GENERAL K0RHILOFF NEW
 IDOL OF ALL TIE RUSSIANS
Hero of Successful Offensive In GaIicia Was Born In a
 Log Cabin.

Russia Is ringing with the name of the latest hero of the war, Lieutenant General L. G. Kornilofr, victor of Ga licia, whose astonishing feats first proved that the new advance Is no mere flash in the pan. General Kor- niIoP Is the most daring, chiyalrous and scholarly officer in the army. For a romantic rise from humble origin Russian history has only one parallel that of Michel Yassillevitch Lomono- sof, fshermau's son, poet, philosopher, creator of the modern Russian Ian guage, in the first half of the eight eenth century. .......
 From log cabin to general Is the lit eral text of the chronicle of General Kornilof's career. Born forty-six years ago, son Of a need stricken Karnalinsk Cossack in western Siberia, who later reared a large family On pittance gained as the village clerk, young Kor- niloff early began rough forest work At the age of nine he received his first instruction. When barely thirteen he by his own exertionS and all night studies qualified to enter the Siberian Cadets corps, largely composed Of sons of local men of affairs. Thanks again to bis own efforts thls indomitable Si- berian pioneer character gained free training at the MichailOvsk Artillery school, where his amazing mathemat- ical faculties brought approval from the authorities, cyen though he was suspected. with reason, of being a se- cret revolutionary.
 Next General KOrnilOff was an officer m the Guards and, being penniless, was obliged to serve In Turkestan. In the Japanese war he received the rank of colonel and was intrusted with a desperate misslou-that of covering the retreat from Maiden of one of General Kuropatkin'S shattered ar!p!cs. It was executed with such resolution and skill that he received the St. George cross. Later he travelled all through Turkes- tan, the Caucasus and Europe, study Ing. observing and writing invaluable books on TurkeStau and the countries of central As!I.

Says Airplane Best
 To Win War

That the airplane is regarded by all the best informed as the best means for ending the war was the statement made last week by Maur- ice D. Leehey, a mining attorney of Seattle and Alaska. MT. Leehey re- turned Sunday from a two months visit in the EasL during which he visited Montreal New York City and Washington, D. c.
 MT. Leehey complains of the cry, Leave everything to the presi- dent" charging that 1t has result ed in a bureaucracy and a vast amount of confusion.
 The allies have developed a su- perpIane capable of carrying more than a ton," said MT. Leehey. That means two large bombs and fuel enough for about 2,OOO miles. A fleet of several hundred such planes, flying in the fog and mist so prevalent along that bor- der, could visit awful destruction upon the enemy.
 Ut will be necessary, though, to have a fleet of many thousand scout or destroyer airplanes to protect the larger machines, which are not the kind for air fighting. That is the important problem before us now. As one man expressed 1t to me, we can be thankful that Ger many bent her energies upon the submarine. bad as it is, rather than

 China has not entered this war without some struggle. She, like other nations, was beset with Ger man spies and agents. Teutonic gold worked its insiduous influence for a while in the great Oriental republic. But the hearts of the people of China were right.

THE EFFECT OF THE SHORTER
 DAY

All advancement is a process of education. How much of the in- creasing intelligence of the people is due to the shorter working day? If a man is oyerworked all his life he is quite likely to be a chump. Give him time for recreation and reading and he is almost sure to become a useful and progressive citizen.

IHE BEARING OF A SOLDIER

Few people without military traiH ing have 4 correct idea Ot what Is meant by the position and the bear ing of d sUIdler. They are apt to imagine that 1t means g strut or an extremely strained attitude. Or more frequently they think that the term can properly be applied to any erect position. The truth Of the case, however, is that there Is g definite procedure to follow ln order to place yourself in what IS known ln the army as "the pc sition Of q soldier," it is the po- sitiou which the dtsmounted soldier always assumes at the command "Attention," except as it may be slightly modified to enable him to carry properly any arms he may have in his hands.
 It will be well for you to mem orize paragraph 51 of the Infantry Drill Regulations, which gives the complete and accurate description oi the position of the sOldier. This paragraph is slightly Raraphrased and slmplified in the description following: Keep in mind that there are ten elements which must be properly adjusted to each other and cheek yourself up to see that each one of them is properly placed
 l. Heels-on the same line and as near each other Rs possible; most men should be able to stand with heels touching each other.
 ?. Feet-turned out equally and forming an angle of about 45 de- grees.
 3. Knees-straight without stiff ness. ..': a's tt
 4. Hips-level and drawn back slightly; body erect and resting sQudIIy OH ApS'
 5. Chest-lifted and arched.
 6. Shoulders-sQuare and falling equally.
 '. Arms-hanging naturally. | s. Hands - hanging naturally, thumb along the seam of the trous- CTS. .
 g. Head-erect and squarely to the front; chin drawn in so that axis oS head and neck is vertical Cmeans that g straight line drawn through the center of head and neck should be verticaD eyes straight to the front.
 10. Entire body-weight of body resting equally upon the heels and balls of the feet.
 Note especially that you are not required to stand in 8 strained at titude. You are to be alert but not tense.
 One of the very best things you can do today is to spend fifteen minutes practising this position, getting it right. Keep this up every day until you report at camp. In the army, as in every day life, first impressions are im- pOrtant. The first impression you make on your officers and fellows will depend, more than you prob ably realize, on the manner in which you stand and walk.

WELFARE WORK FOR JEW
ISH SOLDIERS.

New York-Two important con-
ferences, in different parts of the
city, aiming at the organization of
welfare work among Jewish soldiers
in the various camps in the United
States, and among those at the front,
took place November II. The first
took place in the forenoon at the
home of Jacob H. Schiff, 9o5 Fifth
avenue, where plans were laid for
the raising of 100000 for the spe-
cifc purpose of work among the SOL
diers, and for the raising of $4,000
600 as New York's contribution to
the 100000 War Relief Fund
for Jewish Sufferers.
The other conference, at which
were present 1o2 delegates from
more than seventy labor, Zionist,
and Socialist organizations, resulted
in the formation Of the "People's
League for Jewish Soldiers of Amer
lea" Plans were laid for the raising
of fund of 100000 to build club
houses and reading rooms for Jew
ish soldiers at the camps and in cit

on important State matters. It was,
therefore, no more than natural that
this discovery of the racial ancestry
of that distinguished Senator should
have caused quite some comment at
the National Capital. This is not
due to the mere fact that such dec
laration is in any way prejudiclal
to the Senator, but it proved inter-
esting from purely social point of
view in certain political circles.
AS a matter of fact, one would
easily take the Senator for a Jew
even if that fact were not known be-
fore hand. His face, his general
manners, his fine beard, his kind
eyes, and his general features may
be said to be of Semitic origin.
From that angle, therefore, the Jew
ish revelation of Senator Lewis is
not at all surprising. However, it is
very peculiar that this fact was
never mentioned or suggested be-
fore by any one at all, although it
has been frequently rumored that
another Senator, of high promi-
nence in the august body, may be
claimed to be son of Israel. This
is particularly significant when we
consider the fact Senator Lewis has
always shown a kindly and father1y
leaning towards the Jews and has
always spoken in their favor.

United States Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois declared
before the Anshe Keneseth Congre-
cation of Chicago last week that he
is of Jewish lineage. He announced
that he came from French Jewish
family named Lopez, and was
raised by a Jewish aunt in Augusta,
Georgia. II am proud to speak to
you as to fellow Jews" the Senator
is reported to have said, "and am
going back to Washington and tell
the President how patriotic my fell
low Jews are"
1t was surprise to almost every
body at the National Capital to
learn that the Senator openly came
out as member of the Jewish faith.
1t must be remembered that Mr..
Lewis is one of the most influential
members in that very distinguished
body, and is probably its greatest
parliamentarian He is one of the
closest and most intimate friends
and advisers of President Wilson
and his stand in this Administration
is of the very highest. He is par
ticularly we'll versed in matters in
ternationa1 and in questions politi-
cal. It has been stated on good au-
thority that President Wilson al

acknowledgements, the young
Roumanian Jew who has distin-
guished himself in the French avia-
ton service, in which he is volun-
teer, was received recently by the
King Of Roumania on the occasion
of visit to Yassi. The King, who
praised Dragushin for his many
heroic flights of which he had
heard, asked the young aviator
whether he would not like to enter
the Roumanian service in the same
capacity as that which he now
holds in the French Corps. In an
: swer, Dragushin said simply that
he was Jew.
For his heroism and spectacular
flights, Dragushin has the praise
of the French General Staff and in
addition to receiving medals and
other marks of recognition, he has
been promoted to a commanding
position. AS volunteer flyer, he
has served with the French army
about Salonika.
His last spectacular feat was an
attempt to fly from Salonika to
Yassi. In this flight he made vari-
GUS bomb attacks on the German
camps in G. Constance and threw down
proclamations to the inhabitants
of Bucharest. He was prevented
from reaching his destination be-
cause his gasoline gave out. He
was forced to come down at a small

STRONG WAVE OF ANTI-SEM-
ITISM IN RUSSIA.

1OM LIN NOOO1k4.
The weakness of the present gov
eminent in Russia makes it possible
for the many forces of darkness still
operating in various parts of Rus
STA, to assert themselves. According
to the Petrograd daily "Dien," the
reason for this revival is to be found
in the fact that the Jews form
large percentage of the merchant
class and the prejudice against this
class is now very strong among the
people. The uncultured masses in
Russia are being told that the whole
revolution is nothing else but
Jewish intrigue and that all the
Maximilianists are Jews. Some of
the favorite phrases of the agitators
are: "The Jews took away your
Czar-your religion comes next"
or "The Jews have us all in their
bag, we have to dance on their
strings"
1t is true that the cadets as we'll
as the members of the present gov
eminent are much concerned about
this manifestation and are trying
their best to prevent any serious
outbreaks. The situation in Petro-
grad and Moscow is very serious,
and in Lugansk pogrom, in accord
ance with approved methods of the
old regime, broke out with disas-
trous results for the Jews.
At meeting Of soldiers in Petro-
grad, all speakers came out boldly
for the removal of the foreign" ele-
ments from the Committee of Sol
diers' and Workmen's Delegates. By
foreign" it is understood are meant.
the Jews. The provisional govern
ment was also attacked for the ap-
pointment of M. Gurewitch as as
sistant to the Minister of the Inter-
ior. The assistant minister, Ear
udny, just made public the fact that
a delegation of workmen recently
called on Premier Kerensky and de-
clared to him that the Jewish mem
bers of the Committee of Soldiers
should receive adequate punishment
for their meddling in the affairs of
the government In a small town
near Moscow, a mass of anti ewish
literature was discovered, consist
ing of proclamations against the
Provisional Government, which is
accused of being in the service of
the Rothschilds and of the Kaiser.

WE RETREAT

When llindcnbcrg ordered his
troops to retire recently, the German
Press spoke of it as piece of
Strategy and victory for the Ger
man forces. But the retreat still CON
tinucs and the chances of the Ger
mans spending Christmas day in
Paris and London are not very bright.
This week the Northwest Worker
retreats two pages because of the
good work of members of the Everett
Commercial Club. This club has
been hammerng away at us for the
past eigth months and slowly but
surely we have been driven to the
end of our resources SO we decided
to make change in order to keep
ON the firing line. Now it is up to
our readers to turn this retreat into
victory.
The loss of advertisers has been
the reason for the change Had we
ten or fifteen thousand subscribers
we could stay in the field without
advertisers, but not having that num-
Der we are compelled to get along
the best we can.

out that list and use it on shopping
day. Hand it to your neighbor if
they are sympathetic toward us, and
have them patronize our advertisers
only. Call up the managers and
proprietors of stores and find out
why they do not advertise in your
paper. We are powerless to get
advertising unless we can give re
suits. You spend the money and you
can call the tune. Everybody get
busy and boost the Northwest Work
err and get your neighbors to do the
same.
This paper will remain two page
paper until we have enough adver-
Users to foot the bill for four pages
again. We are not going to suspend
yet awhile, we are just merely get

against the editor of the Northwest
Worker at the behest of some of
Everett's best citizens" will 90 to
the jury at the latter part of the
present jury term or the following
jury term. No date has been set to
date. The penalty for the awful
crime is from one to twelve months

dollars fine. From the standpoint of
our "best citizens" he ought to be
shot at sunrise and unless they can
dig up some antiquated law that
provides for this punishment he will
only be imprisoned.
