'The Uussi.in revolution is a hall of fir" s..id the speaker, "and whothrr it t.nrns the world or whether it illumines it. is up to the people. A ure.it many people have the idea that if l-nine and Trotzsky were dead the trouble in IlusLi would c -are. "lint this is the wron idea." taid Mr. Hindus, "ami to fully understand why this it. people must understand the living conditions of the country. "The farm lands are all owned by landlords, who pay the pasnnts from ei-ht to 1", rents a day. This payment is made in check which can only be cashed by the landlord once a month." Mr. Hindus told of the farm lands near hi own home. The land was owned by tVvo landlords, one polish and th" other (Jerman. Mr. Hindus further said: Very KeHsioiix.

"Wion's policy is the only policy xv hereby the J:usi.r situation may be mcce.ssf uMy handled" The fureiroinp was the statemrnt mule by Morns (J.

According to Mr. Hindus, th war Is nat over; the fiuhtin is just suspended and not ceased, anl the thinking be'un. Whether or not the fighting will continue depend lnrly upon t lie thinking Of the penpie of the world. The many obstacle which must first be overcome before the world is assured of peace Were cited by the speaker. He told of the territorial coniuets of the various nations reresented at the peace conference and brought out

ifAgn St.

of Paptifcta. In tho eye of thee I people (Jod created the land for' them and the landlords are looked ! upon as usurpers and not owners, j It lias always been the desire of the; people of Russia to own their farm ! lands but their efforts to do so have I alwa? been defeated. The czar! erected churches, aloons and placea of torture for the people and with: hi abdication the people paw tht-r; opportunity to ain the goal they'

hav !o Ion rr zeucht. "The first government established was a peasant government which of-

ferert the lanrt to the people pro- j vided they pay for It. This, because i of the poverty in which the peasant J has always been compelled to live, I was impossible ami the government j

overthrown. This povernment was followed by Kerensky, who wa a remarkably eood man but not remarkably brilliant. Put Kerensky was between two fires, the landlords who supported the government financially and the peasants who desired the land. Uecuuse of the landlords, the peasants turned against Kerensky and his government. At thi time, Nov. 7, 1917, bolahevism made its appearance, headed by Le-

; nine, who was very unpopular, uui

the people accepted it out of sheer desperation. Compulsory Sorvicv. "To turn to the soldiers, service in the army was compulsory under the czar, and the caste system which developed between the men and officers was very bad. The soldiers were paid from IS to 3 5 cents a month, which lid not rover their expenses of living. The officers were hated by the men and in peace times there was always a rebellion in the army. At one time war was declared, the entire army was not properly fed, clothed or equipped. Only one rifle was available for every three soldiers and as the army increased In size only one rifle was available for every 12 men. "If the Itvusian army had been properly equipped they could have easily overcome Germany and AustriaHut Germany knew the situation and had a number of the army officials in her pay. Will Strengthen Ilolslicviki. "For the allies to po against the bo!shevik will only be to strengthen it. If Italy sends an army into Russia it will not last four weeks, and if France attempted the same I give her just three months. The people of Europe are exhausted and another war would mean revolutions throughout tho entire world. The Russian revolution was the greatest event In modern history, as it meant the downfall of aristocracy." Ople Ittrl Speaks. Opie Reed, prominent newspaper

man and humorist, uave a short talk (

on the development of will power. In opening his talk. Mr Reed said, "Humor without thought behind it is slap stock." He then told of how

a grain or sann miKiu unmc mcourse of a mighty river and how the same applied to human life. He cited ,

.several instances during his newspaper oireer, one being how he secured an interview with Gen. Grant, who refused to we any newspaper men. Mr. Reed dwelt very strongly upon the fact that the mind can be developed the same as the muscles of the body and that one should choose some goal and work towards it. V.ishop .1. II.

NO DROP IN COST OF BUILDING MATERIAL

Washington

Avenue

That there will be no decrease in the cos-l of building material during the present year, and that holders of vacant property in South Uend should build homes on this property," is the opinion of Howard Emmons, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Sec'y Emmons Tuesday issued tho announcement that he hnJ conferred with several building material firms, and also with the national association of builfjinpr material concerns, nnd haa been told by them that there will be no decrease in the cost of material for at least a year. "In view of thi3 fact," said Mr. Emmons, referring to the report from building material dealers, 'South rend owners of vacant property fhould build on this property now. There are at least 8,000 vacant lots In South Ilend where street improvements have been made. "If the owners of this property will build houses on these vacant lots, they will not only increase the value of their property, but they will at the same time provide a revenue getter. "If property owners fire waiting for a drop in th? cost of building material, they are making a mistake. We have conferred with a number of building material dealers, and with their general association, and they tell us that there will be no decrease in the cost of this material for at least a year. "The Chamber of Commerce will aid anyone desiring to build by putting him in touch with those who can lend financial assistance to those needing it to Improve their vacant property by building houses on it."
