Little Destruction

Then | discovered streets where the
facades Of the buildings were Clipped
by shot, windows pierced by bullets, the
holes mended by plaques of glass, in
some cases with paper, and at the bot
tom of one of the boulevards a carre
four which was a mass of tumhled brick
and ruin, while row Of tall houses on
one side was nothing but a skeleton Of
Quilted brick and stone work. This was
the result of the risir. Of the Social
Revo, utionaries in June last year. But
on the whole the destruction was very
small when the huge size of the city
and the scenes that have taken place
there are taken into account.
"'Moscow is dead city, said to me
a man in town on the way to Kieff
which visited That seems TO me to be
too strong statement. There is
plenty Of movement. plenty of noise,
but on the whole life is grayer in tone,
duller in flavor, than in the Moscow
which knew few years ago."
One of the things that struck Mr..
Goode most at Moscow was the COM
pleteness of public safety. main
tanned by the police and armed mill
tary patrols. Security in the streets,
he says, is absolute even at night,
in spite Of the fact that there is no
street lighting. Prostitution has dis
appeared and beggary has been con-
siderably reduced.
Mr.. Goodies attention and time
were chiefly devoted to studying the
soviet personnel and the methods Of
Bolshevist officialdom. He asserts
that the eighteen commissaries, or
ministers. are men of unusual in
telligence," in some cases Of high
technical qualifications. He says:
"The commssaries of the people
form the real executive, and they are
men of grip. They recoil from no act
which they consider justiiable in tho
interests Of the government. And here
is, think, one of the secrets Of their
power. Another Is their capacity for
work. The stories Of orgies and Of
self-seeking are qaite false. A London

lives are very simple. their habits and
