The story was circulated at the com

the greatest enthusiasm for the war
among the Russian pOpulace, and that
the Jews and the Firms were volunteer
ing. The nonsense of this was pointed
out in these columns at the time The
Russians in the United States promptly
took steps to get themselves naturaliz-
ed and took cut their first papers. Now
comes the story that close on to 1000
Russians arrived in 4New York yes
terday, fleeing from military service.
On the other hand the Japanese a
broad are fleeing towards Japan, seek
ing military service. There is mighty
little enthusiasm among the Russians
over the war. The enthusiastic popu-
lace spoken of in st. Petersburg is like
a stage crowd, only instead of being
drilled b" a stage manager it is drill
ed by the police. 1t is enthusiasm to
