The Russian Chaos

When the family next door disa-
grees within itself, the wise man
stavs in his own little bunk and
waits till it's over. The man who
is not wise rings the doorbell and
tries to 9uell the riot. Immediate
" he finds that he is the centre OF
gravity toward which all caustic re-
marks and other things-are di-
rected. And when he beats an in
glorious retreat, the fight goes on,
stimulated by his interference, and
lasts. twice as long as It would have
had he remained on his side Of the
door.
There are many people In this coun-
try Just now who have nothing TO
worry about but Russla--and It's family
row. With their morning coffee they
take on a gloom that lasts all day be-
cause a headline announces that the
latest regime has been overthrown and
new one substituted. They wonder
what Russia Is going to do. They won
der which way the government Is going
to Jump. They moan that it's pity
so much depends upon Russia. They
resurrect that maniac Rasputin and
make him the subject Of endless debate
and manufacture mental interior
decorations Of the ex-Czar's new seven
and-ba.h. And formerly all that Rus
STA meant In the young lives of these
same people was that 1t replenished de-
pleted Ghettos in these United States.
Russia is growing family. on a
gigantic scale. II must work out It's
own salvation. The best intentions in
the world will he misinterpreted by
half the population and extolled by the
other half if they are offered by an
outsider. There are certain illnesses
which must run their courses-no mat
ter how high-priced the prescribing
physician, or how ill-tasting the pre-
scription. Russia is suffering from such
an Illness. Don't try to be the doctor
who imagines he can bring its blood
pressure down to normal.
In other words: stop worrying
about Russia-you'ye got your hands
full at home"
Devote every atom of energy that
you've been expanding on other nations
toward driving your own flag a step
nearer the goal. It Is true that Russia
is an ally and, as such, must create
interest. But the help that It needs
IS not the superfuous word Of advice.
An object lesson-a demonstrations
far more valuable at this crisis. And
what more poignant object lesson could
it have than country whose every
subject moves In perfect accord and
concentrated strength toward shining
goal' That Is the sort Of inspiration
needed
Forget Ru,sia-dnd remember Uncle
Sam

Improving Motor Transportation

Cycles of human experiences are sup
posed to complete themselves in periods
Of five years, but with machinery It
sometimes takes longer. Just about
fifteen years ago the pleasure automo-
bile changed from chain drive to direct
shaft drive to the rear axle. Since that
time few manufacturers have put out
any other form of pleasure car, but
the truck manufacturers have been
slower to take up the new advantage,
with the result that only high-priced
trucks are chainless. II is now very
generally conceded. says one authority,
l.. Willard Milford, president of the
Mulford-Haas Company, Inc, that all
good trucks Of the future VIII be chain
less and without sprockets, thereby do
ing away with lot of noise and chain
trouble. One Of the first light capacity
trucks to adopt this system of trans"
mission is the Marvel truck, a one-and-
a-half-ton carrier, using Ford motor.
The brake feature of this truck is an
other big step in advance in low priced
commercial cars. There are two sets Of
brakes, and both are on the rear wheels.
Price considered, nothing equals the
Marvel truck for low upkeep and every
day reliability. The new principle Of
direct drive places it away ahead OF its
time in truck efficiency.

M. de Leval Tells of
German Destruction
in Belgium
Belgian Lawyer Who Defended Miss
CayeIl Addresses Rotarians
on Reconstruction

Not dishpan in Belgium, not a
copper kettle, not a cooking uten'il
tina, could be turned into bullets Is LETT
The factories have all been stripped OF
machinery. All has been carried OF TO
Germany. Only two shirts and one
blanket could be retained by each per-
son, the wine cellars were robbed ana
money taken. These and about thou
sand more ruthless things have hap
pened In Belgium, at German hands,
as recounted before the members OF
the Rotary Club at the weekly meeting
at the Hotel McAlpin by the Hon
CASTOR de I.evsl, who defended Miss
Edith Cavell, the English nurse ex'
ecutcd by the Germans At Brussels
NJ. de Ieval said that, contrary 70
newspaper reports, Miss Cayell was
courageous to the very end. JUST be
fore the trial was concluded, she SAID
allow could you expect me, an Eng
lish woman and a nurse, to hand over
TO YOU English soldiers to be shot; no
English woman would do that She
died facing her enemy with courage.
Belgian workmen. although near
starvation, have repeatedly refused to
work for the Germans. In one town
n number of workmen were gathered
together and the proposition of eight
marks n day or starvation was made
All refused except one, who was will
ing TO work at his trade. lie signed
the paper, and was asked, "What are
YOU, a carpenter or plumber" NO,
said the workman, 81 am grave dig
ger and | am willing to work for you.
According to NJ. de Leval, the
American Belgian Relief work has been
of very great assistance, for without
It thousands would have been unable
TO stem the tide of destruction wrought
bv the Germans. As a consequence
the people over there want to buy
from Americans after the war as a
mark of appreciation. He suggested
that, while the preparation for war is
wonderful, we should begin now to
prepare commercially for peace. The
Belg ian Chamber of Commerce has al,
ready been established in London, and
American manufacturers should get in
touch with It now. Belgians will need
credit, but this will be provided through
international banking arrangements
The spirit of Belgium is still undaunted
though much of the country Is In ruins
Belgium will need everything new, and
she wants TO buy it from her greatest
benefactors.
Rotarian w. Hinckley Mitchell was
responsible for the presence of the
speaker and presented him to the mem,
bers of the club in an apt, short speech
The attendance was 800. Several extra
tables had to be set to accommodate
the large gathering.

No Connection

Imitation may be tho sincerest form
OF fattery, but Rotary doesn't like 1t.
Here is notice sent out by Inter
national Headquarters.
There is a corporation In New York,
by name, Rotary Shirt Co., Inc" It
has as a trademark a wheel that re-
sembles very much our international
Rotary emblem. When we learned Of
this company's existence former
officer of the New York Rotary Club
and of the International Association
went TO the management and asked
that they be courteous enough not TO
appear to be trading upon our name and
emblem. The management absolutely
declined to give any consideration TO
our wishes or feelings in the matter.
This opportunity is taken to let 1t be
known to all that the above mentioned
corporation has no connection with or
authority from our Association or any
Of our member clubs.

Americas Word to Fix
Ocean Freight Rates
Control Of Exports and Bunk
erage Gives United States
Precedence
Istan Correspondnoel

WASHINGTON, Sept lS.-Progress
was said to-day to have been made
in the inter-Allied and American ne
gotiations looking to the regulation
and control Of ocean freight rates. 1t
was indicated that the United States
will have the largest voice in the rate
fixing, owing TO its control Of bunker
age, exports. etc.
II was believed in an official quart
or that the agreement will affect only
transatlantic rates, as 1t is TO be
war measure, the main object OF which
will be 20 benefit the Allied powers
and America and the lessening OF their
financial burdens.
To extend the rate-hxing to the
Pacific, il was said. would be imprac-
ticable, owing to the fact that Japan
maintains that the law of supply and
demand ought TO obtain there, and also
because the Pacific is free from war
risk, although japan keeps torpedo
boat destroyer fotills in the South Pa
cihc.
1t was said that the most difficult
problem in connection with the sub
ject is the amount Of reduction TO be
made in the rates.

America Leads in Furniture

Joseph L. Herschmann, the quality
furniture man, with big shop on
Sixth Avenue at Thirty-sixth Street,
said to some of his club fellows that
the progress of the American furniture
manufacturer in the last twenty-five
years was simply marvellous, from the
standpoint of well designed furniture
at moderate prices. While the vogue
now is for fine, light lines, the pieces
are nevertheless built like a modern
steel skvscraper, substantial and archi-
tectural in construction.
While labor and all materials that
enter into the building of furniture
have advanced remarkably, good, prac-
tical house furniture may still be pur-
chased at prices that give the pur-
chasers full value for the money, COM
parable with ten years ago, before the
war was thought of.
