NUMBER II

Tonight, Thursday, the third night
for the Redpath Chautauqua program
Nine. Augusta Lenska, Russian Prima
Donna, and the Great Lakes String
Quartette, in a grand concert, will
feature the program in it's entirety.
A Russian, Nine. Lenska is thor
oughly acquainted with the psychic
mystery of Bolshevism, and in reply
to question this morning she said
that bolshevism was simply due to
Ignorance" Nine. Lenska YEAS
born in Russia, where bolshevism o.
riginated, and remained there untils
the outbreak of the war. Speaking
to a reporter she further explained
her answer to the above question:
what do we think now of the first
type of bicycle that was invented?"
she asked. ut appears to US now
to be the most ludicrous and foolish
machine that could have been made
to accomplish the object sought. We
wonder now why they did not see the
modern machine with it's facility SIM.
plicity and grace.
"That is the way of the people of
Russia. The soul of Russia is just
reaching the inventive stage. They
are making the first thrust of origi-
nality as a people who have won their
first morsel of freedom. 1t is no
wonder that their first attempts are
disastrous and seem like radical and
national suicide to the world, which
has perfected its plans of govern.
ment The Russian people have
knowledge of the wonderful things
outside, but they think that every
thing that is done is done to the det-
riment of the poor and laboring class,
gust as under the czar everything was
done for the benefit of the rich and
powerful while the downtrodden suf-
fered from the taxes they were rob-
bed of. They have set about to re-
construct new world and in their
ignorance they are performing some
of the most gruesome things. Their
present oreder in the years to come
will look like the obsolete bicycle
looks to us now. Russia will find
herself"
Speaking further Nine. Lenska said
that "What impressed me most in
America is Americas idealism. This
people has the greatest moral vision
that the world ever saw. Would that
the world could see its wonderful
colorings of justice, mercy, special
| privilege to none and all those things
that make ptrue altruism. Your
president is the most wonderful man
in the world-there is not nation in
the world bat trusts him and his
country" she concluded.
