THE RUSSIA THAT
IS NOW ENDED

Col. William Il. Thompson, one OF
the heads of the Red Cross Mission
to Russia. has recently returned from
~Petrograd. He has undertaken. in a
series of five brief articles for the
Evening Post to give his personal
views as to the present complex sit
uation in Russia. and as to the man
ner In which. he thinks, America
may assist Russia i'm solving her
troubles.
Col. Thompson started for Russia
last June. by way OF the Pacific and
Y~ladivostok. He crossed Siebria on
the Imperial train which had brought
cut Senator Root and the other
members of the American Mission.
During his stay in Russia, Col.
Thompson was thrown In touch with
people there of all classes. persons
still clinging to the ideas of the old
regime; members of the social de-
niocracy, who. with Kerensky at the
head, maintained the Provisional
Government for months; Radical
leaders, returned exiles from Siberia
and foreign countries. and so on. In
this way Col Thompson had exeep-
tional opportunities for gaining close
insight into the whole Russian sit
uation.

BY COL. WILLIAM b. THOMPSON

Most people, | suppose, think of
Russia az a great, soggy mass of peo-
pie, ignorant and unintelligent, un-
responsive to the things that inspire
ether peoples; deep in the murk of
the darkness that has been imposed
upon them during centuries of brutal
oppression; but even aside from that
somehow inherently incapable of the
kind of awakening that has come to
other peoples.
In a measure. that is true. There
has beer that oppression, as all the
world knows, and is has had the in
evitable results that come from OPP
Preston. The mass of the people u
Russia mas been kept in ignorance,
and the darkness has been deep and
stupefying. But nowhere in the
world-not even in Americas
there a people more idealistic i'll
character, more capable of being
aroused to all those worthier aspira-
tions and achievements that We love
to think of as being distinetively
American. Senator Root puts 1t adj
mirably when he says, They have a
natural sense of justice. They would
hot willingly do injustice to any one

larged and ennobled by beautiful
charity. They are the kindest people
