(This Is another'of the series of
articles by Charles Edward Russell,
who has just returned from Russia,
where he spent three months as a
member or the official United States
commission to the new Russian government.
(By Charles Edward Itiisseli.)
(Copyright 1917 by Ibe Ncwspupcr En
terprise) Association.)
The Russian people are making the
workl'B most advanced experiment In
democracy.
After years of hideous oppression
they won their liberty from an autoc
racy that represented the dark ages.
They never deserved any such op
, presslon; the genius of It was abso
lutely foreign to their spirit and
characteristics.
By Brutal Might.
' 1 It was forced down them by bru
- tal might and great guns.
If anything should happen to over
' throw their hopes and bring back
the yoke they threw off, every man
In the world touched with any sense
v of the spirit of liberty would regard
It as an unspeakable personal calam
ity. All the world of progressive think
ers and friends of democracy would
mourn always and say that their
cause had suffered Its greatest de
feat. They should'understand, then, per
fectly, that this is exactly what will
happen should Germany win In this
war. -
The victory of Germany would
mean the return of the half-crazy
czar, the police, the spies, the exile
to Siberia. It. would mean extinc
tion of democracy.
The whole structure of our hopes
for Russia would fall together,
Persons , that are. able to blind
themselves to the real nature of
Germany and what it stands for may
try; to pretend that this is mere as
sertion. . i
It not assertion.' It is ascer
tained fact.
I will now give you a little chapter
of previously unprlnted history.
You omembor that the Russian
people had made one revolt previous
to tbatj 0f iast March. In January,
1905 Whey rose against the monstrous
aufcct1Cy ti,at wag crushing them,
ana fi spite of Bloody Monday and
of? slaughters they made for a
tlnb great headway.
J1n March, 1905, when it looked as
it tils crown was slipping from his
head, when the revolt was spreading
to all parts of the country and many
provinces had declared their inde
pendence, Czar Nicholas wrote a let
ter of piteous appeal to his dear in
timate friend, Kaiser Wllhelm.
', Appealed to Kaiser.
The two were In almost dally com
, municatlon, anyway. No two rulem
of Europe were more sympathetic or
affectionate. Their Intimate corre
spondence was continued down to
the very outbreak of the war, and
some say it did not cease then.
At least It Is perfectly certain that
the czar never had any heart In the
war against Germany and continued
to regard Kaiser Wilhelm as his best
and dearest friend.
So In March, 1907, he wrote to the
kaiser, discussing the situation In his
empire, about which It appears he
had often consulted his friend, and
expressing the fear that he might not
be able to bold out against the revo
lutionists. They seemed to be making new
progress every day and it was plain
enough that a large part of the army
sympathized with them.
, , lromlsl Million Troops.
, What was to be feared, therefore
waa that In a critical encounter be-
' 'tween the army and the people the
"army would desert to the popular
cause, and In that case nothing would
lis left to do but to flee over the bor
der to safety.
To this the kaiser replied, giving
to his imperial brother heart of hope.
He said that it was the czar's duty
to himself, the dynasty, his fellow
monarchs and his God to hold out to
the last. And he said that he was
prepared to send to Russia, If neces
sary, a million men to crusb out tho
revolution and make the czar safe
on hla throne.
Subsequent letters discussed the
manner in which this could be done
and Bottled the details, the places at
which the German troops should en
ter and the generals tiiut should com
mand them. .
. The position of the kaiser was that
all the autocratic governments, draw
ing their authority directly from di
vine decree, must stand together at
whatever cost to put down this ris
ing tide of mob rule.
Kaiser Advised Iron IIiiikI.
And he urged the czar to put It
down with an Iron hand.
I have talked with a man that has
Been this correspondence.
It was the means of overwhelming
the revolution and restoring the des
potism. . .
There was at that time pending
applications for loans that Russia
wanted to float In England and in
France. These countries had refused
to lend any money to Russia so long
as the revolution was on. They did
not wish to be In the position of
helping an autocracy to put down a
democratic uprising..
'Russia was almost bankrupt, as
usual.
The fact of the correspondence be
tween the kaiser and the czar became
known to the governments of Eng
land and France. They learned what
the kaiser had undertaken to do with
his r-.lllion troops,1
They decided that It would be bet
ter to lend the money to the czar's
autocratic government than allow
Germany to annex Russia, which
would be the practical result If the
kaiser swept in with his troops.
German Money Used.
They therefore allowed the loan to
be made. Russia took the money
and with It suppressed the revolu
tion. ; ' '
Now observe that, when the revolu
tion of this year broke forth and the
czar's advisers saw that It was seri
ous, their very first word was to open
the front and let the German troops
In to put the rebellion down.
It is plain enough, therefore, that
the old agreement Btlll stood, in spite
of the war, and that at a signal the
kaiser's soldiers were ready to rush
In, shoot down the Russian revolu
tionists and put the czar back on the
throne. ' . '
Nothing prevented this except the
czar's perception that the revolt had
gone so far It could not be suppressed
without bloody fighting in the heart
of Russia and that he was not willing
then to bring It about. '
These are the facts. Thoy show
how absolutely the life of democracy
in Russia hangs upon the defeat of
Germany.
Show KuUer lis Ho In.
They show the kaiser also-as he
really Is, the frantic foe of tho demo
cratic advance, the mad dog of Eu
rope, crazed with the notion that he
Is divinely appointed to prevent the
world from passing under mob rule.
and ready to pour out his people's
blood to, keep any old throne any
where from tottering to the ground.
He advised the czar to put down
with a ruthless hand every insurrec
tion. There 1b no question as to what
he would do if his armies should ever
break through that eastern front.
The American pacifists, copper
heads, nnd the pro-Germanists are
now engaged In helping hi into break
through.
If one of them over dares to utter
the word "domocracy" you would
think the word would choke him.
He la doing his best to exterminate
democracy from this world.

PARIS, Augi 31. Workmen In the
Swiss cities of Berne, Zurich and
Basel went on a half-day strike yos
terduy as a protest against the high
cost of living, says a Havas dispatch
from Basel. The manifestation was
organized by socialist who, the dis
patch adds, declared that If It does
not produce results, a prolonged
strike, Involving municipal services
such as gas and electricity, will be
ordered.
MILK SOLD PUBLIC
To the Editor: Judging from cor
respondence coming to this office it
would seem that considerable mis
apprehension exists among dairy
farmers relative to the requirements
of the law passed by the legislative
assembly of 1917, which requires the
pasteurization of all milk and cream
sold to consumers and all by-products.
of creameries or cheose factories
If not produced from tuberculin test
ed cows.
Would you, therefore, do mo the
fnvor and your subscribers a service
by allowing me space in your val
uable columns to placo before your
readers the exact text of the law
which is known as Chapter 332 of
the General Laws of 1917; section 2
of which roads as follows:
"That from and after September
1, 1917, It shall he unlawful for any
person, firm, company, corporation
or association, to sell or offer or ex
pose for sale or exchange for human
consumption any milk from cows that
have not passed the tuberculin test,
unless such milk shall have been pas
teurized as hereinafter provided. It
is understood and hereby expressly
stated that nothing In this section
shall apply to the delivery of milk or
cream to creameries, cheese or con
densed milk factories by the produ
cer of such milk or cream, or In bulk
to tho wholesale trade."
It will be noted from the reading
of the abovo that this part of tho law
doeB not apply In any way whatever
to any dairy farmer .who is selling
his milk or cream to a condensory,
creamery, cheese factory, milk depot
or any manufacturing plant, but said
condonsery, creamery, cheese factory,
milk depot or manufacturing plant
are held responsible for the process
of pasteurization.
On tho other hand, If dairy farm
ers are making what is known as
"dairy butter" or any other milk
product nnd selling the same direct
ly to consumers, then and In that
case they come under tho purviow of
this act.
Section S of tho act makes provis
ions as follows: "Milk from nnycow
or cows whose owner or lessee shall
apply to the Slate Livestock Sanitary
board to have such cow or cows tu
berculin tested shall be exempt from
all of the provisions of this act until
such time an such cows shall have
been tested." This application should
be made to Dr. W. H. Lytle. stato
veterinarian, Salem, Oregon.
