the
wife of DR.. Henry W. Wandless, an ocu-
list. of As West Thirty-second Street.
this city.
DR.. Wandless said today: 1T is quite
true that my wife was engaged to
Francis A. Mccarthy, an electrical en-
gineer, of Corning, n. Y, who is now
in Australia. and that she had planned to
go out to Sydney to marry him. l met
her two years ago when she was visiting
friends in New Jersey.
For a long time she thought 1t her
duty to fulfill her previous engagement
more particularly as Mr.. Mccarthy had
sent her money to pay for her passage
and buy the necessary clothes and
things, but she did not really care for
him and decided that under the circum-
stances It would be wrong for her to link
her life with his.
"She wrote to Mr. Mccarthy telling
him Of her decision, and we were mar
ried about three months ago. We have
been waiting to hear from Sydney as to
what disposition Mr.. Mccarthy wishes
her to make of the money he had sent
her and the presents he had given her.
THAT the story should have become
public at this time is. 1 presume. due
to the pique of her rejected lover"
