Russia Feels Herself
Morally in the Right

London, Aug. 10, ago p. Mt
is impossible to relate the amazing
things that have happened in Russia
during the last ten days" says a let
ter to the Daily Chronicle written in
St Petersburg on August 10. 1t con-
tinues:
Russia is not recognizable. or rath-
er that haunting beauty of Russia
which those of us who live here CROP
ingly and often sadly feel and love,
has suddenly shone forth radiantlI.
from out of the heavy clouds of failure
and defeat that have hidden il for
many years.
Russia is full of moral energy. She
has never displayed it with the same
Vlgor as now at any period of her his
tory Russia feels herself for once to
be morally in the right"
'Russia's internal condition was de-
pIorable, says the correspondent. The
Poles, Firms and Jews were embitter-
ed by the government policy of on
preston. The Duma was divided and
helpless. Strikes were spreading.
Ihere were serious riots in st. Peters
burg"
The writer adds:
Few Russians wanted to fight for
the sake of Servia, but when il he
came clear that the Austrian move
was only the prelude to German at
tack on an apparently helpless and
demoralized Russia, the feeling chang
ed in an instant.
The general mobilization made all
Russia realize the situation. The
peasants, the workmen and the strik-
ers of the week before; clerks. stu
dents, teachers and lawyers-a
dropped their work without a murmur
and Joined the ranks"
The drink shops were closed and
all went soberly and sternly expecting
no easy victories and prepared for a
long and hard struggle.
For the first time in his reign the
Russian emperor is cut off now from
those German influences that egged
him on continually to ruinous reaction
His Majesty came out on the balcony
of his palace to greet an immense
throng of his people.
The Duma gave stirring expression
to the nations feeling. The fantasti.
cal reactionary Pouriskevitch actual,
shook hands with his bitter enemy, the
| Cadet leader Milioukov Representa-,
tives of various nntionalities, the
Poles, the Let's, the Libuanians, the
Russian Germans and, most strilsine
of all, the Jews, stood up and declared
whatever they had suffered they
would lay aside their grievances IL
this hour of great trial and fight sid,
! by side with the Russian people. Many
deputies were moved to tears"

SETTLEMENT WORK
AMONG NEGROES IS
PLANNED BY CHURCH
Wesley A. M. E. Zion Purposes
Teaching People Many
Useful Arts

If plans now under consideration
by the officials OF Wesley Union A. M.
e. Zion Church are perfected. when
the new edifice of the congregation
now under course of construction is
completed this church will be the
center of social settlement work
among the colored population of Har-
risburg and vicinity
The Rev. j. Francis Lee this morn
ing telling of the proposed plans for
settlement work said:
The church purposes to conduct
chair Gaining, domestic science, sew
ing, embroidery and home nursing
classes and an emergency clinic.
''lt is our purpose to keep the youth
of our race off the streets during the
evenings and at the same time teach
them some useful and profitable en-
ployment. l will conduct in connec-
ton with my church work, an employ
ment bureau I'm order to supply eff
cient help for the best white fami-
lies of the city.
To Teach Housekeeping
"The green help placed will be
given course in cooking and also in
the ordinary care of children, and in
the rudimentary duties of homekeep-
ing.
while the Capitol Park Commits
sion gave us a fair and equitable price
for our old church, old debts to be
paid, the present high cost of build
ing and the small congregation, nec-
essitates an appeal to the public for
the completion for the work as out
lined. The contracted price for the
building is $4,000, not including win
dows. We rely upon God and n gen.
erous public for our success" conclud-
ed Mr.. Lee.

who cannot spend the time or afford
to go to Philadelphia for it"

frequently come to the State Library
and ask for books on the various sub
