REVOLT NOT BEGUN BY FACTION,
BUT BY CRUELTY TO PEOPLE
DEMANDING FOOD.
FOOD SHORTAGE STARTED IT
Except Where Officers Were Caught
Doing Murder Reactinonaries Met
mprisonment.-The Cars
Farewell Message.

London-A review of the Russian
revolution, forwarded from Petrograd
by diplomatic official, says:
ut would be misconception to be-
lieve that the revolt was started by a
faction or that it was accompanied by
"a great amount of bloodshed and dis
order. The actual trouble began Sat
urday, when citizens gathered to pro-
test against the food shortage. These
good-natured crowds were treated
with great brutality by the govern
ment police, who used machine guns
on the people and afterward on the
soldiers who opposed them.
800 Feel Police Cruelty.
"In the first outbreak 800 people
were killed or wounded by the police.
When the Cossacks were called to aid
the police they fraternized with the
people.
"On March IL the First guard regi-
ment Joined the forces of the pro-
visional government and soon was fol-
lowed virtually by the entire Petro.
grad garrison.
1.-THE incendiarism and disorder at
this time was entirely due to the &C
tions of the police, and the result was
the burning of two police stations and
one prison and the ransacking of
houses, including the home of Baron
Fredericks. Except in cases where the
police were caught in the actual COM
mission of murder all the adherents of
the reactionary party were imprisoned,
but not shot.

successful In eluding the submarines
were probably but chance travellers IN
the path Of waiting submarines wait
ing for other prey, Practically the en-
tire undersea fleet of the German empire
is concentrated now against British com
merce and against transports carrying
American soldiers TO the western war
front, showing .ot only that the Ger
mans have been driven to desperation
against their chief enemy and also that
their U-boat strength is either being
weakened considerably or is not being in
creased so rapidly AS the world has been
led to believe by reports emanating from
German sources. The desperation is ex'
planned by the knowledge that ak
months have elapsed since the campaign
of ruthless destruction of ships was
started, and Great Britain is as yet
showing no signs of being brought to her
knees, as the German threat had 1t that
she would be driven ere many months.
Inc t'Doat campaign mas P'"'NH ~
troublesome TO the British people but 1t
is no wise such smashing blow as Won
Tirpitz claimed it would be. Hence the
desperation of the German admiralty, the
German government and the German
people, the last-named of whom are no
doubt clamoring for results now that the
campaign has ranged the whole world,
practically, against Germany. To get
Great Britain would mean, according to !
the German theory, the ending of the
war in favor of Germany. But Great
Britain refuses to be gotten, either by |
submarine, airplane, warships or idle
threat. There are strong indications
that Germany's last trump" the u
boats, is failing miserably to accomplish
the object so ardently desired by all Ger
mans.

The turning of the guns of the artil-
lery arm of the service on Russian in
fantry is indeed the "blood and IRON
policy which Premier Kerensky declared
would be followed out if there were con-
tinued defections on the part of the
army. 1t is probable that the Petrograd
report of whole division of traitorous
troops being annihilated by the gnnfire
may be taken to be somewhat of an ex-
aggeration utilized more for its moral
influence on other soldiers; but it is new
ertheless a most serious situation when
such drastic measures have to be resort
ed to. Soft discipline has failed com
pletely in the Russian army under the
revolutionary government, and a blood
and iron policy seems to be necessary if
Russia is to be saved from the slough of
complete defeat, followed by being
forced to sue for peace. Russians here
tofore have been described by some peo-
pie as good fighters but as poorly led in
battle. 1t remains TO be seen whether
the Characterization was accurate and.
too. if they have any love Of that father
land in whose defense the council Of sol
diers', workmen's and peasants deputies

CURRENT COMMENT
Outing Discovers Vermont.

Through the efforts of John P. Tay.
lor of the Green Mountain club, an in
teresting, well-illustrated article on
Vermont trails appears in the current
issue of Outing, written by Mr.. Little
of the editorial staff of that magazine.
Having observed the Outing map
which featured mountain trails of adj
acent states, Mr.. Taylor wrote to the
editor, asking what was the matter
with the Green mountains. The re-
suit was trip over the Long Trail by
Mr.. Little accompanied by Mr.. Taylor.
Mr.. Little is an experienced trail
hitter, and, while he praised Smugglers'
Notch, Mount Mansfield and Cancels
Hump, and wrote entertainingly OF their
well kept trails. he was most impressed
with Vermont griddle cakes and Yer
mont maple syrup, first brought to his
attention by the indefatigable Taylor
What Dr. Paris, Mr.. Taylor, Prof. Mon.
roe and Others are doing for Mansfield
and Cancels Hump, the Rutland section
of the Green Mountain club is doing
for Killington, destined to be one of the
most important links in the chain of
trails from Canada line to Pownal.
The recent erection of a hedgehog
marked improvement of the beers Leap
proof shelter on the mountain and the
Pico- Killington trail are visible evidences
of what Rutland is doing.
With another summer of such work,
the progress toward an unbroken trail,
falong the skyline of Vermont" will
be very important, and mixers from ev
erywhere will find the trip, with highway
breaks if desired, a most fascinating part
of the summer outing.-Rutland Herald.

If Holland gets any satisfaction out Of
the United States government as the re-
suit of the prospective visit of COM
mission of her citizens to Washington,
then it will come about only after a
solemn promise has been given that all
the foodstuffs and other articles which
may be consigned to Holland from the
United States will not surrepttiously
find their way into German hands. 1t is
an anomalous position for the United
States to be in-the position of fighting
Germany and at the same time feeding
her. In receiving the Dutch commission
cordially, the representatives of the
United States WILL of course, enter upon
the negotiations as men cognizant of hui
man frailties whether in the United
States or Holland; they will know that
the desire for gain, personal and nation
al, actuates great many people, no
matter under what conditions the gain
be sought. There is no doubt that the
United States would be willing to send
foodstuffs and other articles to Holland
if there were absolute certainty that
only Holland would be served thereby.

1t is not likely that the men of the

depressing summer weather than that of
the present week, when they reach their
training camp at Charlotte, N. C. In
fact, by September when they are ex-
pected to get settled in their new loca-

Carolina should be considerable of an
improvement over this sweltering atmos-
pheric condition. The hardships of mill
tary life in summer cannot be much
more severe than they have been during

COLLEGE ATHLETICS
TO BE FORMULATED
Executive Committee of National Col
legiate Athletic Association to Dis
cuss What Form Athletics Shall
Take the Coming Year.

New York, July 27.-While the cx'
ecutive committee Of the National Cole
giate Athletic association holds only All
advisory position in its relations with
the individual members of the associa-
tion, the result Of the coming confer.
ences 10 consider the status of college
sports during the war will have a far
reaching effect on interyarsity athletics.
The organization, with membership Of
close TO 200 of the leading colleges and
universities of the country, includes on
its roster the names of all the principal
institutions and sectional groups.
As a result the conference at Wash.
ington on Aug. 2 will in reality be a
gathering of the athletic authorities of
the universities and colleges of the coun-
try for national varsity expression Of
opinion regarding what form, if any, col
lege athletics shall take during the com
ing collegiate year. Ii is quite evident
from various forecasts of individual SEN
timent among the prospective delegates
that there is TO be wide difference of
opinion upon this subject and it would
not be surprising if the discussion was
both lengthy and complex.
Sectional sentiment is certain to have
an important bearing on the attitude of
the various delegates. Considered broad
ly the Middle and Far West may be said
to be in favor of a continuation of inter
varsity sport, even though limited by
certain restrictions deemed necessary in
view of war conditions. In the East
there is not the same unanimity of opin-
ion on this point. If the mere number
of colleges were TO be considered, il is
probable that those in favor of continu-
ing athletics would be found to be in the
Those institutions which are opposed
to this course, however, include several
of the largest and oldest in the country
and the absence of their so-ealled class
ic" intervarsity contests is expected in
some quarters to set a fashion which will
have decided effect upon all forms of
competition. Cornell and |
Pennsylvania are believed to support a
continuation of sport, while Harvard, I
Yale and Princeton are opposed so far as
varsity football is concerned, at least, !
and it win be on this game, the most
popular of all college contests, that the |
BATTLE Of opinions viii wage.
Football is not, however, the only var
,ity sport which will be discussed The
conference may decide to what extent
baseball, rowing, track athletics and 9TH
r outdoor sports should be provided for
iext spring, while winter competition
n basketball, hockey, wrestling, gym
astics, etc, viii also be considered The
question of abandoning, temporarily at
east, the one-year and the freshman
ules will come up Tor discussion and it
5 possible that any recommendations
made by the executive committee of the
I. G. A. A. will carry much weight with
he numerous colleges holding member
hip in the organization.
