RUSSIANS HAVE
 MASS PSYCHOSIS

PETROGRAD, Sept.-The Russian revolution has produced mental di- sease which is characterized by Prof. P. J. Rosenbach, president of the association of psychiatrists, as mass psychosis." In other words, the birth of political freedom has been drivint; many persons insane.
 1t is a mistake to assume that war makes sane men mad, according to pro' Rosenbach, who says that dur ing the war he has treated between COCO and 1000 insane soldiers, but that in no case did ,le discover that the victims mental affliCtiop had been caused by war horrors or pri- vatiLns
 Turing the first mon.h e the Ievo lution the rate of no'bidiy from mental disease rose dD astonishing extent Prof Rosenbach inquired into the victims antecedents and found, he says, that these men and women had been entirely normal and that they did not come from tainted families He ascribes their sudden insanity to the sudden and drastic changes in Russian political, social and intellectual life. One of the symptoms of mass psychosis," he says, is "infatuation with commit tees. delegations and demonstrations"
 Similar phenomena were observed during the French revolution after the war of 1S70-71, Prof Rosenbach observes.

DUTCH PLEAD WITH ENGLAND
 FOR TEXTILES

ENSCIIEDE, Netherlands, Sept 27. The Dutch cotton spinning and weaving industry is greatly disquict- ed by the threatened reduction of Britain's cotton exports to Holland by two-thirds, and a deputation is being sent to London, to persuade the authorities to revoke or modify the decision.
 Dutch spinners had long been put on rations by Britain. Should the projected measure be put into ef- feet and direct shipments from Am erica. of which there appears at the moment to be little prospect, prove unobtainable, working hours will have to be still further curtailcd and possibly number of mills shut down.
 Hollands textile center, the dis trict of Twente, appears to have booked very satisfactory results in 1916, judging by the annual report of the Enschede chamber of com merce despite all the difficulties continually met with in the raw ma terial supply and the increased cost thereof, as wlel as dearer transport and other adverse factors. Spinners were overloaded with work.

The duke studies the stars and aeronautical science and grows grapes for wine For time he pur- sued archaeological research, for which Crimea is a fertile field, but the authorities later forbade this, sus- pecting some untoward but uneX- plained purpose in his explorations and excavations.
 Nicholaievitch, who was once com mander-in- chief of the army on the southern front, lives on his wife's estate at Tchapri, also near Yalta, He is writing memoirs intended to be preserved in the academy of sci ences and published after his death. He is engaged also on monograph, Who is Really Responsible for the World War;" which will appear in historical review.

 default Of $5,eo0 bail. ordered at the
 time Of his arraignment by Commits sioner Reed w Heilig, awaiting an opportunity, he says, to plead guilty to the crime and to take his mcdi- cine Rose walked into the district attorneys office yesterday morning and confessed to being a stacker to Assistant District Attorney Harry r. Pratt. Then. released by the official on his own reCognzanCc, Rose went to the city hall and registered in accordance with the provisions of the conscription law, returning to the district attorneys office in the after noon. as he had been told to do. and giving himself up to the law
 Rose, according to MT. Pratt, knew that he was under investigation. The age he claimed was first suspected of being false by Chief of Police Wiseman, who questioned him about it, Rose claiming to have attained his thirty first birthday on August 9, when in reality the date of his birth was September 9. He therefore had not become thirty-one years of age at the time that registration closed on September ? The chief took Rose to the district attorneys office, where the now self-confessed slack CT held stoutly to his first story that his birthday was on August g, but, when told that he would be officially by the authorities, he evidently thought that it would be better to confess his real age.
 Chief Wisemans ability to judge human nature is given the credit for the arrest of Rose. The defendant in the case has waived a preliminary examination and expressed a willing ness to be sentenced when arraigned yesterday. He must, however go before the higher court for sentence. The fact that he has now registered does not mitigate the crime accord ing to statements made in the dis trict attorneys office

 OFF TO FRANCE

Another young Fairbanksan is probably on the firing line by now. He is Roy Porter, son of MT. and Mrs Clarence ". Porter of this city. He sailed from New York for a French port on August p, ac- COrding to a letter received by his parents. and should be in France be fore this time.
 Young Porter, it will be remem- bered, joined the aviation corps of the army last spring while on a visit to the Outside. After enlisting in Seattle he was sent to an aviation training camp at San Antonio, Texas, where he spent the entire summer.
 Porter writes enthusiastically of his experiences at San Antonio. He tells of making several flights, one of them with his captain, to a height of 4,OOO feet. In the machine with the officer the young Fairbanksan did all kinds of aerial stunts, such as looping the loop, the death drop, etc.
 The boat on which the contin- gent of aviators including Porter left New York was the interned German merchant steamship 'Vaterland.' y There was 1900 men in the con tingent There were also 500 nurS- es. The ship was conveyed by five American warships on it's trip across the ocean.

 Boris Savinkoff is 3S years old, having been born in January, 1879, at Warsaw, where his father was a magistrate His mother belonged 10 an old Ukraine family, fact which has it's importance at the present moment Boris passed through the Warsaw high school and went to Petrograd to study law.

 Without trial, Sayinkoff was de ported to Vologda, in the extreme north of European Russia, where he lived quietly with his wife and child. There he was visited by the ia nous grandmother of the reyolu- tion," Madame Breshkoyskaya, who asked him to join a terrorist orga- nization. After taking a year to consider, he agreed.

He escaped from Russia and reached Geneva, where he got into touch with the famous Azeff (afterwards shown by Bourtseff to be an agent of the Rus sian government masquerading as a revolutionary.
 Savinkoff and his friend from boy hoods days, kaliayeff, returned to Russia to prepare the 'removaP' of the prime minister, Plehye. When this was effected, it was the turn of Grand Duke Serge, and other plots followed, twenty-two in all some successful, others failures.

 The Russian revolution took him back to his native land where as commissioner to the armies he strug- gled with all his might against the disorganizatiOn which threatened to nulIify the revolutions work. He was the man who had the courage, at a moment when it needed cour- age. to demand the restoration of the death penalty for towards and traitors.
 Gustave Nerve, editor of La Vic toire, was one of Sayinkoffs Paris friends. He tells how Savinkoff at the beginning of the war sought his aid to be engaged in the foreign le- zion, although Russian prisons had left his health in state that made his enlistment impossible A deputa- ton of young Russian revolution aries living in Paris came to beg the editor to prevent Savinkoff from volunteering Keep him for Rus sia, for us" they pleaded; he is one of our greatest hopes, and we will give you five hundred volun- teers, in his place, although your foreign legion is not altogether a pleasing souvenir for us.'
 (For those who do not understand the last words, it may be explained that the oldtime legionaries are fond of accusing Russians and Poles of enlisting for the sake of being fed and clothed).
 Gustave Herve explains that he had never felt like asking Savinkoff any details about his participation in the executions of Plehve and the Grand Duke Serge, but when Savin- koff was leaving for Russia last March, they had a farewell lunch together at which no one else was present except Madame Sayinkoff. Sayinkoff then described how, in broad daylight, in a crowded St. Petersburg street, he had placed his team of terrorists in position, at cer- tain intervals, and how Georges Sag anoff Ca boyhood friend of Savin- koff) had thrown the bomb which destroyed the minister's carriage de spite it's armor plates, and assassi- mated Plehve. He told how he leaned over Sazonoff, who had faint ed having been severely injured him. self by the explosion, and called out George, George!" in the now deserted street, until the chief of police came up, all trembling, his teeth chattering, crazy with fear, and ordered him to move on.
 The execution of the Grand Duke Serge was more dramatic. After two months of watching their opportuni- ty.. the terrorist team had it's chance. The grand dukes carriage was ap- preaching from the theatre, and Kal- iayeff was raising his arm in signal. Savinkoff, a few yards away, saw Kaliayeff's arm fall again. It was all over, thought Savinkoff; the DO lice escort must have noticed the | gesture and known that it was a signal. But mo- they had failed to observe anything and Savinkoff re- joined his friend to ask why he had , changed his mind

The place is about one mile down stream from Nenana and is the point where the ferry slip will be constructed. It is understood here that the ferry will be constructed in the spring and every summer until the big railroad bridge across the river here is com p!eted.
