In an appeal last night to the
members of the Advertising Club of
Washington to help prevent class
strife in the United States, Charles
Edward Russell, journalist and au-
thor, who was a member of the spe-
ciaI diplomatic mission sent to Rus
sia in 1917, declared the same un-
derlying symptoms that preceded
the economic collapse of Russia are
today among the workers all
around US"
The greatest calamity that could
befall the United States would be
stratification of socity-a divi'
sion into classes" said he.

in many places. That opens the way

Another Lovers Comedy.

Mr., Buckle relates how this lovers'
comedy was repeated with Lady Brad
ford over and over again during the
carly years of the 1874 administration
The septuagenarian with the govern
ance of the empire and the conduct of
the commons on his back, "traversed
in his private life the whole gamut
of half-requited love, passionate de-
votion, rebuff, despair, resignation, re e
newed hope, reconciliation, ecstasy, and
then traVersed it da capo"
We find such expressions in his snow =
storm of letters in 1874 to Lady Brad
ford as: ITO see you, or at least to
hear from you. every day is absolutely
necessary to my existence" Il have
lived to know the twilight Of love, its
splendor and richness" ITO see you
in society is a pleasure peculiar to it,
self, but different from that Of seeing
you alone; both are enchanting, like
moonlight and sunshine" 1T is not
a slice of the moon | want! | want it
all" The latter sprghtly illusions
have reference to the Greek derivation
of Lady Bradford S christian name

So necessary to him was the de-
lightful society of the two persons

deavored to make it permanent, writes
his biographer, "by asking Lady Ches-
terrified to marry him, so that he might

wife and the other as his sister"

sometimes, when in office, sending her
two or even three in one day by spe-
cial messengers from Downing street
or from the treasury bench. Such
messengers, he wrote, may wait at
your house the whole day and are the
slaves of your will"
The fervid nature of his devotion is
made manifest in an epistle to Lady
Bradford three weeks after he became
Urine minister for the second time. She
and Lady Chesterfield were leaving
London for fortnight, and the pros
pect filled Disraeli with anguish:

Atlantic and Pacific Fleets

Pacific coast next January, under plans
now being prepared by naval opera
lions. The great naval spectacle prob
ably will be staged in the vicinity of
the gulf of Panama.

the proposed mobilization Wll in no

effort will be made to concentrate all
of the nations naval strength and only
ships regularly in commission with
trained crews will participate The
exercises and drills will be simple and
mainly of competitive nature. includ-
ing unofficial athletic competitions be-

fleets and of individuals ships. The
main object of the mobilization will be
to give officers and men an opportun-

with Admiral Hugh Rodman, chief OF
the Pacific fleet, second in command.
The maneuvers will be unique in
many respects, chiefly in that they
will afford the first actual mobilization
of the bulk Of the new American navy

more or less scattered and a shortage

During the war the shortage in most
types of small vessels, notably destroy
