land would force Russia to break

On the face of 1t, the case may
seem somewhat overstated, may
sound braggadocio. and does, AS
matter of fact, seem rather
exaggerated in view of the wide
spread devastation, poverty and
famine prevailing in the Soviet
republic.

has not any huge and powerful

Quite true. From an American
and western European military
point of view Russia may be re-
garded as of little or no conse-
quence. particularly at this stage
of the game; and yet nothing is
: more likely than that Just this
may turn out to be one more of
those fatal decisions and miscal-
Culauons with which recent his
tory abounds, and which has
made many a powerful war ma
chine head straight for disaster.
A trip across Soviet Russia, UNI

deduction.

business quietly and conducts
himself IN general with calm

The discipline Of the Red army
is severe, and is being enforced
by its chief, Trotzky, with ut
most, unparalleled vigor. Yet
there is among the rank and file
almost no trace of discomfort.
TROTZKY's POSITION.
1t is no longer a secret that
Trotzky's popularity with the Red
army, his ability to keep intact a
powerful war machine under the
dreadful conditions prevailing in
Russia, are due not to the adj
vantageous position the soldier Is
placed in as regards food and
clothes.
In this respect the soldier does
not fare much better than the
civilian. workman or peasant. The
account Of the barefoot company,
1t seems to me, is competent
proof of that.
TrotZky's success as a commits
sary of war is due mainly or
solely to the fact that he thor.
oughly understood the psychology
of the Russian youth and took
full advantage of that under
standing.
A Russian young man, a true
Russian worth his salt, can stand
almost anything except humilia-
ton. He will much sooner take
a blow than an insult. Being of
a highly sensitive nature, he will
resent any slight, any arrogant
remark, much more than bitter
physical privation. Trotzky I'M
derstood all that and from the
very beginning he determined to
stand guard over the human dig
nifty of his "tovarishi," the COM
rades, the rank and file of the
Red army.
Order after order is issued from
the war department severely
furnishing this or that commander
for humiliating his suhordinates.

believe that those unseen ones
about us are even more suscep-
written to say they have failed
because they could not memorize
the pass words" which are
printed with each experiment.
These inquirers have asked If
= they might not read the pass
words as they attempt to per-
form the experiments.
No! You might as well ask If
you could not read your instinc-
tive sense or read your idea of
truth.
Let me be plain about this.
Unless yOu memOrize the four
short sets Of passwords you can
not hope successfully to perform
an experiment in autOspiritism.
These are not trick words.
They do not hypnotic your
senses. They do not drug or
deaden your perception. They
do not create false images in your
mind.
They elevate the mind to
truly reverent plane, that plane
upon which all thought Of those
who dwell beyond the mundane
sphere forever encompasses.
That is why call them pass
words" to the White Shadow
land.
The spirit mirror Is intended
only to prove to you that the
presences which surround you
can make themselves known to
you.
The spirit mirror may not give
you q message-but If it gives
you a sign you may feel your
self well started in the fasci-
mating investigation which may
lead to a development OF actual
mediumship-of the development
OF your own contact to the
extent that messages may be
received. These more than ele-

Regard the mirror.
Regard it carefully and in detail.
There may be no message.
But look for sign.
This is the first time this expert
ment has been made public.
I know Of scores OF cases, how
ever. where this experiment has
been performed just as have told
how.
Sometimes there has been the
outline OF the physical face and

Sometimes there has appeared

So tell no one that you are
about to perform this experiment.
For three or four days you are
to keep occasionally In mind the
identity-not the face and form
but the spiritual identity Of
some one whom you have known
on earth who has passed on into
the White Shadowland. Do not
try to do this consciously. Do
not try to do 1t all the time.
Do not make it an effort. But
think Of some one who has gone

say half dozen times a day.
Then, after three or four days

~ another Russian mobiliza-
- - ton? Is the invasion of
the Ruhr by the French to be a
prelude to as CHASTITY a catas-
trOphe as was the invasion of
Bosnia and Herzegovina by the
Ausnians? Is the Russian giant,
just now struggling to his feet
still dazed from years of mortal
combat, nursing his deep and
bleeding wounds-willing to fight,
and IL so, can he?
An emphatic no must be the
answer to the first of the last
two questions. Yes may be said
in answer to the last query.
Soviet Russia is surely Unwilling
to fight. She is definitely com
mitted TO a policy of peace and
reconstruction. Her two chief
tasks now are: To heal her
wounds, and build upon the ruins
Of the shattered empire.
To this end she is determined
to devote all of the energy, all
Of the vitality, that is still left in
her. Only an open provocative
defiance, one more challenge to
her safety and very life, as an
independent country, can rouse
her to take up arms, and If suf-
ficiently reused Russia can still
fight and fight well.

WONDERFUL CENTURY.
Had the conqueror of small

handful of days later, one would
have been half tempted to muse
upon the possibility of a transmit

sense.
Yet the two brief life,spans of
these kindred spirits cover the
whole history of modern science!
Within that period the worlds
population has doubled, its
wealth quadrupled, the span of
human life been almost multi
piled by three and the death
rate and disease rate cut to the
lowest figure in all history.
Truly wonderful century of
service in which the science of
heahngs has played a yeoman
part both by prevention and by
cure.
The world is at present passing
through the convalescent stage
of an unusually virulent war
fever, and not only is it far from
having recovered its pre-1914
health and sanity. but 1t does
not even seem to have learnt
how to avoid a repetition Of the
maIady.
Here Is where the human body
has more intelligence than the
human race. Most types of con-
tagious- diseases occur but once
in ones lifetime; the body hav-
ing learned how to deal with that
particular microbe, never lets him
get a foothold again, but hurls
forth his advance guards the in
slant they appear. And now,
: thanks to the aid of science, this
strenuous and often rather cx-
penEIVe course IN DacJef1OIOR.c
jiu-jitsu has in some cases been
reduced to a trivial frolic,
wherein the microbe never has a
chance, but which gives our body
police exactly the training re-
quired to rout any serious inva-
eions which may occur later on.

which steadily insisted that he
must first pass an examination In
the classics.
Jenner. following the noble tra.
dition Of his profession. made no
personal profit whatever from his
discovery. and an early attempt
to give him Parliamentary grant
of several Thousand pounds, q
considerable amount In those
days, had failed.
PASTEUR'S BIRTH.
Now, however, that he had be-
come world-famous, the bill was
reintroduced, doubled in amount
and promptly passed. When in
1914 the allied sOyereigns met in
London. Jenner was brought to
the royal court and presented~to
all the various kings. enperors
and dignitaries that were assem-
bled to discuss the terms Of
peace with France.
The rest Of his life he passed
quietly and uneventfully, resting
upon the honors which he had so
richly earned. and on January 26.
1923, he died, almost exactly q
month after the birth Of his scien-
tific successor, Louis Pasteur.
Too often the world only recog.
nizes a genius long after he is
dead; 1T is a pleasure to record
that the two greatest minds of
modern medicine both gained
their reward in their own life
time.
1t Is perhaps difficult for us
moderns to fully realize the ire
mendous and enthusiastic graft
tude with which the world Of the
eighteenth century hailed the dis
covery Of a smallpox preventive,
and this inability is the sincerest
of compliments to the efficiency
Of Jenner's method.
Smallpox has become so rare
that most of us have never even
seen a mild case Of 1t, to say
nothing of a fatal one. For In
stance in the wartime. in the
United States army, of nearly
three million men there were ex-
actly fourteen deaths from small
pox, thirteen of which were in
the home camps. and so presum-
ably from patients who had con-
tracted the disease before they
were drafted.
Had smallpox happened to
come your way before vaccina-
ton, it would have almost surely
seized you, and soaring, blind
ness or death might have been
your lot.
From these grim possibilities
we have been delivered by the
discovery of a Gloucestershire
doctor, made little over a century
ago. 1t is not the fashion 70

nor to defy ordinary mortals
after the fashion of the ancients.
