of the government, hampering the
operations of the army and stirring
up dissatisfaction among the people.
with the thought of bringing Russia
to the point of a separate peace. Again
we see the vicious plottings of the
Kaiser bring down an avalanche upon
his own head. Not only did he not
succeed in his treacherous purpose,
but, the outlook is, he has aroused the
Russian people to the point where they
will not only decline to make peace
separately, but will push their military
operations with vigor and magnitude
that may become the determining fac
tor of the war. Instead of drawing
more legions from the East to defend
the constantly growing pressure on the
West, the Kaiser may be forced actu-
ally to weaken his western front in
order to attempt to erect an impassa-
men that Grand Duke Nicholas may
be expected to turn loose upon him
with the coming of spring.
In a night the Russian people have
become the Russian nation. The war
has worked the great miracle of free
dom for them. No more will Ger
many be able to say that the free
peoples of France and England are not
fighting the battles of democracy in
their war upon Prussian Imperialism
because they themselves are linked up
with an absolute monarchy. All that
is past. 1t is now democracy united
in a tremendous assault upon abso-
lutism, for Germany has lost even its
semblance of popular voice in govern
ment since the beginning of the war
placed all power in the head of the
military.
But the success of the Russian revo-
luton means more merely than
closer unity of action by the al
lies against their common enemy. 1t
will have it's effect also upon Germany
itself. Unquestionably, there is dis
satisfaction in the empire with the
way the war has gone. The people
were led to believe that their armies
would soon sweep all before them; that
victory would be only matter of
weeks-and now they doubt even if
years of fighting and unlimited sacri-
flee of wealth and life will bring them
through triumphant. The restless ele-
ment, which includes the Socialists,
must look across the border into Rus
sia with longing eyes. The turnover
at Petrograd will doubtless lend fuel to
dreams in Germany that never have
been more than whispered outside
certain limited circle of those who
have not been content to accept even
an efficient government without full
voice in it. Victory for German arms,
or even peace without victory, may
leave the government of Germany un-
changed for the moment. Defeat al
most certainly will witness an up
rising at Berlin.
The whole world will feel the quick
ening influence of this weeks events
in Russia and not the least important
results will be the shattering of in
ternational alliances that, following
this war. would have been a constant
menace to the peace of the world.

other nation, will be the gamer

ing what is going to happen in towns
where the faithful want to split the
terms such as in Reading. The action
of A. Mitchell Palmer in putting his

some of the Democratic congressman

RUSSIA AS A REPUBLIC

ID USSIA q Republici The swift Sc
IN quence of events at Petrograd
has brought about the most
amazing change of government in the
history of the world. Even China,
with its bloody battles and it's years
of planning and plotting, offers no
parallel, while the French Revolution
is to it as q tidal wave and a volcanic
eruption are to q gentle, settling earth
quake.
Up to this moment the progress of
the Revolution has been without SER
ious hindrance and the activities of
government have been transferred
from the reactionaries to the liberals
with comparatively little disorder and
with scarcely any interruption of mill
tary activities. The abdication first of
the Car and next of Grand Duke
Michael not only proves the strength
and popularity of the revolutionary
movement, but will have a marked er
feet on any reactionary officers in the
army who might be inclined to with
hold support from the new govern
ment. Indeed, the very Iact that the
revolutionaries have felt themselves
strong enough to go beyond their first
intention of maintaining the dynasty
through the regency of Archduke
Michael and have decided upon a re-
public. is in itself a significant com
mentary upon the state of mind in
Russia at this time.
News dispatches say that the revo-
luton was made possible largely be-
cause of the activities of pro- Germans
at the Cars court and in the affairs

AGAINST MILITARY TRAININC

TO the Editor of the Telegraph:
And now, dear friends, another great
imperative and urgent responsibility
rests upon you and all other American
cltlZens who would not have the Unit
ed states involved in the European
maelstrom. Do not think 1 exagger-
ate. out of my political experience L
am convinced that it is only as the
American people are aroused and re-
sistant, that they escape the doom of
q period of militarism and retrogres-
sion. The Senate military committee
has reported favorably the Chamber
lam Dill which requires six month COM
pulsory military training of all Young
men from the age of 19 to 26. In Al
State Legislatures at this moment
there have been introduced bills for
compulsory military training of boys
In the public schools of those States.
Thlnk of it, 1t is agreed among edu-
cators-Dr. Sargent, of Howard Uni
Verslty, one of the most widely recog-
niZed authorities on the subject, is
positive and emphatic that military
training is among the poorest methods
for the development of youth. The ac-
ton is automatic, stiff and repressiye
and opposed to the present day ideals
of bodily exercise for freedom, control
and expression.
The great European countries at
present engaged in warfare committed
as they are to militarism, do not prac-
tice military training in the schools.
The system was temporarily tried in
England and France, but was given

Invocation to Nature

Earth, ocean, air, beloved brother
hood!
If our mother have imbued my soul
With aught of natural plety to feel
Your love, and recompense the boon
with mine;
If dewy morn, and odorous noon, and
even,
With sunset and it's glorious
And solemn midnight's tingling
silentness;
If autumn's hollow sighs in the sere
woods,
And winters robing with pure snow
and crowns
OF starry ice the gray grass and bare
boughs;
If springs voluptuous paintings, when
she breathes
Her first sweet kisses, have been dear
If no bright bird. insect, or gentle
beast
1 consciously have injured, but still
loved
And cherished these my kindred
then forgive A..
This boast, beloved brethren, and
withdraw
No portion of your wonted favor nowi

FEEBLE MINDED EXHIBIT
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
L happened into the rooms in Lo-
Gust street where the feeble minded
exhibit is being held the other day and
was surprised at the small number of
people there. On inquiry, learned that
that day was no different from any
other and that only few dozen came
IN to see the exhibits during the en-
tire evening.
Of course we realize that in the
race or great countrywide railroad
strike, threatened precipitation of our
country into war and the many other
news happenings of the day, such a
relatively minor thing as the elimina-
ton OF feeblemindedness in the State
OF Pennsylvania retires into the shade.
Every citizen of Harrisburg owes 1t
TO himself or herself to obtain through
the sources that the State Board of
CHARITIES has provided, information
on the scourge that to degree threat
ems the welfare of the State. Where
a cancer grows, the doctor burns out
the spot. A worthy attempt to segre-
gate the feebleminded of the State is
being made in this city and other
cities and 1T should be supported.

Good Showing
From Daily District

E. r. Wiley, superintendent of
the Grand Clear Creek mines in
the Daily district, was down this
week looking after the milling of
80 tons of ore from that property.
Aside from the gold and silver
values, the ore carries large per-
centage of lead and zinc. The ore
was treated at the Newton mill,
which made complete separation
of the lead from the zinc. Over
eight tons of concentrates were re-
covered from the lot. The assays
have not yet been returned, but
will no doubt be satisfactory. A
sample of the crude ore taken from
across the breast of the drift gave
return of .O4 ounces gold. 11.SO
ounces silver, $3.50 percent lead
and Is percent zinc per ton.

couraged over the conditions of the
district and predicts very pros.

mines, but that of the adjacent
properties also.
