CITY Of SCHLUSSELBURG
SCENE OF RECENT REVOLT

Schlusselburg, suburb of Petrograd
where. it was recently reported. muni-
tions workers have participated in q
demonstration against the provisional
government of Russia, is the subject of
the following war geography bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety:
Forty miles up the Neva river, and
twenty-one miles to the east in an air
line from Petrograd is the small manu-
featuring city Of Schlusselburg. where
munitions workers are said to have
threatened to set up a separate Rus
sian republic recently.
Schlusselburg is situated on the
south bank of the Neva at the point
where the river energies from the wa
ters Of Lake Ladoga, while the small
fort, which was the original nucleus of
the town. is built on small island in
the stream.
"At the beginning of the war SchIus-
selburg had a population of only 1900.
but 1t has unquestiona bly, increased
enormously since 1914. for the whole
district along the Neva between this
point and Petrograd is succession of
manufacturing settlements.
TT is a trip of four hours by steamer
from Petrograd to Schlusselburg, while
the downstream return trip requires
one hour less. Along the route, a few
miles out of Petrograd, the voyaeer
sees on the right bank~the famous
Thornton woolen mills at Alexandroy-
skoye Selo, the largest in Russia. Next
there appears the extensive manufac-
turing establishment of the imperial
porcelain and glass works The porce-
lain plant was founded in 1744 by Tsar-
Ina Elizabeth Petrovna daughter of
Peter the Great, and the glass works in
1872, the two being united a quarter of
century ago under government man.
agement
"The Obukhov steel works and several
huge cotton factories are among the
most important of the numerous mills
along this industrial artery between the
capital and the fort city.
"Schlusselburg has had an interesting
history. 1t was probably recognized as
an admirable situation for stronghold
by the early vikings and mariners of
the Hanseatic towns who made their
way from the Baltic to Novgorod via
the Neva, Lake Ladoga and the Volk-
hov. for in 1928 the Novgorodians, who
were at war with Sweden at the time,
did establish fort here. For several
centuries the stronghold was source
Of constant dispute between Russia and
Bweden, and finally, in 1917, 1t was sur
rendered to Gustayus Adolphus by the
young Tsar Michael, other possessions
going to Sweden by the peace of Stob-
Iowa being the provinces of KeNholm
hnd Ingria. The island fort was then
known Noteborg. and was considered
The key to Finland. In 1902 Peter the
Great wrested it from the Swedes after
n assault of thirty-five hours. and its
same was changed to Schlussefburg."

Denied Right to Vote.

Citizens of Washington, which means
the District of Columbia, do not vote.
From the founding of the capital, save
for brief exception in the distant past
on purely local matters, they have been
disfranchised and this strangely anom-
alous situation perpetuated.
Congress will be slow to surrender
its prerogative of running Washington.
Truth to tell, it has run it mighty well
to date. The wonderful city stands as
an impressive and growing Exhibit A
of congressional generosity and wis
dom. Washington for all time will be
a governmental city-essentially the
governmental city. Its character is un-
changeable. Expanding and growing
more beautiful as the years go on, never
will it be localized. It cannot be.
But there is valid claim to the
franchise on the part of the District of
Columbia modified form of franchise.
The situation is not only anomalous.
but wrong. To deny a voice. any voice
whatever. in affairs OF District and ma
tion to so fine body of people as have
their being at the National Capital. the
center of American culture, is inde-
fensible.

ALL HAIL THE BEAUTY
Of AMERICAS CAPITAL
Scott C. Bone Writes Of Washington
in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.

Washington is the city beautiful In
this second decade of the twentieth
century it realizes the dreams of it's
founders.
L-Enfant's plans have not been ad-
hered to literally. but there has been
general hewing to the line in the years
OF city building and no radical depart
ure from the artistic designs of the
great engineer to whom George Wash
fngton intrusted the laying out of the
nations seat and it's scope of develop
nent. It is today the capital they in
tended it should be-perhaps surpass-
Ing in grandeur the most roseate vision
of that primitive day. 1t is the dis
tinctive American city-the city of
cities, destined to Secome increasingly
beautiful under the continued prodigal,
yet wise, paternalistic care of proud
and generous government.
People speak of Washington as "one
of the most beautiful cities in the
world There is no exaggeration in
such encomium. Indeed, it falls short
of full truth or adequate praise. World
travellers today unhesitatingly give
Washington equal rank with Paris,
Berlin. Buenos Aires and Rio, and some
of them avow that it eclipses all other
capitals.
A Revelation to ENJOYS.
To the European envoys now receiv-
ing the homage of sympathetic land
and. more important still, the substan-
tial material assistance of liberty
loving allied republic, the American
capital was revelation that fairly
amazed them. London and Paris are
in somber garb-harried from without,
and in sackcloth and ashes. fguratively
speaking, as the result of wars raw
ages. The two capitals are in semi
darkness at night. Day and night, a
pail hangs over them. Imagine, then,
the impression upon Balfour, Viviani,
TrfFv k1otv r,,t&a ,1o,,e,

American capital. where light abounds
and Miss Springtime is on parade.
Words could not express the thrill that
stay the beauty of Washington has
been the burden of their conversation
with new-made friends.
Beauty, however, is not Washington's
solitary charm. The life of the fair
city is altogether charming. 1t is cos
mopolitan. In IT'S transformation it
has acquired metropolitan air and
carries it naturally. By contrast the
