RUSSIAN SoVIETs.

The sG-called Federation of So
viets is superimposed class rule on
q people in Russia who want to be
democratic. 1t was put into power
by small group of fariatically ex.
IRENE social democrats, the real,
the conscious bolsheviki, under the
leadership of Lenine, and has never
at any time expressed the will of the
people. The soviets, beginning with
the bigger cities, spread over Rus
sia in very few weeks, following
the original revolution. They were
socialists in character in the cities
and in the army, where the socialists
propaganda had been spread, but in
the villages, where the great
masses" of the Russian people live,
there was not much political educa-
ton, and the soviet was simply the
expression of popular will of all
kinds. 1t was The town melting

BY EDWARD w. pickARp.

As was easily foreseen, the Italo-
Fiume war has come to a speedy end
with the collapse of D'Annunzio's re-
sistance. The poet, who had declared
he would interpose his bloody corpse
between the Italian forces and Etume,
thought better of 1t, and on Wednes-
day issued a proclamation saying that
he now felt disposed to defend his life
by all means, since 1t was not worth
while to throw 1t away In the service
of people whom he now despises.
Therefore he was about to leave Fiums
by airplane. The mayor of that city
and its director of national defense
agreed to recognize the treaty of Ra-
PABLO. D'Annunzio consented to re-
lease his legionnaires from their oaths
Of allegiance, and 1t was arranged
that they should be disbanded and that
the italian government should Issue a
proclamation of general amnesty.
There was rejoicing throughout Italy
over the settlement, for the Italians
did not at all like the job of shooting
down their fellow countrymen.
Peace was not attained without
much bloodshed, for the legionnaires
fought desperately and bravely for
several days after General Caviglia's
troops began the real attack. Taking
advantage Of the rough terrain about
the city. they laid many ambuscades
and conducted guerrilla warfare
with hand grenades and machine guns
that cost the lives of many regulars.
In the city they poured hot fire from
the balconies, roofs and windows of
apparently abandoned buildings. and
even the women helped. The Italian
military authorities refused to use ar
tilleiy against the city itself, striving
to save 1t from destruction, but the
warships In the harbor bombarded the
outer defenses. D'Annunzio was
slightly wounded in the head by a
fragment of a shell. The curtain has
now fallen on this latest tragi-comedy
of the warrior poet, who says he In
ashamed of being an Italian.

FROZEN FISH DELICIOUS.

There are excellent reasons why
frozen fish should be generally used
wherever they can be kept frozen
until used. In this process of pres
ervation the fish, fresh from the sea,
is frozen and then dipped in clean
water, which forms an air-tight
coating of ice from head to tail. In
this sanitary envelope the fish is put
in cold storage. In cold weather the
housewife can buy such fish and keep
a supply on hand for weeks or
months if the temperature is below
freezing.
Varieties that are usually frozen
are plentiful and can be sold for a
relatively low price. The consumer
should increase his vocabulary Of
names to include more than the
half-dozen varieties that he now
knows He will earn a high price
per word and will get acquainted
with some of the most delicious food
that comes from the sea.-Westerly
(Mass.) Sun

Old Chinese Burial Places.

Shanghai's old buildings on the Bund
are rapidly disappearing, and with
their destruction many discoveries in
the way of old burial places are be-
ing made. While excavating for a
new building two Chinese graves were
discovered. Upon being opened. the
collins were found to be in a good de-
gree of preservation, considering the
length of time they must have been
lying in the swamp. The Inscriptions
upon the stone tablets marking the
graves are Eligible, so any conjecture
as to their age is almost impnssible.
An urn containing quantity Of bones
was also unearthed.

REDS ON
INCREASE

According to secret Information re-
ceiyed by the French foreign office,
the Russian Reds not only are threat
ening TO Overrun and absorb Armenia,
Georgia and Azerbaijan, but also are
preparing for another attack on Pc
land and the Baltic states, and DOS
sibly on Roumania. In the hinsk re-
glon soviet troops are being concen-
trated in large numbers. threatening
especially Lithuania and Poland; and
farther north about $1,000 Of them
were said to have crossed the Latvian
frontier and occupied several towns.
Esthonia, too, was alarmed by the
presence Of large bodies Of Red cav
airy on her borders. Negotiations for
permanent peace between Poland and
Russia were broken off by the soviet
representatives, who said In effect that
the Red victories elsewhere made the
treaty unnecessary to them. In Podo-
lila the Russians are gathering heavy
forces to compel Roumania to evacu-
ate Bessarabia. The lakes and
marshes are frozen over and cam
paigning will be possible until March.
Meanwhile all efforts of the soviet
authorities to arrange for resumption
of trade seem to have fallen fat, owing
partly to their impudent bad faith In
trade matters and partly to their fail
ure to stop spreading their propaganda
in other countries. The United States
government decided that Martens, the
soviet envoy should be deported,
and Moscow advised him to abandon
his work here and submit. Most of
the nations are now coming to the
view that bolshevism In Russia will
die out before long if left to itself, and
are proceeding on that theory. Evil
dence that the bolshevist leaders
themselves are changing their policy
lies In the fact that they are now
granting many concessions to foreign
ers, which is absolutely contrary to
bolshevist principles. In addressing
the soviet congress In Moscow Lenine
explained that this was temporary
necessity, as the country must have
materials for its economic rebuilding.
Information received by our state de-
partment Is that the bourgeoisie are
more numerous than ever In Russia
and are gradually regaining control,
and that the tendency is toward the
formation of an autocratic govern
ment.

Woman "spi..eo the Beans"

Less than a century ago a German
pro essor of chemistry succeeded re-
peatedly in producing small quantities
of gold, which he exhibited to fellow
scientists whose keen interest may
we'll be imagined. 1t was later ascer-
tanned that devoted servant, anxious
to give his master pleasure, had
bought gold leaf and surreptitiously
contributed it to the contents of the
crucihle. One one occasion, however,
the servant was sent on a distant err
rand, and left money with his wife
for the purchase of the requisite gold
leaf. She spent the money for drink,
buying instead some dutch metal"
which she put into the pot. This led
to a discovery of the fraud, prompt
revelation of which by the professor
gave rise to immense amusement.

DISEASES THAT CAUSE DEATH
Statistics Show Some Common All
ments Decreasing, While Others
Appear to Be GaiIng Fast

The bureau of census in the de-
partment of commerce at Washing
ton has just made preliminary an
nouneement of the death statistics
for the United States in the year
1916.
They cover the 70 per cent Of
American people who are registered
and show some encouraging and
come discouraging figures.
Heart disease is increasing, but tu-
berculosis is falling off somewhat.
Pneumonia is decreasing, but
Bright's disease and cancer are gain
ing fast. Apoplexy is increasing
also.
Death from accidents is making
rapid gains, the increase in automo-
bile accidents being especially note
worthy.
The three most common killers of
mankind are heart disease, tubercu-
losis and pneumonia, nearly one
third Of all deaths being charged to
these ailments.
During 1916 there were 1,oo0,921
deaths, of which another third were
occasioned by the following group
Of diseases: BrighPs disease and ne
phrirrs, cancer, apoplexy, diarrhea
and enteritis, influenza, arterial dis
eases, diabetes, diphtheria and ty-
phoid fever.

Germany Still
SuIking

Relations between France and Ger
many reached another critical stage at
the end of the week, when Berlin,
through the undersecretary for foreign
affairs, warned the British and Italian
ambassadors that it would be impos-

ference on reparations Mt Brussels

to complete her rehabilitation by
January /, and If this is not done, as
her intention appears to be at this
writing, France will have the right to
occupy the Ruhr district or Frankfort.
Plans for the necessary military opera
tons already have been drawn up by
Marshal Foch and General Weygand
The report of General Nollet, the
French chief of the interallied COM

what precipitated the matter He told
the council of ambassadors In Paris
that the civil militia was real mill

such warm language that the ambas-

PHANTOM GAVE GOOD ADVICE
ApparItlon That Appeared to French
Shepherd Was Possibly Some Re-
:ation to the Leprechaun.

Every Irishman can tell you about
the Leprechaun, the little man who
dresses In red with peaked cap, and
lives in the bitches. Only one person
can see him at time, and if he does
catch sight of him, must never take
his eyes off for single moment.
Watching him carefully, he must run
and catch him, and If he succeeds in
doing SO the Leprechaun will ransom
himself by leading his captor to a
creek Of buried gold At least, so runs
the legend.
Some years ago French shepherd
Of Aveyron lost two sheep. The fol-
lowing evening figure in black robe
and with tonsured head appeared to
him, and told him to look for the lost
members of his flock in cave near
Altes, adding that he would there fino
more than sheep"
The next day the shepherd found
the cave mouth exactly as described,
Inside were his two sheep. Beyond,
he came upon a chapel carved in the
rock and containing chaiices, censers,
and candle-sticks all made of solid
silver, and of very considerable value.
A letter found in missal showed that
the place had been used as a place of
worship during the Reign of Terror In
1893 The shepherd took the orna.
ments to his parish priest and was
well rewarded for his find.
How Chinese Use Peach Stones.
Women and children are to be seen
In the markets Of China picking up
peach stones, which are put to several
uses. Broken into pieces and dried
In the sun, they furnish excellent ma
terial for fuel.
Another profitable use of the peach
stone is made by artists and engrav-
ers, who carve them into different
forms of animals. Some of the larger
stones, If round enough, are carved
into finger rings. During the season
one may see in the interior of South
China yards Of poor people full of
peach stones drying in the sun. After
being cleaned, the small stones are
used for fuel. groups Of small boys
picking out the larger ones.
The kernels are sometimes sold to
chemists and druggists. They are
preserved in bottles and used as
cough medicine after the kernels are
turned into white powder. This
white powder is very popular, con-
venient and cheap medicine for poor
people in many villages as a remedy
for coughs.

The great war might be traced
back to Nobels cut finger. Alfred
Nobel was a Swedish chemist
pacifst. One day while working
in the laboratory he cut his finger,

again as chemists are apt to do, he
dissolved some guncotton in ether

At this point, however, his conduct
DIVORCES from The ordinary, for in
stead of standing idle, impatiently
waving his hand in the air to dry
the film, as most people, including
chemists, are apt to do, he put his
mind on it and it occurred to him
that this sticky stuff, slowly harden
ing to an elastic mass, might be Just
he thing he was hunting as an alb
sorbent and solidifer of nitroglyc-
erin. So instead of throwing away
the extra collodion that be had made
he mixed it with nitroglycerin and
found that it set to a jelly.
