Birth OF huSstan Democracy.
The spark which kindled the fire
that broke into the red glare of Rus
sian confiagration was struck In the
Decembrist revolt of 1926. This initial
germ OF freedom crept into the life
of Russia through a group of young
officers who contracted the microbe
of democracy during a visit TO Paris
in 1874.
Down through the reigns of terror,
minor uprisings and revolts, suppress
sions by censors. massacres and in
cidents OF some of the worlds most
heroic cases of martyrdom are but
sounded the death kneu to absolu-
tism in Russia.
Through nearly a century the en-
bers of revolution smouldered within
the heart of the Russian peasants
through the regimes of NICHOLAS I.
Alexander II, Alexander III. to the
final abdication of Czar Nicholas in
March, 1917.
The names of some of the worlds
greatest leaders and weakest emper-
ors are written in the appalling his
tory OF bloody Russia. Closing with

sSThe spinners.-
Ever since he left Dartmoor and its
ways behind him Mr.. Phillpotts has
busted himself almost exclusively
with tales of manufactures and of
factory life. This new story adds
one more to the series. telling of
those who are THE Spinners' of
rope and of yarn, as well as of the
thread of their own and OF other
peoples lives. Fundamentally. the
plot is one OF the most commonplace
and most pathetic, a tragedy old as
the institution of marriage itself
But Mr.. Phillpotts follows the course
of events farther than do most of
the writers who have dealt with this
especial theme. and, with that sense
OF the inevitable and of the impos-
sibility OF undoing that which has
once been done, which We so often as
sociate with Greek tragedy, shows
how at the end the old wrong brought
widespread woe. The man who was
the original wrongdoer had changed
almost beyond recognition: he now
faced the future with steadfast de-
termination to do justly ane to
serve others. He had the power as
we'll as the will TO accomplish much
that was good. and for many peo-
pie. But the thing he had done near
ly twenty years before had its con-
sequences, which all his endeavors
could not subdue, and in an instant
all that he was and all that he might
have achieved were alike wiped out
His plans were wrecked and the life
of noble woman made "a COM

Ottawa, April 1S.-Anxiety as 10
when General Foch will make use Of
the allied reserve which it says exists
but has not been called upon, is ex.
pressed in a dispatch from London to
Reuters agency here today.
There is still anxiety as to when
General Foch will make the decisive
stroke. now that the British have
stood four weeks of hammering by the
immense German reserves, estimated
at 100000 men in fashion which led
the French writer's to describe the
Pritsh armies as the wing of sacri-
flee says the dispatch.
Experts do not endorse the opinion
advanced in some quarters that the
advance, critical in the northern
theater has been definitely checked.
1t is agreed that the Germans have
not obtained the decisive results air.
ed at, thanks to the extreme stub
bornnesS of the British resistance
THE battle in fact appears to have
been following the course of the great
series of German thrusts of October,
1914, which ended in Ypres and fail
ufe for the enemy. There was then
no allied reserve. That reserve now
exists and has not yet been used.
More Fluctuations Expected.
There probably will be continuous
fluctuations in the northern area for
some time to come but the salient
fact of the fighting is the STAYING
power of the British soldiers
The day was satisfactory, the rec
ord balancing heavily in our favor" ="
the dispatch adds. '"The German
waves dashed against our lines in half
dozen places but only at Beaver
hill did they force us to yield ground,
which was counter-a ttacked and re-
gained.
'The heaviest onsaughts occurred
northeast of KENNEL hill and west of
Merris and there were two attempts
northwest of Wulverghem. The
enemy's grand objective is undoubt-
edly domination of the ridge system
from KENNEL hill to Wytscaete. While
the Germans have not made any defi-
mite gains their losses have been ap-
palling.
Employ Four Divisions.
The German attack against the
Belgian positions nearer the coast is
especially noteworthy In this stage
of the campaign the enemy employed
four divisions. The Belgians put up
a fight ranking as one of the pics
of their splendid war story, finally
driving back the Germans in con.
fusion and taking more than 500
prisoners.
This brilliant victory was on a
stretch of six kilometers between
Langemarck and Kippe."
