TRAVELLERS ARE
 WARNED TO MAKE
 RESERVATIONS

London, Feb. g - Amercans who contemplate coming to England this spring or summer, and Londoners ex- pect there will be thousands of them should be definitely assured before leaving that hotel accommodations have been arranged, say the hotel managers. Otherwise it is probable they may be unable to find a place to stay, particularly in London.
 It will be difficult for London to handle a great influx of people this summer, say the JSauagers, and they expect many dIsappointments among Americans who even attempt to ar- range accommodations some time ahead of arrival The better hotels of the city can not find room for more than 4,000 at one time, they are full now and many people have en- ged rooms months ahead.
 Some Eng1ishmen who have just returned from the United States esti- mate that 1.000,000 Americans will attempt to see England enroute to the battlefelds of France this summer. More conservative observers, however, place the number far below that.

Lenile Is Growing More
 DeSpOtic Day By Day
HATES MEN, WOMEN, EVERYTHING -DISTRUSTS
 EVERY ONE ABOUT HIM

great plan to invade Poland and so get in the rear of the ESths, Let's and Bolshevisn's other enemies in the Baltic Provinces. He took pleasure not only in being against Russia as a whole. but against his own com rades, the Commissaries, and he wonl All this vast power has fallen into his hands merely because he openly hates and despises his fellow crea- | lures; because he believes that not fifty citizens on the face of the earth are fit to rule themselves. This notion appears increasingly in Lenine's arti- cles pamphlets and oral utrerances. 1 In the ''Pravda he lately published an article asking ttHas Democracy in Russia Failed?" and demanding "an intern" Hate stage of competent rule by fit men,"
 In his lecture in the Grand Theatre on the second anniversary of the So- viet Revolution he declared that ''the local Soviets are worthless, corrupt and hopelessly inefficient; and it is doubtful whether they can exist much longer" And his private utterances repeated in whispers by the great of the Moscow Commissary world, ex- press growing distrust and hatred of the world and an overwhelming com IiASllCS III h1hlSSl1 l41C O14S tI1ctI1 who is fit to rule.
 Lenine differs widely from his conrade, Trotzky. Trotzky isf active, lively, optimistic, facile, friendly. "He would cut your throat with a .smile,' g says the anti-Bolshevik Meyerstein, who knew him in the Bronx. Lenine is sour, gloomy, sardonic. He in- dulges gleefully in prophecies of the coming doom of Bolshevism; and he planes the Worthlessness of BoIsheV- ists.
 He has no friends. This is all the more striking because he is most ac- cessible. Other misanthropes shroud themselves in mystery and seclusion. Lenine goes everywhere; he sees every one; he reads public lectures; he appears with his wife at Cubist art shows; he listens while tubercu- 1ous Bloshevik violinists in flame col ored trousers play Mussorgslzy and Seriabine; he talks in soldiers drink ing halls. But he is never good humored. He is sour and snarling. When he talks to soldiers he does not flatter them. He tells them to go and wash their ears; he hints that worthless scum of the earth like they will never save Soviet Russia from her imperialistic foes.
 Lenine's new bill expresses this philosophy of life. The miserable Executive Council, representing the emancipated pro1etariat, is shorn of the immense powers which it ever had-on paper.
 tIn the interests of continuous gov ernment' the Council of Commissar- ies will no longer take orders from the Executive Cabinet.
 Safeguards against Cabinet Autoc- racy will be given to the Executive Council in the shape of the right to interpellate,' adds Lenine's new bill. But nobody worries about the safe guards. The move is toward consoli- dation and constitutional recognition of the Lenine autocracy, and the aim is that Man Hater Lenine shall be able to pursue, undfsturbed by criti. cisn, his vivisection of the prostrate body of the Russian people.

THOMAS d'URFEY's VALUE.

Thomas d'Urfey of England died on this date, in 1723. He was man of sparkling talents, but all of his dramatic pieces and poems are for gotten save one little book called Pills to Purge Melancholy" It de- served to live. The greatest boon granted to an individual is the ability to dispel Melancholy" A sense of Humor is a life-saver. Many a household, upset, would right itself again if husband and wife would consider for an instant how dra- matically they are sparring with their tongues. They need a, referee. They should burst out laughing, and kiss and make up. Blessed be the Laugh-maker, for he shall inherit gratitude! Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep aIone.''

Some Screen Secrets
 Are Now Disclosed

London, Feb. 26-The secret of the smoke screens used with such great success by the British navy in the raids on Ostend and Zeebruggee is definitely disclosed. They were pro duced from an acid, which has to be burned in the presence of a sufficient amount of water vapor, otherwise the smoke produced, even over the sea- is liable to be somewhat thin on a dry day.
 Commander Brock, who sacrificed his life in the assault on the German defences at the Belgian ports devised the plan to feed the acid in a fine spray into the funnel of a destroyer, where the temperature was sufficient to yaporise the acid. and the water vapor present completed the forma- tiou of the cloud.

Berlin, Feb. 26.-Nicholas Lenine Is man-hater, a woman-hater, an everything-hater. That is the basis of his autocracy; and now his auto cracy is to be increased. He has drawn up a bill whereby all the enor- nous powers hitherto given-on pa per-to the BoIshevik Parliament shall be concentrated in his hands alone
 The Soviet Cabinet Council-which is Lenine-wiL henceforth dominate Soviet Russia. Lenine will achieve his aim of proving-as Comrlissary Zinovieff says-that 'Eninety-nine Rus sians out of a hundred are fools and the hundredth is a rogue..'
 Lenine's notions of the art of gov ernment are based on misanthrophy, distrust of everyone and sardonic con- tempt. For over a year he has bee opposing the pseudo democratic no tion that incompetent proIetarians should get their way. This notion, which is really an expression or re- spect for and confidence in humanity is embodied in the admirable-on apprehension Soviet Constitution which contains the greatest paper recognition of democracy ever drawn up. It provides that the peoples representatives shall not only iegisiate but directly rule.
 The Soviet Council of Commis- saries." which is the Cabinet, is sup posed to be a conference of mere senior clerks who take orders from the Parliament; and. to show that this is so, the Parliament bears the title Executive Council"
 Therefore, on paper, Lenine is poor, abject old gentleman who does what he is told by fiery, illliterate, soldiers and incendiary Workmen in the Executive Council.
 In framing this quaint Constitution Bolshevism had an object. "Democ- racy should distrust it's leaders, said August Rebel in 1910. By letting Parliament rule as well as legislate the BolsheYik constitution mongers imagined that they would avoid ''the abuses of European parliamentarian- isrn,'' chief of which was that Eu- ropes wicked Ministers boss Parlia- ments and pull them by the nose. Proletarian Russia was determined not to tolerate that. So Lenfne ere ated his "Executive Council' and vowed that he was it's obedient ser want and miserable slave.
 But from the first Lenine despised HIS EA0CullNe OOuHClI. NOL d SlnSlo law has been passed by the suppos- edly a1l-powerfu1 Executive Council, against the supposedly impotent Coun- cil of Commissaries. Soviet Russia has moved toward autocracy. First, the Council of Commissaries unlaw- fully bossed the Executive Council, and now Lenine bosses the Council of Comnissaries.
 Ienine is always in a minority in the Commissaries Council. But he al ways wins. In July, against all six Commissaries, he pushed through his bill authorizing the Commissary of the Interior to expe1 from office all undesirable local bureaucrats. This was a move toward autocracy.
 In August he overrode a majority in the council on the question of en- trusting the nationalized iron and steel industry to private hands. A week later he overruled Trotzky's
