Babushka came forward and shook bands with me. "Tou look Ilka an American." she s.tld. "Now. did you come all the way from America to see what we're doing with our revolution?" We ska I down on the couch and Ha b ishka went on talk Ins: about America, of which she seamed particularly fond. Jibe mentioned many well-known writers here and railed them "her children." I satd.

The Impression of the grief of the people had entered so deeply Into my child's soul that It did not leave me during the whole of my lire. Very pathetic Indeed was ner ae- srrlntion of what It waa like to n tree. Thla feeling she never knew until the newa of tbe revolution waa brought to her. The longer the war laatea tne more terrible were lis cviisvuuoio.'-. the brighter were the basenesses of the government. The cleaner was the anavoldahleneas of the democracies ui 11 countrlea getting conscious, tne nearer waa also our rtvgiuimn. . Belle Klaa In Kreeetosn. I waa waiting for the ringing of tha bells, announcing freedom, and I was wonderiiier whv the bells made me watt. And yet when In November last, bursts of Indignation took place, wben angry shouts were being transmitted from one group of tbe population to other, I waa standing already, with one foot in tbe Siberian sledge and waa sorry that the V.' inter road waa fast getting spoiled. On March 4 a telegram reached me In Menus. nak announcing my liberty. The same day I waa already on my way o Achinsk, the nearest railway atatlon. From Achinsk began my uninterrupted contact with soldiers, peasants, work men, railway employes, students and numbers of women all so dear to me." Babushka believed that the constitu ent assembly would meet and form a government, and that Kerensky ought be first President. the Intended to tour Itussta In a sort of presidential campaign. Of course I wanted to go along. There are always a lot of people around Ba bushka, so she told me to come down early In the morning and we would have a private talk together. I got here early and we walked up and down he corridor. I remember the first thing he said was: "if anything terrible hap pens to my country It will not be the fault of the working people, but of the reactionaries." t'eaater Revel etlew Feared. She raid sbe was afraid of a serious counter-revolution, but she didn't seem to know bow or when It would come. I told her I had come for two rea sons: first. 1 wanted to tour tne coun ty with her. and. second. I wanted to meet Kerensky. She stopped short and looked at me. 'You're very brave." she said. 'So were you." I answered, "when you smugaled bombs acrora the country." . Babushka laughed merrily. "That's right." she said. "Well, we'll see what we can do. Now, about the tour. I won't have room in my wagon. Will yon get another wagon?" She also depicted the hardships of this trip which I believed, with some logic, that I could stand aa well as Babushka, for she Is really very frail and much older than her years. At the end of our talk ebe gave me & note and sent a girl along with me to see Keren sky. nidi Lady la Fergrvfal. Rabushka Is really an old lady and very forgetful. Often she forgot In the afternoon what she had said In the morning. I once spent a most amusing day In the Winter Palace, accomplish ing none of the things I set out to ac complish. I bad had an appointment with her at 10. At lt she waa asleep. At ll:3n I went in and we began to talk. Kive minutes later three French officers came to pay their respects. Babushka said they would stay but a moment. They stayed two hours. At o'clock Babushka came In and waa amaied to see me. We went back la her room, where she took all her mal. and had tea and black bread. I wlsb some of the people who wrote those stories about Babushka's extrav agant existence could bare seen her as I saw her then. She has gray, short hair and always wears peasant's clothes. Everything about her la simple and un assuming. At the pre-Parllament which met In the Petrourad city Puma building the latter part or September, and where there were such violent political fights, babushka suddenly appeared and scold ed the politicians as if they were a lot of children. It was 2 o'clock In the morning, the usual time for all meet- tnss In Russia to be at tbeir height. Babashka Seolda Pelltlelawa. At one time during the session such pandemonium reigned that a violent discussion between Tsheidse and Trot sky ended because neither one could hear what the other was aaytng. In the lull that followed Babushka re buked the asaembly. ssrlng they had come together to save Kuesta and not a single step had been taken. She had a plan for educational work In Russia that received the approval of President Wilson, but which tbe soldiers and peasants somehow did not comprehend, and a sad misunderstand ing occurred. This pronably led to all tbe rumors about Babushka having been imprisoned alter the Bolshevik! came Into power. Just as they said that Kro- potkln and other old revolutionists were mistreated. As a matter of fart, none ot these people were even threatened with harm. Babushka lives quietly at the present time in Moscow, with friends. The Bolshevik! government turned the Win ter palace Into what they call The Peoples Museum." No officials live there and It Is not a government ornce. Babushka commands great respect, but la the Intensity of the moment she haa. quite naturally, dropped out of active life. (Continued Tomorrow.) Phone your want ada to The Orsgo- nUo. Main 7070.

Ottomans Wit Assistance! f Germaat Masters Try to Cnt Railway and Capture Port of Jaffa. LONDON, April 13. The Turkish and German forces in Palesttns on Wednes day opened an offensive, attacking the British front- near the coast, the War Office announces. The statement follows: "On the morning- of April 10. after a short bombardment, tho enomy as )60c 220 $1.00 50c Robertine.. .430 50c Daggett & Rams-JO-. dell's Cold Cream rOC Elite Cloth Cleaning Pad.. 100 50c Imperial Florida OP Water, three for DXes-tl 50c Cucumber and Elderflower Cream, 3 for $1.25 $1.00 S2.00 Always S- sumed the offensive against the coastal sector of our front." "Turco-German troops who penetrat ed our advanced posts in the direction of Berukln and El Mefr were ejected by counter attacks. Our lines were advanced at several points. Substan tial losses were inflicted on tbe ene my and a few prisoners, both Turks atid Germans, were taken. On April 11 a Turkish attack directed against our positions on the east bank of the Jordan in the vicinity of El Ghoriniyeh, broke down with heavy losses under our artillery fire. Our mounted troops pursued the retreating enemy within a short distance of SSunat, Nimrim. "An attack directed against our po sitions astride the Jericho Nablus Rail road on the river Jordan also was re pulsed." In both Palestine and Mesopotamia the British have been carrying on suc cessful campaigns for several months and have accomplished the destruction of two Turkish armies. The situation became such a desper ate one for tho Turks that the Ger mans sent troops to their assistance. Last week for the first time the Ger man War Office referred in the war report to Palestine. Another indication that the Germans were planning offen sive operations on that front was the statement a few days ago by Lieutenant-Genera! von Ardenne, a German military writer, that the tide was about to turn in Syria and Palestine and that the recapture of Jerusalem had become a possibility. The British front extends across Palestine from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River, passing about 1 miles north of Jerusalem. Along the Mediterranean, where the Turko-Ger- man attack is being made, the British have pushed some distance north of the port of Jaffa, which is important because it serves as a base for the Brit ish sea communications, and also Is connected by railroad with Jerusalem. The capture of Jaffa and tbe cutting of the railway line probably are the immediate objectives of the enemy. OLD INJURY PROVES FATAL C. W. Hodges, With Back Broken Two Tears Ago, Dies at Eugene.
