Russia Growing Democratic
As Result Of Wars Demands

Samuel Harper, professor of Euro.
pean history and Russian institutions
at the University Of Chicago and who
has just returned to the United States
after a four mon rs visit to Russia,
says that Russian institutions were be-
coming more democratic since the war
because the bureaus were unable to
handle the vast supplies Of provisions,
clothing and supplies Of all kinds for
the armies in the field and had been
obliged to call in the aid Of the pro-
vincial councils, the zemstsovs, which
are growing in power every day.
1.-THE Russian government" he said,
'is In favor of American capital being
used to build factories there, but part
Of the control must be In Russian
hands. This Is to avoid a repetitio
Of the treatment accorded to the native
working people by the German manu-
facturers before the war. The Ger
mans refused to employ anyone who
did not speak German.

I'd like to be boy again, care-free
prince of Joy again.
I'd like to tread the hills and dales
the way used to do;
I'd like the tattered shirt again. the
Knockers thick with dirt again,
The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago knew.
I'd like to play first base again, and
Sliver's curves to face again.
I'd like to climb, the way I did, a
friendly apple tree,
For, knowing what do today, could
but wander back and play
I'd get full measure of the Joy that
boyhood gave to me.
I'd like to be lad again, young
ster, wild and glad again,
I'd like to sleep and eat again the
way 1 used to do;
I'd like to race and run again and
drain from life it's fun again
And start another round Of JOY the
moment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me,
and often days are glum to me,
And sleep Is not the thing it was
and food is not the same;
And I have sighed and know that l
must journey on again to sigh,
And have stood at envy's point
and heard the voice of shame.
I've learned that joys are fleeting
things; the parting pain each
meeting brings;
That gain and loss are partners
here, and so are smiles and
tears;
That only boys from day to day can
drain and fill the cup of play,
That age must mourn for what Is
3 lost throughout the coming
years.
But boys cannot appreciate their price
less joy until too late
And those who own the charms
had will soon be changed to
men;
And then they, too, will sit, as l, and
backward turn to look and sigh
And share my longing, vain, to be
care-free boy again.-Edgar A
Guest in Detroit Free Press.

characteristics Of Any
Nation Are Displayed in
Naming of Its BattIeships

One of the ways nationalities have
of displaying their peculiarities Is In
the naming of their battleships. The
United States, systematic and bust
nesslike, goes to work and uses up all
he names of it's states to paint on the
sides of it's greyhounds of the sea.
Great Britain self-appointed mis-
tress of the waves, does not propose to
have that majesty challenged. So she
goes ahead and defies the world with
such hair-raising names Of Revenge,
Indomitable, Inflexible, Invincible, I'm
placable, Indefatigable, Victorious,
Glory, Vengeance, Valiant, Conqueror,
Monarch, Thunderer, Colossus, Her
cules, Jupiter, Mars, Caesar, Hannibal,
Lion, Tiger and so on.
names of places-places in the father
land, Of course, thus proclaiming the
characteristic national love of the
home country.
France full of love of freedom and
the things which make for human hap
piness, finds her most characteristic
warship names in words which trans
lated would be Truth, Justice, De-
mocracy, Republic.
Italy, adorer Of her great men in
craftsmanship, war, science and the
arts, names war boats after Cdum-
bus, julius Caesar, Andrea Doria,
Conte di Cavour, Leonardo da Vinci
and Dante Alighieri.
TO be convinced that these customs
of christening are peculiarly national
one needs only to shuttle some of these
names. Imagine US in America stand
ing for battleship named Indefatiga-
BILE. Or imagine the name Of Sweet

PROV Of one Of England's glowering
fortresses Of the sea.-St Paul Pioneer
