RUSSIA NEVER REAL NATION
Pessimistic Muscovite Explains the True Situation in the Former
 Empire of the Czar.

Were a nation of artists and say ages. You can reach us through our feelings-give us a poem, a play, picture, and we can initiate it, or even improve on it. You send us cannon"- He raised both arms helplessly and dropped them.
 You thought Russia was huge country. That was a fiction built up by the old regime, which meanwhile intrigued with Germany. As a mat ter of fact, Russia extends for a few hundred kilOmeters, north, south, east and west of Moscow. The rest was a foreign country, held together by force. It might become federation and grow into something like your United States, but it never was nation in the real sense of the word.
 You think we're a great agricul- tural country. Another fallacy. We have land, but no agriculture. Our peasants dance on their fields instead of fertilizlng them.
 Foreigners have been very naive. They assumed we were modern, strong and capable because of a few fine things we sent to them. They read Tolstoi or saw Pavlova and said 'Ah "a great people" They saw greatness through the entrechat of some ballerina'S legs."

there is danger owing to the impress sion caused among our enemies They dream of an impending internal col lapse; they construct their stronghold of victory thereon, and for its sake prolong the war.
 There is therefore in this matter special need for a remedy What we need is united and firm cohesion be- tween the emperor and empire and the government and the people so that it may be clear to the outside world and may not be obscured by a cloud Of differences of opinion expressed in
 writing or by word of mouth..,
 It was everyone's duty to contribute to this end and assist in strengthenins the united front at home" said the chancellor, adding:
 "The army command regards the military situation with complete calm and confidence, even though it has been obliged for strategical reasons to withdraw our lines at several points, Our glorious troops will continue to beat back the tremendous onset of the enemy arms until our adversaries. per ceive that they cannot destroy Us and are therefore, on their part, ready for an understanding.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
 STRIKE AT BRIDGEPORT

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 1. - With approximately 4,500 union machinists and toolmakers now on strike from
 the Bridgeport war plants, both large and small. manufacturers and union
 leaders tonight emphatically reiter- ated their statements of last week
 that neither side will give in to the
 wishes or demands of the other. It is certain that a continuance of
 the strike will result in a dangerous
 tie-up of production in a half score
 of the largest and most important
 government contract plants.

 strike to date are:
 No benefits are to be paid the mer because the waIkout is not sanctioned by the International Association o1 Machinists,s but leaders ore planning for a thirty day strike. Union leaders claim that fully 50C machinists have left the city to secure work in New Haven, New York, New ark, N. J., or Long Island City, where they claim they can get the conditions 1 they ask.
 Manufacturers are making plans tc replace the men out on strike. and il was announced by the Manufacturer; Association tonight that if the mer
 were not at their places on Tuesday l their places would be filled. Representative of the War Laho1 Board are making arrangements witt
 union men and manufacturers for { 1 concilia tion meeting, at which three representatives of the manufacturer: and three representatives of the 6000! affected by the government award disputed by the union will discuss l terms.
