ONE MANS RESPONSIBILITY

Russia, country considerably
larger than the United States in area
and population, if it is in the control
of one man, has passed under the
domination of a benevolent dictator.
Strictly, it is without a recognized
leader, although engaged in a terrible
war, and the hope of the future lies
in the wisdom, courage and personal
ity of one man, unskilled in state
craft and hardly known in his own
country four months ago.
For the moment the world is not
watching, with breathless interest,
the kaiser of Germany, the command
er of the French or british armies,
Woodrow Wilson or Won Hindenburg
but Kerensky. The fate of nations
rests upon his shoulders.
When the revolution which over
threw czarism in a night occurred,
Kerensky's name was among the first
of those who figured in the stirring
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-09-08

events of that dramatic episode, but
he played a prominent role in the re-
construction and was made the first
minister of justice of the provision
al governments post which he filled
with rare diplomacy and poise. Ker-
ensky, the brilliant socialist, the
Young man with a magnetic person
atty matched only by his fiery elo-
ouence and earnestness, played so
great a part in the crowded events
of the period that within three
months he was the dominant figure
in Russia.
It was as minister of war that this
young Napoleon" made his mark.
BY sheer force of personality he in
spired the disorganized Russian ar
my to fight. At the front his elo-
auence and inspiring example were
such that an observer said the army
was reborn before his eyes"
But it is evident that something
went wrong somewhere. Apparently
il was not Kerensky's fault, but that
of the ministry, for after the spirit
of revolt and mutiny had spread thru
the army the war minister, at cabi-
net meeting, denounced certain MEM
bers for permitting discipline to be re-
Taxed and for not performing their
duties in helping to maintain the Of
fensive which he had undertaken with
brilliant prospects of success. The re-
suit was that Kerensky was made
premier, as we'll as minister OF war
and marine, and today is easily the
most important parsonage in Russia.
Helpless in the crisis, those about him
seem to be glad to entrust him with
the responsibility of bringing order
out of chaos.
What the outcome will be nobody
knows with certainty. The army is ad-
mittedly in a serious state because
of the detection Of numerous regi-
ments. But the most hopeful circum-
stance is that the council Of soldiers.
workmen and peasants-represent-
ing the most powerful element in
Russia-has conferred unlimited"
power upon Kerensky and his govern
ment to restore order at home and in
trenches in order that the war may
be carried on to a successful conclu-
sion.
Thus it rests with Kerensky. He is
the man of the hour. If he fails and
Russia goes to pieces, the effect on
the war will be far-reaching. If he
succeeds, it will be to the glory of
himself, to Russia and to the allies.
With Russia behind him, he should
win.

How kaf6rs Smoke.

The natives of South Africa are In
veterate smokers, but some Of them in.
dulge In the habit In distinctly queer
fashion. The natives Of Harrismith, In
the Orange River Colony. smoke In the
following novel manner: A pipe" is
made by thrusting two sticks into the
ground so as to meet at an angle; when
they are withdrawn two tunnels are
left behind. A hollow reed is stuck IN
one hole and the tobacco placed in the
other and lighted. Before beginning
operations the native fills his mouth
with water, draw wing In the smoke with
a gurgling sound and blowing out the
water and smoke through a second
reed. 1t seems a mighty poor way Of
smoking to a white man. says q writer
In the Wide World Magazine. but the

Chemistry Can Convert u Into Many
Useful Materials.
Although any one will concede that
man cannot live by bread alone, It has
been thought possible to get along
rather nicely II milk were added to the
diet. But 1t remained for two French
chemists, Francois .Lebreil and Raoul
Desgeorge. to conceive an idea where
by milk may also be made to yield
fabric which may he converted into
clothing and ornaments.
The curds of the milk are subjected
to a chemical treatment by means Of
which the mass Is converted into a
plastic substance which may be rolled
into sheets resembling celluloid. from
which buttons and other articles such
as combs. umbrella handles, bric-a-
brac and even imitation leather may be
made. all of which are of attractive ap-
pearance and of excellent wearing
qualities.
The milk is first robbed Of its fat,
after which 1t is warmed with rennet

boiled and exposed to the air and then
is treated with acetone to give it the
required hardness. Elasticity and trans

Deals With That Subject.

That the Bible is true, II the his

was the decision arrived at during Il
question box" discussion at the Y.
w. c. A. yesterday, led by Mrs. Mary
C. Stevens. religious work director.
A question answered in the mega
tive was, Does one have to attend
church to be good?" 1t was decided
that II one was really good, accord
ing to the laws governing society, he
would seek good" companionship
and a true desire could thereby be
satisfied without attendance at
church.
What can one do who stands in
the midst OF shattered ideals?" was
another question answered. II was
declared that the only course to pur-
sue was to reconstruct ideals and
then start anew.
