Russia's Famous General Made Him.
self . Popular Hero.
General Korniloff is considered the
pluckiest general in the Russian army.
The story of his career reads like q
fairy tale.
Short of stature, with a bristllng mus
tache, Korniloff, who is a general of
the Siberian cossacks, first became
known during the Russian retreat In
the Carpathians in 1915. Against des-
perate odds he held out with his dlvi-
sion till he himself was taken prisoner
by the TeutOns. For several months
he was interned In Austria and had Q
very hard time there.
In 1916 he decided to escape. Dis
guised as peasant. risking his life on
many occasions, he walked hundreds
Of miles across the Carpathians into
Roumania. When he finally arrived In
Russia he was greeted with unbOunded
Joy by the army. His feat also made
him very popular with the entire ma.
ton. This made 1t possible for him to
gain the great honor, Immediately after
the revolution. Of being the first COM
mandant of the revolutionary army at
Petrograd.
In this capacity he was dispatched to
Tsarskoe SelO to arrest the czarina.
The scene that followed his arrival at
the residence Of Nicholas RomanOf on
March Fl has become histOric.-New

CONSISTENT
VIEWPOINTS.

SSlNSlS . -lN NlENNl NllN . ~
The truly religious person wisely
avoids debate. Not that he has any
more chance of losing in it than has
the scientific one, but that if he sticks
consistently to and reasons logically
from his premises or postulates, he
is as much justified in his claim Of
being right as the one whose stand
point is scientific.
All standpOints are borrowed. And
since inconsistency is the real crime,
then where ones thoughts
actions correspond with the stand
point, or standpOints, taken, then
there can be no other way out Of it
but to say that in being consistent
from that standpoint he is right
from that standpoint.
If, on the other side, a person
whose philosophy is egoism and
whose object is the spreading of the
gospel. Of egoism, so as to advertise
its benefits, where these benefits are
not seen, to go finally, to himself,
then it really meTges into altruism,
which course means inconsistency,
error, wrong from the truly
egOtistic standpoint But whoever
sees that egoism benefits only him

ASKS FOR RED CROSS EXAMS.
The course for the Red Cross costs
$40. No examination is given where
by they might test the ability and ex-
penence of applicants. Some means
should be devised whereby eXamina-
tiOns could be conducted making
those who pass it available for serv-
ice. They could perform wherever
needed regardless of the manner in
which the skill has been acquired.
The Red Cross at the present time
offers the only channel through
which volunteers for service as nurse
aids become eligible for acceptance.
The cost is $40 and offers nothing to
fit women for efficient service as
