Russia is on short rations in her

a communist. But not primarily be

the warfare, or because of the break
down of transportation. The cities

Russell characterized the Bolshevist
position accurately when he de-
scribed the cities as "encampcd"
within peasant nation. Just how
far is this latent civil warfare of
Russia likely to go? Is it conceiv-
able that this feud between town and
country may some day break out
into open hostilities?
Interesting light on this whole
question is shed by an American cor
respondent, Cameron Mackenzie.

say, is the Russian peasant; upon

Mental Cruelty

Whether mental cruelty is ground
for divorce, as the wife of popular
movie star urges, is matter for the
courts to decide. That it is often
more crushing than physical cruelty
none will deny. The sense of death
is most in apprehension and the tor
ture Of the mind. To lie in restless
ecstasy is worse than mere bodily
pain. That is why the sufferings of
sensitive, highly strung natures are
the keenest. In this particular case
it does not appear that the husband
was guilty of any exceptional in
genuity in making home lie un-
happy. Prosaic domestic difficulties
regarding clothes, automobiles and
Christmas presents seem to make up
the sum of the wife's grievances.
Still, these might have been toler-
ated but for the mental cruelty Of

or any one else, cannot produce the
workaday ability needed to put Rus
sia on her feet. The real man for
the task of Russian rehabilitation he
considers the Russian peasant. What
chance is there Of a peasant upris-
ing. None Immediately; for the
present desire of the peasant is, first
and foremost, to be let alone. He has
got his longedfor land by the simple
expedient of taking it. He has wit
messed the efforts of the communists
to compel Lenine to carry out their
theory in the rural districts, and
he distrusts the Bolshevilli almost
as much as he distrusts Pole.
This illwill developed last fall into
"small but intense and deadly food
battles" between "hungry, fanatical
communist troops on the one side
and determined, frightened, angereo
peasants on the other" The cities
had to have food; Lenine tried to
take it. But, unfortunately, for vari-
Gus reasons, there is hardly any sur
plus of food on the Russian farms
to-day. And the clash was inevita,
bic. AS result there developed
local sovietism, the peasants retort
to government seeking to feed it's
city constituents at the expense of
the peasantry. Perhaps" suggests
Mr.. Mackenzie, ''it is the unreal
soned, cropping protest Of Russia that
its soul is not to be found in the
SCOT of some factory chimney, but
rather in the quiet reaches of some
open, sun-lit and we'll titled field"
Can these local soviets, these
mutual protective associations, ever
be fused into new organization,
under a strong leadership, that will
overthrow the city rule Of Lenine
and set up a government Of the land?
Mr.. Mackenzie does not attempt to
predict. The colossal inertia of the
Russian peasant is all against such
a rebellion. But the fact cf the
struggle between town and country
is real and urgent. The tussle for
the next harvest promises to be Bit
ter. There is a chance of anything,
and only that strangest of human
beings, mingled child Of East and
West, the Russian peasant, can give
the answer.
