Epoch Brings Liberty. O..
Ambassador Bakhmetieff declared
that in the lives Of all nations there
were epochs OF development and
epochs OF strife and bloodshed, which
changed the destinies OF empires.
such epochs breed their own men,
heroes and symbols of grand feats.
George Washington lived in such an
epoCh-he was the hero and spokes-
man of his time. Fate has bestowed
on us the blessing to be witnesses
and partakers in such an epoch from
the horrors and ruins of Belgium and
Poland. But from the ruins, soaked
by the blood OF nameless martyrs,
there is rising the dawn OF a new
me, uLe OF peaCeIul prosperity, JUS
tlce and humanity-growing out Of
the conquered and smashed remnants
Of militant autocracy.
ITO us Russians this epoch has
brought emancipation. has set op-
pressed nations free. has abolished
injustice and racial prejudice. Nearly
200, 100000 human beings have gotten
the blessing of freedom to which,
more than 100 years ago, George
Washington cOnsecrated this country" i"
The members of the two missions

for the people and not a people for
the government, as is the case in
Germany. The address was made be-
fore those who attended the Y. NJ. C.
A. lawn services Sixteenth street and
Columbia road.
The judge declared the old question
of whether the people were made
for the government or the govern
ment for the people was the direct
cause Of the present war He said
the only possible way to solve the
question is by bloodshed, THE war
was bound to come. for the oues-
