Lenine Still in Hiding.

The Bolsheviki have abandoned the
idea of having Nikolai Lenine the rad
ical pacifist agitator, appear as their
representative in the democratic con-
Eress on account of the firm determine
tion Of the government to discover and
arrest him. After Premier Kerensky
had given the order to bring Lenine
into court 1t was learned that at the
time the democratic congress opened
he and his associate, Zinovien. were in
the vicinity Of the Alexandra Theater
awaiting the results Of the Bolsheviki
leaders to procure from the workmen's
and soldiers delegates a guarantee of
their immunity. This guarantee was
refused on the ground that the presence
of Lenine might lead to disorders which
would result in the premature closing
Of the congress. The Bolsheviki plan
was, therefore, abandoned.
Disorders are reported at Tambov.
800 miles southeast of Moscow, and at
kozlow. in Crimea. where mobs led by
former criminal exiles to Siberia burn
ed and destroyed much grain and other
property. The towns are under martial
law and troops have been sent from
Moscow. Rioting also is reported in
Turkes'an. whittier troops have been
dispatched

Frightfulness Fails Again

THERE are military lessons to be derived
from the great victory General Nivelle
has won from Scissors to Rheims The
strategist will study it and delight in it. and
the student OF tactics will point out with what
skill and efficiency the plan of the master
mind carried out But the man in the
street.-the man who has learned to love
France and weep for her sufferings-wil
think of the fact that in less than twenty
four hours 100000 Germans were killed
wounded or captured.
That is the great, outstanding. compelling
truth in all that may with truth be said OF
this mighty combat The story it tells is the
story OF the poilu who would not be denied.
Wise strategy there unQuestionably en-
tensive and effective artillery preparation and
skillful leadership in the field played their
part. but TO account for those 100000 you
must look 10 the man behind the gun. Look
ing 10 him. with rage and vengeance in his
heart and an indomitable resolution squirting
him on, you see that once again German
frightfulness has defeated it's own ends
That poilu had seen his dead and the
women who had suffered worse than death:
he had looked, with his own eyes or the eyes
OF others, on those deserts which once were
fertile fields and those ruins which once
were proud cities and happy villages of
France: he had surveyed the whole dreadful
desolation which Kultur spread to destroy
his spirit. so that his heart would sink and
his blood turn TO water within his veins
That was the purpose OF frghtfulness but
what was its effect? Why, the same effect
il has produced since the war began. Instead
of inspiring despair, it has inspired wrath
and instead OF weakness a resolute courage
which halts at no sacrifice. 1t intensified
Belgian resistance. soidified British deter
mnation, brought America to the side Of the
allies and made of Germany what President
Wilson has proclaimed her, the common
enemy of all mankind"
And so this latest frightfuness has had its
persistent and inevitable influence. Niyelle's
heroes who leaped to storm the German
trenches were an army of wrath. Their re-
sistless onslaught moved down opposition
like flaming sword. The strains of the
Marsellaise' sang in their hearts. 'Allons
cnfants de la patrie," they heard the shrill
summons; "le jour du gloire est arrive" and
the day OF glory which had dawned for these
children OF their country was the day OF
vengeance
Right royalty they took their fill OF it.
For every home destroyed. for every man
tortured for every woman dehled they
e1acted bloody recompcnse. That frightful-
ness which it was hoped would COW them
had steeled every arm and every heart
