Weinner is in town. What a happy
exclamation. His mere presence is
cheering, his hand clasp stimulat-
ing and his greeting benediction.
He is engaged in great work. For
d suffering conutrymen he is sacri-
ficing home, friends and birth
right in order that their load NAV
be made lighter and their life's bur-
den made easier to bear. His good
words for every community, for
every business interest, for every
struggling individual are scattered
broadcast ia fertile fields every day
and harvest time shows munificent
results.
The Baron is man Young in
years but old in experience. He
has travelled in every country on the
globe, associated with the people
of all lands. His travels have
brought him in contact With the
nobility of every continent and his
business has associated him with
the lower classes, thus his exper-
ience has been as wide as it has
been varied. He has been shadow
ed by the government spies of Rus
sia, he has had every vetsige OF
clothing stolen from his room by
those in quest of valuable papers
or his person and he has braved the
thrilling experiences of bearing inn
portant dispatches between the Jap
anese and Russian armies during
the late conflict between those two
countries. The Baron is entertain
ing-he is a spellbinder. When in
his company one forgets the fast
slipping moments in listening tc
accounts of thrilling experiences
told in a most entertaining manner
He is educated speaking and writ
ing seven lsnguage possessed OF
a world of information gathered
during his extensive travels anc
curteous to fault.
Baron Won Weimer is here in the
interests of the Peoples Guard OIL
the Russian Republican Military
Association. This organization Is
an amalgation of the several Finish,
Polish, Lettish, Esthcnian, ano
other societies in this country tha
are working for the establishment
of repnblic in Russia like the
United States.
The society already numbers over
272,0 registered voters scatter
ed throughout the United States
and territories, and the number l.
rapidly increasing.
Several United States senators
and members of the house OF repre-
seutatives are members OF this or
ganization, but for obvious reasons
their names are known on ther
books only as numbers or letters
The organization is not In an,
way connected with the anarcn1su
or terrorists, but seeks to over throw
the present Russian government II
the same way the authority OF Grea
Britain was overthrown in Uni
country during the Revolution
1t is this same society that ma
been clamoring for greater l1bertie'
and some degree of representation
in the governing bodies for the pas
decade. They compelled the Gar L
call together a vote for the electlot
of the new Douma that endeo II
such failure because they insisted
on esnacting laws that would De o
benefit to the people. They 90 no
propose to bring to pass new stat
of affairs by aid OF the bomb AM
the torch but by enlightenment
gained in other countries do tnel
expect to bring about greater re
form than could ever be effected D,
revolutionary measures
Secretary Hay said in his note o
rcmonstrance addressed to tn'
Treaty at Berlin: The interests
the peace and the security OF tii'
great Powers of the world, and, re
inforcing those corsiderati ms, smy
pathy and humanity, the horror o
cruelties long continued, the IN
dignation kindled by the spectacle
of a down-trodden people baftled II
every attempt to win their freedom
shot down for no worse crime thaI
expressing desire for liberty
terror lied at every turn by I'M
prison and the bayonet must soone
