Madam Alexandre KoIIonty,
One of Revolution Leaders,
in Portland in 1915.
YOUNG WOMAN BRILLIANT
Exponent of Scientific Socialism,
Imprisoned Several Times, Now
Bis Aid to Bolsheviki, Who
Are In Control.
JTadame Alexandre Kollonty, Joan of
Arc of the Russian revolution which
haa overturned Kerensky and his tem
porary power, with the result that the
Bolsheviki now sit in the saddle. Is
known in Portland, where she visited 18
months ago.
Many of the radical group here. In
cluding Russians who have been exiled
from their own country, know Madame
Kollonty and describe her as a brilliant
woman and a natural leader..
She Rave three lectures in Arion Hall.
As a student of scientific Socialism, it
is. said she ranks high, but it was felt
here by some of the party workers that
ehe was radical. With her experience
in Russia and the fights she had been
in there, it is said she is naturally
more extreme than others of the Social
istic faith who have not participated
In such agitation nor have suffered for
the cause as she has.
Woman Arretted Mny Timfi.
Madame Kollonty is 26 years old, vig-
erous and attractive. She was arrest
ed by" order of the Czar when she re
turned to Russia after her visit in
Portland. She was held in a fortress
near Moscow, but was released when
the revolution came and Kerensky came
Into control.
Not long afterward she was arrested
again by order of the Kerensky govern
ment for agitation of the Bolsheviki
principles and again was held until the
latest turn of the wheel that brought
that party to the top.
She has become inured to arrest and
Imprisonment, however, because of her
political faith. She was a mere slip
of a girl in 1905 when the revolution
broke outj She was arrested then and
thrust into prison, but managed later to
escape.
H. M. Wicks, secretary of the Port
land Socialist party, who is a lecturer
on principles of Socialism and who is
giving a series of lectures in Arion
Hall this Winter, met Madame Kollonty
"While she was in this country and he
also worked, with Leon Trotzsky in
Detroit and Chicago. He met Nikolai
Lenine in the Ka.st. He said Lenine
formerly worked in a foundry in Buf
falo or Rochester, N. Y.
Ilolnhevikl Principles Explained.
"The principles of the Bolsheviki are
simply those of Socialism as expounded
by Karl Marx," said Mr. Wick. "Leib
knecht in Germany is of the same faith.
But Leibknecht is called pro-ally in his
own country and the Bolsheviki are de
nominated pro-German. Such a classi
fication simply proceeds from ignor
ance. 'The only parallel in history to the
present rule of the Bolsheviki in Rus
sia is the Paris Commune, when the
Communists controlled -Paris for two
month.:... ..... ..... . -v -
"The Bolsheviki have everything in
their hands now. They will rule in
Russia. The only possible way they
can be crushed is for peace to be made
between Germany and the allies and
for them to unite against Russia, much
the same procedure that followed the
rule of the Commune in Paris.
"While it is true the Bolsheviki ap
pear to control only Petrograd as yet,
it must be remembered that Petrograd
Is Russia, Just as Paris is France.
Revolutionists Not I. XV. W.
"It is unsound to say that the Bol
sheviki, founded on the economic prin
ciples of Karl Marx, a German, are
pro-German, because Marx was exiled
from Germany and made a fugitive in
all Kurope. He at length completed his
work in London, and it was due more
to him than to any other one man,
probably, that England was dissuaded
from joining with the Confederacy
against the North in our Civil War.
"With Trotzsky, Lenine and Madame
Kollonty as leaders, the latest Russian
revolution is in safe hands. The Bol
sheviki should not be confused with
the I. W. W. group. Neither of the
three mentioned are of that cult, which
is more the syndicalist movement.
Neither Madame Kollonty nor the others
are in sympathy with the I. W. W.
"Peace in Europe alone, and the
agreement of the warring nations to
make war on the Bolsheviki, appears
to me to be the only way they can be
unseated."

Each of 205 Stars Accounts tor Grad
uate or Student of School Now
Serving His Country.
High above the stage In the Wash
ington High School auditorium, sharing-
the place of honor with the Stars
and Stripes, hangs one of the school's
proudest possessions. It is a gigantic
service flag, a monument to graduates
and students who are with the colors.
The flag was presented to the school
by the Uirls- League of Washington
High School. The service flag and the
national ensign are of the same size,
nine feet wide and 18 feet long. The
school's patriotism is exemplified in
the galaxy of stars contained in the
white field within the red border.
Bach of the 205 stars accounts for a
former Washington High School stu
dent who is now serving his country.
Space for more stars is allotted, and
they will be added as enlistments
occur. .
Washington High School has lost a
great many boys who were leaders in
school activities. Last season's foot
ball stars, who were being counted
upon to make a good showing tor
Washington this year, are nearly all
in uniform. The school, however,
cheerfully accepts defeats In sports in
the knowledge that its war service rec
ord is unbeaten.
Public Library Notes.
A man, with "Mr. Britling Sees It
Through" under his arm sauntered up
to the entrance of the branch library.
His watch told him that it still lacked
the hour of opening, but, with the
cheerful optimism of the public that a
branch library may be open any hour
of the day or night, he cautiously tried
the door. It gave to his hand and,
optimism for once rewarded, he stepped
in. But just inside he stopped, puzzled.
The scene before him was not one that
fitted into his ideas of library at
mosphere, particularly at that time of
day. Around several tables boys and
girls were clustered, each one bent eag
erly over a small drawer of cards. Some
of them were turning over the cards,
puckers of concentration on their
brows; some kept only one eye on a
special card and the other on a paper
on which they were writing, tongues
In cheeks with the effort of faithful
transcription; others were waving
hands in air for help. The librarian,
instead of being in her proper place be
hind the desk, ready to "stamp off Mr.
Britling, was hurrying from one child
to the other, encouraging, answering
and rebuking:
"Good, that's fine. Kow, see If you
can find the book on the shelves.
"What are you looking for, Mary? Sel
ma Lagerdorf? In the Ss? Now, think
for a minute. If you were looking up
George Washington, would you look for
'George' or "Washington 7" "
"Jimmy, you know you waste your
time when you don't watch your guide
cards. Does 'Defoe' come before or
after "Daskam"?"
"Yes, Clifford, It's very nice that you
know that Dickens wrote David Copper
field, but we want to see if you could
find the author from the catalogue if
you didn't know." -
Just then she caught sight of the man
at the door and hurried up to him. "We
are having a class from the school," she
explained. "It is not quite 2 o'clock
yet. Won't you sit down and wait?"
A girl skipped up, waving a book in
one hand and her paper in the other.
"I've found it," she announced excited
ly, "see, the very same number that was
on the card!"
A few minutes later the youngsters
formed two lines with" a practiced air
and marched out the door, one boy lag
ging to plead: "Say, Miss , won't
you save this book, so I can get it after
school? I bet It's swell."
"Well." the man commented, "the kids
have it some different from when I
went to school. We had to sit still on
hard benches and dig things out the
best we could."
a
At each of the 16 branch libraries of
Portland these classes from the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades have been
assembling during the past few weeks
to be Initiated into the mysteries of the
card, catalogue. They learn to ascer
tain whether the library has on Its
shelves a book of certain, title, how.
many it has of the works of a certain
author, and what material it has in
books or pamphlets on a given subject.
They learn, too, how to find these books
readily on the shelves from the cata
logue number.
It is only during the past year that
the branch libraries have been equipped
with their own catalogues. With their
help the library patrons are coming to
feel more and more at home and to be
Independent users of the books.
The University Park branch library
has moved into roomier and more pleas
ant quarters at 800 Lombard street,
near the Portsmouth corner.

subject of county government will wish

On the Award- for Tone Qua
on Phonographs
lity
THERE' has b?en so much question and
discussion raised on the subject of the
award for Tone Quality at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition, that we
deem it advisable to finally disclose to the
public the information forming the basis upon
which we have made the claim that the Sonora
received the Highest Score for Tone Quality
and proving conclusively that any claims to
the contrary by others are totally misleading.
As will be. seen by. the official letter herein
printed, any such awards as Grand Prizes,
Gold Medals, etc., were based on other con
siderations and not on Tone.
It will be readily appreciated that, no mat
ter what any subsequent Board of Directors
may have decided, the very fact that The Only
Jury Which Heard and Tested All the Phono
graphs at the Exposition Recommended That
the Sonora Be Given the Highest Markings
for Tone Quality, is sufficient and convincing
evidence that any other opinion by a subse
quent Board of Directors That Never Heard
the Machines, must be considered irrelevant
and immaterial and decidedly unmeritorious.
- It might be of Interest also to call attention to the
fact, that of the jurors whose letters we reprint
herein the follpwing are professional musicians:

ter "Mr. Westover states: "Wi have
purchased eight head of pure-bred
heifers from one breeder at White
water, Wis., and these are certainly
wonders. They are all large, growth y
animals, with great strength of con
stitution, and have especially good
udders. They are all daughters of one
bull. The breeder from whom we pur
chased these animals has 35 of this
bull's daughters on test that are going
at the rate of 450 to 700 pounds butter
fat at 2 and 3 years old. This bull's
dam has a record of 645 pounds of fat
aa a 2-year-old.
"The eight heifers that we have pur
cbased. are heavy la calf to a bull
whose dam and grranddam have a year
ly record of S87.5 pounds of butterfat
each. This bull, while yet young, is
getting some mighty fine calves all
straight individuals, showing lots of
quality, and are especially uniform in
conformation."
