RUSSIA IS AT SCHOOL
rPHE way n problem appears lo n man
on the in.ilile lookinR out differs
radically from the way it nppcurs to n
man on the outside looking in.
The force of this platitude is bcinc
borne Into the minds of tho ladicnls who
arc trying- to run the Russian Govern
ment. Leon Trotsky, for cxnmple, lins
discovered nn urmy Is necensary, nnd that
as tljc men tlo not volunteer compulsory
military service 'must ho decreed.
But did not tho revolution put nn end
to compulsion? Arc not nil Russians
free to do us they please? Hits nny one
nuthorily to give orders to any otic elhc?
(Iccnusc hundreds of thousands of Rus
sians !mve been iiskint these questions
and nnswerinc thtm in the name of bo
lute liberty Trotsky linds himself
accused of treason, lie is not n traitor
save to his pastJntcllectiinl fallacies. He
U lent nine how it scents to the man on
the inside looking- out. He is discovcrinc
that if there is to be any orderly govern
ment there must be n ertnln device of
surrender of the liberty of the citizen.
He :ind his associates ntc going tn
school. In fact, Russia as a whole is in
the Kindergarten class of democracy,
playing with its elements with as little
owledgc of their relations as the
youngest child has of what structures can
be built with its kindeigarten blocks by
full-giown man. They will lenrn in
time 'hat there is no such tiling as tibso
lulu libci ly, They may not leant it
before they arc ousted from office and
"''low Kcrcnsky in'o obscurity, but their
e .periencc will be pinfitable to them
and, ict us hope, to Russia.
Government will follow government,
however, until the mass of the people
unlearn what they think was tho lesson
of the revolution. Tliev then cast all
authority to the winds. The soldiers
tefiised to salute their officers, the nurses
in the Red Cross hospitals disobeyed their
superiors. Employes throughout the
country went to work when they pleased.
Organi.cd society went to pieces along
with organized government. Nothing
else could be expected under Hip circum
stances. The desttuction of the authority
of autoctacy inevitably carried with it nl
first the destruction of all nuthorily.
The sutcst and quickest way to teach
tiic extremo radicals in tho present crisis
that they have been mistaken is to make
tlieni responsible for the management of
the Government. They will discover that
it is as impossible to disrefcnid without
disaster the fundamental principles on
which orderly government is based as it
is to ignore the law of gtavity when they
wish to go from the second story of u
building to the street. If they assume
that tlictc is no law of gravitation tlicy
will step out of the window. Hut so far
as physical law's aie concerned they know
enough to go down the stairs. Their
revolution threw government out of the
window and it went flushing to the
ground. They aie trying to piece il to
gether again.
Thei- litst task should lie to discover
Ihut the only liheity which any man can
enjoy is the liberty to obey the laws on
which all orderly society is based. If
they do not know what those laws ate
they might study the Constitution of the.
United States, where they are foimulated
in n bill of rights and a giant of power
to representatives of the people to secure
those rights lo every citizen. This would
be quicker than learning them experi
mentally ut home. In the meantime, it is
hoped that before the ptcsent experi
mental process continues much longer
men of the type of Miliukof, with demo
cratic instincts mid sound experience,
may be called to posts of responsibility
where they may serve their country anil
the win Id.

which Is Inseparable ficini femliilno habit.
Tho process Is sum to be cumulative. And
ono of these dajs, when the war is o'er,
Patricia Is sine to go gliamlug foitli In

right. The country has needed btlghtenlng

And the country Is, Indeed, to be lit and
made gloilous. No ono will bo so dull as
not to po-celvo t.bo teasolt for all this.

from tho potato tree, gathering cabbages
from the bushes upon which they dwell,
compelling milk fmm tho milkweed and
extracting butter from the buttercup
these are trying tasks. And if Patricia de.

The plaies In our ltirlustri.il and comnier

In which trained Intelligence is at a pieiniuui.
In these activities women of liberal iducatloti
and technical skill tiro wanted In great mint

greatly Inereasiil demand for women. Women

dietitians, social workers, secretatles, clerks
and speilalists In many fields arc needed to
meet the tequlrements of war conditions.
This Is particularly trim with icspect to

college men for Instructors, find their teach

college women to tako their places. Hut tho

Jl'ST befoia I cauie lo Attiftka as a
bride a famllv consultation was held le
gardlng my trousseau. Whether my wanl
lolm should bo .lapancso or American way
a serious iiestlon. In all con'-ervallvo
Japanese families any business of liupor
tanco Is decided by tho united opinions ot
kindred, and tlie wardiobe of it btido is
alvviijs consldcied of utmost Impoi tnnce.
Among my relatives theie weio two ele
inents, the f-nnservatlve and the progies
slve. My oung gentleman tincle, who had
graduated flout a Tokio university, was ono
whoso opinion the tnajoilty of tlie iclatlons
looked upon with lespect. lie favoied the
American costume.
"Anions laiiropcnii people," he said, "it
Is considered CNllfine ili-e-iiui Irsy to c-pn-c
Ibe bnily. IJven men, whose llherly
Is of courc gieater than that of women,
liave to wear high collars and slilf cuirs.
Tlie Japanese ill ess. being low at Ibe peck
ami the skill patt la lug sv-anl.v. is im
proper fur wear among Huropcnu people."
WH l.IVi:i) fat- fioiii tho capital and
must of my i datives knew very little
of foielgn customs, so my uncle's slati)
menl rnude a great Impicssion upon most
of tho-o present. .M dear, old-fashioned
grandmolher, hovvuvnr, was deeply wound
id In heart. To her, Japan was tho I'liid
nf the gods and tho customs of itti pcoplo
ought not to bo questioned. Very quiiti),
but with great dignity, she protested,
"According tn pictures," she said, "the
pipe-shaped sleeves of tho I.uiupcin cos
tiinio lack glace. They ale like tin nuts
our coolies wear. It grieves inn to thipli
a littio lias come when my posteilty uro
willing to liiiiiilli.itc themselves to thn level
ot humble coolies."
y grandinotlicr was, of e-our.se. tbu
most honored uieiuber of tlie family, so her
opinion was of great weight. Hctvvcen
.tlieso two eMrcmcs It wus so hard to
choose that II was decided lo make Japa
nese dresses only, leaving my Kiiro- eau
clothing to bo selected after 1 re-jclie.!
AmerUit. So I started on my long Journey
In Jupnneso dress,
MV L'.N'L'l.irS lemarks legatding tlie
low neck and scanty sldrt of the
.lapancso ill ess had ustouisiied and trou
bled me very much, and us I was the only
Japanese woman on the ship among some
fifty or sixty American ladles, I felt re
sponsible not to disgrace my nation. The
combination of girlish modesty and loyal
patriotism In my heart caused me to do
somo absurd things.
The Japanese dress Is so made that It
can bo propel ly worn only when put on
In ono certain way,but I, with especial
caution, tried to pull up tho embroidered
folds at the neck close to tho chin, and I
remained seated as much as possible, so
my scanty skirt would not be noticed.
OK COUltSi:. I watched the dresses of
tho foreign ladles with tho greatest
Interest. The weather was not pleasant at
the beginning of tlie voyage and I did not
see muny ladles on the deck, but It was
not long before the promenading com
menced, and then I began to suspect that
my uncle might not have been wholly right
In his argument. This was Just at the
beginning of the narrow skirt fashion and
.every day my surprise Increased, but It
was, not until an evening entertainment,

think, than even the baio neck, although
even now I do not know why. 1 have seen
