Shafts Of bright light fall on the side
walk. The guard is saluting. The
crowd is petrifed-Kerensky is here.
His gait is determined, jumpy, unu-
sually rapid, so that the members Of
his suite, especially some corpulent
generals, are forced to run In order u
keep pace with him. Not in vain did
the secret agents assigned TO follow
him by the Cars government christen
him "the speeder."
He is dressed semi-militarily. A red
coat, not unlike the French uniform,
yellow boots, and soft cap without an
insignia. "The supreme authority is
dressed In a jacket, and Is unarmed."
Kerensky said Of himself in one Of his
recent speeches. But this unarmed au-
thority is bent upon becoming real.
genuine power.
Kerensky Pictures Old
The circulating pictures Of Keren5ky
very poorly convey the appearance OF
the new War Minister. because, with
small exception, they all belong to the
comparatively ancient days Of the be-
ginning of the third Duma. Now you
no longer find his face efeminatc,
bashful and dreaming. It's features
became sharper, rougher, manlier. But
as before its emotionalism is rich and
expressive.
II is said Kerensky is a sick man,
he has tuberculosis of the kidneys,
ono of his kidneys has already been
cut out, he lives only because of
continuous spiritual exaltatior, and
when that flame, on account of physio-
logical causes, is extinguished, the
political career CT the national tribune
will also end.
Perhaps. / don't know. But, judg-
ing by appearance, Kerensky does not
create the impression OF a sick man.
He does not even appear tired, al
though since the end Of February he
has not had single day of full rest.
His face is drawn, covered with
healthy tan-the result of frequent
and long trips in the automobile.
The orchestra is playing THE Mar
seillaise." Suddenly it stops. In the
midst of the restored stiffness there
rings a sharp. metallic voice: y
Hello, comradesi"
There is nothing musical about that
voice. II sounds like the ring of steel,
the clangor Of arms. The soldiers
saluto in reply is spirited and loud.
The throng shouts "Hurrah!" "The
Marseillaise" is started again. Keren-
sky boards his car The train Is NOV
ing out Of the station.

Who is he? Merely the "mathemati-
cal point of Russian Bonapartism," as
Trotzky put it, or truly man OF fate,
a providential messenger, possessing
the power, strength and desire to tear
asunder the vicious circle of tragic
paradoxes in which we are all entan-
gled?
Over this question all literate Russia
is pondering to-day. The intense eager
ness with which the public follows
every word of Kerensky is significant
For. whatever attitude you assume
toward him, he, in all events, is the
last card of revolutionary statesman

Of himself, then the Russian revolu-
tion and the Russian idea Of state
would be completely separated. That
crack which has already occurred in
their union would extend throughout
the national organism. And then we
could neither escape bloody anarchy,
nor a severe dictatorship, nor the res
toration of the monarchy in some form
or another
The fourth day of June. II o'clock in
the evening. At side entrance OF the
Warsaw Railroad station, in Petrograd,
are gathered to bid farewell to the min
lister, the political powers OF to-day
whose authority comes neither from God
nor from a Car, but from the revolution
and the masses. The Petrograd COM
mander, General Polovtseff; his assist
ant. Lieutenant Kozmin; the Assistant
Minister Of Marine, Admiral Kedroff,
and the members Of the executive com
mittee of the Council of Workmen and
Soldiers can all be seen here.
There is a military orchestra. From
the Semenovski Regiment is a guard OF
honor. A throng of soldiers and civil
ians, craning their necks, are holding
their breath in tense, strained antici-
patton.
What a strange mixture Of the old

Nicholas Nicholaievich when Lieuteu-

Invaded
To Avoid War on
German Territory
Staff Chief Admits Falsity
of Claim That 1t Was De-
fensive Necessity

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 11.-Lieutenant
General Baron Won Freytag-Loring-
hoven, chief of the supplementary gen.
eral staff of the German army, in an
article printed in German newspaper
admits the falsity of the German pre-
tension that the violation Of Belgian
neutrality in the campaign Of August
1914, was due to military and defen-
sive necessity provoked by alleged
preparations of the French to invade
Germany through Belgium.
General Won Freytag-Loringhoven
writes that, on the contrary, the French
originally started to concentrate their
armies along their own eastern frontier,
and made belated change in their plan
only after the German offensive was
set in motion through Belgium, and
the Germans profted greatly from the
resulting confusion and delay.
Fairy Tale,' Not Mentioned
Stories Of French troops marching
through Belgium during the initial
days of the war and Of alrplane ana
automobile attacks from Belgian terri
tory and other fairy tales" which fig
ure so largely In German justification
Of the invasion Of Belgium are not
mentioned in General Won Freytag-
Loringhoven's article.
After describing the advance Of the
bulk of the German force westward,
consisting Of four armies comprising
It's centre and right wing, through neu-
tral Belgium and Luxembourg, begin
ming August 1S, 1914, he says:
"The French main concentration was
originally accomplished between Bel
fort and the Belgian frontier, and the
first indication that they contemplated
a German advance through Belgium re-
suited in a shift to the left. .
The Entente Allies recognized only on
August II that strong German forces
also were advancing in a wide, envelop-
ing movement on the left bank Of the
River Meuse, where previously they had
assumed that only an army OF cavalry,
strengthened by some infantry, was
present.
French Army Deceived
an consequence of the original err
roneous concentration directed toward
the east, the French Fifth Army did
not succeed in advancing beyond the
line of Dinant-C -Charleroi by August %,
and was forced TO content itself with
holding the passages Of the Rivers
Sambre and Meuse."
The article proceeds to describe the
DISASTROUS effect of the sweep Of that
nnexpected German food upon succe-
sive French armies and the advance to
the Marne. General Won Freytag-
Ioringhoven declares that the Germans
retreated from the MArne because they
were too weak to break through the
French lines, but he argues that al
though final success was missed there,
Germany, by selling the opportunity
81 a daring advance through Belgium,
avoided war on her own territory.
The Newspaper says that the article

For the use especially of country

The bulletin is unique in that it gives
information as to the manufacture of
chemical closets, factory built privy

country homes. Many of the state

Improper toilet facilities or total lack
OF toilet facilities is responsible for
most of the hookworm and much of the
typhoid fever and .diarrhoea in rural
districts. Examinations made in va
rious parts of the country indicate that
about half of the grown people have
round worms or some other form of in
festival parasite. While these do little
harm, they are sometimes annoying,
and occasionally positively harmful.
Therefore it is somewhat important to
know that intestinal parasitism is an
other result of poor toilet facilities.
