Sketches History of cossacks.

In a resume of the history of the Cos
sacks Director Sack says:
People in this country have been ac-
customed to consider the CossackS a
counter-revolutionary power. The ground
for this presumption lay in the fact that
the cars government had used the Cos
sacks extensively for suppressing revo-
lutionary uprisings in Russia for the
last two or three decades 1t must be
government sent against the revolution
lists not only the Cossacks but all other
units of the army well. The entire
army, as long as the cars government
was able to control it, was used in Rus
STA as a counter-revolutionary force.
There is a version that the revolu-
tion in March. 1917, started in Petrograd
after Cossack shot a police officer who
had just before killed a student for try
ing to make a revolutionary speech.
And the Cossacks in Petrograd were the
first military unit to join the revolution.
About two weeks after the revolution
the first all-Russian Cossack congress
met in Petrograd. and it is very timely
now to recall the resolution unanimously
adopted at this congress:
THE congress of the Cossacks' dele
gates of all Russia has faith in the ad-
ministrative genius of the Russian peo-
pie. which more than once has mani
Tested itself in the darkest moments of
our national history. The congress firm

ment, pursuing domestic policy based
on the consent of all the organized
democratic forces and foreign policy
in complete harmony with the allies. will
be able to guide Russia into the paths
of liberty and democracy

LACK OF JURISDICTION

The case OF Herman c. Schmidt
against the Williamsburg Knitting
Mills, Inc. and the Peninsula Bank of
Williamsburg, was called in the city
circuit court yesterday. and Judge Scott
dismissed the case in response to a
plea that he had no turisdic tion.
Schmidt sued for $3.50, alleged COM
missions on the sale OF lots In Will
lamsburg. and claimed that the pur-
chasers were located In Richmond. but
that they completed the transaction in
Williamsburg and failed to remit for
his commissions in the deal.
Two suits were filed in the circuit
court, in the case OF J. Samuel Bowers
executors against Fred c. Brauer, for
$500 and against Mendes Brauer. ad-
ministrator OF Adeline H. Brauer, for
