RUSSIA NOW ABANDONS
PROSECUTION OF GORKY
Government Finally Lifts Ban on
Noted Socialist Author, Who
Has Joined Army.
BY Webster.

PETROGRAD. via London, February
22.-The prosecution instituted against
Maxim Gorky, the author. several years
ago for his socialistic anti-government
propaganda, which necessitated his
self-exile for several years, has been
abandoned definitely.
Maxim Gorky's restoration to the
good graces of the Russian government
comes after a long period of years,
authorities. He returned to Russia
about d year ago, after eight years of
exile. He was included in an amnesty
conceded by Emperor Nicholas in 1913.
but declined to avail himself of it, and
did not return to his native land until
failing health and a longing to see his
country caused him to go back.
The career of the realistic novelist
and revolutionary propagandist has
been a stormy one almost since his
birth in 1868. He is the son of a poor
upholsterer. Left an orphan at five, he
ran away from the man to whom he
was apprenticed and thereafter shifted
for himself.
NJ Gorky has been imprisoned sew
eral times on account of his alleged
seditious utterances. in 1906 he was
charged by the Russian government
with fomenting anti-Russian revolu
tionary movements abroad and in 1909,
when he was living in italy, his arrest
was ordered by the Russian govern
ment. He was suffering from tuber-
culosis when he returned to Russia, but
later was said to have recovered.
Last September it was reported that
he was serving as d private with the
Russian army in Galicia.

Would Hurt Commerce.

In the article Mr.. Houston has pre-
pared he says, in part:
"Of course. the one apparently strong
and valid reason against such economic
pressure is that it would bring great
loss to the commerce of the nations
applying it. But that loss would be
far less than the loss brought by war.
And there would be no loss whatever
if war were avoided. Still to one be-
holding the wheels of his factory whir-
ring with overtime work brought by
war contracts: to the farmer enchanted
with the magic of dollar wheat and
to those especially affected by mount
ing export balances, an economic pres
sure that resulted in smaller trade
will seem an astonishing and absurd
measure to adopt. unless we are utter
ly bereft of our senses.
"But ask the cotton growers who had
their market knocked out from under
them by war: consider the virtual
moratorium with the exchanges closed.
bringing an incalcula BILE loss in shrink
business: listen to the poignant hu-
man appeal on bundle days and from
countrywide unemployment, forecast
ing bread lines of unprecedented
length: at least one must grant that
the shield of Mars has two sides. And
it always has had two sides. But the
FURNISHED side is not that which re-
fleets the ghastly image of war.
In time of war why shouldn't the
world prepare for peace? OF course.
peace will come, soon or late, and it
may be lasting if it is wisely safe
guarded.

The district attorney sought access to
the books of the brokers to ascertain
whether the price of wheat was due to

to speculation. In addition, he is seek
