Truer words. in the light Of that
moment, it would manifestly have been
difficult to frame. Colonel THOMPSON
proposed to have them written and
spoken throughout Russia The Rus
sian members of his new committee
were in full agreement with him. They
were persons of standing certainly
unimpe peachable. They were:
Nine Catherine Breshko- Bresh kov-
skaya, grandmother of the revolution,
anti-Bolshevik
Nicholas Tchaikovsky, leader Of the
peasant co0peratives, afterward head
(under the Allies of the government
of the north in the Archangel district,
anti Bolshevik.
Lazarov, formerly manager of the
revolutionary underground station
in Switzerland, anti-Bolshevik.
General Neusl owsky, one of the
most trusted of Kerensky's generals,
anti Bolshevik.
David Soskice, Kerensky's private
secretary, anti Bolshevk.
Such was the committee. It was
strong in personnel, but it was weak
in money. Colonel Thompson attended
to that detail. He provided money to
deposited, in a bank at Petrograd, to
be drawn on by the committee, an inn
mediate fund Of million dollars out
of his own private fortune
Some people are saying now that ths
money Colonel Thompson contributed
to affairs in Russia was contributed tc
the Bolshevik movement. They make
this statement in an effort to argue
against Colonel Thompson's conclu-
sions and recommendation regarding
American policy toward Russia. The
effort may be legitimate, but the state
ment is not. Colonel Robins says:
~ repeat to you what said to the
Senate committee under oath. Colonel
Thompson never contributed one cent
in Russia to the Bosheviki But he
did contribute one million dollars
against the Bolsheviki. He contrib
uted one million dollars Of his own
money to an organization for educating
the Russian people to see the menace
and the peril of the peace the Bolshc-
wiki were advocating,"

centres of population and of demand
and of need Russia began to be under
fed and underclad and underwarmed.
1t began to suffer, at first slightly, then
horribly. 1t stood in the gale of the
world war with an empty stomach,
shivering and angry. And the Allies
said "Fight.' Robins heard the an
swer
He heard it in his translations of
the newspapers. He heard it in his re-
ports from his friends and agents in
the army. He heard it with his own
ears during his own numerous visits to
army barracks. 1t was the we'll known
simply:
Who made US fight? The Car.
What did the Car want? The Darda-
nelles. What do we care about the
Dardanelles? Nothing.
why do the Germans fight? Be-
cause the Kaiser makes them.
"Why do the Allies fight? Because
their rulers make them, by conscrip-
ton. What do their rulers want?
They want Syria for France and Meso-
potamia for England and some Greek
islands for Italy. When we ask them
why, when we ask them to speak their
full mind, they say this is no time for
speaking.
Eve will speak. We will speak to
everybody. We will speak to the Ger
mans. They are workers and peasants,
too. Nine out of ten of them are work
ers and peasants. We do not want
their land. They do not want ours.
We will speak to them and tell them
what is in our hearts, they will not
fight US any more. Why should they?"
Perhaps only Russian peasants, if
one may believe what one conventions
ally hears about them, could have been
so beautiful and so silly. OF course,
the day may come when beauty will
fill the world, and the Stiffness of men
is said to be one of the means of
Providence to the dawning of that day.
There is some such hint in scripture.
But no such day was shining in 1917.
In 1917 Robins was solidly certain
that Ludendorff's troops would not Law

arguing Soviets, even if the Mahom-
etan Soviet went along with its most
cogent and convincing thoughts. Robins

HOLD BRIDE AS
CHIEF WITNESS
IN MURDER CASE
Police Believe That Shaw Was
Killed in Swift
Vengeance

, New York, Aug. 2. - Swift VEN
geance for the killing of a gang
leader, after the fashion of the feuds
which made New York's East Side
notorious, some years ago, is the
verdict of the police after an in
vest!gation into the shooting affray
in Hoboken last night which resulted
in the death of Robert Rubber"
Shaw and the serious wounding OF
George Lewis.
The story, pieced together by the
police of New York and Hoboken,
begins with the shooting down OF
Tanner" Smith while playing poker
in resort known as the Marginal
Club in this city Saturday night
Tanner" was the leader of the
Irish Paddy" gang which once held
sway in Greenwich village but the
gang was supposed to have been
dispersed and their chief was said
to have reformed. The police claim
that three men were hired to "get"
Smith, his death having been plan
ned as the upshot of dispute be-
tween rival contractors engaged in
the handling of beef.
The names of the men who
killed Smith were an open secret
throughout gangland, the police say,
and a general alarm was sent out
for the arrest of Rubber" Shaw.
The vengeance of the gang was
swifter than the pursuit of the po-
lice, however. Last night, as Shaw
and Lewis were standing on a Ho-
boken street corner an automobile
carrying five men whirled to the
sidewalk, there was a fusillade of
shots and when the smoke cleared
away Shaw was lying dead with two
bullets through his breast. Lewis
was lying beside him seriously
wounded and the automobile had
disappeared.
The principal witness upon whom
the police rely for the substantiation
of their story is the nineteen-year-
old widowed bride of Shaw. The
girl, who is being held as material
witness, says she was married to the
dead man on Monday.

convenience of building. Several
months ago council authorized the
laying of water pipes in Pine street
