Every one knew who these men We're.

and the government was afraid 70 touGh
them. After the last occasion when, at
their behest, the BolShevikjs went out
and shot up Petrograd. Lenine. the arch
leader and some of his principal gang
sters deemed il the part Of discretion
to retire from Russia temporarily, and
they got TO Sweden without the slight

made to stop them. Some OF the minor
employees Of the kaiser were arrested,
among them woman in whose name

colonel saying that he would be In
Moscow the next morning.
And what do you think happened
to that train my daughter was to have
taken?' he asked. 1t was the regular
night express to Petrograd. correspond
ing somewhat to the Congressional
Limited between New York and Wash
ington.
Train Stopped for Fight.
4 few miles out Of Moscow a differ
ence arose between the engineer and
the stoker. and IN order TO settle 1t
they stopped the train and had night.
one of the men hit the other on the
him pretty badly. Authority of some
kind stepped IN and arrested the as
sailant. The engine cab was blood
stained. and authority unhitched the
engine and sent it back to Moscow as
evidence. The train all this time. with
its hundreds OF passengers. stood on
the tracks waiting for a new engine
and crew, and II II was not run into
and wrecked 1t was because 1t was
lucky.
About the middle Of August an Amer
lean correspondent Travelled on that
same express train from Petrograd to
Moscow. The night was warm. and as
the Russian occupants of his carriage
had the usual constitutional objection
to raised windows, he insisted on leaV-
ing the door of the compartment open.
In the middle Of the night band of
soldiers boarded the train and went
into every one of the unlocked COM
partments. five in all, neatly and silent
ly looting them of all bags and suit
cases. The American correspondent lost
everything he possessed-extra clothes.
money. passports. papers. There was
a Russian staff officer in that compart-
ment and he lost even the clothes he
travelled in. and was obliged to descend
in his pa jamas. The conductor of the
train admitted that he saw the robbery
committed that he raised no hand to
prevent 1t, or even pressed the signal
which would have stopped the train.
They would have killed me- he plead

large scale
There is only one way of getting at
the facts of the Russian situation, and
that IS by living as the Russians do, as
sociating with Russians, hearing their
stories day by day of the tragedy of
what has been called the bloodless
revolution. This | did, as nearly as 1t

Newspapers Suppress News.

One of the modest demands put forth
by the Tavarishi (comrades) when |
vas in fetrograd was for requis;tion
OF all the white print paper in the
market. the paper to be distributed
equally among all newspapers large and
small The object, CandidIy stated, was
70 diminish the size and the circula-
ton of the bourgeois" papers.
\ great deal of news. as we regard
all. or is compressed into very small
space. For example. there have been
number of terrible railroad accidents
on the Russian roads lately Most OF
these yoQ never hear of unless some
one you know happens to be killed or
injured. Sometimes a bare announce
ment Of great fatality is permitted
Thus an express train between Moscow
and Petrograd was recently wrecked,
forty persons being killed and more
than seventy injured. This wreck got
a whole paragraph in the newspapers
with no list of the dead and injured
and no explanation of the cause The
fact is that the railroads are in con-
dition of complete Generalization and
the only wonder is that more wrecks
do not occur

Germany knows that the road to Petro-
grad is clear before her armies. Why
should we conceal the fact? The Ger
man people know that their armies are
black earth Of southern Russia. Why
shouldn't our people know it? They
viii have to know II n little later when
famine begins to grip Petrograd. The
GermanS know that the numbering of
officers and the massacre of loyal sol
diers is st.ll going on. We ought to
know it, too.
There are several reasons why the
whole truth has not yet been written
about the Russian revolution. It cannot
be written or cabled from Russia 1t
cannot be carried out in the form of
notes or photographs. It cannot even
who goes to Russia, because the ave.
age visitor lives at the expensive Hotel
dEurope, never goes out except In a
drosky, and meets only Russians of So
cial position to whom he has letters of
Introduction, and who naturally try to
give him the impression that the trou-
bled state of affairs is merely tempo
rary.
The visitor usually knows no Russian
and cannot read the newspapers. There
are two good French newspapers pub
Hshed in Petrograd but the average
American traveller is as ignorant of
french s of Russian. Even if he could
read all the daily papers, however he
would not get very much Information.
The press censorship is as rigid and as
tNrannical today as in che heyday of the
altocracy. only different kind OF news

In Petrograd l lived in the Hotel
Militaire. formerly the Astoria, the
headquarters of Russian officers and of
the numerous English, French and Ru-
manian officers on missions in Russia.
This was the hotel where the bttterest
fighting took place during the revolu-

had to be replaced. and the work OF
renovating the interior was still going
on when I left. Under the window in
my bedroom was a pool of dried blood
as big as saucer. and the carpet was
stained with drops leading from the
window to the stationary washbowl in
the alcove dressing room. Over the
bed were two bullet holes.

INTERESTS AND is.
LEAVING FOR STATES

After ten years spent in the laundry
business in Honolulu, Joseph Cox Ra.
pier has sold out his laundry Interests
and win leave for the mainland on the
next Great Northern. During his stay
here he has built up. the business Of
the Young Hotel Laundry and brought
its equipment and service to present
efficiency.
Seventeen years ago Rapier went to
Burlington, Iowa, for the purpose of
installing and operating new machin-
cry for the New Method Laundry at
that place. An article was at that
time, November Is, 1899, published in
the Burlington Saturday Evening Post,
giving an account of his arrival, which
said in part: y. Cox 'Rapier arrived
I'M Burlington Monday for the purpose
of installing new machinery for the
New Method Laundry. He came direct
from New Orleans, where he remained
a year for a large laundry, after plac.
ing it in complete running order He
is an expert at the practical part OF
the laundry business, having in the
past few years installed complete
plants in the City of Mexico, London,
Berlin and other large cities. He will
remain here for three months for the
purpose of teaching the employees of
the laundry all about the new ma
chinery."
