FISH MADE REE ~ n0ops


Paris.-Politicai happensaes have
succeeded one another 90 rapidly In
Hussia that French correspondents
there have had little time to do more
tnan occupy themselves with them, and
descriptive articles from those Jour
nalists have been few regarding the
enect Of the revolution on the mass
OF the people and its results in the
provinces and among the peasants.
one or two articles, however. have ap-
peared which throw some light on the
mentality OF the Russians, regarded as
10 different from that Of other Euro
peans.
Atobert de Flers, associate editor Of
the Figaro and now attached to the
Headquarters STAFF Of the Roumanian
army. has had months Of study Of the
Russian troops serving In conjunction
with those Of Roumania. Here are
some anecdotes from his latest article:
There is fine lake somewhere In
the south Of Russia which IL connected
BY channel with q smaller lake.
where huge carp are raised. The chan
mel was barred by nets to prevent the
carp from passing into the larger lake,
and. rs food does not reach the troops
In the district too plentifully nor In
great variety. the officers were glad
to vary their mess with the fish.
/, One day some hundreds Of soldiers
were gathered In q meetinH-oAe Of
those meetings which have become q
regular institution In the Russian army
this year-plunged In deep discussion.
Suddenly-there was a rush toward
the lakes and. with cries Of "Sloboda |"
"sloboda I" C'LibertyI" 'Libertyw).
the men began to pull out the barriers
and nets and destroy them. The on
GERS wished to prevent the destruction.
but the soldiers took little notice of
their reprimands beyond crying "Slo-
boda! Sloboda for the fish I"
A noncommissioned officer explained
the matter. Fish are Gods creatures
as men are. Like them, they have the
right to liberty. But men can talk and
80 have made the revolution. while
hsh are dumb and can never make
theirs. 1t is. therefore, our duty to aid
them because 1t is contrary to nature
to pen them up in order to capture
them and easily kill them"

woman had been limited for many

prepared to make a manifestation in
her honor. But suddenly their feelings
