the task are certain to realize the

THE commercial and business OPP
portunities lie in every branch OF In
dustry and trade, Just as much so as
confronted the United States one
hundred years ago. War has created
a scarcity of labor and the wars ne
cessities practically monopolise trans
portation facilities. Thus immediate
industrial operations would encounter
almost insurmountable obstacles and
heavy financial commitments for new
enterprises would not be justifiable at
this tire. Merchants everywhere seek
American goods and orders are the
easiest of things TO secure, but de-
l:yeries are impossible. except for such
goods as the government permits for
the requirements of the war. There
is a worlds shortage OF tonnage and
no private enterprise or opportunity
can be permitted to occupy one yard
of s,ace that energetic prosecution of
the war requires.
Russia has few ports, and the full
transportation facilities from them
are more than necessary for handling
absolutely essential freight. In refus

unanimous that an empire became a
democracy with the least bloodshed
that ever overturned a long establish
ed reign. Keep straight before you the
fact that this has been political
revolution. The problems now con-
fronting the government are both So
cial and political. Social evolution
must follow political revolution. In a
nation so huge and of such diversi-
fed interests, time, courage and pa
thence must be allowed for clear un.
Outstanding and adjustment. The
marvel is that with restraint and con-
troll absolutely removed, disorder has
been so inconsequential.
THE possibilities from the dangers
OF disorganization were enormous, es-
pecially as many criminals were set at
liberty, and yet there has been no
vandalism and no invasion OF personal
rights, except the few local instances
located in the center of violence dur.
ing the days OF the actual revolution
The salf-restraint and moderation
shown by the entire nation is the best
tribute to its sobriety, solidarity and
reasonableness and the best promise
OF what the future has in store. The
Russian people are naturally home
loving and OF peaceful disposition
They are neither arrogant nor quarrel
some. Agitators may temporarily
cloud their point of view by misrepre-
sentation and selfish design, but just
as certainly they will return to their
normal psychology.
ITO understand the demonstration
of last week, (May ~ which on its
surface looked menacing and grave,
it must be kept in mind that in Russia
such demonstrations are the only
method by which popular opinion can
find expression. There has been so
suffrage and therefore the ballot was
represented by so-called demonstra'
tions. Whatever further occurrences OF
this sort take place must be so in
terpreted On the day of the 21st,
(May s, Gregorian calendar) when the
government took its positive stand
against the extremists, il was possible
to see in these demonstrations the
quick turn in public sentiment. Within
two hours after the anti-government
parade passed up the Nevsky, the
streets were filled with cheering sup
porters of the government, and the
effort Of the extremists to create dis
orders was quickly overthrow, no
by armed force, but by the force o
public opinion. The Soldiers and
Workmen's deputies denied response

NEW YORK, July 23.-Russia, as
now constituted. is as little likely TO
make a separate peace as is the Unit
ed States in the opinion OF c. II.
Boynton. Of New York. president Of
the American-Russian Chamber OF
Commerce. Mr.. Boynton. who Is now
in Petrograd. has forwarded TO the
organization of which he is president,
a statement on the conditions in Rus.
STA. In which he presents an optim.
istic view OF the Russian outlook.
Wherever separate peace has been
mentioned, It has been howled down
with indignation, he write. Efforts
made by the Russian extremists to
create disorders have been over
thrown. not by armed force, but by the
force OF public opinion. "If in the
future appearances in Russia should
seem alarming" Mr.. Boynton asserted.
'the real situation will be in the hands
of q ministry composed OF the best
Russia can offer" He predicted that
the task of recognizing the govern
ment's policies will be accomplished
before many months.
Industrial operations, according to
Mr.. Boynton, would at present meet
insurmountable obstacles owing TO the
requirements of the war; but he de
clared that American capital and mer
chants interested in the Russian field
should lose no time In preparing and
coupling themselves for the huge com.
mercial business which, in his opin.
ion. is certain to be co-incident with
the end of the war. Mr.. Boynton's
statement follows:
THAT one may have a fair and Just
appreciation OF the events which have
taken and are yet to take place in
Russia, II Is necessary TO understand
the psychology of the situation. a
nation under rule of absolute auto,
cracy for centuries suddenly found 1t.
self an absolute democracy. Almost
over night autocratic Russia became
the most liberal democracy in the
world. Liberty, freedom and equality
were proclaimed and political exIles
and agitators were admitted within

Rats and Flrss.

At a time when everyone Is com.
planning Of the high cost Of living II
might be well to see II We cannot elm.
inate two great sources Of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents Of that
city ate more than million dollars
worth Of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $lO0,O00.000 per year
to the whole country. This is q pret.
ty high price to pay for the compan.
ionshlp OF impish pests which. besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carryethe most dreaded Of
all diseases. bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out In premiums for fire
insurance s4l9.381. .346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing In England, France
or Germany: and even In orr time and
nation $500. 100000 per year Is a sav'
ing worth noting. and one which
would have perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.
