tence, he was brave enough to risk
death himself and even brave enough
to permit killings in the streets OF
Petrograd.
At IL o'clock that night Lenine and
Trotsky lost control of the machine
gun men. "AIl right" they said to
them, march through the streets and
run around with your armored cars
IL you wish to, but don't shoot, and
return to your barracks at mid
night"
Within fifteen minutes the sounds
of rifle shooting were filling the city,
and men, women, and children were
dying in the streets. Kerensky, dash
ing down to the Nicholai station in
an automobile, got onto a special
train and was beyond the outskirts
of the city when a band OF men came
to the depot, seeking to arrest him.

For three days the terror reigned and
then subsided.
Kerensky came back as a hero and
ordered the arrest OF Lenine and Trot-
sky. The former Escaped" that is,
no one even tried to find him. Trotsky
was found and Jailed. but Kerensky
pardoned him. And thus he laid the
trap in which he was later caught
and ruined.

STOCKHOLM CBy MaiD, Oct "a
Kerensky's strength has always rest
ed In his courage and his utter dis
regard for. his life. From the very
nrst days Of the revolution his life
has hung by a cord.
The newspapers say your papa Is
nick, but 1 don't believe it" said
little chap on the playground of
public school In Petrograd to Ken
ensky's ten-year-old son.
asae Is too sick" said little Reren-
sky. jr., but 1 heard him tell NAM
ma that he must keep alive to help
save Russia"
with one kidney removed by an
operation which, the doctors told him
was a hundred to one chance against
success, Kerensky has looked death
IN the face, and that vision seems to
have given him a disregard for his
life that stood him in good stead In
the DAYS when he was at the head
Of the Russian government.
Rerensky's only fault is that he has
been willing to die but he has not
been willing to kill.
July Uprising.
The July uprising of the Bolshe-
Wiki, when some 500 men, women,
and children were killed in the streets
of Petrograd during a reign Of terror
that lasted three days, was a fine
instance Of Kerensky's bravery.
The First Machine Gun Regiment
for weeks had been BOlsheviki., 1t
had demanded that all the power OF
the government be turned over to the
council, Of workmen and soldiers.
Time after time the delegates Of the
machine gun .regiment-which had
some 500 machine guns and twenty
armored cars-came to Kerensky and
threatened to go into the streets and
make an armed show OF power IL he
would not agree to surrendering the
government to the workmen and
soldiers. The working men from the
great factories. all of whom had arms
in their homes, as Kerensky well
knew, made similar threats. Keren-
sky, knowing that much OF the army
was behind these men, refused.
Went to Palace.
On July Is the machine gun men
and the working men went to the
dancers palace, where Lenine and
Trotsky held forth, and demanded the
right 20 go into the streets and dem
onstrate. All that day Lenine, who
was sick in bed, and Trotsky pleaded
with the soldiers and workingmer
net to go into the streets. During the
day delegations passed back and forth
between the various barracks and the
dancers palace. Lenine and Trotsky
were afraid. have had hrst-hand
stories of the terrors that existed in
that palace that bloody day.
They sent word to Kerensky asking
him to temporize with the soldiers
Kerensky stood pat. Unwilling &c
kill, an adversary OF the death sen

MANY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
INVEST IN LIBERTY LOAN
Set an Example for Others to Follow,
Is View Of Herbert
A. Meyer.

This buying of liberty bonds is
showing the hearts of the American
people are in the right place." said
Herbert A. Meyer, assistant to Secre-
tary Lane. today. 1T has been very
interesting to me to see the make
shifts that some of the employees of
the Interior Department have resorted
to, just because of their zeal to do their
share in lending to the government
1T is not always the man or woman
subscribing for a bond alone who lends
to Uncle SAM sometimes the spirit
works its way in through his family,
his associates or the people with whom
he does business" Mr.. Meyer contin-
ued. TO give you an example: The
other day one of the employees Of this
department told our liberty loan COM
mittee that he was really very anxious
to buy bond, but. as he was paying
on a doctors bill. he was afraid he
could not manage It. He said he was
going to try to find way.
To-day that man came back and said
he'd been to see his doctor. The doc
tor was willing to take the bond as
collateral for the bill. So, Mr.. Gov
ernment Clerk is paying his doctors
bill and buying a bond all at the same
time. That's the spirit of cooperation
all along the line, which is a guaran-
tee of a support for the government
that must win the war"

Washington is moving some, has

the Marine Band. Washington then
was spineless Washington, and still

and cease to pretend that 1t surrender
ed the right of self government for the

CAMPFIRE GIRLS URGED
TO AID LIBERTY BOND SALE
Head of Organization Issues Appeal
From His Headquarters in
New York.

An appeal to the Campfire Girls to aid
in making the second liberty bond sale
a success has been issued by DR.. Luther
H. Gulick, president of the organiza-
ton. from his headquarters In New
York.
Just because there are so many or
sanizations and agencies actually
pushing and selling the bonds" he said.
don't thing that your own efforts will
be superf1uous. If every Campfire Girl
brought up the subject of buying a
liberty bond ten times q day. that
would be more than a million times a
day that it was brought to the front.
If every Campfire Girl tried to have at
least one bond owned in her own home,
that would mean 10000 homes which
would be helping the government di-
rectly. The bonds can be bought
through any bank in the United States
on easy payments.
The great effort of those who are
selling the bonds is to have them dis
tributed as widely as possible. to have
rs many Of our citizens as possible
shareholders in this great war for
freedom and right. I believe that the
girls who are carrying out our pa
triotic wartime program are just the
girls to help create the sentiment
which will sell these bonds. They are
as safe as our government itself. In
deed, they are part of it. They pay as
high a rate of interest as is compatible
with equal safety in no other invest
ment that your families could make.
In fact, there is no other investment as
safe. You need not hesitate to ask
very one you know whether he or
she has yet bought q liberty bond. Re-
member that President Wilson Is hon
orary president of this organization.
and that in helping to sell the bonds
you are helping him directly to care
for the interests OF US all"

RAISING FUND FOR HOME.

Satisfactory Progress.

Satisfactory progress is announced by
the Medical Society of the District Of
Columbia in Its campaign to raise funds
for an adequate and handsome structure
for its meetings, to house its archives.
and for other organization purposes The
edifce planned will not be club house
In any sense Of the word, but rather an
amphitheater of size sufficient to seat
the 600 members OF the society, with ad-
joining rooms necessary for committee
meetings. etc The fund to be raised
has been placed at 100000 and the
money has been coming both through
assessments and solicited contributions.
DR.. E Y. Davidson is chairman of
the finance committee, DR.. ?. S. Roy Of
the committee on site, which Is already
considering various downtown loca-
tions, and DR.. Frank Leech of the build
ing and maintenance. The society has
been in existence for more than a cen
tury and has never had a gathering

Cheer Up.

Cheer up, cheer upl If you are
sound, no sign of illness giving,
you have no right to paw around
about the cost of living. No man
has any right to snort, or let tears
run in rivers, unless we know that
he is short some legs and arms
and livers. Cheer up! Though
it is quite chore to stock the
bin and larder, a gloomy mug
won't bring you more-just
buckle down the harder. Cheer
upl The prices make you yell,
when you 60 forth as buyer, but
when you've anything to sell, the
price keeps going higher. I sell
my labor every day for quite a
roll of dollars; what matter, then,
if l must pay high price for shirts
and collars? My father got lot
more -four than do for a shilling,
but / earn more in half an hour
than he by all days drilling.
Cheer up! There's work for every
lad, success for him who pushes;
the hustler finds the shining scad
is growing on the bushes. Cut
out the worries and alarms, toll
like the bees that humble; the
man who has no legs or arms
alone has right to grumble.
