trophe which has over
whelmed Russia comes as a
tremendous picture of destruction
a vast and inchoate upheaval-in-
comprehensive in it's parts and in
conceivable in it's details. You see
the crash of governments, the de-
struction of armies, but in the dis
tant and lurid picture you forget, if
you ever knew, that it's colors are
made up of myriad minor tragedies,
you overlook the immense mass OF
private and personal drama of
which it is compounded.
1t is my purpose in these articles
to show you not Russia, but Rus
SLAMS. hope to give you glimpse
behind the doors of the homes of the
inhabitants of Petrograd, to take
you into the soldiers barracks and
the great factories, to go with you
among the peasantry. / should like
to make you see the picture as if il
were in your own homes-as if, in
dead, it were America and New
York that had fallen to bits, though
/ know you can never follow so wild
a supposition.
Yet to US it has been the same.
We were living in a well ordered
metropolis, supplied from a fertile
country, defended by vast armies,
(, regulated by a firm government.
!! There were grave faults to be found
with each of these agencies; there
were many minor differences be-
tween your country and ours. Yet
in essentials life was the same with
US as with you. We worked, ate,
slept and went about our business
and our pleasures as you do. Trans
and autos ran in our streets, our
corner stores provided our neces
saries, our theatres and cinemas ran
to full houses, the policeman pa
trolled our sidewalks. We were suf-
fering the effects of a long war
food was short, fuel was scarce,
prices were high. We complained
and there was unrest. But, all in
all, we were not greatly different
from yourselves.

TOE BOWER was back in Could.

Toe BOUV1ER was back in Gould's
y Adirondack lumber camp,s No. 3,
for the first time since the
French-Canadian troops went to France
to fight, late in 1914. He wouldn't
have been back except for the fact that
German shell had torn off his right
leg just below the knee at the Marnc
front and another German shell had
wrought considerable hole in his side
while he lay in hospital back of the
lines six days subsequent to the occa-
sion Of the leg.
Sent back to Canada to spend the
rest of his crippled life in a military
hospital near Montreal, he had man
aged somehow to writhe along in a
deadly inactivity ten .imes more
hideous to him than the deadly ac-
tivity on the battle front. But when
the first snow whitened the landscape
outside the hospital window he could
stand it no longer, and he borrowed a
set Of crutches from the superintcn-
dent, drew two months pension from
the bank, and two days later hobbled
into Gould's No. 3, with one snowshoe
on the foot that remained to him and
the other snowshoe hitched to the
highway end Of the crutch on the side
Of the leg that remained in France.

And still one has to aGr1it that
the soldier committee in Petrograi
is rather a blessing than a curse.
Heaven knows what would happen
to Russia if not for the military
committees. They at least keep up
the semblance of discipline.
Vodka was abolished by the
former Car at the beginning of the
war and Russia became for time

the curse of revolutionary Russia.

contends that nine-tenths of the dis

But some dealers have found them
selves without a supply of anthra-

the fact that some dealers had moved,
others had started in business this
year. while still others, some because

This difficulty has, however, largely
been overcome, so far as communi-
