What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

be no doubt but that the car has b.
gun at least partly to realize how far
the bureaucracy Is responsible for
Russia's present plight. But, it does
not follow that the car must turn to
the new democracy as the only altern
ative to bureaucratic government
He may try to reassert his own
autocratic powers which have been
largely undermined by the bureaucrats.
1t is probable, in fact, he is doing this
very thing and is counting On the sup
port of the peasants, who hitherto
have been almost fanatically loyal TO
the little father" Such an attitude
on the part of the czar would be ac-
ceptable for the moment to the bur-
eaucracy, as tending to hold the liber-
ais in check.
But the czar cannot continue to play
the absolutist If his armies are unable
to withstand the teutonic offensives.
The undoubted fact that there has
been a stiffening of the Slav resistance
since the car succeeded the Grand
Duke Nicholas, has favored his ma.
jesty's probable pretensions. The lib.
erals would be vastly assisted in thei-
fight If Petrograd were to be seriously
threatened by Won Hindenburg.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The fight to
liberalize Russia has begun. Premier
Goremykin apparently has decided
the reforms urged by the duma shall
not be granted and the Slav progress
sives cannot now hope to obtain their
demands through the voluntary retire
ment of the reactionaries.
M. Goremykin has Just returned to
Petrograd from field headquarters,
where he went to explain the dumas
reform program to the czar. Stimuli
toneously with his return, it is an
nounced at Petrograd, that the govern
ment considers the dumas broad de-
mand for reform as untimely. The
government" in Russia always means
the bureaucracy. Sometimes it means
the czar as well, and sometimes it does
not. The presumption is that in the
present case the government in
cludes the czar. M. Goremykin
seems to have won the czar away from
the progressive movement, temporar-
lily at least. But the next man to get
the cars ear may undo NJ. Goremy-
kin's work. Especially may this happen
If the teutonic armies continue to press
forward against the Slavs. There can

chorus together and cite Ida's case as
an example. It may save some other
girl who is too anxious for good
time after the show"
Mrs. Brown leaned forward into her
husbands arms and supported by her
twenty year old son, Rufus, who had
accompanied her from New York, Was
carried into a carriage. Halt hysterf-
cal, she was driven to her old home,
where funeral services for the little
girl were held this afternoon. Her
body was buried in rural grave
yard Her last request, when die,
want red roses on my grave" was
complied with.
Ida Browns case was the old, old
story. She was bred in this little
town of less than 10000, where her
beauty was admired and where church
choir directors assured her she had a
grand voice." Before she reached high
school she was ambitious for the
stage.
Mrs. Brown at first tried to discour
age her. Ida was popular among her
school mates and had plenty of "fel-
lows" Her mother tried in vain to
steer her into course Of fatrimony.

came known today for the Pan-Amerf

Out and out recognition Of Carran-

BERLIN, (vla wireless TO sayviiie),
Sept, 15.-ln reaching its conclusion
that the Hesperlan was mined and not

narded tho alleged statement Of . sur
vivor that ne saw submarine just be-
fore an explosion wrecked the liner.
This statement appeared In London

that submarine could have been Wis
Ible. Of7ctaIs also remarked that IN

The admiralty today had not re-
ceived the report from the only sub
marine commander still missing who
WAS 1t sea on the date tho Hesperian

dance that his report will confirm the
statement that the liner was mined
and not torpedoed. The fact that no
German submarine was on duty In the
waters where the HesperIan was sunk
and that the explosion occurred near
the bow, convinced the admiralty that
the liner struck mine.
