at Smolny that one of the officials was
very ill and I came back Into town
with a Bolshevik leader who la now
very close to Trotsky and had worked
with him on a paper In America. We
went stralsht to the Hotel Europe,
where the American Rod Cross had its
headquarters, in search of a, F.ed Cross
doctor.
As w walked thronrh the lobby I
was surprised to see one of Kerensky's
ailes standing In a corner with his
arms folded and looklnc tragically
tunny. He had loafed a lot In Babuah
ka a room at tha Winter Palace and I
had known him quite well. He had in
vited ma to spend a month with his
people In th Caucasus.

rather dudlfled and a little too immac

ceptionally handsome with his dark
eye and olive skin that you had to for
give him his overfastidlousnesa.

Today. keicr, he waa a chanced
man. Ho wore a coat too small and
trousers too larr. and hla waxed,
pointed mustache was ail frayed at the
rnrtK. He had on the most amazingly
tattered cap. I almost burnt out laugh
ing. It was so Bus. Ian for him to do it
that wsy. Juat becauea he waa in die
sruiee. in hiding, he would put on a
make-up that-would point him out to
every one like a conventional villain.
It aas with great difficulty that I
stared right through him and paaaed
on.
My Bolshevik friend and I climbed
the wide stairs and walked along the

silence him by wlnka and other under

what waa wrong-. He waa lonesome and
glad to see a friend and that la all he
tnoucht about. He blurted out all sorts
of siartttnir Information. "Kerensky

said, feeling awfully responsible for the
stIous trouble he wss getting himself
Into. Hut he mie understood me entirely
and replied soothingly. "Now don't you
worry, no one la going to hurt you."
We did not escape trom htm until he
had told ns every idea he bad of what
ought to be done, and It never occurrea
to him to Inquire the politics of my
companion.
-What ar you rolnc to do." I asked
my friend from r"molny. when we were
cut on the street again.
Salvias: Bee-las la Street.
"Have him arrested." he answered
shortlv. So we entered Into a long ar
gument. 1 malntalued that he waa of
to importance, anyway, and ought to be
treated like the aristocrats who were
living In peace all over the city. There
was tha Grand Duke Constantlne'a fam-
ilv. for example, who lived in the
Marble Palace built br the old Duke
They occupied the top floor, while all
the rest of the building is used by the
bureau of labor.
We were not able to finish the ar-
srument. because as we turned the cor
ner of Gosol street and St. Isaacs
square sniping began from rooftops. A
man walking In front of the German
:uibasay suddenly dropped down dead
shot by the bullet of an uuknown
enemy. Cronstadt sailors, on guard at
the Astoria Hotel, came rushing down
the street to locate the offender, shout
ing "rrovacatla'" J'eople were always
beins killed In those first days by
snipers Just to start riots, and It' was
eaey enouah to place tbe blame.
We could hear firing going on about
a block away. Tbe Junkers had taken
the telephone exchange on the alors
kaya and the Hotshevial had surround
ed them. I'ullets began to fly too
generously for comfort. We hid In a
courtyard behind the Angletieire Hotel
and through the chinks In the fence
we watched tbe ridiculous, padded Rus
sian cabmen Ishvishchtcks who usu
ally amble along like snails, whipping
up their horses and rapidly clearing the
square.

As soon as It became quieter we
started back to Gogol street. At the
corner wa saw an armored car coming

against a closed archway that had
great Iron doors securely locked. We

depreciation of the German- nation's
youth under tbe prolonged war strain
shows In many ways. In 114 flaming
patriotism, war enthusiasm, ZO.Ouu
schoolboys volunteering for front ser
vice: evea la 11S Juvenile enthusiasm
for the super Boy Scout companies, for
military preparation, for patrlotto gold
collecting, bone collecting, war loan
soliciting and what not.
In 11. according to a German peda
gogue, "there la everywhere complaint
regarding th alnking of Juvenile en
thusiasm for tbe military preparation
of the youth; collecting la done much
mora for th pecuniary reward than
from patriotic motives: the older school
boys have their Inner struggles be
en bop of leaving school with In
completed atudlas and fear of having
to fight for the fatherland; In those
social layers which are lesa hemmed
In by tradition, education and disci
pline. Increasing violation of tha law,
at first merely crimes against property,
then more and more tending to deeds
of violence: thus fall deep shadows
over the luminous picture of 114."
Juvenile criminality la Berlin la esti
mated to have Increased threefold to
day over 114; still, only a small per
oentage of th youth of th whole na
tion, but aeverthelees an alarming
problem for a society atlll sound ar the
core, and wanting to keep so, war or
no war.
Great Days fer Few TexlcaVe.
An outward and visible sign of graft
la Germany Is the Berlin chauffeur,
vintage 191. The competition for the
few surviving taxicaba In Berlin Is so
great that tbe chauffeurs can name knd
obtain their own figures. Particularly
In the still existing night life centers
yon can aea columns of taxis, all wijh

ters showing suma of 20, SS and 10
marks. -

plus a tip of SO or SO marks, plus the
legal tariff for destination. Nor are the
drivers of those lean survivor horse
caba behind their bensol brethren In the
fine art of applied grafting. In general
paper money works miracles in Ger
many never mora so than today.
Blaeksaall la Isgeataaa.
Pood and eeonomlo pressure have
bred Ingenious forms of blackmail on
an unprecedented scale. Illicit traf
fickers In food have been known to hold
up old or new customers for higher
pricea by a gentle threat to expose
them to the authorities, this even
where the customer baa been a muni
cipality. Employes bring gentle black-
mall pressure on employers by threat
ening to expose their violations of the
and employers In turn can and do
blackmail employes by threatening to
revoke their reclamation or otherwise
call th attention of the military au
thorities to the fact that recalcitrant
employes are eligible and fit for mili
tary or civilian auxiliary service.
Geed Haas- la Gone.
Symptomatic of war's Increasing
wear and tear, perhaps less of moral
depreciation than of nerve attrition un
dr prolonged food scantiness and eco
nomic pressure, with no certain end in
sight, la th marked tendency to brawl,
to start a "rough house," to quarrel vio
lently on slightest provocations, to be
emotionally explosive and "go off" over
trifles, so too there Is frequent lament
and complaints over, increasing lack of
courtesy and allied virtues, this par
ticularly In Berlin. The "bledere" Ber
llnera. once soul of good nature and
racy, tart humor, have become of bear
biting dispositions, snappy, quick-tempered,
quick to wrath over next to
nothing. World war neurologists are
Justified In diagnosing it as nerve-
strain, tending toward national neu
rasthenia: though the Germans still
have nerves of iron, if they do give
way occasionally.
Unwonted, symptomatic scenes re
sult, such as the scandaloua "battle"
between crippled war veterans and
champions of the Fatherland Party at
a Berlin mass meeting, tbe invited war
cripples, though guests of tbe pan
Germans, being roundly abused and
beaten by their ruthless annexationist J
hosts. uverworked police, with no
time to hunt down criminals even, have
plenty of extra, work trying to pre
serve order at mass meetings or close
them up before outbursts occur.

"Brat Strength Wins la Subways."
Overcrowded subways and surface
cars ar peculiarly useful hlgh-pres
sure gauge for revealing the extensive
temperament of the latter-day German
war mind. A German observer sings of
the stopping' places: "Hera combat
reigns and only brute strength wins."
while another asks plaintively whether
a little more common sense and good
will on the part of the public might not
mitigate "the wild scenes 'In the subway."
Mutual vlrtuperatlon not Infrequent
ly leads to hostile conflict between
women conductors and passengers; .a

matlc scene of traffic being tied up on

ductress climbed down from the plat

to get aboard despite the peremptory

neutrality and assisted the conductress.
Bad War Manners a Menace.
Loud and frequent too are the pub
lic's complaints about the high-handed,
insulting tone of many shopkeepers and
clerks, this particularly the case in
food stores where food scantiness has
reversed the ordinary rulea of com
merce; the seller holds the whlphand
and feels that he is doing the buyer a
great favor. Increasingly large is the
number of tradesmen and shopkeepers
whose licenses have been suspended or
revoked by the authorities.
That bad war manners might ulti
mately become a menace of military
Importance, for Insulting or Impolite
treatment of the buying public if al
lowed to go too far is, however, fully
recognized. The Imperial Postlfflce
Department has sent out circular or
ders instructing all postal and tele
graph employes to practice the utmost
politeness in their business intercourse,
and the Ministry of War. too, has or
dered all its subordinates to deal
promptly and politely with the public.
The only cure, however, for Berlin's
war "nerves" is more food mixed with
the hope of peace.

the Bolshevik, said to the sailors. "For
God's sake let him go; let's not kill any

possible way to get him drafted.
"I don't want to allot my pay as a
soldier to a woman, who calls me a
low-lived bum," he said yesterday In
starting suit for divorce from Ethel S.
Huelat on grounds of extreme cruelty.
He alleges his wife has frequently
expressed the wish that he could be
drafted. She does this, he says. In
order that she may obtain a part of
his wages as a soldier. They were
married In Portland In 191.
William G. Cruse objected seriously
when his wife, laicretla Cruse, spread
butter on a sandwich for her younger
sister's school lunch. At least, this is
one of the allegations contained In the
wife's divorce suit, which was filed
yesterday. Sirs says he obtained $1000
from her younger sister, who Is yet a
minor. Charges of cruelty alsq are
made. They were married at Baker
City in 1911.

Rose City Parle home and then com

In the divorce complaint of Harold J.
Jones.
This home, valued at 15000, was
given to his wife by his mother, the
plaintiff asserts, because she consented
to a reconciliation last year after di
vorce proceedings had been started be
tween thm. He saya he' gave her a
$1000 diamond ring after they became
reconciled. He also declares she has
refused to ennduot their home on $2iH
a month. They have two minor chil
dren. They were married at Cincin
nati In 190S.
Agnes Gilman says Charles Gllman
compelled her to work on a farm. She
thinks she is entitled to a divorce. They
were married at Sacramento in 1911.
Stella Stewart alleges that Otis Stew
art is intoxicated most of the time,
and has destroyed their marital hap

two children and $44 a month for their
support. They were married at Coun
