tooooooooooeoeoooooooooooo C¢ar’s Former Minister,
0i|cc Powerful and Rich..
Now Employed uf- . orter
N¢»¢A- ¢+¢¢M
A. SOUKHOMLINOF., formerly a millionairi
. the Czar's Minister of
War at the outbreak of
the war, one of the biggest men of the old Russia, is now working as a porter in a little municipal oflice of the Bolshevik Administration at Petrograd, where he sweeps the floor, runs errands for the clerks and heats the water for the secretary’s tea.
And Mme. Soukhomlinoff, once
brilliant and beautiful, the power be- hind the throne, the coutldante of princes and grand dukes is now sell- ing programs in a Petrograd moving picture theatre. Thus both are try- ing to earn enough bread to keep them from starving.
After the Bolshevikl had deposed
Kerensky and had investigated the papers and documents found in the archives of the Foreign Omce at Petrograd, they arrested Soukhoni- llnoff. The new Government accused the former Minister of War of trea- son. In fact, it accused Soukhomli- nod of bringing about the war by deceiving the Czar and nullifying the Czar’s order concerning the de- mobllization of the Russian army.
Soukhomlinoff was tried in open
court. Disclosures made by witnesses were of n most sensational character.
W- A. SOUKHOMLINOFF.
The press of the Central Powers-and pro-German newspapers in neutral countries devoted columns to the wash of dirty linen. Soukhomlinotf was found guilty ond sentenced to a long term of imprisonment.
Trotzky, then Minister of Foreign
Affairs, used the disclosures made at the trials as bombs to throw at the Allies. He laid bare alleged secret treaties entei‘ed"`iiTi'6"by`"tliE"Allies, which weresaid to disclose their lust for conquest and spoliation. At that time Trotzky declared similar dis- closures could be made regarding the rapacious designs of Germany, but these were never uncovered for good reasons, perhaps known only to Trot- sky and his associates.
At any rate it seems very queer
that Soukhomlinoff, who was sent to prison for a long term, is free again. He was sentenced less than s year ago.
It is claimed that he was liberated
as a result of a general amnesty. However, no one here heard of any such amnesty before. It is possible German influence liberated Souk- homlinoff. The Germans could well afford to exert themselves in behalf of a man who had made “disclo- s_ures" at a time when they could be used to the detriment of the Allies.
And why should Soukhoinlinoff be
given an odllcial position with the Bolshevik Government, even if it is a very humble one? Why should Trotzky send Soukhomlinoif to pris- on as a traitor. then liberate him after a. few months and take hlni back into the Government service?
There are Russians who believe the
whole trial of Soukhamlinotf, viih its so-called disclosures and sensa- tions, was a melodrama staged for political purposes, a frame-up engl- neered by German propaganda.
Wliat Ia a Poilu?
A humble man who, one July
afternoon in 1914, left at two hours' notice his Parisian hal) or work- shop, or his ripe wheat fields or his ripening vines for a military depot he had never liked and had managed to tolerate only because soldiering and all things soldierly are lovable to the Frenchman and take on halo in his imagination; was packed to the Belgian frontier, made the acquaintance of danger under all its forms; fought, hungered-hungered and thirsted-~for days; knew the trenches when they were in their crudest novelty and worse than the badger’s hole; got wounded and lay for hours, sometimes days, where he had fallen, or crawled miles to a hurried surgeon and to the torturing goods' trucks pompously labelled sanitary trains; got well and went back to the depot, and then back to the front and t.o fighting or being shelled; and so on during four years, with the ever-disappointed certainty that "next winter must be the last," or that the imminent com- ing in of’this or that nation must bring the end. l

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQOOOO General Foch Prociulms
The Value of Thought
As the Basis for Action
EN. FOCH has taken a partl- cularly brilliant part in all the principal operations since the outbreak of hostilties.
As is well known, he contributed in a large degree to the Marne victory. In Flanders he revealed his charac- teristic tenacity during the crucial days of October, 1914, and the suc-V cess of the Somme offensive, in 1918, was in great part. due to him. lit the end of 1916, Gen. Foch had been lntrusted wltii several missions both in France and in Italy. When the Austro-German troops made the des- perate rush upon the Italian lines which resulted in the Isonzo retreat, Gen. Foch directed the Anglo-French troops sent to the aid of the Italians. Since then he has been at the head of those troops of manoeuvre which were to be engaged at the right mo- ment either otfensively or defensive- ly on the French front.
Such, brieny summarized, is the
career of the man in whom the Allied troops have placed all their trust, and very rightly so, if one can judge from what can be gleaned of his character in the two remarkable books he wi'ote whilst director of the Superior School of War: “The Principles of War,” and “The Conduct of War: Manoeu- vres in Battle§" Rarely have any works been so expressive of their author. Rarely has the personality of any writer dominated and pene- irated to such a degree the ideas set out and defended. The saying of Napoleon I.~, with which he prefaces the first of his works, admirably sums up his conduct of life and work: "it is not genius that suddenly re- veals to me what I must say or do in a circumstance which to others would be unexpected; it is redection and meditation."
"Think!Y’ repeated Foch unceas-
ingly to his pupils, "and yet again think! You will be asked later to be the mind of an army; I tell you to- day, learn to think.” And the latter, obeying the injunctions of their great master, have for the most part be- come officers of extraordinary inlil- tary capacities.
His belief in personal initiative
and tl\<~ught is shown in these words; “The -rt of commanding does not consisi in thinking and deciding for one‘s subordinates," and he further declares that, "To command has never meant to ‘be mysterious,’ but on the contrary it signifies to 'com- municate that very thought which
animates th? direction’."
Foch als shows much dexterity
in the use of irony, and one can well imagine him asking his pupils in his soft, yet energetic, voice: "Do you think that to wear slung on one's hip a well-sharpened, well-cared-for sword, signifies that one knows how to fight" His conception of the only method of warfare is summarized -in the following declaration also glean- ed from his “Conduct of War":
“High as the command may he
placed, its ilrst task should always be to give orders, but its second task, which is quite as important as the first, should be to insure the execu- tion of' these orders. A battle must be conducted on the battlefield."
lt would, however, be quite errn-
neous to suppose that Gen. Foch is merely preoccupied bf' purely mili- tary questions, or tlia: his interests are limited. All political, diplomatic or economical prob; ms attract him greatly, for he is .vays desirous of extending his :ii .cdge He listens uttentively to lr: . iorlm-utors, often bewildering ihf- y thc precision of his questions, , ’ daring interview- ers have more \ i once discovered, after fi-vc m'i i- . of conversation, that Gen. Focn - .4 turned the tables on them with a. -vengeance! For he excels in direc. a conversation as if he wcne cxftuting a manoeuvre, and he possesfci, moreover, a real knack of uv.-taii.;: g the maximum of informatitn from each person with whom he i 5 brought in contact.
Coniider.-fi in Gen. Foch is un-
bounded, fo it is remembered that 'tis Foch wi.: declared, "A battle won is a battle in which one will not own oneself bearn." '
Wa.ter-Saving Baths.
A recently invented bathing ma-
chine not only washes the body, but also gives a massage and dries the skin without the use of a towel in less time than is required by the us- ual process. The machine takes up so little space and requires so little water that it may he used in a sleep- ing ear or in any other place where ipace or water is limited. _
The body is thoroughly cleansed by
a series of brushes driven at will at either high or low’speed. Each brush ls -_ight inches in diameter with lhrei--inch bristles. The brushes are hinged .it the top on bali joints so as to open out wide for a fat man or close in for 'i thin one. The loot or arm can be eiisily thrust between any two of the L'.'iishes and thoroughly washed. An adjustable pedestal at the bottom is easily moved up or down to accommodate a tail or short
person.
All the moving parts il' '- electrical-
ly operated. The insulat_.\i. and con- nections are so designee that the bather takes. no chance of getting a
shock.-Tit-Bits.
Married Again.
"I don't like to send out wedding
cards," said Flubdub. "You know, ‘ married the day after I got my divorce."
"l understand. Suppose you an-
nounce ‘Under new munagement,' and let it go at that."
One Question.
"You must isolate the patient." "All right. doctor; where shall W1

FAMUUS SURGEUN
Kllllll BY PAlllNl
-_--4
According to Milton V Snyder, Lonl
don correspondent of the New York! Sun, the assassination of Dr_ Pozzl in Paris has ended the useful life of one of the imost illustrious of French surgeons and perhaps the one most wldlely known in England anti the United States. He was the victim of a man upon whom lie had performed an operation for ai cerebral lesion. but whom -he was unable to cure. This man. owfing to increased suff- erings and mental disturbance, was obsessed with the idea that the fam ily surgeon was responsible for his condition, and in his demented state resolved to' avenge himself upoii thc scienitilst who had done his utmost to restore him' to normality. 1’i~ot‘cs.<or Pozzi had a wide -a-cquainltaiice in Paris, where he is mourned by thuus ands oi’ poor women whom he treated in the hospitals and by thousands mo re in aristocratic and artistic circles. where he was a welcome friend. ln the course of his long professional life he had been a surgeon in the hos- pitals, a professor of the Paris Fac ulty of Medicine, and had inade many innovations in surgery, especialy with regard to the diseases of women
bike a Venetlon Dodge.
I-le had created model wards for the diseases of women at the Broca Hes _
pital_ He was 71 years old . and liadalmost ceased operating. His
art demands thevigorous hands and the elearsight of the man who has not yet passed maturity. But he al ways continued to take a passionate iii-terest in everything pertaining to his profess-lon. It was lic who, as the nesult of a journey '.0 the United States, made known iz. france the iplcndid discoveries oi’ \~ .irrel in his New York lnboratory_ application which found it fruitful use in the trcot-
ment of war wounds_
Lancet or pen,
The great preoccupation of,/this .ill ustrlous surgeon, to w-hom no honor was lacking was to live as a gentle man He was a magnificent liorsemun, and iin the Salles D’arn1es a ieucer of the first order. He would lay down the lancet to take, up the poet’s pen; lasit year, in the llcvuc de Paris, might have been sr :n two sonnets by_liim, sonnets w.hl<‘h had roal merit, revealing nothin; ot' the amateur. He was a real liver of thc urts, and had the operating thentrcs
of talent. He bought their plctur..s. Hc also bought the untiquc thu. brought him one day into coiiflitt with Anatole France in an amusing way. The lla-tttr, in the course of hi-s travels in Turkey, -had discovered the shop of at Jewish merchant a
Grecian statue of ii good period. “l clnnot take it with inc." lic said to
an l'll buy lt."
Th: Syl-lan'a Shrewd Guess
Some time later the Syrian .low
made the voyage with the statue, only, instead of taking it to Anatole Franco, he knocked at Pozzl's door. “l thought said he ingenously, "that a great surgeon must .make more money than a om/_el,l_|t__and tha-t you would pay me more‘f"--He wits not mistaken; vPozzi bought `tli'e"statue. Anatole France bore him a grudge for -a few days only, and later on the piaiir of them laughed over the incident. But above all, Dr. Pozzi was ilniniitably gracious toward women. Sometimes this graciousness was a trifle surgical. To a lady who sa-id to him one dav, "Oh,.doctor, how nice you are to us, ‘ _-. replied: "I do ‘ what I can. I can boast thot, of all the surgeons who have ever .operated on women, I am he one who has left the smallest scars; I am too great an ad- mirer of their bestrty to wish to des- troy it." ‘
A Long and Pleasant Life.
Mr Snyder recalls an occasion when
he dined with Dr. Pozzi with a dis- tinguished compariy_ among whom was another eminent doctor. a specin`ist upon dist. He passed his life saying “Don't._¢ut chat, ladies; whatever you do. donot drink that." "l don't under-
