under the laws of Connecticut in 1915. The purpose of the company was state to be the .aanuta cture and sale of materials from which muni- lions were made.
 ''The corporation had an authorized capital stock of S2,O0O,O0O, divided into 10000 shares each of the par value of S100. HoadIey had no financial resources, but all of the stock except ten qualifying director shares were issued to him. The Ger man government financed the enter prise and furnished the money with which the company later acquired it's land erected its factory buildings and fully equipped the factories with ma chinery and certain materials. These funds were provided by the Deutsche Bank under negotiations conducted by Hugo Schmidt and Dr. Albert.
 About the time the United States entered the war Hoadley organized the Liberty Ordnance Co to which he transferred all of the assets of the Bridgg port Proiectile Co The entire plan was communicated by the Ord nance Department and used to man ufacture arms and ammunition for our army

The first nation in which we have seen labor going through the recon struction period is Russia. Last week I saw that a witness be- fore the Senate committee had stated | that one of the BOlshev1st regulations had made women in Russia common property and I have no doubt he was | quite sincere.
 | As a member of the War Trade Board, it deVolved upon me to devote considerable time to a study of Rus sia. I do not think am exaggerat- 1 ing when l say that during last year I talked with hundreds of men of all natiOnalities who had just arrived from Russia, and hardly any two of them told the same story, but though | many of them hated the BOlshevists | like poison, no one of the hundreds l ever suggested the existence of such a, state of affairs and Madame Bresch- | kofski, the little grandmother of the 1 revolution who has just arrived in 1 this country and who left Russia be- i cause she was opposed to the Bolshe- vists, publicly denied this most hor- rible charge the other day and stated ] that it was ridiculous.
 So far as getting any forwarder in my knowledge of the actual state of 1 affairs there, I knew at the end of ] the year how that darky felt who was ] riding an old mule towards Nicks- burg. He stopped and asked Q pas i serby how far VicEsburg was. and the answer came, fifteen miles. After i riding another half hour, he asked a second man who again replied, about 1 fifteen miles. At the end of another 1 fifteen minutes he asked a third time, and upon receiveing the same an swer, he patted his mule on the shoul- i der and said, ''Never mind old boy we are holding our own.'
 BoIsbcvisln a RebirtI
 But out of it all I gathered that ] Russian Bolshevism represents the la bor pains of Russia's rebirth. They are serious in their convulsions and | hideous in some of their aspects be- | cause of the terrible hardships the | working classes of that country were | subjected to and the indescribable i conditions under which they lived be- fore and during the war. Reaction goes as far in it's direction as the con dition from which it arose went in the opposite direction. The pendulum has swung true to form in the Russian revolution.

 Eighty-five per cent of the Russian people were only freed from actual slavery fifty-eight years ago. Just three per cent of the whole popu1a- tion were privileged to have what to you and me are the common necessi- ties of life, including admission to the high schools and universities to the
 service of the state and to the rank 1 of officers in the army. These were
 closed to ninety-seven per cent. ot Russians.

the impossible conditions under stituting Russia's soldiers were ob- Hged to fight-half armed, i'll clad, and without shoes to keep their bleed ing feet off the snow, or food to eat, and with the knowledge in their hearts that the I@ck of all these things came about through the neg Iect and corruption and indifference of their rulers and wealthy classes.
 If we bear these facts in mind when we examine the treatment the ninety-seVen per cent have been ac- coTUing the three per cent during the past fifteen months, the results will shock Hs less than they otherwise would.
 If we bear these facts in mind, we will not be so much surprised that this people tried to climb the ladder of social reform up which all human ity is struggling to a sweeter, freer ! existence without testing any of the intermediate rungs many of which as you and I know will not bear mans 1 weight from centuries of misuse and disUse.
 ? If we view their performance with open minds, we will conclude whatever we may think of their chance of success, that we have been witnessing the most remarkable poor mans experiment of this or any other time-

 Famous Generals Fail The popularity of a government or the force of a. national movement must be judged by the internal strength it exhibits, and we have wit messed this movement overcoming its internal enemies one by one.

 They promised that if the Allies would but send in troops the people would join them in great numbers l to overturn this weak government. This, too, has been tried, with the same result. The masses did not join them, and, in due course, we now know they will be withdrawn. No, gentlemen!

 lieve it's trial will have resulted in
 opportunities for living. for real liv- ing, which they never have enjoyed or
 dreamed of before
 I hope this because I have a wealth
 of gratitude in my breast for the workmen and peasants of Russia, who.
 by invading East Prussia in 1914, saved Paris; who, by invading Aus tria and keeping Germany busy in 1914 gave England tis1e to prepare her great army and thus again saved our Allies. I have a wealth of grati- 1 tude in my heart, and so I believe

I can only speak fer my. self, but I know that I should not like to give a very strong certificate of my power of Self-restraint under such conditions.
 It always seemed to me as though 1 the Allied governments have made much the same responss to Russia as did the constituents of the Weste~- politician who sought their suffrage for Congress. He told t'lcm he had fought through the Indian wars and been five times wounded; he had travelled the burning plains of Mexi co and lived without water for days in our Mexican war; he had fought through the Rebellion and marched into battle shoeless and hungry, and had received wound at the Battle of Chickamauga that was almost mor- tai. When he had finished a man stepped out from the group and speaking for all, said: eff you have done all these things, you have given service enough to your country; so we will vote for the other fellow Russia Needs Sympathy It has always seemed to me that the Allies might have remembered d that Russia was the first free child born of this war, and the fact that the babe came into the world uncouth grotesque and deformed was no req son for denying 1t nourishment in the hope perhaps of making it a more normal, healthy being.
 It has always seemed to me that we should have realized that it was
 gestating through hundreds of years of slavery and oppression, and came forth through the agony of millions of miserable mothers.
