German Methods in Russia

From "Russa's Mutilation-Germany Tn-
 masked" by Frank H. Smonds, in the
 American Review of Reviews.
 Sooner or later the Slav renaissance
 must come-the Slav risorgimento and when it comes. then the German rule and regime in Russia is doomed. Further than this, the arrival of this day of Russian awakening must be has tened in Russia as 1t was in Italy, by the excesses of that na- tive aristocracy. maintained by foreign bayonets-the prototype of the aristocracy Austria established in Milan--that Ger
 many is to set up now in Riga, in War saw, in kiev When one realizes how much a little people like the Serbs have en- dured Tn the last five centuries since their really flourishing empire fell be- fore the onrush of the Turk, and still preserved their nationality and their de- sire for liberty it is not difficult to be- lieve that the Russians, in their own time, will escape the German yoke. Actually the German has borrowed the method of Napoleon to carve the Russian territories and the system of Metternich to enslave the conquered populations There has been nothing as reactionary. as anti-democratic as tbe treaty of Brest- Litovsk, with its actual as well as its implied provisions, since the congress of Vienna and the subsequent holy all lance of the autocratic empires con spired to abolish the consequences of the French revolution and insure the permanence of the blessings of absolut- ism. The same principles which Met ternich denied, the principles of nation ality and of democracy. have been de nied by those who for Germany drew the later treaty.
 The very arrogance of the German de- mandss the very extremes to which the junkers have carried their ideas. are in the future certain to prove fatal to their real aims. Economic and political slavery have been imposed upon millions and millions of Slavs, Russians, Polish, Lithuanian, even Ukrainian. The way has been prepared to reduce these races to the condition of conquered popu- lations in classical times. And looking back in history it will be seen that every attempt of this sort. since classical times. has led to swift and sure disaster for the state attempting it.

Strategic Site of Bagdad

From The Glorious City of Bagdad.'' by
 pr. John F. Peters, in the American
 Review of Reviews.
 To appreciate Bagdad one must come 10 it as the Arabs do and as have done. out of the desert. How beautiful t seems as you see it in the distance, a mass of verdant palm trees rising out of the treeless plain. and glittering above these the wonderful gold domes of the mosque tombs in the sacred and fanatical suburb of Kazzeman.
 Bagdad straddles the Tigris at the point where that river and the Eu- pirates most nearly approach. opposite natural caravan route up the Diyala river. which joins the Tigris at this point. through the Zagros or Pushti Kly mountains to Kermansah, and Hamadan in Persia. and so on to Central Asia. Commanding both the liver route south ward to the Perisan gulf, and the caravan routes northward up the Tigris to Asia Minor and the Black sea. and westward up the Euphrates to Syria and the Medi- terranean, as we'll as the road eastward to Persia and Central Asia, this gen eral locality is the natural site of a cap ital.

 am continually being surprised, Something is always happening to in- terest or to startle me. so that the pernicious habit of pepperiug my pen point with ".9 has become almost a disease! There go again, you sec will anyone suggest cure?
 Z At any rate, my last surprise was quite personal sort of affair. but it is, I think, sufficiently interesting to bear telling to you. 1t came about like this: In a weary and rather lonely mood. I went in search of dinner one evening last week and I wandered along Forty-third street, where I mo-

tice French restaurants are tucked | away as closely as peas in pod The sign on one, of these simple hostel
 ries attracted my attention-just "Mau- | rice" in big letters. So I went in and sat me down at as little table beside
 a white curtained open window, for April is kind in her sunshine and her hreezes since the clock has been put forward an hour
 I gazed rather half-h -heartedly at my menu and wondered if I was really hungry, or if my imagination was playing me a trick when I heard a voice at my side: "Oh. madame ma- dame To see you here! But hcw strange!" And I looked up into the beaming face of the proprietor of this New York restaurant whom I had last
 seen in London during the first week of the war, when like a good and
 loyal Frenchmen he had departed to hght for the great cause for which we are all struggling still.
 The history of this gallant restau- rateur is quite a romance in it's way. He had been for several years chef
 to the Duke of Westminster in his
 great mansion in Park Lane-Grosve-
 nor House--when, having possibly saved tidy sum from the big income which is invariably earned by a cordon
 bleu in an establishment of such size
 and magnificence. he bought a lit tie restaurant of his own in the
 French quarter of London, which is
 called Soho.
 The place was simple and small,
 but it soon became famous among a certain artistic crowd which is al ways seeking out "a new place to
 feed" and 'Le Moulin dor" as it was
 called, prospered exceedingly until
 1914. when the call to arms rana
 across the channel and every English
 man and Frenchman worth thinking
 about gave his service and his life to
 his country.
 And among the first of those to do his duty was the Duke of Westminster eX- chef He went off to war leaving h.s pretty little wife to carry on his business
 for him. But the burden was too heavy
 for her, she sold out. and l ceased to be customer at the Moulin dor.
 As they used to say in novels: Years
 rolled on"-and I found myself in New
 York at dinner time and instead of go-
 ing into any other of the half dozen or more eating establishments in the vicin-
 lty my feet were guided to the door of
 Maurice and 1 felt truly "at home

LONDON's CHURCH PARADE
RED CROSS WORK ROOM

The first time since l arrived in this vast and splendid city and have felt the actual presence of war and suffering, was wben visited the Red Cross model workroom just off Fifth avenue the other day.k There l found real war work go- ing on and being accomplished by 1o0 or more ladies and girls who give all their time and their energies to this splendid work. Hundreds of thousands
 of bandages and wound pads and dress ings have been made there during the past few months, to say nothing of huge
 numbers of socks and sweaters and hos pital garments and other necessities I have seen no prettier or more Inspiring sight than these dozens of whte-clad
 women and girls in their white wells bending over their work of relief and mercy, while the instructors, in their distinguishing red wells, go from table to table, helping and suggesting to mex perienced workers just the things that will shorten and ease their labors
 Mrs. August Belmont came in while I
 was there and gave a stirring address on the subject of the work of the Red Cross in France. I also saw Mrs R. D. Foote, who is one of the officials of the New York chapter. and Mrs. Baldwin who is the vice chairman. They were both go- ing round the rooms with Lady Chetwyn. while Mrs. Lawrence Mcclure, in her pretty uniform, and various other ladies were acting as hostesses.

the great trowds within and without the building eheered Justify at this dawnins of new uay and new time.
 Of course, in England this daylight saving r4le has been adopted since the first summer of war time. therefore the actual rushing forward of the clock mad no special novelty to me. It was the plisaed that moved and interested me- remember when the law came in four springs ago in England people were just reminded to move their clocks the hour in advance before going to bed and to get up according to the new time.
 Nothing else was said or done. and everybody went about their respective businesses without further fuss. The only ereatures who actively resented the new regime were the farmers and the cows The former said that it disar- ranged al their plans for planting and preparing the ground for gardens and fields, while the cows, poor things, nav ling been accustomed to being smilked at certain hour resented the fact that the dairy maids and men attacked then. one hour earlier than customary for the mornings milk.
 EASTER PARADE
 For the first time in my life I saw and Joined in an Easter parade along Fifth avenue. I have always heard much of the wonders and brilliancv of this splen- dld thoroughfare on Easter Sundays and nave always longed to see it under ideal weather conditions. We'll. have seen it. and certainly find it comes we'll up to ex- pectations. I am told that the gowns of the women were much more subdued and sober than they used to be before the War but to me they seemed sufficiently gay and elegant What appealed to me most were the flowers that were worn oS nearly every woman in that huge throng passing along the west side of the Avenue.
 In London we seldom. if ever, see flow CTS worn in profusion by women; but here they seem prodigal i'm their display and eertalniy the florists have developed a special art in the arrangement and groupings of blossoms that are worn.
 An English florist makes up a pretty corsage bouquet which is pinned, un- protected upon woman's gown, 10 to 1t leaves an indelible stain and the frock is ruined
 The charming fashion of shielding the flowers from the dress by a tale shield and tying the stems with lovely harmon ious shades of ribbons is an unknown accomplishment to English florists
 LONDON'S CHURCH PARADE
 But in spite of the exquisite weather, the crowded pavement. the unceasing movement I missed the background to n London church parade-the beautiful stretches of greensward in Hyde Park the tender suggestion of spring bursting from the trees, the tangled bushes of al- mond blossoms and flowery yellow shrub bery and the masses of uniforms and numberless wounded men in charge of white capped nurses.
 Conditions of life are so different lover there to those that still obtain over here

Tobacco movements, notwlthstand-
ing severe weather conditions, have
been very active. The highways CEN
tering here are daily the scene of pro-
cessions of vehicles making delivery
OF bundle goods to local warehouses
and loading for shipment to outside
points.
Some big crop figures have been
checked out but we have no concrete
facts at hand. Former Chairman
Nick Dorschied of Webster marketed
d yield of 10000 pounds from five
acres, which sold at S1,712.S7. On his
farm was also grown 212 other acres
the total returns being $2,277.
Last issue of Edgerton Reporter
tells that there were 48,259 acres of
tobacco grown in the state last sea-
son. 1t is grown in 81 counties. Dane
first with 22,990 acres, Rock 1890,
Vernon third 1880, Columbia 2,610,
