ONLY A DICTATOR

PETROGRAD, June S.-Russia
is hanging in the balance between
czarism and mobism. America
and the allies must face the facts
squarely. Under present condi-
lions Russia will not fight.
Conditions may change. There
Is a possibility that order may
come out of the governmental
chaos. There is nothing today to
indicate It's approach.
No man strong enough to con-
troll has yet grasped the Russian
helm. Minister of War Kernesky,
on whom hope has conferred, Is,
despite Ill health, working day
and night. But even his speeches
and interviews have, within the
past week, sounded a note of pes
simism.
A meeting of bankers and bust
ness men today crystsiized the
first reaction against mob rule.
Five hundred conservative men,
unallied with the autocratic re-
gime, were there. Admittance
was by card only.
The sense of the meeting was
voiced by a speaker in the declara-
ton 1--WE were formerly mastered
by czarism, now it is mobism that
masters u.s."
Collective Masters.
None but a dictator can now re-
store discipline and stir the Rus
sian troops into a renewed often
sive. No man has yet dared as
sumo the power. The Workmen's
and Soldiers Council absolutely
dominates the situation.
President Tscheidze with his
colleagues are the collective mas
tiers of Russia.
They openly declare the present
war is 'imperialistic." All at
tempts to convert them to the idea
that Russia must fight German
autocracy to retain the new demo-
cracy here have failed.
They will oppose Russia's fight
ing participation until what they
term the ''allies' imperialistic
aims" are announced. They in
sist that publication of allied
peace aims free from imperiaiistic
demands would bring immediate
peace.
Betrays Pessimism.
They furnish no explanation for
their belief that Germany will
abandon her own imperialistlc
aims.
Minister of War Kerensky's
health is very bad. The magni-
tude of his task is plainly wearing
down his fighting force. His re-
cent speech before the Work
mems and Soldiers Council on his
return from the front betrayed
this fact.

Mystery Solved

1.-THE good glass; | knew, could
have reference to nothing but a
telescope; for the word glass is
rarely employed in any other sense
by seamen. Now here, | at once
saw, was a telescope to be used,
and definite point OF view, ad-
hitting no variation, from which
to use 1t. Nor did l hesitate to be-
lieve that the phrase 'forty-one de-
grees and thirteen minutes and
northeast and by north" we're in
tended as directions for the level
ing of the glass. Greatly excited
by these discoveries, hurried
home, procured a telescope, and
returned to the rock.
81 let myself down to the ledge,
and found that 1t was impossible
to retain a seat upon 1t except in
one particular position. This fact
confirmed my preconceived idea. l
proceeded to use the glass. OF
course, the 'forty-one degrees and
thirteen minutes could allude to
nothing but elevations above the
visible horizon, since the horizon
tai direction was clearly indicated
by the words northeast an dby
north. This latter direction I at
once established by means OF a
pocket compass; then, pointing the
glass as nearly at an angle of
forty-One degrees of elevation as I
could guess, | moved it cautiously
up or down, until my attention
was arrested by circular rift or
opening in the foliage of large
tree that overtopped it's fellows In
the distance. In the center of this
rift | perceived a white spot, but
could not, at first, distinguish
what 1t was. Adjusting the focus
OF the telescope, I again looked,
and now made it out to be a hui
man skull"
Upon this discovery was SO
sanguine as to consider the enigma
solved; for the phrase main
branch, seventh limb, east side,
could refer only to the position OF
the skull upon the tree, while

organized armies to victory under
n dictatorship like that which
BOnaparte created in France 11S
years ago, is the growing convic-
ton of students of Russian affairs
In Washington who are alive TO
the lessons of history.
Conviction that Kerensky will
be the Russian Napoleon is no
fanciful surmise, but the reasoned
conclusion OF scholars who be-
lieve the development of leaders
is shaped by the unacceptable cur
rent of great events.
They see in Russia precisely the
conditions that existed in France
following the revolution and rea-
son its outcome must be at least
similar.
Parallel Conditions
In 1899 the French directory,
which occupied a position analag-
Gus to the Russian provisional
government, had lost the power
which it once possessed over the
French people.
| France was surrounded by
enemies. The French treasury had
run dry. The army was starving
and disorganized. Like the Rus
sian army it had thrown off the
old discipline and soldiers were
deserting by thousands.
Peace agitation filled the air.
Weary with long struggle and
feeling its independence was safe
ly guarded by the Rhine and the
Alps, the nation longed for peace.
The directory knew peace would
be suicidal but was powerless to
continue aggressive warfare until
as last resort Napoleon was
placed In charge of the armies oil
France just as Kerensky was
named to command the armies oil

Men Much Alike.
Like Kerensky, Napoleon haG

republican essays. were written In
the same temper and with as great
earnestness as the fiery speeches

Looking alike at the properties already

solute values. At every stage the child
should be encouraged to pursue his
hobby as intensively as time and chance
permit. Some hobbies will last but q
short time; others mag last into the
ripper years. But In any case these
represent interests that carry with
them motives for application and effort
and sacrifice, and they carry with them
stimulation and recreation that are no
where else to be found.
The selection Of a hobby, like the Sc

Mr.. Stewart withdrew from active par

that he had enough money and when
his family thought that he needed a

the old gentleman became very uneasy

and as he could not think of anything
else to do he moped around, extending
his own misery to those about him.
Cases of this kind are common enough,
and in large proportion Of them the
man does return to his old affairs, there
to remain to the end. But in other
cases there is too much opposition from
those who look upon work as hard

Many a business man before reach
ing this stage is merely tired. But why
should the business man be more tired
than other people? He does not work
any harder than the professional man
or the artisan. And the others prob
ably are doing their share Of the wOr-
