Author of The Russian Revolution.

Author of The Russian ReVolutlon.
IT WAS o'clock in the morning
of January 10, 1918. Snowclad
Petrograd was awake, with armed
pickets warming tn mSelVes
around bonfires lit in the streets.
In the Taurida Palace the Inflated
child of a century of pain, the newly
born Constituent Assembly OF Russia,
was holding its first and last session.
It was an ordinary Winter night, but
the air was laden with the concen-
trated poignancy of a millennium OF
darkness.
Inside the chamber Red laughter
reigned. Soldiers and sailors, the
sons of the revolution, fixing their
bayonets and lingering their triggers,
were mocking the fathers and heroes
of the revolution assembled there.
Hand grenades were piled and rifles
we're stacked along the sides OF the
senli-circular hall. Every now ana
then a boisterous Red Guard would
lift his gun and take aim at one OF
the heads on the tribune. Occasion
ally threats and imprecations would
ring out over the din in the hall.
To the accompaniment OF these
demonstrations, short. broad-shoul-
dered man with high Mongoloid
cheekbones, deep-set eyes, wearing the
uniform of an army officer, resolutely
mounted the speakers platform. BY
this time the fate of the Constituent
Assembly. elected by universal and
secret ballot, had been sealed oy
Lenin. who. during the preceding III
weeks of power, had been forging his
bolshevist dictatorship.
Triumph Through Democracy.
"The Russian revolution will tri-
umph in it's foreign as well as In lts
domestic policies only through democ-
rscy. only through the Constituent
Assembly, or it will not triumph az
all" was the challenge flung at the
sneering soldiers and sailors py tne
fearless army officer. The speaker
was Alexander Antonovich Troyanov-
sky, who now has come to America
az the first Soviet Ambassador to the
United States. ,
There was but one hour OF life LETT
to the august, but impotent, assembly
of the representatives OF Ill Gile pCo
pie of Russia. But Troyanovsky olo
not hesitate to go on record with MS
remarkable prophecy. They VINO
sincerely talk about the necessity OF
beginning to build at once the king
dom of Socialism are blind"-he ad-
dressed himself to Lenin, although ne
knew that Lenin, accompanied Dy
Stain and the majority Of the hostile
bolshevist delegates, had left the
chamber. Among these dangerous op-
ponents, strangely enough, was the
speakers own wife, Elena Rozmiro-
vich.
Trotsky was in Brest-Ltovsk. nego-
tiating a separate peace with the
Kaiser's ENJOYS. Troyanovsky now
turned his fire upon him. AS for the
bolshevist aim to light world revo-
luton. he declared, it had already
struck a dead wall in German i'm
perialism, with which Trotsky was
compelled to compromise. Troyanov-

derstood by reviewing briefly the basic
factors of the problem Of the Pacific
In this great ocean four world powers
are vitally concerned-the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and Rus
sia. The interests of the United States
are due not only to the long Pacific
Coast line, but also to the possession
of the Philippines and to America s
participation in the China trade. Brit

New Zealand on the one hand. and by

Japan's interests in the Pacific are
determined by her geographical posi-

U. S. Navy Plans to Move
Big Oahu Radio Station

HONOLULU.-Near1y a million dol
lars will be spent by the Navy De-
partment to relocate its highpower
radio station on Oahu. The station
is now located in the Pearl Harbor
Naval Reservation. This is felt to be
rather too exposed q position as it is
at virtually sea level and not far from
the open sea, hence might be open
to gunfire or air bombing. So 1t Is
proposed to remove the station to the
high lands Of Leilehua, an interior
portion of the islands where some
5000 acres are in the Fort Schoheld
military reservation. An allotment Of
$3.50, 900 has been made for this work.
The Pearl Harbor station was
opened in 1917, but has been consid-
erably modernized since then. There
are three huge steel towers each 602
feet high, forming a triangle. The
station is operated by remote control
from Wailupe, nearly Is miles dis
tant. The station, which Is one Of
the largest Of its kind In the world.

the outstanding characteristic Of Troy

of the process of slow adaptation OF
Bolshevism to capitalism and vice

adopted the customary aliases, passing
most of the time under the names OF
Gaidamovich and Sergei.
There are not many high Soviet

In a little apartment on the left
bank. within a couple of blocks of the
Boulevard St. Michel, at II Rue du
Val de Grace, Troyanovsky, under the
name of Gaidamovich maintained q
conspirative link between Lenin, who
then lived in Paris, and the Bolshevist
organization in Russia, of which Sta

Lenin's circle. When Lenin moved
to Krakow the Troyanovskys went to
the neighboring Vienna. 1t was here

visited Austria for couple Of months
Chess and politics were the ties which
knit Lenin, Stain and Troyanovsky
together. They all participated In the
historic secret conference held in De-
cember. 1912, at Krakow, which was
attended by several OF the Bolshevist
members of the Duma. among whom
was Malinovsky. later exposed as an
agent of the Okhrana.
After the conference Stain went
on to Vienna, where he enjoyed the
hospitality Of the Troyanovskys. One
of the burning questions Of the time
was the establishment of the Bolshe-
visit monthly magazine, Prosvechenye
This led to a friendship between
Troyanovsky and Maxim Gorky.

Gorky on January 81, 1918. "is Troy

He and his wife have taken up ener-

wad of money, and we hope that,
thanks to their energy and help, it
will be possible to establish the Marx

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 4.-Tommy

tournament teed off for the final
thirty-six holes.
Armour'S steady play in the two
eighteen-hole qualifying rounds-he
turned in cards of SO and 73 for an
aggregate of 142-made him the ia
vorite. He won the title in 1927
and again in 1881 a few months
after he won the British open.
The collapse of Leo Diegel, Ger
mantown Pa0 pro, gave Armour
the lead. Diegel, who shot a rec
ord breaking 65 in the first qualifying
round, cracked on the second and
took an 81, twelve over par, or to-
tai of lat and a tie for fourth place.
