SEBASTOPOL, Crimea,
August q, 1910
| The little city OF Sebastopol. which has
about 10000 inhabitants, occupies a pic
turesque situation upon a low promon-
tory. or hogs back. as such formations
are usually called. about $50 feet high in
the center. and sloping gradually to the
water on both sides.
Viewed from the sea, the city looks
much larger than it is. The white walls
OF the buildings glisten in the sun. On
one shore is an estuary given up to
commerce. On the other side Of the
ridge is the naval harbor, or inner bay,
with a narrow entrance defended by two
old fashioned forts with square port
holes, like those in the harbor Of New
York
The outer bay Is also strongly fortified
The batteries are modern and are masked
SO that II is difficult for a stranger 10
identify them.
Harbor Bottled Up.
At the beginning Of the war of 1855, the
entrance to the harbor was bockaded
in the same way that Hobson tried TO
bottle up Santiago de Cuba.
The Russians had a large feet OF rot
ten old wooden ships. They were quite
as good as any the Turks had. and Rus
STA did not anticipate the Intervention
Of England and France, whose men-of-
war were powerful in comparison.
The Russian admiral kazarsky, in COM
mand Of the Russian ships, proposed to
attack the British ships whether or no,
grapple them. blow them up and go down
with them. But the Russian authorities

human life as the scheme involved.
So 1t was decided to use the bulls for
defensive rather than offensive purposes.
The entire fleet OF the car was ecuttled
and sunk at the entrance OF the harbor
OF Sebastopol.
Providence took care or the British
fleet and sent a storm which wrecked
twenty-one vessels OFF the entrance to
the little harbor OF Balaklava-
Big Naval Station.
On the opposite side of the harbor from
the town is the naval station, reached
by ferry boats, which cross every few
minutes: immense barracks for sailors
and marines. hospitals; machine shops,
arsenals. warehouses. sail lofts and other
structures. which cover an area OF sew
eral hundred acres, and extend UP the
side OF the harbor into the hills which
surround the city on the north. There
arc tall smokestacks rising in the air
and long docks and piers running into
the water.
The officers houses are attractive in
their situation and appearance. and form
city of themselves. The commandant
is also the governor general OF the dis
trict. which seems a good idea. because
I'm that way rivalry. controversy and con-
flict OF authority such as constantly oc-
ours i'm India and other places that might
be mentioned is avoided.
The present governor general has a
charming wife and family. who speak
English perfectly. having lived for sew
eral years in London, where he was
naval attache OF the Russian embassy.
His official residence is on the point OF
the promontory, in the center of the
town, where he can overlook everything
and everybody.

pIrrsBURc AND PRIVILEGE.
"Everybody's" Summarizes the condi-
tons That Have Built Up a city
Monstrous, and Hopes for
Regeneration.

II is neither our purpose nor our de-
sire merely to "muckrake" Pittsburg or
any other city. The eruption there is
typical Of similar conditions in other
great civic eenters throughout the coun-
try. and it seems to us IL might be
made the text Of diagnosis Of the
whole municipal problem in America.
We have come to realize that the real
trouble in our country is privilege. Big
business, in its ruthless pursuit Of re-
suits, has the ultimate responsibility for
the Ills that confront us nj political,
social and commercial life. The graft
scandals, the bank deialcations, etc, are
simply symptoms Of internal disorders.
They are the eruptions Of the disease.
Pittsburg might be called the typical
get-rieh.quiek community It's great
wealth Is based on the abundant coal
and iron with which the Creator loaded
is environment Down on those de-
posits fasten thousands OF Americans
seized with the mania OF. money-mak
lug. They coin the coal and iron into
millions. They work feverishly; they
work their men furiously It's mad,
frenzled scramble for success and sensa-
ton TO get rich quicker, they exact
excessive protection from Congress-first
to prop up infant industries. then to
consolidate abnormal profits. If the
government undertakes to deny their
demands, they buster first, then in
trigue, then intimidate. Mills are
closed down; the prosperity Of the
country Is threatened, Hobbies are organ
ized, corruption funds subscribed, until
Congress succumbs and new "iokers" are
written into steel tariffs.
In the meantime, a huge city is up
reared, But this city is run for the
benefit Of its industries, not for the
comfort Of its inhabitants. Street rail-
way, gas, electric corporations are or
ganized, ostensibly to serve the commun-

The only people who aren't satisfied
with the new order Of things are the
newspaper correspondents. The town is
scattered out over six Or seven miles;
the executive Offices are half mile from
the town proper and the Taft cottage
is two miles away. The executive Offices
must be watched all the time for callers,
as all those who go to the presidents
house generally make the arrangements
with Secretary Norton.
There isn't any press room in the
big house now constituting tho executive
Offices. The newspaper men are not
allowed to loiter ID the building. The
OILY thing left for them to do is to
