NO MIDDLE GROUND.
Russia Seems Doomed to AbsoIutism
or to Anarchy.

Moscow, Jan. 23.-Aiexander Barry,
a naturalized American, who is among
the prominent manufacturers Of Mos
COW takes an exceedingly gloomy view
of the situation here. Mr.. Barry en-
ploys from 500 to 5000 men and un-
edge of Russian conditions than any
American in the empire. He is con-
WINGED that the Russian people are not
ripe for full constitutional regime.
The opening of the flood gates of
agitation by the publication of the i'm
perial reform manifesto only served to
demoralize a portion of the masses
which had already been disturbed by
the agitators.
Continuing Mr.. Barry said:
1.-THE ignorant masses really have
none of the political aspirations at
tributed to them by the agitators, but
owing to their poverty they are easy
prey to the appeals for liberty, which
for them mean license.
THAT they neither understand nor
care for true political rights is proved
by the fact that in Moscow less than
10 per cent and in the provinces not
over , per cent of the qualified voters
will register. Consequently it can be
taken for granted that the national
assembly vii he oVerwh eIningly con-
sentative and will become an institu-
ton to register the DEGREES of the gov
eminent This turn is sure to drive
liberals, intellectual classes and the
visionary, impracticabIe class with ill
digested political ideals who through
out the crisis and since the issuance of
the reform manifesto have stood idly
by exercising no influence or restraint.
The revolutionary agitation will then
enter on q. new and more dangerous
phase. Up to the present time it has
been a mistake to imagine that the
revolutionary ideas had taken deep
root either in the people or in the
army. The agitation has been cleverly
manipulated to give it that appear
ance. Like benzine rubbed on the sur
face it is very inflammable but soon
evaporates if not set on fire. But agi-
tators with matches are everywhere.
Fifty per cent of the workmen in the
cities of Russia will be out of work in

unemployed they will wander back to
their villages and find willing ears

ROB THEIR TEACHER.
Leader of Sunday school Class Makes
Surprising Discovery.

Chicago. Jan. 23.-When Miss Ethel
Hansen, Sc Humboldt boulevard, a
teacher in the Sunday school of the
Bethel Norwegian Lutheran church on
Humboldt street, went to the West
North avenue police station to identify
the hand bag and moey stolen from
her Saturday night, she was sadly sur
prised. The four confessed eulprits were
members of her own Sunday school
class.
At first Miss Hansen positively re-
fused to sign warrants against the boys,
but when informed by Lieut.. Danner
that she would be compelled to come in
to court as a witness she yielded. and,
with tears falling from her eyes, attach
ed her name to the four writs.
They told Lieut.. Danner they We're
members of d gang and that some of
them had been in the highway business
before.

rangements and to report at the meeting
of the executive committee next week.
The next convention of the association
will be held in either the Cumberland
Presbyterian church or the First Meth
odist church on September 1918. The
committee has not yet decided on a pro-
gramme, or definitely decided in which
church the convention will be held. 1t is
the desire to have the next convention
the largest that has ever been held in
the county.
Reports were heard last night from the
delegates who went to Montgomery to at
tend the annual state convention. They
reported that the attendance was by far
the largest in the history of the associa-
ton The jefferson County association
sent more than 200 delegates to the con-
ventlon, and there were nearly 1000 pres
ent from other parts of the state. The
choice of the next meeting place was left
in the hands of the state executive COM
mittee. 1t is possible that Birmingham
will invite the state convention to meet
here next year. 1t has grown so large
that there are only three or four cities
in the state which can entertain 1T now.
