a concession to the Puritan ideal of the
Puritan Sunday.
she recounted many of the rigid New
England religious rules, telling how
scnooimaster, after four-hour school
day. told his pupils: There now will be
prayer meeting, and those who wish
to lie down in eternal torment may go

The craving for amusement drove the
Yankee mind to many marvellous sub
terfuges. she continued. THE first
plays were described as moral lectures
the early circus was permitted under
the guise of an educational exhibit.

"The Puritans came here to find
freedom. then proceeded to suppress the

paper on the same subject, dealt es-
pecially with early UNCONVENTIONAL diff

OF the assemblage. In the midst Of his
remarks he sounded warning that Ger
many possibly might not accept the terms
which the soviet intended soon to offer.

the complete victory OF socialism. In this
aim we are assisted by the universal

Lenine then reiterated the well known
prescription for the cure OF all Of Russia's
ills: Immediate peace. suspension OF the
rights Of the estate owners, immediate
division Of the land among the peasants
men"
Then came Lenine's bombshell Al
though no one in the whole assembly re-
garded the suggestion seriously. and not a
their mark as significant, yet the fol-
lowing remark indicates that the boil

of an immediate democratic peace: 1.-THE

from Germany it Will be necessary to

Russ Army Is Urged
to Stand Firm Until
Peace Is Obtained

PETROGRAD, November 10.-The con-
gress of soldiers and workmen's dele
gates has appealed to the Russian
army to stand firm and to protect the
revolution against imperialistic at
tempts until the new government had
obtained a democratic peace.
The general congress of the soldiers
and workmen's delegates, in its procla-
nation announcing that 1t has taken
over governmental authority. says:
I'VE appeal to the soldiers in the
trenches to be vigilant and firm. The
congress expects the revolutionary
army will protect the revolution against
all imperialist attempts until the new
government has obtained democratic
peace which it will propose directly to
all the peoples.
"The new government will take ade-
quate measures to assure to the army
all necessaries and by energetic requi-
sitions from the upper classes 1t will
also ameliorate the economic situation
of soldiers families"
The proclamation concludes by urg-
ing the soldiers to prevent any attempt
by Kerensky or others to oppose the
new government.
