Russia's Little Grandmother.

Katherine Breshkovsky. after 30 years of prison and exile, at 75 still fights for happiness for Russia and is now touring the United States for that purpose. Peter Merritt says of her. in Everybody's: For a quarter of a cen tury they have called her Tho Little Grandmother of the Revolution.'
 When her term was up the stout hearted girl Katya. who had gone into exile at 2S for teaching peasants that they were people, came out The little grandmother" a white-haired woman of 50 and just as stout-hearted as ever. It was after that, in 1905, that she toured America and collected $10,0oo for the cause of Russian freedom Back at old St. Peterburg. she was soon deep in the 1905 revolution and soon again a prisoner in solitary con finement in the Fortress of Sts. Peter and Paul. There she lay three years awaiting trial.
 After three years in Sts. Peter and Paul, conviction again and a sentence to hard labor in the mines of Kara. And in spite of several efforts at escape, Breshkovsky remained an exile, endur- ing the intensest hardships until the great event in which she had always believed came to pass in March. 1917.
 Can you imagine never celebrating any of your birthdays or Christmases until you were past 10 and then cele- brating them all continuously there after to make up? That was how it was with Breshkovsky all the rest of that spring after the revolutionists sent special train into Sibera after her. Crowds at every station to catch sight of her-with laughter. tears and flow ers-I do not think that anywhere in the world there ever was bride who received so many flowers said Bab- oushka with the gaiety that is part and parcel of her gallant spirit"

COVERING BY SMALL bHORTS CAUSED 4
 BULGE IN GRAIN PIT
Oats Made Both Gains and Losses, While the Provi- sions List Varied Up
 and Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 31.-Belated covering g by small shorts brought about a sharp
 last half of the month bulge in corn prices today notwithstanding big re- teipts. The market closed unsettled at
 Sc to Sc net higher with July s1.667s 10 s1.661s, and September s1.5SA to S1.56s Oats finished at 1 Ac net de- tline to A advance, and provisions varying from 200 off to rise of 65c
 Fresh supplies here amounting to be- tween 6e9 and 700 carloads turned the .corr market downward at first and re- Qieved to 6 degree any disastrous squeeze
 Selling pressure, however, did not become as radical as the huge receipts |had appeared to indicate and it soon |develeped that industries were compet- ling with elevators to an unusual de- Igree Never rtheless. small shorts wait led in hope of an eleventh hour collapse |of values. The wait was futile, though, flor the rush to cover the last five min |utes of the session carried May up to |the highest price of the day, sc above the previous close
 Breaking of the drouth in the north west made the oats market relatively weak. Provisions averaged higher ow- ing chiefly to export buying on lard Strength of hog quotation at the va rious principal centers counted also as a bUllish in9rease.

ARTISTS FORMED
 THEIR OWN SOVIET

London. April 2s-Prima donnas, tenors and conductors ruled amicably together, in one of the queerest "soviets" the rev olution produced in Petrograd, says AL bert Coates, ran English conductor who has recently returned from Russia The Maryinsky opera, with which MT. Coates was connected at the time, thus managed to escape being engulfed by Bolshevism.
 At the beginning of the revolution" he relates, i've formed a little republic of our own and ruled ourselves. We consti- tuted an administrative committee, con sisting of two conductors, of whom I was one, four singers, two chorus and two or chestra artists, the members being chosen by vote.
 There were no intrigues, everybody having only the good of the theater a. heart, and the opera flourshed both ar- tistically. and financially until hunger sapped our strength and beat us in the uneven fight.
 We went through one bad crisis when the mob swarmed round the theater and was preparing to burn it down. We all went out en masse to the front of the building, and each one of us harangued that part of the crowd that he fell among. and so we managed to turn them from their purpose and saved our theater."

Mark Our Heroes Graves. Eroy,o T.eR1ie,a

America must prove. in the case of those who paid the price in the great war, that republics are not ungrateful. The graves of our dead in France are now marked by little wooden crosses erected by the comrades of those who we'll. What more fitting headstone could there be than replicas in stone of these crosses, sunk in concrete. On them should be inscribed name, rank. regiment and date of death. The Uni ted States provided for the physical comfort of those in >her service on a scale more lavish than that of any other power. The whole nation felt that noth- ing was too good for our fighters. Nor Is anything too good for those who sleep in the battle-scarred fields of France. The incoming Congress should take this up as one of its first items of business.

Tokio, April 16-The spirit of unrest is stirring the minds of the Japanese people. says the Jiji, which has the reputation of being Japan's most Conservative and most thoughtfully edited newspaper. in a warning to the authorities. The editor says:
 "The wave thoughts radfating from Paris are having contradictory effects here, democracy. being preached side by side with very old fashioned caste ideas. so that the people do not know where to look for the guiding post.
 Tn economies everybody is at one in feeling the pressure of the hardships of living. There is every indication thai the labor element of this country will not rest content with it's present lot"

EXTRA SPORTING PAGE
CORNELL TEAM
 SHOWS PEP IN
 PRACTICE CAME

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct 9-The Cornell varsity squad approached the peak of 8 weeks hard practice yesterday afternoon in a long scrimmage in which the honors were fairly even, though Shiverick. Shuler, Davies and Mayer. the varsity backf1eld, made some consistent gains and chalked up one touchdown for the regulars.
 The first team had nothing on the second in this matter of scoring, however, for it, too, got a touchdown after it's backs, including Wahl, Mac kenzie and Olney, frequently pune tured the first teams defence
 There was more pep and go to both exhibited this season. The squad is in much better condition than it was in the warm days last week. Ragged form by individuals, offside play and uncertainty in defence against the forward pass were the unsatisfa ctOry developments and it is quite obvious that the team has a long way to go to be ready to meet Colgate and Dartmouth on even terms.
 The shift at right halfback where Mayer rejoined the varsity, was the kenzie went over to the second team and played another good game. The showing of HorreII at centre on the second team attracted attention. Ere quent shifts were made and practi- cally all of the leading candidates were given a thorough trial.

THE STRAIN OF
 THE PRESIDENCY

Most people will feel surprise. not that President Wilson has at last faI- len sick, but that he stood so long the strain. Few men could have borne the burden.
 No one can realize the weight of the load a President carries through a war. The lives of millions of sol diers are in his hands. The conduct of the munition and supply business far exceeds the difficulty of operat- ing any corporation in the United States. And the work of organizing and running ali this can not be built up gradually it has to be improvised all at once. Every one Is anxious and critical, and the President must take the responsibility.
 Then in addition the problems of readjustment have been far greater than the ordinary peace questions President Wilson has had to help create a new world order. It has been one long story of conflict and struggle. However one may feel about the Presidents wisdom, he has taken his load with good nature and self control.
 The work of the presidency alone in peace times is enough to break down any ordinary man. Even MT. Roosevelt, with all his NiSor, showed signs of strain when he closed his term. He needed a long period of rest, lacking which his life came to an untinely end.
 President Wilson, even on the most hopeful view, is in for a long period of quiet. He can not keep up the pace No one could. He has done his best to accomplish the things ne has set his heart upon. Now he must leave it at that, and let the country work out these problems. There comes 8 time in the life of every man when he must lay aside his work for time and let the heal ing forces of nature promote recov- cry, or lay it aside forever. Of course President Wilson. in spite of his rath- CT frail appearance, has shown that he has an exceptionally strong con- stitltion which should give him a quicker recovery than the majority of people could expect.

BERGEN
 COACHING GLEES

New Haven, Oct. 9.---With the com pIetion of his duties as chairman of the Democratic town committee, Frankie Bergin, the well known local football star and eN-Princeton quar- terbarl1, has assumed the role of coaching of the Washington Glee club football team and last night sent the Hill boys through the sdffest practice of the -pason. Bergin's services were secured because of the calibre of the team the Glees will meet Sunday af- ternoun on the Sayin Rock grounds in the Providence Steam Rollers.
 Despite the fact that the Steam Rol- lers, when 1t played the Annex team in this city, was undoubtedly the strongest football aggregation which ever invaded New Haven and lined up against a local semi-pro combina- ton, word has g0een advanced from Rhode Island that the Providence team is even more formidable this season that ever, and 1t was stated last night that the Steam Rollers will have in their lineup a number of Brickley-s New York Giants eleven, which was recently disbanded, The remainder of the team will be com posed of eGBrown university stars, several of whom were chosen by Wal ter Camp on the first and second All American teams.

BROWN EXPECTS TO
 GET HARD BATTLE
 FROM COLGATE BOYS

Providence, R l., Oct. 9.---Brown's 6 first string eleven yesterday tore up the seconds for a total of four touch downs. The work of the first team showed marked Improvement, espe- cialIy in working the forward pass. Albright. playing right end on the first team, received most of the throws and showed marked ability.
 Line-plunging tactics were also ex- tensiveIy used. Fox, who has been out of the lineup a few days; Sam son and Emery all went through the seconds for good gains.
 During the greater part of the prac- tice the first team held the seconds in check. After the third Eick-uff. the seconds. holding the ball on their 4O- yard line started q march down the field that carried them to the first team's four-yard line. A 15-yard gain on a, pass from Moody to Faulkner was one of the features of this gain, and Piert got away for a 25-yard run. The first team stifened at this point and took the ball The eleven will be put through another hard scrimmage today as a windup of the practice for the Colgate game at Hamilton on Sat urday.
