GAR Of RUSSIA
IS 0vERTHR0WN

The daily papers of the latter part
of last week contained the startling
information that the czar of Russia
had abdieated the throne in favor of
his young son, under the regency of
the czar's brother, Grand Duke Alex
androNitch. Later advices said that
the heir had also abdicated and that
a committee of twelve representing
the Russian duma would control the
country. This news came as a COM
plete surprise to most everybody in
this country, but from reading the
papers it appears that all the coun-
tries of the allies We're appraised of
the doings and expected a change In
the Russian government
The revolution was over in a short
time and almost every branch of the
army, navy and government readily
assented to the change, There was
some desultory fighting in Petrograd
for three or four days when all the
troops favorable to the dynasty sur
rendered to the revolutionary troops
and fraternized in the streets like
brothers. Latest advices indicate
that the ultimate outcome will be the
establishment of the Russian repub-
lie, u master stroke for democracy
and rule by the people.
At first it was surmised that the
revolution might mean that there was
strong anti war party in Russia fav-
orable to a separate peace with Ger
many, but later it has been learned
that the real cause of the revolution
was that the czar was influenced by
his German wife to such an extent
as to prevent the war being prose-
cuted in a manner desired by the peo-
pie. All German sympathizers In the
army have been relieved of their COM
mands and it is said that the war
will now assume different phase
than heretofore.
The new ministry is composed OF
members of the duma and everything
is quiet and orderly all over the
country.

BUILD BOATS TO
OUTWIT GERMANS

A plan whereby cargo tonnage can
be created in this country faster
than Germany can sink it" has been
acvised by r. Huntington Clark, ar
American engineer, according to an
announcement made before a joint
session of the Automobile Club of
America, the Aero Club of America
and the Motor Boat Club of America,
in New York on March 5.
The new type of vessel, it was said,
could be built in great numbers
quickly at small cost, and by men of
little skill. Fash vessel would be
mastless, smokeless and of diminu-
tive size and would have such low
visibility as compared with the great
steel ships now atloat that it could
be seen by a submarine at barely
more than third of the distance at
which the 10000 ton steamships are
now detected.
In addition, it was asserted, the
new craft. propelled entirely by mo-
tor would offer a smaller mark,
would be more easily maneuvercd in
event of an encounter, and because
of it's small draft of from IL to IL
feet. torpedoes that usually would
sink the larger vessel of steel con-
struction, would pass idly beneath
it,"
1t was estimated that 1.000,0 900 tons
or thousand vessels of 1000 tons
each, with speed of nine knots
could be built at cost of 100000.
900 in year. These boats would be
1856 feet all over with a 36 foot beam
The same amount OF tonnage, with
a speed of IA knots, it was said
could be built for $150,O00.OOO.
Mr.. C)ark's plan is to utilize all OF
the coastal wooden ship yards. which
now have a capacity of 250,O0O tons {
year. To enlarge these plants, il
was asserted, would require nothing
more than the clearing of additiona
beach or bank, the laying down o
more cheap wooden ways and the set
ting up of additional lumber planning
and saving machinery. The labor
he contends, can be created from thu
"rawest material"

COUNT ZEpPLlN
CALLED BY DEATH

According to a Berlin dispatch
transmitted by Rueber's Amsterdam
correspondent, Count Zepplin died on
March at Charlottenburg, near Ber-
lin, of Inflammation of the lungs.
Count Ferdinand Zepplin became
famous at the age of 20 as the build
er of the first practical dirigible
balloon. On his 18th birthday he nav
igated his Goth airship to celebrate
the occasion. But before he had
achieved fame he had devoted a half
century of his life, exhausted his per-
snnal fortune of S750.O0O and sacrl-
feed brilliant career as German
cavalry leader in conQuerlhg the air.
Emperor William recently proclaimed
Count Zepplin to be "the greatest
German of the Twentieth century"
AS a token of appreciation he con-
ferred upon him the Order of the
Black Eagle, the highest honor in
the emperors power.

MRS. COOPER'S PAPER
ON CHILD SURGERY

The following paper was read by
Mrs. r. Leroy Cooper at the Roman
Women's Club at the last meeting.
and at the request of several of the
members present, it is published. The
Pioneer commends this paper to its
readers and urges that it be carefully
read:
One of the finest things anyone
can do is to discover a way to make
someone well and happy for life.
Like new inventions, surgery along
new lines is being developed. Many
times it is accidentally discovered,
but usually one or more surgeons may
work life time experimenting and
studying to perfect one idea.
A number of years ago, it will be
remembered that a wonderful doctor
was brought to this country from
Austria to perform what was called
bloodless operation on wealthy
mans daughter This doctor had
very little time to spend in this
country, so many crippled children
were not able to obtain relief. The
one special girl he came to help was
Miss Armour, who is now just enter
ing society, straight, beautiful girl.
Very few things can be done by this
method, the knife figuring in most of
the wonderful things done. The re-

of flesh there. changing the whole ap-
pearance and character of child.
Not long ago it was discovered that
adenoids were the cause OF many
children being stupid, sulky and also
delicate. This growth interferes with
the intake of oxygen, thus lowering
the nutrition of the brain. The body
or intellect cannot develop II the
brain is not in working order. Selfish
ness, deafness and dullness are
brought on by this growth, as has
been proven by its removal. A boy
of nine, whose face was so fiat. ex-
pressionless and frog-like that he
was thought to be feeble minded, was
brought to a physician here In the
west. The boys mind seemed blank
and he was hard OF hearing, so his
teacher reported. while his parents
said he was selfish and sullen. After
the growth was removed his whole
life was changed. He became inter-
ested in his school work. besides be-
ing considerate of other people.

vast estates, Count Zepolin was grad
ually reduced to an aristocratic me-
chanic living in humble cottage on
an allowance supplied by his friends
He met many escapes from death,
and disaster repeatedly overlook his
airships. They became so frequent
that pert paragraphs began to appear
in the German press and ridiculc his
efforts.
Then, in a day. the tide turned. He
electrified skeptical world in 1908
by staying aloft for 81 hours in the
fifth airship he had built, and by
sailing it in straight course for a
distance of nearly 900 miles. Emperor
William and all Germany in fact,
hailed him as "the conqueror of the
air."
This monster balloon 465 feet long
and of the rigid type and resembling
a huge cigar, soon met with disaster,
as had his predecessors. Each wreck
was great financial loss, for Yep
plin's balloons were valued as high
as $5OO,OOO each. These disasters,
however, proved the affection in
which the German people held the
aristocratic aviator, When one of his
airships was torn from it's moorings
in gale and wrecked the public sub
scribed $1,0OO,OOO to a fund, of which
the crown prince was president, for
the inventor. The German emperor
frequently helped him out of financial
difficulties, and the German reichstag
appropriated several hundred thou
sand marks for the purchase of his
airships for the German army.
At the close of his remarkable ca
reer Count Zepplin had retrieved a
large part of the fortune he spent in
his conquest of the air. He trained
his son. also an army officer, in the
science of aeronautics and especially
in his methods of building dirigible
balloons. He also made an accom-
plished aeronaut of shis daughter, who
has made more than 100 flights in the
airships her father fashioned.
In commemoration of Count Zep-
plin Friedrichhafen, the city from
which most of his voyages began, has
decided to establish a Zepplin mu-
scum.
