FORMER SLAV 4
MINISTER TO
U. S..ARRIVES
Fled From Russia Last May
After Bolsi1eviki As
asurned Power.

New York. April Barron Roman
Romanovitch Rosen, former Russian
ambassador to the United States. and
Russian delegate to the treaty Of
Portsmouth. arrived here today on
the Swedish finer Stockholm. His
coming had been unannonnced.
Baron R0sen with hts family. who
accompanied him. ned from Russia
last May and made his way to Swed-
en- on q British steamship.
!. The former ambassador, Baroness
YRosen and their daughter Elizabeth,
left Petrograd In a train for the
Murmansk coast. arriving there after
a six-day journey. They then took
passage for Stockholm. The baron
became alarmed in Russia for his
safety after the Bolsheviki came into
power.
Baron Rosen represented Russia at
Washington from 1905 to 1911. Up
on the outbreak Of the war he de-
clared in Petrograd he believed the
struggle would lead to "a new con-
ceptton Of political relations" Be
cause of his advocacy of ending re-
! strictive measures against Finland in
1917 he was offered and declined the
Eovernorship of that country. Later
1t was reported he would be returned
to the United States as ambassador
by the Kerensky regime.
A leading member of the Society.
for Promoting Mutual Friendly Rela-
tons between Russia and America,
Baron Rosen was quoted in June,
1917. az being in favor Of an entente
conference at which the basis of a
peace with the Central Powers might
be discussed and determined. He
was credited with saying that in such
q move lay Russia's escape from her
present chaotic condition" The Ros-
en- talk of a peace parley was not
we'll received in Washington.
Baron Rosen said here today that
he was in thorough accord with
President Wilson in the present Paris
negotiations and expressed the hope
that they would be brought to an gar
ly conclusion. He declined to discuss
the present internal conditions in
Russia. =
He paid a tribute to Ira Nelson
Morris, United States minister to
Sweden. declaring that during the
progress of the war he had "acted up
to the highest traditions Of the great
nation he represented"

Sir Earnest Shackleton!
Pleads for Reinforcements.
at Once; Fears Another
Khartum.
BY The Associated Press,


London. April Sir Ernest Shack
Teton. director of equipment and trans
%portation Of the Northern Russian
Expeditionary forces, has just return
ed from Murmansk and Archangel. He
declares that both fronts are in dan
ger, and that the Bolshevist period is
a very real because the Entente
forces are outnumbered by disciplin-
ed and we'll armed and we'll equipped
troops in close touch with the Allies
extended, but by NJ e strong,
front. - :. y n,
I'VE must avoid the possibility OF
another Khartum," says Sir Ernest.
He urges the need of sending rein
forcements Immediately. These. he
asserts, can reach Murmansk from
England in less than a week.
London, April s.-The curtain was
raised for the British public on the
position Of the Allied armies in North
Russia for the hrst time this after
noon. The serious situation in the
Murmansk region and the attempt
by the Bolsheviki to drive the Allied
troops on the Archangel front into the
sea are the cause Of much anxiety.
The London afternoon papers carried
startling headlines of which the Brit
ish Army Imperiled" was typical.
The public bought papers eager
ly, having no idea which army was
referred to. Some Of the papers de-
clared that another Kut surrender or
Khartum tragedy threatened.

mem: when they are declared bank
rupt, they engage in the task Of
proving that while they cannot man
age their own private affairs, theyAare
particularly capable Of cunning the
business of an entire commonwealth.
Or it .is the consciousness of~power
this type wants to possess. 1t Is said
to have a strange fascination, and has
often melted it's victims TO commit
crimes which may not be judged in
meath the contempt Of the right
minded part of humanity. In the
name Of power credulity has been
abused as often as it has in the name
of riches, and quite commonly the two
factors are combined in the strange
mentality Of, the man, who thinks he
ought to be the leader OF men.
Fame Becko1s, Too,
A, certain type Of "leaders'' care
nothing for money or power. but only
for so-called,. fame-the most elusive
and the least valuable of all objects
of human desire. To have their name
yelled from house tops, to have it ap-
pear in ten thousand newspapers and
magazines and finally to have 1t en-
graved firmly and indelibly on the
pages of %posterity, is their principal
ambition. 1t is seldom isolated. Gem
orally it is affiliated with the yearn-
ing for money and power. =
Where this trinity Of symbols lodges
in the heart of a leader" the ques-
ton Of the peoples welfare becomes
merely a secondary one. To benefit
gain all there is to gain becomes the
end ultimately to be attained.
A man who is in possession of these
three cardinal desires il dangerous
because he uses every means at his
disposal for the sole purpose of taking
advantage of those whom he pretends
to lead to ideal conditions. He ia
dangerous because he lies In words as
sweet as aaccharine; because he holds
up to people a picture Of what their
lives might be, which is so .idealized
that it attracts; he Is dangerous, fur
Their, because he does not hesitate to
describe actually existing conditions
as intolerable, and because he makes
some people believe that he alone is
the man who can bring about q state
tof~perfection. %

(By G. s. ~strandvold.)

One Of the striking traits of hVman-
ity is its credulity; another, its lack
Of healthy Nscepticism. The presence
Of the n and the absence of the
other make it possible for false pro-
phets and demagogues to flourish be-
cause it is easy to impose upon those
who believe everything without in
vestigation, and difficult to convince
people who calmly declare. that they
want to be shown"
The credulity Of the masses thus
becomes the chief asset OF selfish
persons who want their schemes sup
opinion. Often they succeed because
their oratory, their writings and the
general run OF their arguments
SEEM so utterly convincing that
doubt would be out Of place. They
receive the plaudits, the active sup
port, the pledges and, incidentally,
the money of those who believe with
out demanding proof.
Given a certain ability to lead, and
given a sufficient quantity Of public
credulity. the soil is fertile enough for
the production Of q mind that desires
conquest. The combination is ire
der cover.
Searching For Motives.
1t happens that people who are un-
der the spell of some leader, stop to
inquire: What does he really want ?
What are his primary motives? Does
he want to help us-and If SO, why?
When these questions become in
sistent. credulity has already lost the
game. Doubt takes its place. CUES
ton begets question, and a thorough
soo pah fnr tfruf rrinCin1Aas haw3no
Possessing q pretty fair knowledge
sons that there is something striking
ly unusual about a leader who main
tains what he wants, Is to benefit
1.-THE people," He does not say that
he is DESTROYS of riches, of promi-
hence, Of power. but simply that he
is the friend Of the poor, downtrodder
masses.
The doubter asks: Why should his
words be taken for granted? Why
should he not submit proofs
And the reason for such questions
is that the demagogue or the false
prophet generally possesses such
individual who sacrifices all he has
and is for the sake of humanity. His
tory records that a number Of great
leaders Of men have paid with their
lives for their love Of mankind.
Does the modern demagogue OF
false prophet LOVE mankind? Is
that why he insists on reforms and
revolutions Are the Bolshevikis low
ers Of humanity? Are the I. w. WIS
and their leaders? Are the leaders OF
socialistic movements Of any descrip-
ton generally tmbued with a spirit OF
mercy-or ia it q yearning for glory?
