are all affected by surrounding cond-

that we, as a whole, tried to rush
the work of two and sometimes
three years into one year, and less

we Americans, for everything we
do is rush, rush, to finish that
which we have to do, and upon
completion make another rush to
something else, making an ever
continuous hustle. In Europe life
appears to be more quiet, and the

until some day a number of hust-
ling Americans settle there and
make a change, which l do not

Strikes In Russia.

When strikes occur, there is no
delay in dealing with them. Troops
are modified at once. The printers
in Moscow, for example, struck last
autumn. The strikers marched in
procession along few streets, clam

planned that they had been COM
PEELED to work overtime and that no
Compensation had been given TO-

chief of police, issued notice that
any man refusing to return to work
would be excluded forever from
Moscow. This stopped the move

similar movements elsewhere. -

through his palace, showing the
different rooms, such as the ball
