GRANDMOTHER OF
REVOLUTION I 0
LECTURE TODAY
Nine. Catherine Breshkovsky
Will Relate Conditions in
Russia at Brandeis
Theater Tonight.

After the hostile demonstrations
in many eastern cities by the boil
sheviki, Nine. Catherine Breshkov-
sky. "The Grandmother of the Rus
sian Revolution" who arrived here
yesterday morning, found it difficult
to keep the tears back when she
found herself among enthusiastic
Americans and warm friends of the
Social Settlement Of the Maytime
lunch yesterday noon, fifth floor of
Orchard & Wilhelm.
In a private dining room, especial
" arranged for Nine. Breshkovsky
and members of the settlement
board, there were gorgeous bouquets
of flowers from the Bohenians, from
friends of Russia, from friends Of
the poor and oppressed and cor
sage OF lavender sweet peas which
had been presented by Mrs. Marie
Left Caldwell, whom the old lady
had known in Siberia several years
ago. These she carried near her
heart.
I'm many cities they would not let
us have our meetings. Some lee
lures were given under the strictest
police patrol because the bolsheviki
of America and their sympath:zers
do not understand me or my pur-
pose in coming to your country. 1t
is not to denounce the Russian revo-
lutionists, but to feed millions OF
starving children and orphans over
there, 100000 of whom are with
out parents, many fathers having
lost their lives in the allied cause.
There is so much to eat here and
so many pretty girls bringing the
food" she sighed. ooh, how l wish
our starving little Russians could
have only small part of what is
left on your plates"
Madam Breshkovsky will talk at
the Brandeis theater this evening in
the interest of the children of whom
she speaks.

stockbrige Might Do.

Mr.. Stockbridge moved promptly
toward us at Mr.. Donkers' call, but
I could see that his action was
tinged with reluctance. He evidently
also had noticed his wife's increas-
ing restlessness and moodiness,
knew, no doobt, far better than any
Of the rest of US what such action
on her part portended. But there
was no escaping Mr.. Donkers, who,
apparently feeling that his matri-
monial liberty was in no danger
from me, had adopted an elephan,
tine playfulness of manner which
kept me busy controlling my risibles.
Il am afraid, Stockbridge. you are
cherishing a hereto, dangerous,
though fax-perhaps / might say,

dulged in a fatuous chuckle at his
own remark, pointing it with an in
clination of his head toward me,
"in your school. She tells me that
she believes divorce should be made
easier"
Does that make her heretic?"
Mr.. Stockbridge replied smiling, al
though I saw his eyes rowing uneasi-
ly in search of his wife. They had
not far to go, for Milly Stockbridge
was slowly making her way toward
US, doiAg it in a cleverly unobtru-
sive way, / admitted, but still pa
tently determined upon joining our
group.
"You misunderstood me entirely"
I said bit impatiently to Miss Hol-
combe's bette noir. II said l be-
lieved divorce laws should be uni
form over the country, and that
more safeguards and difficulties
should be thrown around marriage.
There are many unhappy mar
riages-" I snapped my sentence off

instance? Surely not yours, Mr..
Donkers, if we believe what you con-
stantly tell u.s." There was shrew-
ish meaning in the glance she threw
him which evidently penetrated even
his epidermis, and I learned later
that the late dear departed" Mrs.
Donkers had ruled her husband
with the rod of absolute monarchy.
"And as, of course, it couldn't
possibly be yours, Mrs. Graham"
she made the very pronunciation of
my name sound venomous, why,
then, it must be ours. Why didn't
you stand up for our record. Ken?

ing and will have few things to
say on this Leavenworth stree,
paving contract"
Last year Mr.. Tanning was
awarded contract for paving West
Leavenworth street, his bid being
nearly $4,000. based on the then
/, prevailing prices of brick and other
materials. He states that when fig.
uring his bid he estimated that brick
would cost $1.l3 per yard, as against
present prices of $l.54 to $l.58. To
carry out the contract at this time
he declared would stand him to lose
$4,000 on, the job.
Tanning Makes Charges.
He charges that the city council
last year granted the street railway
company an extension of one year in
which to change its tracks on
Leavenworth street, and he further
explains that he could not proceed
with his work until the street rail-
way company had, first relaid the
tracks. He is willing to take the
matter into court.
Mr.. Tanning and representatives
Of the street railway company have
been asked to appear before the city
council on Thursday morning for a
conference.

TAN DISAPPROVE OF ACTION
OF THE SENATE.

General regret is expressed here
over the defeat of the confirmation Of
George B. Witt of Lynnville, as Unit
ed States marshal for the middle d.
vision of Tennessee. Mr.. Witt has
been serving under a recess appoint
ment as marshal since March l, last,
and has made an exceptionally fine re-
cord. His defeat was purely political
and does not in any way reflect upon
him either as a man or official
Mr.. Witt was appointed solely upon
the recommendation of the then attor-
ney general of the United States, Watt
Gregory, who was his classmate at
the famous Webb school at Culleoka.
Senator Shields and Senator Mcclellan
had made other recommendation and
although Mr.. Witt had been the devot-
ed friend of both senators they united
in his defeat. Promptly upon receipt
of information that he had been re-
jected by the senate, Mr.. Witt tele-
phoned his deputy in this territory,
Mr.. Sands. and ordered him to cease
his activities.

Wilson to Blame.
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-President
Wilson is to blame for failure of the
peace treaty ratification and the flu
ture of the United States is in no
way imperiled by it, senators declared
today in reply to the above article
written for the United Press by
Thomas Nelson Page, former ambas-
sador to Italy.
"The defeat of the treaty is due
solely to the order from the President
to his Democratic friends in the SEN
ate to kill the Americanizing reserva-
tions. if possible, and failing in that
direction, tc kill the treaty itself
which they proceeded to do" Senator
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey said.
IL cannot conceive of more dictate
rial act that the Presidents attempt
to throttle the senate of the United
States whose members ore the repre-
sentatives of the people of the United
States and not of Europe"
Senator Calder of New York said:
1.-The American people need have no
fear as to the future Our country is
at peace today. 1t will be well now
to direct our attention to problems
within our own country and engage in
our normal life without hesitation or
fear for the future.
"The rejection of the treaty We'd
nesday clearly demonstrates that the
American people are opposed to the
league OF nations in the form which
it was presented. They adhere today,
as they have from the inception of the
republic. to the policy laid down by
Washington and upheld by every
president to Mr.. wilson's time. that
the future of America can best be
safeguarded by refraining from inter,
