FERENCE OF DELEGATES.
LITTLE SKEPTICISM SHOWN
Social Democrats Fear That Unity
VIII Only Be Temporary at This
Tine-Reoroanization Of Army
Is Badly Needed.

Moscow.-A spirit of confidence In
the ultimate benefit to accrue from
the national conference held here is
expressed by representatives OF the
various groups which participated.
Their hopes are based on no definite
policy enunctated or measures adopt
ed, but upon the spirit of Cancellation
observed among the factions and
clearer understanding growing out OF
the discussion of the governmental
problems
Frof. Paul Milukoff, spokesman OF
the constitutional democrats, ex-
pressed skepticism as to the perma.
nent benefit to be derived, saying:
THE routes of the several groups
seem to have approached one an.
other, but am afraid that this is only
temporary. A certain unity seems
possible. The declaration Of the So
cialists, as we'll as the non-Socialists,
promises some concessions, but will
these materialiZe?
IN. Tseretelh (former minister of
the interior) expressed a desire to fol-
low course leading to union and col.
laboration. How far this desire will
be shown in facts can be learned only
in the future"
M. Tseretelli, who is a prominent
member of the council of deputies,
said:
There is bridge between the bour-
geoisie and the Socialists. How strong
1t will be depends upon how far the
wealthy classes help the government
to realize the reforms contemplated
The conference gave positive results,
which have united so far as Is possible
the vital forces OF the country"
Gen Alexieff, the former comman.
der,in-chief, said:
"Postponement of the reorganiza.
tion of the army threatens the most
serious consequences in the near fu.
ture. Serious attention must be paid
to the report and recommendations OF

How to Sharpen Knife and Razor

There are certain rules adopted by
cutters for sharpening razors, pocket
knives, etc. "a razor" said one of the
craft, must be laid fiat on the hone,
because it is hollow ground and re-
quires fine edge. But a pocket-knife
requires stiff edge, and the moment
you lay it fiat on a stone so as to touch
the polished side you injure the edge.
1t must be held at an angle of 20 to %
degrees and have an edge similar to a
chisel."
