BY CRANsTON WILLIAMS.

The Russians may be the slowest
government and the most cumbersome
in its conduct but it cannot be denied
that when it comes to moving an en-
peror or car off the throne they have
displayed the keenest skill in the
latest instance. Gear Nicholas has
abdicated," was the bulletin flash last
night which went over the country
through the Associated Press service
The Recorder received the news
last night, and it was posted in the
Windsor Pharmacy Another bulle-
tin of great interest which came in
last night was the fact that the rail
way strike had been called for SatuT-
day. March 18th.
The revolution in Russia does not
seem to be a movement in favor of
peace. In short, it seems to be
very effective display OF the sentiment
CT the common people to have the
government conduct the war and the
nations affairs on an efficient and bus
iness-like plan, discarding the pro-
German element which is said to have
gained a high hand in the Russian
courts. The cause Of the Entente is
really bettered, according to many
ways of thinking.

other defendants, charged with the
same offense, were acquitted The

Railway strikes are serious affairs.
II will be recalled that two strikes IN
the past several years have been held
on the Georgia railroad, and those
both resulted in very acute cond1-
lions. Actual privation was witnessed
along the line of the road, and in many
violence was common. 1t was during
one of the Georgia's strikes that a
street car strike was on in Augusta,
when the state troops shot several PEG
pie.
Strikes without trouble is almost
Ike war without fighting-there amt
no such thing.
Americas will not be pinched for
hunger for a few days, still the situa-
ton will prove very incOnyenient.
One thing sure, the mails and the
troops will move although there will
be considerable delay.

The chancellor added that it was
comforting TO know that the move
ment was not directed at securing
peace by Russia.
The following details of the Russian
revolution have been given to the As
ISOLATED Press from a source usually
well informed on Russian affairs:
The soldiers refused to act against
the crowd which started trouble when
it heard of the ukase issued by En-
perior Nicholas proroguing the Duma.
On Sunday the committee which had
met to discuss the food situation was
partly transformed into a provisional
government under the presidency Of
President Rodzianko of the Duma, and
included representatives of the Duma
Council of the Empire and of the
Municipality The garrison agreed to
support the provisional government"

AMERICAN SLANG IN ENG
LAND A FEARFUL AND
WONDERFUL THING

LONDON, March, 16.-American
slang in England today is a fearful
and wonderful thing. The Britishers
struggle with it valiantly, as witness
this squib in one newspaper just
after the announcement of the Ger
man submarine decree:
Among those seen at the steam
ship booking Office was Mr.. Alex Q.
Jones of Detroit. He was most in
dignant in his breezy American way.
Alex Q. Jones is taking passage
for little old Detroit he declared.
and if the Germans think they can
brighten him off the big drink by their
methods they have taken long slide
into the wrong guess shop. Maybe
President Wilson doesn't think it
worth while to protect Alex Q. Jones
but the Yankee Doodle boys in Con-
gress will let Germany know where
she aIights and Alex Q. Jones will
jolly we'll take his chance"
The paragrapher of the Pail Mall
Gazette did a little better in discuss
Jig what he said was recent news
from the U. S.
They are now calling Count Won
Bernstorff a Spanish athlete" he
said. ITO understand this you must
know that the very latest American
slang is throwing the bull" Where
fore one who throws the bull would
be a Spanish athlete"

TRADES UNIONISTS TO ATTEND
ATLANTA PROHIBITION JUBILEE

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-Members
OF the various trade unions of Atlanta
will attend the prohibition jubilee next
Monday in a body and take their wives
and children, pursuant to resolutions
adopted by the Federation of Trades,
indorsing the jubilee and urging all
members of the unions to attend and
participate in the great movement for
the moral, economic and social uplift
of humanity"
Politics will be barred from the pub
lice entirely, as the committee in
charge of the program is perfectly
willing to leave the shaping of the
bone dry" legislation to be enacted by
the legislature in the hands of Cox
ernor Harris and the prohibition lead
ers of the house and senate.
The jubilee. as its name implies, will
be simply a celebration of the ulti-
mate and final victory of prohibition
in Georgia and all believers in prohf-
bition are urged to attend, both those
who live in Georgia, and those who live
in adjoining states.
There will be three sessions during
the day, with addresses by United
States senator's and congressman and
other nationally famous prohibition
speakers.

tawny hair, the happy smile Of in:
nocence and the delightful manner
isms of trusting maidenhood, is the
central figure in annie for Spite,

RED CROSS NOTES
Plan for Christmas.

Every member Of the Red Cross
in the Northern Division is urged by
John Leslie, chairman of the. divi-
sion Christmas membership drive
committee, to begin work on plans
for the big drive. - d. ~. ~:
While the drive itself will not be-
gin until Dec. II and will end on
Christmas eve, preparations for the
weeks intensive campaigning must
begin at once. The national plan is
to increase the Red Cross member
ship from approximately 100000
members to 100000. This means
that every member of the Red Cross
must bring two recruits into his local
branch or chapter. -&.l
The Christmas membership drive
is one of the most gigantic cam
paigns ever planned in the United
States. Hard intensive work must
begin now in every city and dis
trict in the division, Mr.. Leslie de-
clares, if the drive is to be success
full. Committees must be appointed,
publicity campaigns mapped out and
all arrangements completed for the
day when the Red Cross armies will
Ego over the top" Delay in prepare
ton now, Mr.. Leslie points out, will
work irreparable injury later.

THEATERS
TONIGHT "THE Stacker"

Tonight at the Rex theater will
be presented the first evening show
ing of 1.-THE Stacker" and the film
is certain to attract large crowds
at all showings as this is the pic
ture that has been screened in the
leading theaters of the large cities
to hundreds of thousands. It is not
picture of war scenes but is one
of the most intensely patriotic films
ever dramatized.
1.-THE Stacker" tells the story of
how a man courted a young woman
for two years and never proposed.
With the break of the war he did so
and she became his wife. She was
intensely patriotic and did her bit
in every possible manner. She saw
the boys leave for the camps and
front and babe many Of her friends
coed bye. But her husband still
remained-he was a Stacker and had
married her to escape the draft. The
truth was out and she set about to
regenerate his ideas of patriotism.
She succeeded and he answered the
call.
Is your neighbor Stacker? See
this wonderful seven thousand feet
of film, produced by the Metro cor
poration with beautiful Emily Stew
ems in the lead. This mighty drama
of the hour will be shown at the Rex
tonight and tomorrow afternoon and
evening. Special matinees for the
children at 4:3O o'clock.

ELKO TONIGHT

Although typical1y Douglas
Fairbanks picture. Down to Earth
at the Elko theater tonight, is diff
ferent from any Of his previous Art
craft offerings. This is due to the
fact that the photoplay does not
feature the popular actors athletic
thrillers but rather shows why he
is capable of performing these hair
raising tricks. While "Wild and
Woolly' was more of thriller, the
new Fairbanks picture gets most of
it's laughs from incidents concerning
life as Douglas Fairbanks sees It,,
namely under the great blue sky,
close to nature.
Tomorrow.
His room opened on one balcony;
her room opened on another, and be-
tween there was long stretch OF
caves, nothing more; and she was
screaming for help. What Brent
Brewster did was to jump up and
grasp the edge of the caves, sort OF
ledge, and hand over hand, dangling
forty feet above the ground, drag
himself to the front window and her
rescue.
But that was only small part of
the excitement in "Flying Colors,"
the Triangle play starring William
Desmond, which will be shown at the
Elko theater Friday and Saturday.

Call From Division

Cdu kTOm U1V1SlOu. :.
We are receiving acquisitions
from abroad for surgical dressing
and hospital supplies in large guam
titles. The American Red Cross
headquarters in France has been ask
ed for an estimate covering their
monthly requirements of these ar
ticles. In&order to- make allotments
intelligently it is necessary for us
to know at what rate chapters, in
Guiding branches and auxiliaries, are
producing their supplies.
The chapter here wishes to send
in report of the normal output for
the month and also report of how
much we could do in case of an en-
Urgency. The only way they can
obtain the number of articles made
per month is for each circle and each
individual worker to report to Mrs.
F. S. Arnold, chairman Of the work
committee, what work they are do
ing each month and also how much
they could and would do in case OF
an emergency.
viii you please report to Mrs. Ar.
mold as soon as possible so that she
may make the necessary report to
division headquarters
.yLet us all try and be more sys-
tematic in our Red Cross work. Plan
certain amount of work for each
week and then do it, so that the
work committee can depend on us.

every reason for believing that with
