instrument glanced off and struck
him on the left wrist, severing an ar
tery and causing a severe wound.
Dr. Wilhelm was telephoned for and
left immediately in his automobile,

Whatever other issues may finally
eventuate, one thing stands out clear
ly. Germany has lost its last chance
to profit by divisions or disagree
ments between the Russian people
and the Russian government. The
people have become the government.
Every peasant knows now that he
fights,' not merely for the czar, but
for holv Russia and for himself. The
new knowledge will nerve his arm
with new strength against the hated
German.
Self-governing Russia is in line
with self-governing France and self
governing England. The moral han
dicap involved in alliance of democ
racy with absolutism is removed. As
republican France flung down the
head of a king as the gage of battle
against the monarchs of Europe, so
Russia overthrows a despotism as its
renewed challenge to the emperors
of Germany and Austria. Spokes

Industrial Censorship Imminent
The time Is rapidly coming when
there will be very little, if any, pub
licity given to these measures of in
dustrial mobilization for national defense.-
In other words, a censorship
is liable to go into effect any day.
Already certain steps have been
taken by. the government in regard
to censorship and the plans tor au
extension of this precaution are upon
a scale which will preclude the pos
sibility of business men obtaining
news of their industries from the.

Russia Marches On.
The Russian bayonet thinks. This
fact spells the secret of the success
of the revolution in Russia.
There were no Swiss gunrds this
time to protect an autocrat and his
queen from the just wrath of the
people. Had there been such sol
diery at Petrograd this week, per
haps the rising of Russia might have
had another issue. At all events,
the triumph of the people and their
parliment would not have been won
so easily.
The armies of Russia are the peo
ples of Russia, the nation in arms,
and tho people and their army alike
are permeated with the principles
of self-government and fired with
passionate patriotism against Ger
many and the Germanic Influences in
the Russian government,
The earthquake came suddenly but
it had long been preparing. The
nihilists have sown seed of revolt for
at least half a century. Western po
litical ideals have been sweeping in
among the Russian intellectuals ever
since the Crimean war. The reforms
of Alexander the Liberator, who em
ancipated 23,000,000 serfs, opened
the way for the practice of democra
tic rule among the communes of the
Russian masses. The war against
Turkey in 1877-78 was a people's
war and revealed to the Russians
their power to coerce even bureau
ocracy and abolutism. The rotten
ness and impotence manifested by
the ruling powers in the war with
Japan in 1904 aroused the populace
as well as the statesmen outside of
the governing class to demand and
secure a share in the government.
The 13 years which have elapsed
have taught the nation how to con
duct affairs of state and to bring the
bureaucrats and the czar to terms.
The war with Germany has re-enforced
all the progressive and patrio
tic elements in Russian citizenship
The resentment against German in
fluence and intrigue has grown every
month for more than two years. The J
reactionaries and the Teutonic sym
pathizers have lost ground more and
more. The people's branch of the
national legislature has constantly
strengthened its grip on the govern- j
ment. The duma has sympathized
with the army in the fight against i
Germany and the army has known
that the duma was fighting Germany
in the government. It has been the'
