in normal times the domination of
mighty organized and overwhelming
majority of the nation by smaIl
minority consisting OF the least edu-
Gated and qualified members of the
population would be an impossibility.
But the conditions created In Russia
after three years of war were anything
but normal. Millions OF deserters
trained In the use of arms and de-
prtved OF their usual means Of exist
ence roamed all over the country and
swelled the ranks OF the mob yearning
for food and excitement. At the same
time German Kaiserism considered it
vital that Russia should be dismem-
bered and ruined. and that Bolshevism
should dominate, supported by Ger
man patronage. 49,.
THE conditions created by the world
war thus caused the triumph Of Boil
shevism In Russia. But with the end
OF the world war and with the utter
defeat of Kaiserism the Bolshevik
domination would have disappeared
had 1t been ordinary mob rule. The
victories of Spartacus in ancient Rome
and of his initators In other parts of
the ancient world have always been
short lived. .a

the money with which TO maintain
their existence. The manufacturers,
placed under the control of the work
mems committees, managed also to
bribe them and hide a part of their
output. which they secretly sold to
spectators, thus continuing TO raise
the means for livelihood.
"As soon as Lenine felt last summer
that Kaiserism was weakening under
the blows of the Allies, and that there
fore the breathing space allowed to
him by the Brest-Litovsk treaty was
coming to an end. he completed his
scheme of subjugating the Russian
population TO his plans. lie achieved
that by organizing committees OF the
poor in towns and villages, the most
powerful and hideous Instruments ever
invented in history. The committees
Of the poor in the villages gave him the
grain which both the Czarist and Ke-
rensky governments had tried in vain
to get from the peasants.

But nothing could be hidden from the

Every man in the school must learn

For this there is a buxser class in an
other room. Every plane connected
with the police reserve will be equipped
with a wireless apparatus that COM
munications may be made to the sta
ton atop Police Headquarters.
Up to the present time no arrange
ments have been made for Il course in
aerial photography in connection with
the school, but this branch will IN
doubtedly be added.
There is no doubt but that this
school is instructing young men thor
oushly in a new art, and when they
are graduated mechaniclans and IL
censed pilots, n means OF making a
good livelihood will be theirs. They
will always be at the beck and call OF

tions with the organization.

Russian Terror Not Due to Mere Mob Rule

Thus in every village a committee
OF spies was established. which became
a local organ of the Government and
disclosed the hidden reserves to agents
sent from the central Government.
Central depots of grain and other eat
ables were organized in the great
cities and commerce was nationalized.
Even the 'sackers' (soldiers and small
merchants, who at first were allowed
TO bring a sack OF grain Weighing not
more than sixty pounds from the
country to sell in the towns) We're de-
clared enemies OF the nation and shot
when caught. A similar fate awaited
those peasants who refused to yield up
their reserves TO the State.
Thus with the help Of terror and
the Committees OF the Poor Lenine has
succeeded during the last few months
in obtaining enormous quantities of
grain and other eatahles and concen-
tratiRg them in his central depots.
similar Committees OF the Poor
have been established in every indus
trial concern and in every house in the
town. Russian town houses consist Of
numerous fats. The poorest inhab-
itants OF the houses and the most des-
titute employees in the industrial con-
cerhs have become members of the
committees. All the property in the
premises, including furnituye, money,
merchandise, and even personal cloth
ing, was declared the property OF the
State, registered, and placed under the
control Of the corresponding Commit
tee OF the Poor.
THE committees watch strictly over
all the movements OF the inhabitants
of the house or fats, and see that not
single article is removed from the
premises without written permission
of the Commissionaircs OF the region.
TIL then the citizens Of the town had
managed to exc out a living by gradu
ally selling their belongings at the high
prices then ruling. This last means of
existence has thus been suppressed.
Such were Lenine's preparations for
giving the 'hc"rseeIsie' the coup ac
grace" A.

and Trotsky's antecedents and their
policy since they attained power, show
that they are not money seekers or or
arA- striving In their own ma way -.or
the realisation OF what they believe TO
be the communistic ideal.
THE difference between Kerensky
and Lenine, between Ebert and Lieb-
knecht, is not a difference in their
ultimate goal, but a difference In the
way Of working for it, a difference OF
methods, OF conceptions of the course
Of human development.
"Kerensky, Vandervelde and Albert
Thomas believe that a socialistic order,
a world based on equality and justice.
can be established by education OF the
laboring masses, by the training of
their capacities in administration of
industry and State affairs. by grad
ually raising labor to a higher stan
dard OF living. They believe in evolu-
ton. in peaceful progress, and in this
way they are supported by all the
progressive parties OF modern democ-
racies.
When, eighteen months ago, Lenlne
came to Russia through Germany he
knew we'll and frankly stated in pub
lie that Russia. with her backward in
dustries and illiterate masses, was in
capable OF establishing a Socialist
State. He knew. therefore. that any
body who had any stake in the coun-
try would be against him. But he be-
lieved that the world war. IL 1t lasted

lions Of the European commonwealth

World Building, commissioner Wan
amaker is striving for welfare work
among young men. But 1t is most
important that New York city be pre-
pared to meet the situation wheM the
great commercial use OF airplanes
comes. Already we have mail routes
people are beginning to use planes for
pleasure, flights from one city to an
other are not now causing much COM
ment; 1t san accepted thing that the
aeroplane has come commercially and
come to stay.
Thousands OF men are returning
from the other side and coming out of
camps hero who have become aviation
enthusiasts. These men will continue
to fly and Will undoubtedly be the first
employed to run machines for CONNER
oial purposes. For this there must be
traffic rules and regulations and there
must be men up in the air to police
the skies just as they are now doing
on the streets.
Like the Motorcycle squad.
When the automobile was first used
there were no rules for It. Rules had
TO be gradually developed. The motor
cycle squad is doing on the ground in
connection with automobiles the work
that the aero squad will do aloft. The
experience with the motorcycle squad
and the development of police work
with automobiles has been of great
value to the department in the prepa-
ration Of the aero police.
such Is The reason for the school
A man can learn quickly to run a
motorcycle or An automobile. An au-
tomobile school can be conducted in a
space small compared with that re-
quired for aviation. II can also be
conducted at small expense. while the
expenditures connected with aviation
arc tremendous. It takes time to pro-
duce a good mechanic or a competent
flyer, and We are not starting a bit too
soon. At present we have fifty boys
ready so take the final course in flying

ut forty men who were listening TO the
lecture had been paying a good round
sum for tuition they could not have
given more whole hearted attention.
In another classroom stands a
motor mounted high 10 give tho long
eladed propeller revolving space. Up
on this platform was another instruc-
tor talking to a group Of some ten
pupils. Now and again there would be
c staccato put-put from q motor cylin-
der as he explained the working Of a
machine. Then questions from pupils
and detailed explanations would follow.
Ono student was stationed on the
floor in front OF the propeller. He
stood at attention as il waiting a COM
mand.
Now said the instructor, "is all
| that perfectly clear to you boys? Does
any one want TO ask a question before
we start her off?"
Engine Starts Running.
Apparently no one did, and so a
sharp command was given by the in
structor. the engine was started, the
'--ONS' p'NHON ny ana lIleT al

+ attention sprang into action: he gave
swing TO the propeller, a quick jump
TO the side and they were off.
Earthquakes. cyclones. explosions
broke forth in that room and all roared
on together as the propeller spun into
action. If you have heard the noise In
| the open you know It Is not slight.
but inside a room OF moderate pro-
portions It is tremendous. Yet the
pupils enjoy It; It Is the forerunner of
| the thing that means flight, and one
might readily think that the greater
the noise the keener their delight.
Above the noise OF the motor came
the shouts of the instructor, pointing
here and there. The boys who had
been In this class before gathered
close around him on the narrow plat
form to catch his explanations, but
those who were for the first time see
Ing the motor in action stood staring
at the propeller that seemed one huge
tan colored disc, or else they watched
the lightning working motor.
He is a wise instructor. Never for
a moment does he try 10 gain the new
| boys attention. He believes that first
or all this novelty must wear off be-
fore a new pupil can give his I'M
divided attention to details of instruc-
tion- Finally the motor was stopped
