"RUSSIA'S CAPITAL BACK TORySSIA".
Russian Writer Tries TO Discount The Probable Moral Effect
Ct the Removal Of the Scat Of Government 10 Moscow.

In the following article pu.
blished in the New York Even
ing Mail Svetozar Tonjoroff. a
Russian publicist, tries to dis
count the anticipated great mo-
raj effect which a removal OF
the Russian capital from Petro-
grad TO Moscow, as a consequ-
ence OF the latest military deve-
lopments on the Eastern front,
very likely would have:
The removal Of the Russian
capital to Moscow after a lapse
Of two centuries is foreshadow-
ed by military necessities which
have arisen 300 miles to the
southwest, and by no less press
ing political considerations.
The recession Of the seat OF
Russian power from Petrograd
to Moscow will be an event Of
importance in the life of the
Russian people. 1t will mark
the end of a significant strug-
gle between rival influences in
Russian civilization.
Compared with Moscow, Pc
trograd is a boom city" an arts
fetal structure built over night
to give expression to an idea.
That idea was the aspiration Of
Peter the Great for a window
into Europe" Once the mighty
dreamer had conceived that idea,
the city of St. Petersburg be-
came a fact by imperial decree.
And by no single event in Rus
sian history is the power OF
the autocrat so p~ointedly illu-
strated as by the rise Of St.
Petersburg.
When Peter Alexeyevitch de-
cided that there must be a great
capital at the eastern end Of
the Gulf Of Finland, which he
had just taken from the Swedes,
he was confronted by enormous
natural difficulties. There was
no population. He commanded
thousands of peasants to settle
in the new city. There was a
shortage Of masons. He forbade
the construction Of stone build
ings in every part Of the empire
except the new capital. A rich
and luxury-loving society was
needed to adorn the window
into Europe" He ordered every
landowner who owned 500 serfs
or more to build a house in St.
Petersburg and to spend every
winter there.
The conception of a window
into Europe" furnished the key
note for the physical, political
and social building Of the city.
-
Western, and not eastern and
Russian, models were followed
in the architecture Of the city.
First the Swedish and then the
French language became the
speech Of the court and Of polite
society.
Peter the Great had moved
the capital from Moscow be-
cause he could not endure the
opposition which the people, the
traditions and the atmosphere
Of Moscow offered to his plans
for the "Europeanization" Of
Russia. He made ST. Peters
burg European and not Rus

Student OFFICERS TAKE
FIRST MARCH ON ROADS
Hike for Two Hours on Virginia
Highways With Empty
Packs.

The men who are studying for COM
at the training camp at Fort Myer, Va.
had their first road march today with
equipment. 1t could. not be called heavy
marching order, for the packs were
empty. The march was started at E
o'clock this morning and for two hours
the embryo officers hiked along the yir-
glnia roads to the south of the reserva-
tion. The air was cool and bracing and
all of the hikers withstood the ordeal
well.
Later in their course it is proposed to
take hikes with full equipment and the
length Of these will be increased so
that by the time the training is. COM
pleted the men will have no difficulty
In negotiating marches of twenty miles.
Great interest is being taken by the
students in the bayonet drills. They
are being schooled in the manual of the
United States Army and this instruc-
tion also is to be supplemented by that
of the British army. 1t is realized that
by reason of the knowledge gained in
the war the British manual is more up
to date than that used by the United
States Army.
The camp was visited today by a
large party of delegates to the con-
vention of the American Red Cross be-
ing held in this city. They rode to the
camp in automobil driven by members
of the Women's Motor Corps and lunch
con was served them by the Women s
Comfort Corps, affiliated with the Red
Cross.
Senator Chamberlain visited the camp
yesterday afternoon and was shown
about the buildings by Lieut.. Col.
Charles W. Fenton. camp commander.
Senator Chamberlain, who was largely
responsible for the legislation which
created the Officers Reserve Corps, was
greatly pleased with the progress being
made in training the officers for the
new army. He spoke in high terms of
the manner in which they are being
cared for during their training period

Extent of Delivery Service.

The extent of the delivery servic of
4 department store may be Nealized
when 1t is considered that Lansburgh's
uses ten automobiles and has placed
orders for more to meet the demand of
persons who wish goods sent home.
The city is divided into zones, and in
some OF these zones deliveries are made
four times daily. Throughout the city
they are made three times daily. Many
Of these are long runs. Suburban de-
ilver1es are made daily in some cases,
and two OF three times week in 9TH
ers.
The estimate of cents a package is
made only on equipment, wages of

But there is an additional cost to de-

Other Ways of Saving.

Even without any change in delivery
methods. saving could be effected by
the exercise of care and consideration
ON the part of buyers, Mr.. Hart asserts.

Additional Items Considered.

Many other items involved in on
Grating store have increased. These
increases are necessary. That is why
consumers should cooperate, Mr. Hart
penses. which can be reduced. Take
the higher prices of articles involved
only in the above transaction for a
delivery purchase.
Mrapplng paper has increased in
price from Y cents a pound to II
cents. Cord has gone from 16 cents a
pound to "a cents. Bags, boxes and
other material of this sort have dou-
bled.
Such expenses the merchant cannot
avoid" Mr.. Hart stated, "and the onTv
way to minimize them is for the con.
sumner to cooperate in a campaign of
economy. consumers will realize more
and more fully, in the present pinch of
wartime prices, that all clements
which add to the overhead costs Of
distribution also are factors in tho
price the consumer must pay. They
Will be compelled to realize that any
eHoft they make to reduce, these eS-
penses accrue to their benefit.
That is why /, for one. am willing
10 enter into any agreement with other
merchants which would reduce the
item OF delivery-the unnecessary por-
tNn OF this expense, / mean-and thug,
the merchants would be able to ef-
rect a saving which would be passed
along TO the customer. The consumer
must dement,, of course. because of the
operation of the laws of competition.
| Just as one merchant could not af-
! iord to curtail the articles he will de-
liver, or the intervals of deliveries. i,
others continue on the old schedule
Just so one merchant, after such q
general curtailment is reached. could
not continue to include in his retail
price the expense of a service which
mas been eliminated. Other merchants
could undersell him.
