A
LAND OF
AZ RACES

Russia, the newest demOc-
racy, embraces one-sixth of
the land surface of the earth
$3.50, 900 square miles,
the largest contiguous realm
of any nation.
IL stretches from the Baltic sea,
Germany and Sweden on the west,
to the Pacific ocean and Boring
straits, across from Alaska on
the east, and is therefore. with
the exception of Canada and Mex
leo, the nearest neighbor of the
United States.
On the south Russia touches
the Black and Caspian seas, and
is bounded by Austria. Rumania,
Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, Brit
ish India and the outlying domin-
ions of China and Japan.
The population of the im-
mense nation, thrice the size
of the United States eNeIud-
ing Alaska, is only 100000
900 people, some 20,OOO,OOO
more than that of this coiIn-
try. The population of the
British empire is about no.
100000, but is scattered all
over the earth.
Seventy per cent of the Russian
population adhere to the Greek
Catholic church.
F'orty-two different nationali-
ties comprise the empire.
OF the 100, 100000 people, six
ty million are Muscovites tor
Great Russiansl and eighteen
million Ukrainians COR Little Rus
sians.) There are eight million
Poles in the empire.
The empire was started by a
Scandinavian, Rurik, in SG2 A. ID.
Previously the great steppes had
been inhabited by unordered
tribes. With Kiev as his capital,
Rurik and his heirs conquered
the neighboring tribes and fought
the Turks.
In the thirteenth century the
Russians were defeated by the
Mongols under Genghis Khan,
whose successor overran eastern
Russia, destroyed Moscow, and
wiped out the Russian army.
The Mongol invasion destroyed
local self-government and threw
Russia about 200 years behind
the rest of Europe in progress.
The Mongol yoke was broken in
1880. Russian rulers afterward
turned their minds to the west,
and conquered Finland (from
Sweden) and partook in the d.
vision of Poland and Turkey.
Revolutionary terrorism start
ed in 1881 with the assassination
of Gear Alexander. 1t reached a
boiling point in 1901 and culmin-
ated in 1906 with the establish
ment of the duma, the first mod
ern Russian congress.
This was almost coincident
with Russia's disastrous defeat by
Japan in the war of 1904 and
1905, which cost her the deep
water port of Port Arthur.
Since 1906 Russian official
dom's main efforts have been di-
rected toward obtaining Constan-
tinople as a port on warm water
to offset the loss of Port Arthur.

INTRIGUE BEGAN BIG DRIVE

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. Light
is thrown upon hitherto unexplained
references to German intrigue in the
ranks of the Italian army by an off,
cial dispatch received here from Rome.
1t tells how OIL the eve Of their great
offensive the Teutons circulated
among the soldiers at certain parts Of
the Italian front newspapers carrying
sensational stories of rebellions in
Italian provinces, of English soldiers
shooting down women and children
and of French cavalrymen riding owe
the bodies of agitators.
In further explanation of the
breakdown of the Italian defense. the
message says Italian speaking Bull
garians and Croats in Italian uniforms
penetrating the lines on the w of the
offensive, caused great confusion by
telephone orders for the abandonment
Of important positions.

MACON, Mo-, Nov. 20. - With
virtually no water in the city reser-
'voir, Macon last night for a short time
faced destruction by a fire which
swept the north side of Burke street,
between Ruby and Rollins avenues,
entailing a loss Of $50, 900.
The flames originated in the feed
and sales stable Of James Struthficld
and were soon beyond control. Rob-
ert Jones, Fire Chief, dynamited
buildings at each end of the block to
check the spread of the conflagration.
The places of business destroyed
are:
Struthfield's livery stable.
John Troester's feed barn.
Frank Lucas blacksmith shop.
White Star Automobile Livery gar
age and shops.
Tom Cloyd's restaurant.
Barber shop.
What caused the fire has not been
determined. All of the horses in
Struthfield's place we're removed in
safety. The White Star Company's
machines were removed.
There was scarcely a days supply
of water for the city in the reservoir
when the fire started. This little
was soon exhausted.

Harry c. Turner was in Moberly en-

counties investigating government
cases for the Department of Justice
MI. Turner modestly admitted that he
knew when the war would end, but in
t'mated that it would not be eonsis-

ton at this time.
One thing, however, that Mr.. Tur-
ner did say with all emphasis at hi.
command, was that it is EXTREMELY
dangerous to make seditious or treas
enable statements until the war does
close.
