i What Do the Russians Think About the t , , Bolsheviki? j The common man in Russia, the laborer and neasant. is the one who will feel the effect of the

Bolsheviki rule. Leaders of this Socialistic group

promised him all sorts of reforms. They traced ; all his misfortune back to czardom. Now they . are offerinsr him a panacea for-his ailments.

The peasants and workers were told that if

the czar were deposed and the Socialists obtained governmental control, all their worries would cease. Universal brotherhood would prevail, wages would be high, the cost of living low. Po- ' otical freedom would, give them the rights they wanted. Their conditions would be improved. ' : Developments since the - Bolsheviki expelled Kereasky have given the Russian worker little ' consolation. The iron hand of the czar at least kept trains moving, to bring food to industrial ' centers. Kerensky's government at least provided the masses with daily bread. The Bolsheviki may have a deep insight into the rights of man and of social inequalities, but seemingly they know very little about running industries and ' keeping transportation systems going. Or in other words, the Bolsheviki have stirred t up a nice revolution, but the worker and common ; rrri have received no benefits. Those for whom the uprising, was to bring results are the very ones who are getting nothing out of . 1 It is a safe prediction that if the Bolsheviki . are unable to do something to improve the conedition of the worker, he will do something to the revolution. The new government shows no improvement over the old one. The people are worse off. It is a safe conclusion that unless the revolution quickly proves a benefit to all classes, it will be overthrown. :

What WiDielm Kaiser Did ' Wilhelm Kaiser did it. - Not, of course, Wilhelm, kaiser of . Pottsdam palace, but Wilhelm Kaiser, an alien enemy in the eyes of the law and a draftman for the American Bridge Comany. Wilhelm bought a $500 war bond in the last Liberty Loan drive and made a speech that brought every one of his forty fellow employes in as a subscriber to the Loan. It happened at the

Company's plant at West 40th street and Princeton Avenue, Chicago, in the drafting department. But Wilhelm Kaiser was not drafted he volunteered. " " "Fellow employes,' said he; "I am an alien enemy. I came to the United States just before the war broke out in Europe. I am registered with the United States government in order that I may work here. But I like. America. I have made good money here and I feel that, because of the way I have been treated here, I should do my part, like you American ' citizens, in helping to make the Loan a success." ! After Wilhelm Kaiser had done his part toward settling Wilhelm, the kaiser, J.A D. Pickett, bond subscription seeker, collected $4,350 in sub

scriptions among Wilhelm's fellow draftsmen.;

There were just forty in the room and forty subscribed. Elsewhere in Chicago, another German, whose name is withheld at, the request of government officials, bought a $50 bond on the same day that Wilhelm Kaiser showed where his heart lay, and talked ten of his fellow countrymen into lending Uncle Sam their money. This German was not only an alien enemy, but was a paroled sailor from one of the interned German commerce raiders. Several of the Germans he brought into line could not speak English, and not one of them was a citizen of this country. -Treasury Department.

Well Are You? J. Horace MeFarland in the New York Independent. ARE you a civic mendicant, receiving the unequaled ' benefits of American ' citizenship -without giving anything but the taxes forced from you? Are yon a civic whiner, always complaining about the way "they" who govern you do things, despite the. fact that "they" la really you?

Are you a civic coward, afraid of losing worthless

friends, or of "interfering with business," if you call at

tention to inadequate service or poor methods in public

school administration, or in the street cleaning, or in some

other portion of the public service?

Are you a civic sneak, trying to avoid Just taxation by evasion or downright dishonesty, .and thus putting upon your neighbor part of the burden which is yours? : Are you

a civic waster, considering that the water supply, the food and fuel you buy, the service of collecting, garbage and

refuse, the city's parks, and in general the community

service for which you pay or do not pay, is to be used less carefully than if it was not related to the present needs

of the fighting world?

Are you a civic "uglifler" to use Doctor Eliot's good word who throws refuse into the streets, who fails' to

keep his home premises pleasant in the eyes -of his neigh

bors? Do you, in your business, spread the virus of civic

smallpox through either using or permitting the placing of the advertising signs which assault the eyes of your

defenseless neighbors?

Determine the status of your citizenship. By search

ing self -inquiry find out whether you are a negative, and therefore half bad, citizen ; whether you are a selfish and

destructive citizen, pulling down what others are endeav

oring to build up; or whether you are truly a constructive citizen. Jealous for the quality and the honor of the gov.

"Then you are sure you recognize this handkerchief as the one stolen from you?" he said to complainant "Yes, your worship," was the reply. "How do you know- it was yours?" the justice demanded. "You can see it is of a peculiar make, your worship," replied the witness. "That is the way I know it." "Are you aware, sir." shouted the Justice, drawing a similar one from his pocket, "that there are others like it?" "Indeed, I am," replied the questioned one still more placidly.
