Russia is a huge machine that works
badly"
If so. 1t is only working little
worse than usual, and that on account
OF the transition. Neither the republic
nor socialism has had a fair chance, or
any kind of q chance. at making
things go industrially better. My crit
1clsm of the Workmen is that they
might be little less demandful; they
might try to make things go forward
until the war is finished. But they.
too, are simply not interested in the
war. And there is no use expecting
an interest where it does not exist.
Misconceived ideas of liberty, locally
expressed, have also interfered with
the lumberings Of the machine Some
Of these misconceived ideas bear very
unpleasant resemblance to anarchy and
scare even the hopeful Russians. An
incident that has just happened at
Tsartfsin makes one think. The gar
rison OF troops there voted for itself
100000 roubles, and proceeded to COL
lect, or force payment, by holding up
the boats on the Volga proceeding
northward with the all-necessary flour
them no? They might be disbanded
and told to go home. But would they
go home? The situation is not simple.
incidents of similar character are
happening constantly throughout the
country, but they are not related in
any way. One does not lead to am
other. They seem to be the sponta-
neous outbreakings due to the queer
personal twists given to the idea Of
liberty.
The present condition of Russia is
not due to its liberty or to the revolu-
ton, but to the stagnant condition that
existed before, plus demand for peace

there for the untimely fraternizing
done here.
But no one wants to think for a sin
gle second that the Russian soldier IN
tended to do his western allies any
harm. There was nothing but benevo-
lence In his heart If it was fault, 1t
was the fault of generous nature,
and. though I for one will be frank
enough to say that I cannot forgive it,
on account of it's terrible results, l can
at least understand it and explain it.
OF course. the French and English
troops know where those extra German
divisions came from. and how they hap
pened to be free to come. Let us hope
they did not take it too unkindly.
Whether they did or not, certainly the
Russian soldiers, If the circumstances
had been reversed. would not have talk
en- it hard. And this, j consider, very
important consideration.
If. for example, internal conditions in
France had weakened the fighting
front. SO that the Germans could have
sent thirty or forty fresh divisions
against the Russians. the Russians
would have done the best they could
with them. and would have borne no
grudge Such is the Russian nature.
To uss their own constant phrase, cit
could not be helped"
Do Not Get Excited.
I saw this spirit beautifully exem-
plified recently at the congress of the
Black sea fleet. The Serbian minister.
addressing the meeting. spoke out his
heartfelt thoughts about the POSSIBLE
tiles of a separate Russian peace.
Before I could tell my people of such
an act" he said, let me call it such a
treason, would shoot myself"
Immediately from all the benches
went up soothing. drawing cry:
You won't have to shoot yourself.
"a ad
There won't be any treason. There
won't be any separate peace. There,
there. now; take 1t easier, old chap.
We're not going to betray Serbia or
anybody else. Just take it easy"
I must admit the Russians take lit
SO easy it is enough to excite a Ser
bian minister who thinks of his lost
country, but the last thing to do is
to get angry about it. For it is no
body's fault 1t is the combination of
circumstances The whole story is in
the simple giant who is fond Of sun
flower seeds. He has no grasp of
world politics. He cannot even Wis
ualize Germany as beleag uered coun-
try. He just does not want to fight
any more, and if he starts a real Of
fensive against the Germans it will be
from realized sense of duty, and very
decidedly against his inclinations AS
one soldier explained:
Life used to be pretty hard in this
country. There was not very much to
make US want to live. But. now we
are free. life is worth while. We don't
want to go and get killed now"
An officer. explaining the mood OF his
troops, said to me:
My troops have been folding away
at the same old tune for three years
now, and just as every one cries, Let's
go swimming we say, But here's
lovely new fiddle; go on fiddling."
The simple giant is an amiabley gen
erous fellow. too. and he wants to share
his new-found liberty with his neigh
bors. He was much too simple and
kindly even to suspect the cold cynicism
with which the Germans were allowed
by their officers to "fraternize."
