ernment * extremely efficient, ener.
getic and decisive, although forced by
noisy opposition from the privileged
classes who are doing all they can To
check il by sabotage and libel, accord
ing to the Petrograd correspondent Of
the Daily News.
The correspondent. who has just re-
turned to Petrograd after lengthy
visit to England, says that the city Is
more orderly than for some months
before the bolsheviki took control. The
people may not like the bolsheviki he
declares. but they obey them with
startling alacrity and the government
is based on real force.
The constituent assembly. the CORE
spondent hears, will meet as soon as
delegates from the Ukraine arrive. per
haps within Ten days. He asserts that
whatever is the decision of the assem-
bly,. as constituted at present, 1t will
not alter the essential decision of Rus
sian policy. although IL might. by weak
ening the government at home. weaken
II in its dealings with the Germans.
Anarchy Would Result.
ANY attempt TO turn out the bolshevik
government by fohce would result
only in anarchy favorable to the Ger
mans, says the correspondent. who does
not believe that such force is available.
He writes enthusiastically about Leon
Trotzky. the bolshevik foreign minister,
who told him that the war would be
decided by social rather than military
pressure Trotzky Is quoted as saying:
The German democracy looks to the
Russian revolution. II is the recogni
ton of this fact that compels the Ger
man government to accept Russian prin-
ciples as the basis for negotiations.
Claims Democratic Victory.
Trotzky said the German offer was
victory for the democratic movement
generally, not only of the Russian. but
German democracy. Austria-Hungary,
he said is on the point of revolt, and
every country in Europe is feeling the
pressure Of democracy from below. The
German attitude. Trotzky said, means
that the German government is wiser
than most governments. because it rec
ognizes real factors.
Democratic pressure. Trotzky is
quoted as adding, forced the Germans
to reject their grandiose plans of con-
quest and to accept the peace in which
there is neither conqueror nor con-
quered. He admitted. however, that
such a peace could hardly be achieved
unless the. entente allies join the boil
sheviki
Pro-Russians. the correspondent of
the Daily News continues, feel that Ger
many's terms offered at Brest Litovsk
were for the purpose of confounding the
allies and winning sympathy. These
Russians oppose a separate peace, but
say the next word belongs to the allies.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
1.-THE Little Cafe" at Barre Opera House
Next Wednesday.

''The Little Cafe" which for over a
year has been acclaimed as the musical
COMEDY par excellence, statement which
must be considered seriously when it is
considered that it ran for nearly a year
on Broadway, comes to the opera house
next Wednesday, Feb. 2s, with its origi-
nal company of so people. Moreover, it
comes with its original cast, something
to be appreciated in these days when
musical comedy stars are reluctant to
leave the metropolis of the east. "The
Little Cafe" is said to inspire the in
toxicating wines of music; it is laughter
set to song and when the authors, c. NJ.
S. Mcclellan and Ivan Caryall, are con-
sidered the assertion must be given some
weight, for not since the days of Gill
bert and Sullivan has any combination
of two men arisen to don the mantle of
delicate drollery, foolery and haunting
melody as these two.
The piece is an adaptation of Tristan
Bernard's rollcking French fare, ia
Petit Cafe" but it has none of that
French nastiness which invariably is
considered by theatregoers part of French
comedies. 1t is musical comedy con-
structed by experts-a delft, finished
evenings entertainment, filled with
bright. catchy melodies, much droll fool
ing and sumptuous superstructure of
pretty women and beautiful gowns

TUNBRIDGE
Accident in Woods Nearly Proved Fatal
to Henry Alexander.

IA. A. Salter, who has been very i'll foi
more than four weeks, is making prog
ress toward recovery. Pneumonia was
followed by many complications and two
operations for removal of fluid from the
chest were performed. The trained
nurse, Miss Mae Graf of Burlington,
was called to Montreal Monday by the
death of a sister. W. II. Ballou succeed
ed her in the care of Mr.. Salter.
On Tuesday about 20 men and five
teams gathered in the woodlot of H. A.
Salter, cut and drew substantial wood
pile. The early operations were marked
with what came near being a very Sc
rious accident. Henry Alexander chopped
off large limb which had several small
er branches embedded in the snow, and
when the limb was released it delivered
severe catapult blow, striking him
in the chest. He was unconscious and
thought dead for a moment. He revived,
however, and after time was able to
walk the half mile or more to the house
Some time will elapse before the exact
extent of his injuries is determined.

Any Corn Will Dry Up and Lift Out
Says a Cincinnati
Authority

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn, instantly relieves
soreness, and soon the entire corn, root
and all, lifts out without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the corn
without infaming or even irritating the
surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an ounce
obtained at any drug store will cost
very little but is sufficient to rerdove
every hard or soft corn or callous from
ones foot, Cut this out, especially if you
are woman reader who wears high
heels.--Adv.

SEVEN WONDERS OF TODAY.
They viii Probably Become tho Com
nnonplaces Of Tomorrow.

nonpIaces Of Tomorrow.
Not great many years ago spec
tacled and skeptical old sciel~ist wrote
a long thesis in which he cluimed that
the worlds great discoveries all lay iii
the past, that the future had no new
wonders to disclose and that all the
I really fundamental inventions, discov.
cries and researches had already been
made.
For" said the pessimistic philoso-
pher, there are no more strange lands
! to explore, no more conceivable inven-
! lions for the benefit Of mankind. The
telegraph, electric light, telephone and
electric motor are already here. The
camera and microscope. telescope and
linotype, printing press and sewing
machine, airship and steamboat are
already discovered. What else is there
left that Is really newi"
But Mother Nature seemed 10 have
kept her most wonderful secrets for
just such an occasion. As If deliber-
ately to disprove the foolish scientist
the next ten years brought out the
most astounding collection Of new in
ventions and discoveries the world has
ever known, for, in the period imme-
diately following the bold claim of this
doubling Thomas, Hertz discovered
electric waves. Marconi invented wire
less telegraphy. Roentgen stumbled
upon the Y ray, Nine. Curie isolated
radium. Sir William Ramsay found
five new chemical elements, Edison
made his first moving picture machine,
the Wright brothers conquered the air,
and countless greater or lesser discov-
cries astounded the scientific world.
So the seven great wonders Of today
will become the commonplace of to-
morrow. S. Newman in St Mich
olas.
