Of world reconstruction moves past
It's gigantic potentiality nil ar ma
tional force.
Suppression from without, coupled
with the peasants fatallstlo lassltude

Such is the burden OF the story
brought 10 America by Marie Leon
tievns Botchkarova, founder and col
onel Of the Russian women's Battalion
OF Death, upon her recent arrival In
San Francisco.
Madame Botehkarova supported her
gloomy portrayal with her own tragic
experience and an account OF how her
patriotic endeavors were frustrated.
Her efforts to organize Russla's wom-
en- into a lighting power almost led 10
her death when the Bolshevik ousted
Kerensky.
And she escaped TO the United States

what she describes as "sn important

Her patriotic feryor scorned al home
the exiled Russian Jonn OF Arc, who
rose from peasant obscurity for an hour
OF glory and tragedy, is now seeking
service under the Allied Banner.
II Is her lament that the example OF
the women who consecrated themselves
TO their country's cause In the Battalion
Of Death has not proven an inspiration
10 the women OF Russia.
1t all seems TO have been IN vain,
she said.
Through suppression and lack OF
vision the women OF Russia have not
risen TO the big part they should be
playing In the great upheaval through |
which our land will flnd Its future place
among the nations.
That is the ssddest truth about Rus

Madame Botchkarova typines that
part Of Russla's inarticulate cropping,
womanhood which caught

Icted 10 the shock. and who, with cour-
lge in heart and rife in hand. went (

purred her on. With his call 10 the

rova was allowed to return TO her own

Then the revolution took place, with

Kerensky, who had heard OF this re-
markable lighting woman. summoned
her TO Petrograd. asking her, -what is

"A battalion OF women soldiers" she
replied, ito set an example for the

At Kerensky's request Madame Botch-

Eccentric people often conceal sums of money in the family Bible, where It is discovered, sometimes by chance, after their death.
 Such an incident occurred In Paris. A French Poilu returned home from the front to find that his father had just died. He had left him nothing in his will, only the family Bible. Closer inspection revealed between Its pages securities to the value of $65,OOO!
 A few years ago young nobleman who was in financial difficulties had oc- casion to refer to the family Bible for a date there recorded. In so doing he came across a number of Bank of Eng land notes, amounting collectively to a considerable sum, which more than met his liabilities. Then he recalled his mothers dying words that "Help might be found in the Bible when all other sources failed" But he had paid small heed to the injunction, and cer- tainly never dreamed of so practical a fulfllment of her words.

Qualities of Leadership.

The real fulcrum of life problems IS within the man himself. It's what folks call ability. It's not glibness, su- ,perfcial sickness or any power of pull. It's just a definite consciousness of ability and that ability put to work. With some folks habit plays an im- portant part. They learn to do things by rote. As long as requirements fol- low the routine they make a good showing. But when the unexpected turns up they are at sea. They rep resent a certain type of ability, but not the best. Men seeking help of the highest grade want men of brains, in- ltlative and resources. They want men that are unabashed before calamities. They want men that do not have to walt for orders, but who know what to do in emergency and are not afraid to assume the responsibility for their ac- ton. Such men are conscious of being leaders and ask only for opportunity to show what they can do.

10 TEACH DISABLED
Australia Recognizes Duty ia
 Crippled Soldiers.
Subsistence Wages to Be Paid Men While They Are Learning
 Trades.

Washington.-The manner in which Australia is meeting the problem ot reDatriating the men fighting in Eu- rope is described in dispatches to the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce. Much interest was aroused by the dispatches, as foreshadowing what the United States must do when the tide of disabled pen begins to flow westward. ....... ..... n-
 Two principles form the basis of the Australian system: First, that the purpose is to secure the re-establish. ment of returned soldiers in the indus trial life of the community; second, that as soldier abandoned his civil calling to serve the state, it Is the duty of the state to sustain him until an opportunity for such re-establish. ment Is assured.
 Subsistence wages will be paid to men seeking employment or being trained In technical schools. The amounts will vary according to the number of dependents, the maximum being f3, 6 shilllngs, or approximately $16.50.
 A feature of the vocational training planned will be national workshops, wherein men whose injuries preclude the possibility of their ever becoming competent to earn their living as nor nal workmen will be educated to new tasks and perhaps employed perma- nently. The totally and permanently disabled will be provided for in hos tels, or, alternately, by special grants supplementary to their pensions, If they prefer to remain with their friends.
 Widows desirous of learning some useful trade will be afforded the neces- sary training and sustenance. Ad- vances of money will be made in cer- tain cases for the establishment Of small businesses, for tools and for transit to employment.
 Australia also Is following the prac- tice of the United States after the civil war of granting land to returned sol diers. Major Blezard, who took part In the historic landing at Gallipoli and was severely wounded, has been granted TOO acres near Echuca. l.

AMONG WORST OF BAD HABITS
ProerastInation, When One Has Work That Must Be Done, Bound to
 Result In Failure. r

He was an excellent workman. Few things were In his speciality which he could not do better than his mates. But he was not success. Others who had worked at their calling much less time passed him In the upward climb of progress. His fault. hIs crime, lay in one thing--he had the. tomorrow" habit.
 When he had three days In which to do a piece of work, he sQuandered the first two In idle speculation as to the amount of time absolutely necessary to complete his task. If he decided that, by hurrying, he could perform that task in six hours, he temporized until the beginning of the six-hour period. He was eternally loaflng and hurrying, eternally wasting time and making time do double service. His work be- came more and more slovenly. Other workmen surpassed him. Before long he was superannuated.
 If you find yourself figuring on the amount of time you can loaf and still get your work done, watch out If you do not, the tomorrow habit will get you.-alilwaukee Journal. .

BARNS PART IN SOCIAL LIFE
Small Boy Whose Father Possessed One Used to Be Good Deal
 of an Autocrat.

In simpler times, and in parts of the United States where simple customs prevailed, the popular small boy of the neighborhood was not necessarily the son of the richest or most promi- nent family, but, more likely. theiboy in whose yard there was a good rain barrel, smooth cellar door, or barn. The boy who would now and then, from pure favor, or in return for mar bles, or some other valuable consid- eration, permit other boys to "hoIler" down his rain barrel, or slide down his cellar door, or, greatest privilege of all. play in his fathers barn, was the boy whose friendship was best worth cultivating.
 Some boy, In the small community of a geheration ago, was sure to nave father who possessed a barn, sna. generally speaking, he intuidvely feR his power, and exercised 1t over ne other boys on his street or in his parS of the town. Wherever he went. the barn stood back of him and gave him support and influence. He could say and do things to the other boys that they would not dare say or do to one another, simply because the boy hs said or did things to could see the barn door behind him. open or closed, as the case might be.
 To be one of those entitled to ad- mission to the barn was to be in the right set; to be denied the privilege pf playing in. the barn was to sufer O. cial ostracism.

The French TricoIor.

The Tricolor, the French national standard of blue, white and red, d. vIded vertically, originated during the first French revolution. In 17S9 the leaf iplucked by Camille Desmoulins in the garden of the Palais Royal be- came rallying sign, and green was to be adopted as the national color; but, remembering that green was the color of the hated Prince dArtois, they rejected 1t on the following day. They at first chose, instead, blue and red, the colors of the city of Paris, and later added the white of royalty, that had been faithfully preserved by the national guard. This new standard was adopted with enthusiasm. A few months after taking of the Bastile, Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis XVI the ,three-colored cocard as a badge of reconciliation with the king.
 Thus the TrIcolor originated as the symbol of the liberty of the French
 nation, and 1t continued as such even when ,afterward the reconciliation" with the king ended with his decapita- .tion. ... .-.

THE STORM


 Tha storm through which Juneau nassed last week caused the great est property damage that this city has ever experienced, says the Dis patch. We have been singularly free from disastrous fires and other calamitIes such as frequently affect communities. The property loss is certainly not less than $1O0,O0O.OO.
 From the disaster Juneau arises triumphantly and Is displaying splen d'd spirit. To meet the needs of those in distress, Mayor Valentine eailed a public meeting the night or the disaster, which was announced by the ringing of the fire bell. A numLsr oF citizens responded. and steps were immediately taken to fin homes for the homeless, and to ex- tend financial aid to those who had lost al of their possessions. The sum r"ised for this purpose had reached, by Saturday noon, approXi- mately $2,50O.OO, and the Commit tee was still at work.
 The heavy damage falls upon the miaing electric light and water comOanies. and while it cripples sae operation of those institutions, 1t Droeably does not entail upon any individual stockholder serious financial loss. The indiviauals who suffer are the home owners of Ju- 9eau. nearly 8 dozen of whom have seen aJi or the greater part of their .ssungS swept away.
 The fact that so little physical 5niury resulted to idtviduals is al pOst miraculous in view Of the in suedj5le swiftness with which some
 waes were swept away by the roar Jan waters of Gold Creek and the
 Ndes that occurred within the e-no
 aliiliction has brought aoout alike luai unity and sympathy for
 Desiuals who suffered which bar the Cl for the citizens Of
