Col Kalpaschnikoff attributes this new
idea Of the Russian government to the
war. This is but one Of the many things
taught US by the war;" he said. War is
certainly not all bad. Nothing ever has
happened productive Of SO much good to
Russia. 1 sometimes think that the mil
lions in money and the thousands in men
that 1t has cost us will be compensated
for by the great and lasting good which
will come to our people. New ideas and
new situations which have confronted us
been behind
You are overcoming the anarchist
societies and all that sort of thing?
the colonel was asked:
"Oh. yes" he replied. they give prac-
tically no trouble. There has never
been u time when the car was so be-
loved by the great mass of his people.
The soldiers are enthusiastic about
the socialist" and anarchist" plots of
Russia are mostly evolved from the in
ner consciousness of those who know
us least. We have had very little of
that. Russia is not the black place
that it has been pictured.
Preparing for Time of Peace.
ct may sound rather paradoxical,
but it is true. that in this period of
y
ton for a time of peace than ever be-
fore in her history. There has never
been so much money appropriated for
internal improvements as during the
past year. when the war expenses have
been greatest. The education bill was
many times the biggest in the history
of the empire and if the educational
system develops along the lines which
are planned. we will have more free
schools per capita than any other coun-
try in the world.
"Of course our greatest need is trans
portation facilities. That is what has
proved our most serious handicap in
the present crisis. We are going to
meet this need and already are plan
ming for it. In that Americans can be
of great assistance to US. We already
are mapping out a system of railroads
which will mean millions to Russian
industry. But we will need Americans
to build the roads and to show us how
to set up factories.
Our plan is to have a central in
formation bureau. say in New York,
which will act as a sort of clearing
house for reliable information concern
ing Russia. This will have branches
purpose. In addition to the dispense
ton of information, it will act as an
employment agency That's it, we are
going to have what you know as en-
ployment agencies, where we will en-
ploy Americans of all kinds--men with
brains. who can help us in our work of

building Russia. We will offer induce
ments sufficient to make them come
to US.
Not Dark and UnciviHzed Land.
'Of course. all this sort of thing is
not to give the impression. which un-
fortunately many Americans have, that
Russia is dark and uncivilized land.
The idea concerning Russia. for which
the photoplay and the melodrama are
mainly responsible. that it is a land
where people are beaten with whips in
the hands of ruthless Cossack riders is
absolutely unfounded. OF course. the
peasantry is poor in many parts of the
empire, but on the whole they are
happy. You know Siberia is far from
being the cruel and cherries place
which the readers of tales of Siberian
mines would have you believe. The
penal mines are a thing of the past.
The land is not infested by ravenous
wolves on the surface nor honeycomb-
ed with mines where wretches are
forced by INSCRIPTIONS rulers to slave
and waste their lives away under the
lash of the slave driver and the coer
cion of the armed soldier. AS a mat
ter of fact, Siberia is the pride of Rus
Sia."

lation as to its effect upon the supply
of munitions to Europe.
The news of the sinking of the Amer
lean steamer HouSatonic, as well as the
contents of the Presidents address,
came too late for the evening papers,
but wherever the sinking of the Amer
lean vessel was known it was assumed
that it would go far toward precipitat-
ing war. The new German campaign
of unrestricted submarine warfare is
regarded here with composure.
On the other hand, the withdrawal of
the shipping of Scandinavia, Holland
and Spain from traffic with England is
recognized as a serious factor. The
public, however, looks confidently to
the admiralty to speed up it's anti-sub-
marine measures, at least as fast as
Germany increases her fleet of subma-
rines. while it is expected that the Ger
man ships in American ports will soon
reinforce Atlantic mercantile traffic.
Embassy Prepared for Change.
Ever since the Lusitania crisis the
American embassy has been prepared
to turn over to some other neutral at
moments notice the work it has been
carrying on in behalf of the central
powers. Plans have been evolved to
effect this change with as little dis
location as possible.
The American embassy and consul
late were crowded with Americans
seeking passports and making in
quiries. The scenes resembled those
of the early days of the war, when
Americans were seeking means to re-
turn home. The American consul gen.
eral, Robert P. Skinner, reports that
judging from what he has learned from
the masters of American ships in these
waters, they are little disturbed by
the proclamation of a submarine block
ade. None of them has reported any
change in sailing plans.
The liner Philadelphia, due Sunday
probably will not arrive until Monday,
on account of an accident to her ma
chinery. No indication has been re-
ceived here that the Philadelphia in
tends to turn back.

Der, yet the numerical increase was less than in any year since 1909, and this also was true of the sum of money involved. That such facts appear, with more people in business than of the times.
 Separation of the failure statistics according to occupation show 361 de- faults for $6,36S,5 ,502 in manufacturing, 1,124 among traders for 3S,572, IS and 55, with liabilities of $3,342, 100, in other commercial lines not properly included in either of the two leading classes. The number of manufa ctur- ing insolvencies was the smallest for the period since 1910 and the amount the lightest since 1912 while it is necessary to go back to 1907 to find so few trading reverses and back to 1909 to discover so moderate an in debtedness. Similarly, failures among agents, brokers, etc, were less nu- merCus than for several years, though one default of unusual size sweIled the liabilities above normal. Without exception, all of the fifteen different branches of business in the trading division reported fewer insolvencies than in January, 1916, and among manufacturers numerical increases occurred only in woolens and allied lines, lumber, carpenters, etc., and in chemicals and drugs.
 While exceeding the figures of recent preceding months, large failures in January made the best ex- hibit for the period since 1912, those

As reported to R. G. bun &.

There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds
 as Mustard

But the old-fashioned rnustard-plaster burned and blistered while 1t acted. You can now get the relief and help that mustard plasters gave, without the plas- ter and without the blister.
 Musterole does it. It is a clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. It is scientifically prepared, so that it works wonders, and yet does not blister the tenderest skin.
 Just massage Musterole in with the. finger tips gently. See how quickly it brings relief how speedily the pain disappears.
 Use Musterole for sore throat, bron- chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil- plains, frosted feet, colds of the chest Kit often prevents pneumonia).
