swamps through which they struggled
for more than two days.

.BURIES ITS DEAD
Pekin Is in Mourning Over
Steamboat Victims.
One Person Dead to Each 200
Inhabitants.

Pekin, Ill. July s.-Sorrow envel-
oped Pekin like a pail today as it laid
to rest the first nine of its many vic
tins of the Inflated river steamer
Columbia, which found watery
grave on the bottom of the Illinois
river early Saturday morning and
carried with it many residents of this
city.
The disaster claimed one victim for
every two hundred inhabitants. De-
spite its grief. the city grimly set its
teeth and calmly. if sorrowfully, is
burying its dead, administering to its
wounded and caring for its orphans.
Pekin has an enormous task on its
hands, knows it, and stoically is pro-
ceeding to its task.
There was no mournful, measured
tolling of the church bells attendant
to the funerals to awake afresh a
sense of the awful loss that had be-
fallen the city. Instead the victims
were buried quietly in relays, four al
2 o'clock this afternoon and five al
o'clock
The funerals were private The
churches were closed. Morbid curiosity
seekers were absent. Instead each
family waited quietly, If sadly, beside
its dead. until minister or priest could
reach its home. The ministers and
priests. after addressing the last rites
over the bodies of the first relay, hast
ened to other homes to perform again
their grim task.
The dead were buried quietly and
peacefully in Lakeside cemetery and
the remainder of the victims will be
laid to rest in the same plot of ground
tomorrow and Wednesday.
After the enormous amount of work
attendant to the funerals of the vic
Tins and the caring of their families
is over. Pekin will act to set aside q

NIHILISM RETURNS
Russian Bomb ThrOWerS Turn
Against Germans.
Will Be Very Hard for Huns To
Deal With.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, July S.-Nihilism has re-
turned to Russia. The assassination
Of the German ambassador, Won Mir
bach, at Moscow is the beginning of
Russia's reawakening. The same meas
ures of desperate self defense, err
forced on the people by the absolutism
of the Romanoffs have been called
again into play by the ruthlessnes of
German dictation to the present Slav
government. Russian liberty, en-
meshed by the Hun militarists. is TAX
ing to bombing its way to freedom.
This new phase of the revolution was
bound to occur sooner or later. The
ruptedly for liberty under the car are
not of the breed to be cowed forever
by German militarism.
Bomb Against Sword.
Opposed to the terror of the Ger
man sword has now come the terror
of the Russian bomb. Germany can
not destroy this new enemy of force.
Nihilism flourishes best when efforts
at its suppression are most relentless
1t is strange that the famous Nihilist
leaders have not gone into action
against the Germans before this. But
there probably has been some reluc-
lance to set terrorist bands at work
anew for fear they might interrupt
the successful working out of the
man influences are plainly seen to be
insidiously trying to undermine the
revolution, there is no reason why
Nihilfsm should not resume its former
policy of meeting blood with blood.
Bad for Germans.
The Germans are placed in a very
difficult position by the assassination
of their ambassador. If they take no
measure of reprisal, their prestige will
fall. If they insist on assuming con-
troll of the police divisions of Moscow
and Petrograd. they will inevitably in
vite still more ferocious bomb attacks.
In the midst of the increasing des-
perate situation along the battle front
in France, Germany can spare few
troops for repressive activity in Rus
STA. A strong military expedition
against them need not be feared by
the nihilists. Because of this fact
they can work in greater safety
against the Hohenzollerns than they
did against the Romanoffs.
