A PACIFIC PORT, Aug. 4—The American mission to Russia, headed by Elihu Root, landed here late last night. No official statement on the work of the mission in Russia or on the report thut the mission will make after its return to Washington was made public. Mr. Root, acting as spokesman, declared that he had nothing to say beyond the fact that the party had been hospitably received in every Russian city visited.

From the Russian revolution will be evolved a stable government, according to James Duncan, vice president oi fhe American Federation of Labor. Its establishment is retarded, he declared, by the radical so-called reformers, who have returned to Russia from America, The success of the revolution Mr. I Duncan attributed to the workmen of

Russia by whom the propaganda of freedom was first carried to the peasant class at the time of the original duma in H06.

Charles Edward Russell ?aid the task of new Russia was greatly handicapped by German influences and the ceaseless activities of the German propagandists. "Most of the trouble, however, has been caused by Russians naturalized as Americans, who have returned to Russia since the outbreak of the revolution," ho said, and added that Russians from the United States spread the report throughout the country that America had entered the war from sordid reasons.

Blames Trouble Makers.

"These propagandists," lie continued, "who pretend to have an intimate knowledge of American conditions and American motives, inform their native countrymen that the government of the United States is more oppressive than the old regime at Petrograd."

He declared that the extremists of the socialist party were demanding the immediate, institution of a socialist commonwealth regardless of the menace of German militarism, but that most of the socialists were coming to understand that the world must be made safe for democracy before there can be any sound progress toward social betterment. Declaring that the socialist party in America is in the hands of German propagandists, Mr. Russell made his first answer-to his expulsion from that party. "The constitution of the socialist party in the United States provides that no one could be expelled without a hearing," he asserted, "so I consider that I have never been expelled, but I have no interest In an organization that is disloyal."

THE WIFE WHO FAILED

(By EVA F. T.F.ON Mil.)

A NARRATIVE OF THE CRISIS IN THE LIVES OF A YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE, FURNISHING AN ABSORBING REFLECTION OF DOMESTIC LIFE.

"Eleanor, who do you suppose I met on the way home tonight?" Douglas Filmore strode into the house with unusual animation. "I can't guess, tell me." Mrs. Filmore looked up expectantly. Her husband came over to where she sat, kissed her and then took the baby, who reached out entreating arms to its father before he answered. "Nobody less than Judge Meldon, who was our nearest neighbor when we were first married and lived on Water street. He-was not a judge then, by the way." "I haven't seen either of them for years. They were very pleasant people." Eleanor rose. "I must go and see how my roast is getting on." "The judge was very cordial and really seemed glad to see me," continued the husband, following her to the kitchen with the baby on his shoulder laughing and chattering in high gleo "Why shouldn't he?" exclaimed Eleanor. "We were quite Intimate at one time." "He eferred to those days and said it was a shame that people who enjoyed the same things and were so congenial should never meet." "I think it is as much their fault as ours that we have drifted apart" Interrupted Eleanor. "I told him we had not been going out much these last years that we did not like to leave the children alone, and there was no one to stay with them. 'Why," he said, 'Jack must be twelve years old by this time. He Is old enough,to stay with them, isn't he?' Then he went on to say that they had a whist club in the neighborhood and mentioned several neighbors who helonged. Finally he said, 'You and your wife really belong to our crowd and I wish you would come over to the club and show cause why you should not join. It meets at our house next Tuesday evening.' I told him I would refer the matter to you and if I could get you to come we would be there." "It was verv kind of him I am sure. I should enjoy it very much, but of course we cannot go."

"Why not?" Douglas set the baby on the Iloor. She had become restless. It was dull business performing to an unappreciative house, eihe was used to undivided attention. "We have no one to leave the children with in the first place," began Eleanor. "I agree with Meldon. Jack 1» old enough to stay with them."

Eleanor looked up in surprise. "Why D9uglas," she exclaimed, "he could do nothing if the baby should be sick." "I think he could telephone. If anything unusual came up he could let us known and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the baby never wakes up in the evening." "Another reasori for staying at home is that I have_nothing to wear." "I suppose not. You go without everything that the children may have the best. Do you know I believe you overdo the thing? It ,is time you considered yourself." Douglai leaned^ against the door jam and crammed his hands into his pockets. "I do not think you have much to say about that. You went without a new suit to get winter coats all around." Eleanor looked lovingly at bim. "Well, I will change the pronoun and say that we overdo the self-sacrificing act as far as the children are concerned. It isn't right. We are narrowing ourselves and so impoverishing them in the long run. It is not good for children to be set up on a pedestal and allowed to think everything belongs to them while their parents go shabby and deny themselves reasonable pleasures." "I should enjoy going ever so much. I wonder Eleanor stopped. "What?" "I had been planning to have Margaret take dancing .lessons this fall and winter. I might take the money I have saved for that and "Just^_the thing," interrupted Douglas. "Margaret is young yet for dancing lessons anyway. I'll phone Meldon we will be glad to accept his invitation."

The manly way In which you have taken your dlsapp intment is certainly an admirable one. Don't you know some nice girl who would be interested In your attentions? Think over your list of acquaintances, and even if you do not find any who measures up to the Ideal of the one you loved and lost, perhaps, upon cultivation of the acquaintance, you might find an attraction you did not dream existed. A man has a great advantage In a situation of this kln1. He is permitted to t:ike the initiative. Try to forget the other girl.
