BREAD FAMINE PROMPTS
new RUSS REVOLUTION
Mutiny Of Czecho-Slovak Troops
Part of Plot Reported to Be
Nationwide.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON. June 2.-The discovery in
Moscow. and Petrograd of a large
counter revolutionary plot which
stretches throughout the whole of
Russia is announced in a Russian
wireless message received here to-
night. To this plot is attributable
in part the mutiny Of the Czecho-
Slovak troops. which have captured
several important railway functions
and lines.
The soviet executive decided on Nav
20 to undertake the partial calling to
arms of several classes of workmen
and the poorer peasants in Petrograd
and Moscow and the Kuban and Don
regions.
At the same time Moscow has been
declared in a state of siege. Count
less revolutionaries have been ar
rested in considerable numbers and
energetic measures have been taken
against the press. These measures
are necessary, 1t Is announced, owing
to the situation in which the Russian
revolution has been placed.
The question dominating all others
Is that of supplying the people bread
now that Russia has been deprived of
the Ukraine granary. The Kuban
and Don regions are, according to the
Russian statement. menaced by a
means Of complications to provoke
Intervention by foreign powers and
thus drive the Russian masses toward
famine.
In some regions the large owners
are mobilizlng the well-to-do people
with the object of resisting the efforts
of the government to commander
flour depots. and are trying to con-
ceal their stocks for purposes of
speculation. and. finally. agents Of
the counter revolution in the cities
throughout the country. says the

Sidelights on the War
-BY-
OLIVER OWEN KUHN,

1t generally is admitted that tho Of
fcer that is calmest is the greatest
leader in battle. When things are
breaking fast and furious and there
may be some uncertainty in the minds
Of the soldiers they are more apt to,
settle down sternly to the task in
hand II they see their leaders taking
the fray calmly. One captain prevent
ed a rout by calmly pulling a ciga-
rette from a case and lighting 1t in
the face of a tremendous German at
pack.
Some idea of the soldiers trials
during prolonged fighting may be
gained by the fact that during a re-
cent German drive some British fight
ers had their clothes of to rest but
twice in eighteen days and at such
periods of relief gained but a few
hours rest.
A bald-headed soldier who had
served in France had been back home
for two weeks on leave, when he en-
tered barber shop to have his
fringe" trimmed.
What you need on top. sir. is a little
of our tonic" said the barber.
What 1 need is a divorce said the
soldier with emphasis.
When a flier is sailing in the clouds
over enemy lines and his compass gets
out of order he usually has a mo-
ments anxiety. In describing what 1t
met one flier says:
"a similar mishap often happens
when flying through cloud. Pilots
have been known to declare that all
compasses are liable to swing of their
own accord when in clouds, though
they themselves have disturbed the
needle unduly by a continuous pres
sure on each side Of the rudder-bar in
turn, thus causing an oscillation of
the rudder and a consequent zigzag-
ged line of flight. The trouble is more
serious that 1t would seem to the lay
man, as when the compass is out Of
action. and no other guides are avail
able. one tends to drift round In a
large circle, like a man lost in the
jungle. Should the craft be driven by
rotary engine. the torque. or out
make a machine edge more and more
to the left. unless the pilot is careful
to allow for this tendency"
The war has brought about one
reunion. NJ. Maeterlinck is q native
fused to appreciate his work he went
to France. Even the great Maeter-
linck festival in Brussels and the
bestowal Of the Order of Leopold
upon the famous writer failed to
soften his feelings. But when the
war started and Belgium was overrun
Maeterlinck Immediately offered to
return to his native land to serve In
any capacity.

That the sternest reprisals against

ot Mrs. Ford, American mother living
In England, and Frau Hartmann. her
twin sister, married to q German and
living In . small town near Berlin.
1ar. Hull played the son in both cases.
aere be 1t said-and the comparison
10 justihable-that Miss Shannon's
conception Of her dual role Is not only
the finest bit OF acting she has done in
her long career. but that II must rank
very, verythigh. Mrs. Fiske, in Henri
LaVedan's Service" portrayed a SINH
lar role, but Miss Shannon's mother
was the finer-less theatric and more
intensely human, less stilted and more
superptys emotional.
Mr.. Hull was manly as the Ameri-
can captain and his German cousin
spy. In the third act, the American
mother and her Hun nephew facing
each other, Mr.. Hull rose to the occa-
