Deserter From the Russian
Army Goes Back at Risk Of
His Life.

The Webb City correspondent OF
the Joplin Globe says: "Not many
months ago Russian named Morris
Silver cameto this country and found
his way to Jasper county, where he
has since been living, and finding
more or less profitable employment.
Last evening he stepped aboard a
street car and started to return to
Russia.
This itself would not have been
very remarkable, as it often happens
that immigrants become homesick
and pine for chance to get back to
their native land. But the fact that
this man should have wanted to re-,
turn to Russia, especially at the pres
ent time, was somewhat singular, for
the reason that he left as deserter
from the Russian army, and that his
going back again may, and almost
certainly will, be attended by risk OF
severe punishmcnt-perhaps death.
For the past eight weeks Silver has
been working for A. Galamba, OF this
city, earning $1,000 a week. But"
said Mr.. Galambs, himself and Amer
icanized Russian, nothing suited
him here, and l found that his whole
thought was about going back
home. So to day told him he had
better get ready to start. Then he
told me that he had received a letter,
telling him that everything had been
fixed up, SO he said, and they were
sending him check to pay his ex-
penses for the return trip. My own
impression is that both the man and
his friends at home have been deceiv-
ed, and that he is going home TO al.
most certain punishment. He was
one OF the enlisted men who were
summoned from the reserve lists for
service on the second call, soon after
the present war commenced. Anum.
Der OF them deserted from their regi-
ment, and he was among them. He
succeeded because he had enough
money to travel in getting out OF his
native province in Southern Russia,
and fled the country. But the Rus
sian government never loses sight of
Its deserters, and have not the least
doubt that trap has been laid for
his capture as soon as he sets foot
anywhere near his old home. told
him this but did not persuade him
one way or the other, as l found he
had his mind ret on returning. He
will stay in Joplin a few days, until
his check comes, and soon he will be
aboard a steamer travelling home
ward, to meet whatever late lies be-
fore him."

The Real Cause Of the

The explosion Of the boiler in the

fails to give another cause which, to
nearly anyone but commissioned OH
Ger, is equally as apparen. as the ones
cited. This other cause lies in the
fact, already commented upon in these
columns, that the men of the navy
have no hope Of rising above the rank
of a petty officer.
The Unlisted man in the United
States Navy has absolutely no hope
Of the future and no matter how pro-
heient he may become, no matter to
what extent may he educate himself,
no matter what his character may be,
the man behind the gun can never
hope to command a ship.
This feature of Uncle Sans navy
is the most un-American institution
which We possess. The profession OF
the man-of-war's man is, in fact, one
OF the few professions or callings in
the whole world in which man is not
accorded a chance to rise.
Do we wonder then that men become
disheartened in the navy and try to
get away? Is it strange also that an
institution of this kind does not az.
tract to itself class of men among
whom such a thing as desertion would
be an exception rather than a rule?
It is all very well to theorize about
causes and speculate on remedies, but
until the door of hope" is opened for
the Unlisted man in the navy, the best
results cannot and should not be ex-
pected.
