soul with the government in their de-
termination to fight the war to
victory, cost what it may. In that
country all sorts of organizations
abound, providing hospitals, ambu-
Iances, refugee homes, feeding stations
and the like. There is no end to their
Iabors. But the government feeds,
clothes and equips its army through
Commissions who deal with industrial
corporations principally, if not en-
tireIy.
In England it is the same. Lloyd
George, upon assuming the post Of
Minister Of Munitions chose as his
battle-cry the Mobilization of In
dustry, which meant that the indust-
rial plants of the land should be or
gained to produce munitions and
other needfuls for the British Army.
In Russia the difference is vast.
Russia is an agricultural nation.
Manufacturing corporations are few
compared to EngIand's vast enter
priscs, or to those of France or Ger
many. Russia is so per cent peasant.
So the peasants got together with
landowners and villagers, forming
the Au-Russian Zcmstyo Union. And
the towns-people and city jewellers get
together in the Al-Russian NUM-
cipality Union, the two getting to-
gether in a Central Committee
volunteer citizen organization, not of
manufacturers, not of commercial
kings, but of rich people, poor people,
gentry and peasants-ofrering their
services gratis to the land.
There is, however, in Russia, an or
ganization resembling Lloyd Georges
mastering of English industry. 1t is
called the War Industry Committee
and is of considerable Importance.
Prior to six years ago there was no
industrial group in Russia. Manu-
facturers worked separately, every
man for himself. But with the com
ing of the Donna, the Russian Con
gress, they felt the need of an or
ganization which would look out for
their joint interests in possible legis-
lation to come. Also a new CONNER
cial treaty with Germany was to be
negotiated in 1914 and here again
Russian industry wished to make it
self heard,

Russia and, under the name of "ThC
Central Committee" are working
might and main to support the army
and the country generally.
The organization composed Of land
ed gentry, peasants and village prop
erty-owners is called the All-Russiar
Zemstvo Union.
But the towns and cities Of Russia
have also organized themselves into
a volunteer salaryless citizens group
to assist the government wage war
their name being the All-Russiar
Municipality Union. And it is this
group which, with the All-Russian
Zemstvo Union, completes the Central
Committee.
The Central Committee, whose
members serve absolutely without
pay, sits Sundays and weekdays in
Petrograd, acting as a coordinate
body, centralizing the work of the
citizens of the whole Empire.
So far as can find out this Com
mittee and these two great All-Rus-
sian Unions combined in it, have no
counterpart anywhere in Europe or in
the world.

the slums. I, for one, was feelin' pretty

stopped all Of sudden, with face as
white as chalk, and says: My friends,

to tell you, but which is also the truth,
is that these settlement-houses are mere

THE stage was filed with a buzzing,

Sprague, herculean and hot, sat in the
center, holding in his great hairy paw a
glass still reeking with aromatic spirits
of ammonia. Miss Shipley lay on a
dingy red couch which had been the

ancient four-poster in a corner.
While attaching the fan Dudley was
conscious, without looking, of figure
sheeted to the chin, thick plat Of hair
falling over one shoulder, and a pair Of
shining, wistful eyes set in an oval face
of alabaster hue. When finally he did
look at her, he received a wan smile.

murmured.
