TO NATIONALS
Radical Decentralization in
Russian Government Ad-
miral kolchak's S Plan.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS. Friday, July 25.-Radical de-
Capitalization in the reconstruction of
Russia is the settled policy of Amiral
holchak, head of the all-Russian
government at Omsk. according to
Sergius Sazonoff, foreign minister Of
the Omsk government. A detailed ex-
planation of the policy and general
outline of the political plans of the
holchak government were given today
to The Associated Press by NJ Saxon
off. who recently returned from Lon
don, where he conferred with British
officials.
The statement, the Omsk foreign
minister said was made because Ad-
miral Kolchak's reply to the Allies
in which he promised autonomy to
various states that have broken away
from old Russia has caused much dis
cussion. He said he considered it
desirable to give his governments
attitude toward the various nationali-
ties and sections seeking autonomy
The local government is the real
foundation of the political structure
he said, and the central government
will exercise only functions of gen
eral character. He expressed the be-
political bodies than for the small ones
and that Municipalities now animated
with centrifugal tendencies will GER
tainly appreciate the benefits of being
allied with the big states with all
its promises of guardianship and pos
sibilities of development"
Assembly to Approve.
Laws regulating the status of ma
tionalities, Minister Sazonoff said, ne
cessarily will be incorporated in the
constitution to be framed for Rus
sia by the constituent assembly, if Ad.
miral kolchak succeeds in reaching
Moscow. Consequently he explained
Admiral kOlchak's S regulations or de-
cisions cannot be considered as final
until approved by the assembly. How
ever, he added, Admiral kolchak con-
templates radical decentralization in
reconstructing Russia which was hope.

gime.

ferent peoples full opportunity TO con
struct their lives according to their
own customs and traditions and tc
cultivate their language and religion
Protection of the rights of minori

PACIFIC FLEET
GOES THROUGH
PANAMA CANAL
Great Dreadnaughts Carried
Easily Over Locks First to
Negotiate Waterway.
(By Associated Press)

On board the U. S. S. New Mexico,
July 25.-The Pacific fleet reached
Colon today in the first attempt to
negotiate the Panama waterway with
a feet of dreadnaughts.
The dreadnaughts will resume their
trip toward the Pacific ocean Saturday
at which time the Mississippi and
Wyoming, now coaling and oiling at
Colon will commence the passage of
the canal.
Admiral Hugh Rodman in command
of the fleet was pleased with the
success of the first of the canal trips.
He said: "The flagship was lifted out
of the three locks of Gatun dam in
one hour and seventeen minutes. Now
let us go tarpon fishing near the dam
putting dreadnaughts through the
canal is too easy"
Creep slowly in Canal
The battleships Georgia and Yer
mont joined the fleet at Colon today.
After the New Mexica had oiled at
Colon this afternoon she swung laxily
into Limon bay whence she took the
two ships part of the way to the dam,
creeping slowly through the first cut
tings of the waterway amid dense
Jungle growth like some weird am
pribian in a prehistoric swamp.
Nearing the locks the crew flung
landing lines out-board, which quickly
drew in-board steel cables that led to
the electric mules" running on ira cks
on each Of the locks. The whole oper'
alton seemed to function automatical
ly, for not an order was heard as the
dreadnaughts slid into the lower locks
as easily as a shuttle into a sewing
machine.
Destroyers Pass Through
The steel gates astern the flagship
then closed like great jaws and chrun
| ing water rose up from viaducts in
the bottom of the lock while the New
Mexico was lifted S easily and rapid
ly as a rowboat. The flagship was
| then lifted out of the next two locks
| in the same fashion while crowds
standing on top of the concrete lock
walls threw bananas and cocoanuts a,
the ships crew.
Twenty destroyers went through
the canal Thursday, passing through
the locks in groups of ten. Captain
Twining, chief of staff, said that the
ca nal had proved its naval value be
yond a doubt, as dreadnaughts may
be easily moved from the Atlantic tC
the Pacific with celebrity and withou,
| trouble, as shown by today's opera
ton. The Pacific fleet will leave Pan
ANA for San Diego, Calf, Sunday
night.

DICKENS

People read Dickens story six times,
says Mr.. Chesterton. because they
know Il % well. II they can read q
modern popular novel six times, Il b
only because they can forget It six
times.
One reason for this difference 10 the
vividness with which the people Of
Dickens stand out There are dozens
Of characters In Dickens whom read
ers feel they know better than they
do their most intimate .friends. One
has but to think Of Dick Swiveller or
Quilp In "The Old Curiosity Shop"
to see them moving past And there
are others In this book and In all the
novels who are SO familiar that the
mere mention of their names conjures
them into life. Much as we like and
are thrilled by the men and women
who dare and love In the popular
stories Of today, there are none Of
them whom we should recognize as
quickly IL We saw them In the street
As we would Micawber or Mrs. Camp
or Sam Weller or q host of others
created more than half a century ago.
II was the writer's imagination that
made his characters seem giants when
they are placed beside the characters
Of later men. II b this Imagination
now humorous, now terrible, now
simply grotesaue," that Professor
Saintsbury terms "of a quality which
stands entirely BY itself. or II ap-
preached at distance. and with .
difference, only BY that Of his great
French contemporary. Balzac-"

A little child;-the beautifully drawn
character sketch of such q one as the
Divine Master so often chose to hold
up as q model for his followers:-this
is our heroine.
Though not yet fourteen years old.
she could look back on better days
rome by. Then her grandfather was
happy and contented and had often
talked Of her angel mother. She had
walked with him in the fields beyond
the city's noise. and they had there
enjoyed many delightful hours.
Now he has changed. He Is anxious,
worried, and secretive. He often
sends the child on business 10 the
house Of the hateful dwarf. Quilp
He Is away from home every night
returning Just before day, and II
filled with gloom whenever he comes
back. The child cannot compre-
hend the reason for this change.
She tells this to the sympathetic
Mrs. ouilp. while the monster who
has loaned her grandfather money
listens at the door. He has sup
posed the old man to be possessed
Of great secret wealth and to be in
the way OF making much more
money IL only he could be carried
over a temporary emergency. But
the child's statements to his wife
made the dwarf suspicious. He In
vestigated and found that Nelrs
grandfather had taken his loans to
the gaming table and had lost.
Il am no gambler" cried the old
man fierceiy. when accused by
Quilp. Il call Heaven to witness
that I never played for gain Of
mine or love Of play; that at every
piece I staked I whispered that Or
phan's name and called on Heaven
to bless the venture;-which It
never did"
He cried out that his winnings
would have been made from evil
men and would have been spent
on . sinless child. Quilp was un-
moved by his appeals for further
aid. He had a legal hold on the
old mans curiosities and other prop
erty and brought his lawyer to take
possession of the premises. Kit
the servant boy Of Nell's grand
father. had angered Quilp by call
ing him names. and the dwarf took
revenge by telling the old man that
Kit had informed Of the gambling.

Early one morning. before ouilp
and his lawyer awoke. Nell and her
grandfather crept softly out and
left their home forever. They had
visions of fair fields and country
scenes through which they would
journey. The child had learned that
she must be the leader, and he fol-
lowed willingly. She had a little
money, but they must depend upon
charity when that was gone.
Tho first day they made q long
journey and were given q ride by
a kind countrymsn. They stayed
that night at an inn with two Punch
and Judy showmen for whom Nell
had done . bit Of mending. With
them they went to the races the
next day, but Nell became suspi-
cious Of the men and escaped with
her grandfather into the open coun-
try.
Nearly exhausted BY another long
walk, they arrived at . school play
ground. The schooimaster kindly
took them home. and they stayed
there . few days obtaining needed
rest.
Continuing their journey, they next

Interest experience came at this

Her grandfather fell in with some
gamblers and lost nearly all Their
money. She had Q gold coin Of
which he knew nothing. She changed
this In payment for their nights
lodging. but awoke to find her grand
father robbing her purse Of every
coin in order to gamble again. A
short time later Nell heard the gam
biers persuade him to steal from
Mrs. farley. holding out the hope
that he would win much more than
enough to repay her secretly.
Poor Nell was now in absolute ter

told him Of . terrible dream, where

her at once.
