Nlsh. Sept. After countless de-

That this expedition should have

RIGID MEASURES
LONG PREDICTED
Proroguing Of Duma and Labor
Conditions Have Led 10
MANY UprisingS.

Petrogrnd. Oct 17.-An imperial
ukase has been issued prociaiming a
state Of war" in Moscow and the Mos
COW district.
On the eve OF the dag set for the re-
assembly OF the Duma the popular
demonstrations that have made meas
ures so stringent necessary in Russia
seem 10 have a political as well IS an
economic significance. For the last few
months disorders Of great proportions
have occurred in Moscow, but not until
the present day has the government
been obliged 70 put the military IN con
troll
These troubles. Petrograd reports
said. were due TO labor conditions, TO
the strikes, which threw many persons
ont Of work. and we're not traceable to
political conditions. Some Of the riots
assumed formidable proportions. IN
June damage estimated at nearly $ZO,-
100000 was done 10 property.
Threats of similar uprisings were
made on September is, when the Car
piorogued the Duma. So strong did
popular feeling in Moscow run at that
time that Premier Goremykin con-
ferred with the military and civil au-
thorities to forestall popular demon,
strations. But the excitement quieted
down without the compulsion Of se-
we're measures.
Since then the agitation for govern
mental reform has been growing. one
week after the Duma was prorogued
the Zemstvo Congress met In Moscow
and declared that the reassembly OF
the Duma and the reconstruction of
the cabinet were vitality necessary Two
cabinet changes were made fortnight
ago, but 10 the important post or MIN
ister of the Interior leader OF the
reactionary wing Of the Duma was APP
pointed.
Since then there have come from
Russia rumors Of a gathering storm,
centring in Moscow and Petrograd. On
September 27. said one OF these re-
ports, the rioting in Moscow became so
severe that the police built barbados
in the streets, and in the fighting that
ensued -enty-fve policemen and elgn'
higher officials were wounded and three
civilians killed and twelve wounded. .,
The munitions scandal, whlcn
crippled the army and snatched VIC
tory from the troops who had swept
through Galician plains to the Car
pathians, has aroused public opinion
in Russia as II has never been stirred
before. Only the prospect that revolt
would still further fortify the Teutons
has suppressed revolt. This feeling has
been made more serious by the con-
tinued dissatisfaction Of the laborlns
classes.
Moscow during the last fifteen years
has drawn from the villages a large
population accustomed TO hand-to
mouth living. It had none Of the
steady qualities of the village FOLK anc
none Of the urban traditions. In thi:
element, where discomfort finds easy
prey. are the germs Of serious disor
ders.

Merrill said. 81 do not mean by that
that the material is not here, but that
we need 20 develop it. II is much easier
to prepare ourselves with arms for de-
fence than it IS to prepare ourselves
for the proper handling Of those arms.
I'VE are overlooking the main feat
ure IN our talk of preparedness. We
think Of nothing but charging our
army and our navy. Have we no inter

that would increase the value Of exter-
nal preparedness
UNLESS the United States decides
that force is secondary to a supported
policy Of morals and honor above
everything, we will miss a great oppor-
tunity TO achieve moral leadership and
influence. i may be right for Chris

be used with extreme care.
