 OVER GOVERNMENT FUNDS

Petrograd, Dec. 24.- Countess Panin who was minister of public instruc- tion in the Kerensky cabinet. was on trial today charged with misappro- priation of the public funds Hers was the first case tried by the pop ular revolutionary tribunal" The countess was convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment until the return Of the money and 10 public ensure" The small court room in tue palace of Grand Duke Nicholas was filed with friends and sympathizers of the coun- tess, The judges, five workingmen and two soldiers, were all elected members of the Petrograd workmen's and soldiers deputies. They sat at | long table draped in red To the left, near the wall. the defendant sat, soldier with a bayonet on either side, The president of the Bolshevih | court read the indictment. 1 "Who wishes to speak to the prose cution?" he asked.
 | The president then invited a de- fense for the defendant
 An elderly man, former employe
 at the ministry of public instruction,
 arose and spoke of the great philan- lthropic and educational activity of
 Countess Panin. He denied the mis- use of funds and said that the coun- . tess had refused to acknowledge the right of the present government tt
 demand the money. He declared tha 3 she would return the funds to tho constituent assembly, which was en' : sole authority over her.
 Next, young workineman, speak ing for the prosecution. made ; clumsy, heated speech to the effec that nobility of character and educa
 tional activity need not cloud the fac that the countess took public fund.- and opposed the authority of thu workmens' and soldirs government
 He exhorted the judges to disregard | the personality and past of the de fendant
 ? In her Hast word" the countess Isald:
 l AS HdS Dttu Sdiu' nave hoL ms fused the funds l consider myself re-
 sponsble for their safety and will de- liver them to the constituent assem- - bly,, to which alone l must account
 for my actions. Since the convenine of the constituent assembly has been postponed, the money has been de-
 posted in tse state bank until it as-
 sembles."
 The so-called misappropire,ion of public funds consisted in the trans
 fer by the countess of all the ministry
 funds to the state bank which left the
 safes in the ministry empty when the
 BOlsheviki took control She denied
 their right to the money.

Women War Workers
Retain Social Lines

Class distinction, or the social stand
ing Of the respective women employees
in their community, had to be recog
nized. It was impossible to get the
daughter or wife of a mechanic 10 work
alongside of a girl or woman who had
previously been "scullery maid;
much less was there a possibility that
the daughter or wife Of bookkeeper
or a school teacher would work along
side Of either. They assumed that they
would be Stunned by all their previous
associates, and probably would be, even
though the greatest stress was laid on
their patriotic efforts to serve their
country
The social standing Of every woman
applicant had to be carefully inquired
into and the shops depar tmentalized so
that by no possibility would one class
have TO mix with another. In some
plants brick walls segregate the
classes, and each has its own factory
entrance. This is particularly true OF
the inspectors and the machine opera
tors. Usually ladies Of quite high So
cial standing and education are en-

Of shells, fuses, hand grensdes, etc.
In several shops they come to work
at a. m. and quit at p. M, after
which they go downtown to some tea
shop, have little luncheon with the in
evitable cup of tea at 4 o'clock, COM
pare notes and exchange gossip with
their girl friends, do a little shopping
and then go home. Has anybody the te-
merity to suggest that young ladies of
such a class could have been induced TO
enter upon such an undertaking If
they had been called upon to associate
with another class which they had
always been taught to consider be-
meath them and unfit TO associate with
as their equals? Not If they were
starved TO it. A few might be per-
suaded, but even they would likely pay
a severe penalty forever after by being
nubbed.-Industria Management.

SCHOOL," asked Frank Evans, the local
superintendent of schools, OF marcy

"Send her to school, boss! the man
replied. How can do that-aint she

Il stands TO reason that people Oh
this class, who honestly see no'h!he
but oppression in the humanity OF
child labor law, are similarly unaole
10 see anything but the cruellest sort
of persecution in the selective dratt'
They feel justified in avoiding perse-
cuton il they can. and, as result
tho local exemption boards are hav-
ing considerable difficulty. Right IN
Spartanburg there are illiterate whites
and many negroes who believe that
"there is no war" or that it's just "a
Northern war of no account" or that
the war reports are newspaper talk.
Many Unable to Write
The state election law prescribes
that a voter must be able TO read the
Constitution Of the United Safes or pay
taxes on $500 OF personal property.
This eliminates the negro as class
and a great majority OF the illiterate
whites. Yet Of the number Of men
above twenty-one years old who signed
the rolls in the last primary 20 per
cent were unable to write their names,
and made marks.
The ignorance in which this twenty
FIVE per cent is STEPPED is responsible
for much of the antiwar feeling. State
