Traitors Soon.

Washington, Nov. 10.--First official
news of the Russian upheayal came TO
the government today from Ambassa-
dor Francis, but added nothing to the
news dispatches Of the last three days
and gave state department officials
nothing on which to form judgments
as to the course of the United States.
II was made plain that the United
States can have no dealings with the
Maximalists unless they attain the
proportions of a party in de facto con-
trol OF the country. The Russian en-
hassy here, disclaiming that the Boil
slieyki represent Russia. announced.
in formal declaration, that 1t would
not respect anv actions the Lenine
governmentymign take.
Question for America.
The immediate question before
American officials is to what extent
credits already extended TO the Ke-
rensky government may be used for
the benefit of those who may oppose
the allied cause in the war. Officials
who would have charge of stopping
shipments of supplies TO Russia were
silent when asked to indicate their
course.
There seems to be no doubt, how
ever, that the vast quantities of ma
terial being manufactured for Rus
sian account in the United States will
not be permitted to leave the country
ii ii is apparent that they are going
to fall into the hands of thos disposed
to make separate peace with Ger
many.
Revolution Hoped For. :.
The hope of the United States and
Russian officials here turns to the
possibility that the conservative ele-
ment of Russia, with the Cossacks of
the Ukraine, will consolidate to set up
a government representative of all
Russia, although civil war may be
the result.
Meanwhile, 1t Is believed that Ger
man possession of Helsingfors and the
Aland islands, making possible Teu-
tonic occupation of Petrograd, opens
the way for a display of the real in
tentions of the Bolsheviki element
and will show whether its triumph has
been the fruit of German intrigue
or whether its spirit is truly Rus
sian.

His sword, and keep him pure, and
give success
So. kneeling, Lord, beneath Thine altar

Such passionate love toward the dear

Simple. large gifts that soldiers need.
o Lord,
Grant the young nation for its un,

And for our captains in the perilous,

A vision widened to an unknown day. g

Let not Gods will go down; bring

Triumph OF Popular Will

A CTUAI. inauguration of the work of the
civic survey is an incident OF large con-
sequence in the history Of Rchmond's mu-
nicipal government, 1t is an important for
ward step in the development of the civic
conscience-of that sense Of intimate per-
eonal responsibility for the good or ill CON
duet OF the city's affairs that every citizen
should feel.
In this sense the survey has implications
far beyond its actual purpose and scope. 1t is
necessary, of course, that Richmond take
advantage Of modern thought and that it
apply TO the solution Of its governmental
problem the lessons derived from the expert
ence of other municipalities. but it is even
more necessary that the people of Richmond,
of every class and degree, should come to
understand that the city's affairs their
affairs vitality related to their material aud
spiritual welfare.
The survey is one Of the first fruits of this
new conception Of public responsibility. The
movement from which it has resulted has
had its leaders, neutrality-suspicious. Glasgow
f. l.. Bemiss. Wyndham Meredith, John C.
Easley, John Kerr Branch and many others
have poured their hearts into this work and
the newspapers. without exception, have
given 1t their support--but the credit, after
all, belongs to the people. Without their
perfect understanding of the essential sanity
and justice of the proposal and their earnest
authorities, no survey ever would have been
had. We need not go into narrowing de-
tails, but neither the amenities nor the
truths OF history are violated by the state
ment that those in present charge of Rich
mondS deStinies, with few notable excep-
lions, were not hospitable to the thought of
placing the machinery Of government under
the inspection Of imported experts.
1t is the people, therefore. who are en-
titled to the credit. and there is poetic JUS
tice in the thought that if they maintain their
interest and watchfulness. they will certainly
receive the profit. So far as is possible, they
should be. and we assume will be. taken
into the confidence of those engaged in the
conduct of the survey at every stage of it's
progress. The very thought of star-cha mber
proceedings in the discussion of charter
changes is hateful There should be full
and frank publicity If either Council or
the Civic Association fayors tolerates any
other course, 1t must meet the quick resent
ment OF an active and indignant public senti-
ment
No charter, forced on an unwilling or
apathetio public. can realize possibly the high
hopes the advocates of charter changes en-
terrain. Water does not rise above it's
source, nor government democratic govern
ment. at any rate-above the conscience the
intelligence and the will Of those governed
Richmond is going to have exactly that eff
hciency, economy and enlightenment in the
conduct OF its affairs that Richmond truly
desires AS a man thinketh in his heart,
so Is he" says the Psalmist, and the same
truth applies to cities and to nations A bad
charter can hamper and good charter can
give most valuab and necessary help, but
the people rule if they only will.
