Paris, Oct. President Wilson's
note as received here at noon today
created a sensation as the first clause
seemed to express the note meant a
weakening OF the presidents attitude,
but the final paragraph quickly allay-
ed this anxiety and brought cheers
to the people Of Paris, who see in the
note an instrument of power hitherto
hidden in his language.

London, Oct. 24.-The first press
comment on Mr.. Wilson's note was
made this evening by the Standard,
which says President Wilson's note
will dispose of any fear that he might
be hoodwinked or involved in long
discussion.
Germany must accept of declaim
that's all" This seems to be the
universal opinion of England and her
statesmen.

AMERICANS IN RUSS
CAPITAL TOTAL $50
Will Flee With Other Nationals,
Is Report.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Occupa-
tion of Petrograd by Germans will
involve the flight from the city OF
$50 Americans, including IS mem
bers of the diplomatic and consular
staffs. Information at the state de-
partment indicates that of the $50,
there are thirty women. The num-
Der of French and British nationals
in the menaccd capital is larger.
Ambassador Francis has not re-
ported to the department the de-
tails of any plan for the departure
Of nationals of the co-belligerent
governments, but it has been as
sumed that practically all will leave
with the allied diplomats.
No new instructions were sent to
Mr.. Francis, and none will be. Even
the question of leaving the country
has been left to his judgment.
The message from Ambassador
Francis was dated Feb. l8, and it
credited Foreign Minister Trotzky
with saying he did not anticipate an
early occupation of the city, since
he had been given to understand
that it would be given eight days
notice by the Germans. Such no
tice had not been received at the
time Mr.. Francis filed his dispatch.

DEALING WITH SUBMARINE
No Patent Panacea Devised, But
Many Remedies Appear.

Worlds Work: Let it be said
at once that so far no sovereign
remedy, no patent panacea has yet
been devised for dealing with the
submarine. But sometimes a num-
Der OF little remedies are as good
as one big remedy. Certainly they
keep the enemy guessing all the
tim. But first of all what are our
chief difficulties in the matter? 4
modern submarine is an excellent
sea boat, both on and below the
surface, and under the latest meth
DDS of control should rarely meet
with an ordinary sea n(Shap. Fur
ther, with the increased size of the
boat and the increased comfort in
volved, the morale of the crew is
no longer exposed to any great
strain. SO there is no longer any
thing specially heroic or romantic
in the business. Moreover, a sub
marine is difficult to locate. espec-
tally in deep water. She can dis
charge a torpedo without coming
to the surface. And she cannot be
attacked unless she attacks first
for the simple reason that otherwise
you would not know she was there.
Again, if you should catch her on
the suriace-taking in air, or charg-
ing her batterieS-she can dive out
OF sight in less than a minute.
Still, despite all these facts III
her favor, the submarine has not
quite lived up to the pious aspira-
tions of Grand Admiral Tirpitz.
Allied losses in merchant shipping
have been kept down, and are de
creasing. There are many secret
methods OF putting the submarine
out OF business, which at present
must remain secret. Some of them
are most interesting - fascinating,
in fact; and the mortality which
they have caused among Che u boats
has been very heavy. How heavy,
only Potsdam knows
But apart from these attractive
secrets a great deal can be done,
and it being done, by regularly pa
trolling, which forces the enemy to
remain under water or emerge at
his peril secondly, by sending all
merchant ships by unusual and CON
stantly varied routes, and lastly, as
already mentioned, by a very COM
ple.e system Of conveying over dan
gcrous areas, This conveying work
calls for a very large number of
war vessels. Until recently, the en-
tire burden, on the Atlantic routes
at any rate, has fallen on the Brit
ish navy, but recently America has
reached long arm across the sea
and deposited some fresh pieces on
the board; and now, when an Amer
lean crosses to Europe, he will as
likely as not find himself escorted
safe into an English harbor by
number of long gray rakish vessels
flying flag pleasantly familiar.

Gogol, Tolstoy and Gorky are in
essence not Occidental, but Ori-
entail. Their thought is expressed
from out of the very heart OF Rus
sia, and therefore of Muscovy. Rus
sian literature portrays the restless
spirit of the Russian people, and
goes down to the fundamental dregs
for its emotions and its terrible eral-
ism. Throughout it all sounds the
clear note of truth to the basic life
which beats around the stones of
the kremlin, not to the artificial one
of a coSmopolitanized and Teuton-
lied Petrograd.

MOSCOW, THE
HEART OF RUSSIA

Christian Science Monitor: Not
long ago it was reported that Petro-
grad was to be abandoned as the
capital of Russia and the provisional
government removed to Moscow.
The report has been followed by
the news of factional conflicts and
battles royal between the bolsheviki
and the defenders of the fortress
city which saw the humble, almost
obscure origins of modern Russia.
Fire and sword, the common fate of
Moscow throughout the centuries,
are said by eye-witneSscs again to
have visited the city OF the Tzars.
The leader of the numerically small
forces defending the city capitulated
only because of the straits to which
the people had been reduced, and in
order to save the precious monu-
ments of the city's past.
The small principality of Moscow
saw the birth of the first and ancient
capital of Russia, round the stones
of the palisaded fortress which be-
came the Kremlin Of Moscow. 1t
was this little principality which
produced a line of able rulers, who
broke the Tartar yoke and united
all the petty Russian states into a
single realm. Moscow laid the foun-
dations of that greater Russia which
spread out, through its sturdy pio-
neers, across the Ural Mountains
and occupied and civilized the plains
of Siberia, until the whole northern
length Of the Asiatic continent was
won for the Tzars. The Kremlin,
which the Tzars developed from out
of the original fort, or nucleus OF the
city, is the Westminster Abbey Of
Russia. 1t has been sacked again
and again, and Peter the Great, Teu-
tonized, modernized, Occidentalized,
sought to escape the Orientalism
for which it essentially stood, by
founding another capital on the
Neva. But the Oriental atmosphere
has never been lost. Imperial coro-
nations have always had to have the
sacred sanction of the Kremlin to
impress the subjects of the Little
Father. The Russian genius is cs-
sentially Oriental and the very fash
ioning of the stones of the Kremlin
will perpetuate that idea throughout
history so long as this massive COM
pick of buildings stands. Moscow is
the Muscovite's typical city, and
Constantinople is his Mecca. The
architecture of the ancient Russian
capital is the exact reflex of the
Oriental mentality. There is the
crude line, the grotesqueness of
form and color which symbolic
those corresponding human civiliza-
tions against which the ordered
forces of Occidental Europe have
stood like adamant. Peter the
Great turned his back upon these
eastern influences, but they are still
the essence of Russia's inspiration.
Moscow must logically continue as
the meeting ground for Oriental ad-
miniStration and trade. Its rivers
and canals connect the Baltic, the
White, the Black and Caspian seas.
Russia can hardly avoid Moscow,
do what she will. Russia was the |
first to enter the war and the first
to make an effort to quit it. But
it was only Petrograd with is Oc-
cidentalism that gave way. Mus
coyism has never been assailed.

specializing Oh what would happen if
the government took over the newspa-
pers. Well, the first thing, the sub
scription price would be raised about
30 per cent and the sheriff would be
kept busy chasing d%elinquents. The
next step would be to raise wages about
% per cent, and editors, who hadn't
had a cent in six months they could
call their own, would be placed on a
salary. The merchants who fail to get
their ad copy in until press day would
be hauled up before the council of de

SMALL BOY is A BIG HUNTER.
Eleven ear-OId Son of Jack Kennaday
Bagged a TwO-Year-Old Bear
With 20 Caliber Rifle.

Fay Kennaday, the 1~1-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Kennaday, who
reside in the upper Cedar creek coun-
try, distinguished himself as a big-game
hunter last Saturday by tracking and
killing "A t~wo-year-old brown bear iii
the hills near his home.
The boy found the track of the ami
NAL and, equipping himself with a sad
die horse and his trusty ID, he took
the trail, accompanied by a canine COM
panion. A few miles up in the hills
the dog located Bruin in a brush patch,
and leaving his horse, the boy made
his way into the thicket until the bear
was discovered. One shot from the
small rifle did the business, the bullet
striking the animal between the eyes.
The boy then undertook to Dad his
game on the horse, but the animal was
too heavy for him, so he had to make
a trip home for Dad to come and help
him.
Mr.. Kennaday brought the animal to
town Sunday, and experienced bear
hunters pronounced it to be a coming
t~wo-year-old, of the brown or cinnamon
variety.
