there are sometimes good wars and

"This war IS q blessing because it
has demonstrated that our civilization
Has based on lies. Otherwise il could not

set Russia free from tyranny and she
has become q aation. Il has been a
blessing to France. She has become a
nation OF cynlcs and sensualists. She
was virtually without a Church. II

the ticket chopper, who tried TO stop
him. and was captured only when he

while waiting FOR trains. Yesterday
Detectives Stephen j. Sullivan and Al
bert Buchanan were stationed there.
Sullivan pretended TO fall asleep on a
bench. while Buchanan hid in tool

has been carried out. Lokeren. Rotse-

5000 marks because their authorities

London. Oct 12.-The prorogation Of
the Russian Duma. according TO ac-
counts that have reached London from
members % the Octobrist and Pro-
cressive parties. was one OF the Sc
yercst tests which representative gov
crnment ia Russia has met since i.
came into being Only the sheer patri-
otism of the men who guided the ma
jority in that body prevented the pro-
rogaton from becoming n disaster Of
farreaching import. At one time
general strike in all the factories sup
plying the army was threat'ned-a
strike which would have left the army
practically helpless.
An account of the crisis, coming
from a member Of the Progressive
group. says:
"The Dlma. conscious that TIE nation
for once was united behind it, aston
'sned every one by the thoroughness
and fraukness with which il attacked
in a hundred speeches the problems

be a different sort Of Duma from those
which had preceded it.

history

while disun.ted the Duma was
weak. But things began TO assume a
very different aspect when Miliukov,
leader OF the Cadets, and Guchkov,
leader Of the Octobrists, working to-
gether, succeeded in forming what was
G. He'd the Progressive bloc. Then, for
the first time, the government was
faced by Duma with the power Of
making itself felt. The majority en-
ioyed by the Progressive bloc was alb
solutely overwhelming.
"The next stage in the story was the
result Of the peculiar character Of the
Rus ian politician. No sooner do any
two Russians agree on anything than
they sit down to draw up a platform
or programme dealing, not only with
the matter in hand, but extending far
afeld to all the subjects upon which
they are able to agree.

sooner had the constituent parties
agreed to unite for their work in the
Duma than, in spite OF the fact that
every man was solely concentrated on
doing what should be done for the
winning of The war, they met to elabo.
rate a serious programme. which
should show all the subjects on which
they were agreed
They produced programme en-

such untimely matters ne the reform
