THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA.

The revolution in Russia, which in
o week overthrow the ancient rule of tn,
K Romanoffs and converted Russia int
a free state, bewilders the world. Sc
r long and so absolute was that rule. SC
$ unyielding and despotic; the Car, tbs
head of the church and the state, and
. so absolute in control that to be over
t thrown by almost bloodless revolution
is a wonder and amazement.
1t is said it started in bread riots. for
Russia, while completing through lines
of transportation had neglected to make
her railroad lines cohesive at home:
the riots extended, expanded into a
revolution that in a single week con-
sumated into such a cataclysm to the
government as a geological period is
TO the physical world.
It was not the war that brought 1t
about for the command of the new
government to the armies in the field
is to press on against the enemy. 1t is
in answer to the prayers that for cen
tury have been rising to a just God
from Siberian prisons.
In Russia for generations, first the
Car, the absolute ruler; then an auto
cracy, the most austere in all Europe:
then the higher class of Commoners.
whose Sons have been banished for
more than century for crying out
against the tyranny of the ruler over
them; then the peasants who up to
sixty years ago were serfs; and lastly.
the Cossacls, those nomads, wild riders
and fighters, who have made the NOV
ing arm of the Russian army.
Did the more generous of the arsto
crazy join with the more advanced of
the Commoners to produce the upheav-
al. or is there Cromwell in Russia?
The revolution and it's results are
surely world wonder.
Russia has suffered an appalling loss
of lives in the war: more than any
other power. save France and Ger
many. The deaths are counted by the
millions
BY the Danube and the Dnieper
The Cossack hero sleeps.
BY the volga and the Don
The Cossack mother weeps.
But this did not cause the uprising.
and those who believe that Germany
win gain by 1t are mistaken. Napo-
leon discovered that 1t was possible to
scatter Russian armies and capture her
capital but that it meant final de
struction to the invader.
Then. too. there are the old antagon-
isms: antagonisms Of race and creed
and centuries OF hate-the Slav against
tho Goth-and behind all the old Ash
attic fataiism. cruelty and love Of con-
quest.
AS the revolution fills the world with
wonder it ought likewise to fin the
hearts Of kings with apprehension Of
svil to them. and at least stop their
'iaims 70 a Divine Right to rule.

for some of the allies. France has spent
eighteen and half billion dollars foi

loaned one billion to friendly nations.

anti-Semitism. Jews were Disseminated
against financially and socially up to the
very beginning of the war. and il was
practically impossible for Jew TO obtain
a commission in the Prussian army. 1t
was the Baltic-German clique in the
cars court that invented Russian anti
Semitism and the pogroms.
Likewise 1t was in Germany that the
doctrine of the degeneracy of the Latin
or Mediterranean races was first started
on its vicious journey around the world.
II is shameful 70 remember, but this
German-implanted idea was widespread
in the United States after the Spanish
war. Returning students from German
universities and readers Of Max Nordau'S
absurd books helped make it popular.
The doctrine Is dead now. It vanished
in the battleSmoke Of the Marine, never
to lift its head again
At the outbreak of the war German
agents in the United States did all they
could 10 arouse race prejudice in the
United States against the allies by harp
ing on the japanese alliance and the use
OF Indian and African troops by France
and Britain-whi,e they themselves were
arming the lovely Turk for his onslaught
on Christianity
And now the mask has been stripped

dice

The Hotbed of Race Prejudice

For 40 years Germany has been the
hotbed of race prejudice. Teaching of
racial superiorities and inferiorities was
part of the Prussian game. 1t was neces-
sary in order to poison the German mind
with the belief that they were chosen
people called for world domination.
Only in Germany were the fantastic
theories Of racial development, spun by
pseudo-scientists on the basis of the evo-
luton theory and the discovery Of the
Aryan language affnities, taken serious
ly. What was wild amusement Of fad
dists in other lands became part of Ger
man statecraft, education and religion.
Germany invented the Yellow Peril
1t was Bismarck who first voiced the idea
that Western Europe might again suffer
a Tartar invasion.

German statesmen sought to conjure up

their own interests and real peril.

We Miss You, Boys

'Do they miss me at home, do they
miss me? runs the first line Of civil
war song which has become classic.
Were the home people to unite in an
swering such a query today, a mighty
chorus would go up to cheer the boys
who have gone off to our various armies.
Perhaps the big fellow wasn't always
easy to pry out of bed in the morning.
Maybe he had irritating ways Of teasing
Sis. But how we all miss him. How
selfishly we miss him.
When no one could make the ice chest
stay closed. he fixed the lock. When the
grammar school brother couldn't dc his
decimals. he became a willing teacher
When Sis needed an escort. he was al
hand. When the baby locked himself in
to the bathroom alone, he rescued the
prisoner by climbing thru the winooz-
When the doctor was called FOR grand
mother at midnight, ne hurried 20 TIE
drug store TO get the prescription filed.
When mother travelled, he bought the
tickets, and checked the baggage and put
her on the train.
And when, at his country's summons, a
train swallowed up his khaki-clad form,
we all wept bitterly-except father
who tried 10 set an example in courage.
But even then, nobody realized how
much everybody was going to miss him.
We are just beginning to find out what

HE WAS ALWAYS SO READY TO

But there are different qualities and
tempers of halfness.

whole. We know nothing absolutely.
Particularly what to do. Most of the
things we decide on we choose rather as
a good gamble than sure thing.
Life is not "cinch." 1t is a prepon-
derance of probabilities.
When young lady is asked by young
man to marry she usually doesn't know
what TO say. But she has to say some
thing. She has TO take a chance And
whether she answers yes or no there will
probably be moments when she wishes
she hadn't.
