BROTHERHOOD
KEY TO UNLOCK
Russell Says That Marching Thou
sands of Russia Are Inspired by
Love of Humanity and Ideals of
Better Things Time Required to
Work Out Problems.
(Ily Charles Edward Russell.)
(Who lias just returned from Rus
sia, where he spent three months as
a member of the olficiul American
eommission.)
There was one thing nb'out that
liiifre (leinoustration of Sunday. July
, iu I'etrorud that was significant
and instructive, and we wore en II
mighty glad to have seen it.
It was, iu fact, the key to the
whole situation. Anybody that got
hold of that key would know abso
lutely whether there was any dan
ger in remaining in the city that
day. He would not need to resort to
guess work nor listen to the timid
souls Hint see disaster lurking iu
every shadow.
Hair .Million Marched.
Also, he would know n great deal
deal moro about the Russian people
as they really are than he could learn
In a thousand years by hanging
mound the ball room ot the Hotel
Astoria, circulating in our best so
ciety or listening to the reactionary
pipe dreams of the gentlemen in
evening clotbes that want the czar to
com back.
I'Mvo hundred thousand people
marched that day in that parade.
Those that ought to know said so
I have no reason to doubt them. I
know only that it was a monster dem
, onstration, the largest I have ever
seen.
lien, women and children marched
together and showed what the real
people of Russia really are. They rep
resented about 90 per cent of the
population of Petrograd. They were
working men and working women
and their children.
Tho women and children wore
their simple best. Often they made
a stirring and rather handsome pic
ture, with their white dresses and
red sashes.
Everything was In perfect order:
they marched very well. But that
was not what taught us things. We
got our Instruction from watching
their faces and their behavior.'
It was perfectly evident to any ob
servation that here were people un
der an unusual exaltation of feeling,
and that the feeling was fine and
good.
.Sang Songs of Ixvc.
There was nobody in that crowd
that I saw that looked sullen, or
angry or grouchy, but every face
seemed lighted up with a fine en
thusiasm. They marched with a
springing step as if they were glad
to be there. When they sang It made
ono think of some kind of religious
ceremony. The songs had no note
of defiance or ill will; they were all
songs of brotherhood and love, and
sung with extraordinary feeling.
To suppose that these people were
about to turn loose the red tides of
slaughter or rip things up the back
was just idiotic. Anybody with any
symptom of tho observing faculty
could sec they were not of that kind.
Thcro were detachments In that par
ade representing every shade of polit
ical opinion except of course the
foreign colony that takes tea at 5
o'clock and wishes the Romanoffs
were back. Every political party bad
its marchers in line and these were
continually marching past one an
other, Holshevlcs running across
Menshovlcs, and Syndicalists of the
I. W. W. type running across con
servatlvo Trudevlcs. But there was
no clashing among them.
If a parade of Tammany Hallitos
tkould bump into parade of Fuslon
lits it Is a safe bet there would be a
'bt call In threo minutes. But these
tyerlor and lowly people that have
pmuch to learn from us were quite
to respect ono another's opinions
"not beat ono another's heads in.

Marsl 'hey got up to the Field of

as to the next thing to do, but they
had only one opinion about what had
been done. They were all democrats.

CRISIS
able sight. In the old days the field
was a perfectly level sandy plain,
used as the parade and drill 'ground
for the garrison. The dead of the
revolution are burled In Us center.
When I first saw them the graves
were marked only with wooden
crosses and red banners. Almost over
night, you might say, the place was
transformed. The sandy waste be
came a beautiful garden, set with
shrubs and a profusion of flowers.
Men and women tolled volunturily for
many days to set the sods In place
and plant seed and water the flow
ers. On this Sunday a spot was set
apart for the banners and each de
tachment as it finished Its march laid
Its banner upon the pile until the ac
cumulation was about eight feet high.
Monument to Revolution,
It is on this spot that the great
monument to the revolution, already
designed, will be erected.
But to come back to this matter
of the character and behavior of the
people Isn't it plain that this MUlo
story of demonstration Sunday Illus
trates the whole situation?
Persons that have no faith in the
people and are shocked at the Idea
of farmers, teamsters and black
smiths in chargo of a government
can see nothing but trouble. If such
people are to parade of course there
will be disorder, and every man with
a starched shirt on his back had bet
ter run away. If the farmers, team
sters and blacksmiths sit In control
of the national council of course there
will be nothing but anarchy until the
better dements get hold of things
and show us what's what, as they
were designed by God to do.
Time Is .Needed.
So you can see now plainly
enough why we have all those widely
differing estimates and predictions
concerning Russia. They depend upon
the faith of the man that makes them.
Snobs, of course, can see no pros
pect but ruin. You take a gentle
man that circulates In the exalted at
mosphere of Petrograd's best society
and makes there his observations of
Russian people thru the bottom of a
tea glass and you will find In every
Instances that he Is convinced ter
rible things are at hand. But others
will understand that time always is
needed for the solution of these prob
lems, but democracy always finds a
way. Vt
BRITISH SHY OF
FUEL OIL FOR NAVY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.. Tho Brit
ish government Is so much concerned
over difficulties ln obtaining fuel' oil
for its navy that it has asked its
representatives here to take the sub

ance in transporting supplies.
The subject will be discussed at
a conference hero tomorrow between
Sir Frederick Black, shipping board,

EOF SCANDAL

niun rLHOLO
PARIS, Oct. 9. America's coutri
bution to the investigation of the
Bolo Pasha case, which Is published
for the first time today, fills literally
half of the attenuated morning pa
pers. Consequently, there is llttlo
room for editorial comment.
Senator Charles Humbert, ln the
Journal referring to cablegrams from
Now York, points out that tho pay
ment of one million francs on Janu
ary 31, 1916, was simply to enable
him to pay back money that he had
paid the month before to teh Lenoir
family for their share in the Jour
nal. It was agreed, the senator said,
that the balance of 4,500,000 francs
was to be met by Installments and
It wns not until he found himself
called upon to provide, money In lump
sums that he accepted Bolo's as
sistance. It also appears, the senator adds.
that Bolo used his contract with him
for the purpose of extracting money
from Germany, the first payment be
ing on March 13, six weeks after he
signed the contract with Senator
Humbert.
Leon Daudet, editor of L'Actlon
Francalse, continued today to make
his deposition before Captain Bou
chardon In regard to his allegations
against Louis J. Mulvy, former min
ister of the interior. Witnesses were
examined in the case of the Bonnet
rouge, one of the newspapers sup
posed to have been connected with
the German propaganda. A commis
sion has been sent to England to in
vestigate the operations there of Bolo
Pasha.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. Another
(10,000,000 liberty loan subscription
early today encouraged the campaign
committee here ln Its efforts to ac
cumulate a total of $700,000,000 this
week. The subscription was made by
the Hanover .National bank of this
rlty. The Irving National bank also
made a subscription of $5,000,000.
A group of subscriptions that cre
ated particular Interest, amounting
to more than $200,000, has been re
ceived from the troops on Governor s
Island, headquarters of the depart
ment of tho east, the committee an
nounced. The estimated total at the cuose of
business yesterday was $250,000,000,
moro than $180,000,000, believed tho
basis ot the daily allotment.

What may be among tho happy surprise's of the future., no
mortal can tell. But up to the present time this one thing is
certain, the Victrola taken as tho latest of what It stands for,
what It embodies, whnt It makes posslblo and what Is actually
performs, Is tho most wondorful, tho most cnjoyajblo and the
most useful musical instrument of which the world has ever
had any knowledKo. With tho Improved sound amplifying sur
faces and all moving parts completely concealed ln an artistic
cabinet, It appeals to the music lovers who have horotoforo de
nied themselves the pleasuro of having a Victrola simply be
cause of their fancied objections to the prominence. of the horn.
The Victrola possesses all tho accomplishments of the famous
Victor and like tho Victor, is plays Itself, nothing being loft
to uncertain skill or Inste, therefore an artistic performance is
always a certainty. Other Instruments, perfoct of their kind,
cannot escnpo from their llmllutlons. Tho flute Is not a violin
any inoro than a plona Is a voice, but tho Victrola embodies
them all.
Why not allow us to placo one of those Vlctrolas In your

you are paying for It. Tho prices rango from $17.50 up to
$3.10.00. Your money's worth or your monoy back, Is an ab
