the tools which autocratic Europe
sought to use in replacing the BOur-

In Russia the German propaganda

Socialists that the German inirigues

Police and Firemen Not Exempt.

The refusal Of the Provost Marshal
General to exempt the eligible police

Such an exception would be, as Gen

tory and contrary to the spirit Of the

II the average Of eligibility among
the police Is the same as 1t is In other

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-ST: state
laws and municipal regulations In Texas
and other Southern states provide for
the separation OF whites and negroes in
certain public places. BY removing
common cause OF race friction they are
laws that promote the keeping Of the
peace.

especially those who are Northern born
and not accustomed to such regulations.
feel there should be no difference in the
treatment OF soldiers. whatever their
color.
II Is impossible that this feeling
should be eradicated from the negro SOL
ders mind. 1t is equally impossible
that exceptions should be made whereby
the workings OF the laws should not
apply to colored men In uniform. Also
il must be considered that there are
white people in the South. as elsewhere
who are not considerate Of the feelings
OF colored people. and that there are
colored people who are anxious 10 sno"

week so many eggs were broken by

Early in July we shipped crate OF
eggs to Dedham, Mass. also by Adams

The suspension Of the InterborOugh
subway service on Saturday afternoon
would have been counted disaster If
1t had been the consequence of Ger.
man military operation against this
city. 1t caused discomfort to thou
sands of persons. hardship to many Of
them and the irritation 1t occasioned
has been increased by disclosure of
the fact that the operating officials
did not attempt any unusual method
of averting the shutdown.
The InterbOrOugh has an emergency
connection with the Edison generating
plant, and a contract for power with
the Edison company. SO far as has
been shown, the Edison company was
in a position to deliver electric cur
rent to the subway sufficient to Oper-
ate Mt least so per cent. Of its Satur'

borough did not call on the Edison
company; instead, 1t burned up Its
last scuttleful of coal, ran its trains

1T has taken some time to arouse

only yesterday I saw a large and
capable looking citizen in khaki, with

him a periodical Of popular price and

1T fell at my feet and I picked 1t up.
1T was open at an article by gifted

"She established her right to speak
with authority BY boasting that she
had to look In the dictionary to find
out what a platoon was. and that she
considered the second e In recon-

THUS equipped, she was of course
willing to lecture Black Jack Pershing
or the top sergeant on the art Of war
And to make her article more con-
vinclng she had printed in it a re-
production of a photograph showing
a handsome young candidate for
shoulder straps on the rife range, with
herself draped picturesQuely behind
him. so that her large, stylish and
probably expensive hat formed an
adorable background for his martial

Behind her in this photograph was

Kefensky In Defiant Mood.

KERENsKY's speech opening the Ma
tiOnal Conference at Moscow Sunday
rang true to revolutionary ideals. In
cold type, read far from the inspir-
Ing scene which attended It's delivery,
considered at leisure by those to
whom the issues Of the Russian revo-
luton are confused and perplexing. it
still makes the pulse leap and sym
pathy run high for nation just en-
tering upon the troublous road which
America in 1776 and France In 1898
trod with infinite sacrifice, hesitation
and doubt to the ultimate haven Of
democracy. The DantOn Of the Russian
revolution, KERENsKY cries again: I'll
nous faut de Iaudace. ct encore de
raudace. ct toujours de raudace." To
dare, to dare again and always to
dare is his outline Of the policy which
its lea iers must pursue.
Those who think the moment has
come to overthrow the revolutionary
power with bayonets are making a
mistake" said NJ. KEBENsKy. He
continued:
Let them take care, for our author
ity Is supported by the boundless conf
dence OF the people and by millions OF
soldiers who are defending US against
the German invasion. But
let them remember that our patience
has its limits and that those who 60
beyond them will have to settle with q
Government which will make them re-
member tho time Of Czarism. We shall
be implacable. because We are convinced
that supreme power alone can assure the

TO take advantage of Russia's national
misfortunes. and whatever ultimatum ID
presented shall subject It to the su'
preme power and to myself. its head"
The first lesson to be taught in rev
olutiOn Is that liberty has its limita
tions. Especially is this true in sucf
a situation as confronts Russia to
day. Only organized. disciplined &C
tions can put to rout the forces Of evi
that are attacking the nation from
without and within. At Riga the wei
drilled and veteran German troops
are attacking disorganized and mu
tinous Russian regiments that re

harm as because they think 1t a sacri
