MANY CHANGES COME
IN THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
PETROGRAD, August 14.—Twen
ty-four months of war has made a
new country of Russia. The spirit of
the people has changed. Con tinned
pessimists admit that the war has
worked a miracle.
Two years ago, when fighting be
gan, Russia like England and France,
was torn by internal dissension. Her
many races were at odds. A strike
of serious proportions was on. Things
looked dark for the Empire.
Russia today is more united than
she ever has been. She is better or
ganized. Every city and town in the
Jaud belongs to a Municipal Union to
aid the nation. Every village and
rural district has joined a second and
similar organization. In all Russia,
including Siberia, there is scarcely a
single peasant not working for the
army or some public good.
Up lo August, 1914. of nearly 200
million Russian subjects, few had
taken direct phrt in any public or na-<
tional work. They are today nearly
all doing their bit. This fact is lend
ing a brand new tone to the Empire.
A war of gigantic proportions
makes or breaks a participant. For
Russia this one promises to be a bles
sing in disguise, according to notori
ously conservative thinkers here who

believe they see in the wartime spirit
of the public the commencement of
unprecedented developments.
The Russian Duma is composed of
Princes and Peasants, millowners and
workmen, college professors and
farmers, Jews, Gentiles, Poles, Ar
menians, Cossacks, Orthodox priests
and free thinkers, so mixed a body
•with such varied interests that people
have said it never could do valuable
word because it never could agree.
| Here is what happened in the Duma
when the war broke out:
On August 8, a week after hostili
ties began, the two houses met at the
Winter Palace of the Czar. The Km*
peror made a short speech, saying.
*T am persuaded that all of you
j will be in your place to assist me to
support the test, and that all b ‘gin
ning with myself, will do their duty
Great is the God of the Russian Kath
| orland.”
A great cheer went up from tht
Duma. One by one par.v leaders came
forward anil pledged themselves t
work for the common good. Even
Purishkivich, the implacable leader of
the anti-semites, abandoned his prin
ciples. Today the Duma places the
army’s interests first.

ROME. August 14.—'The manner in
which the people of Italy celebrated
the first anniversary of the war re
cently offers the best impression of
Italy’s spirit.
The event was everywhere celebrat
ed with splendid shows of patriotic
enthusiasm. The capital and other
Italian cities maue holidays to observe
the occasion most fittingly.
The Roman Corso staged a shout

Populo to the Piazza Venezia.
Broken veterans of 1870 in their
tattered blit treasured (Jaribaldian
uniforms toiled along with the
'marchers.
Countless bands, all really musical,
played the stirring martial music of
Italy and her allies. The buildings,
which aisled the route, were gay with
ythe banners of England and France
and the Italian tri-color.
The moment of the celebration i
made it more remarkably significant.
The Austrians had just begun their
fierce offensive in the Trentino. They
hud even been successful in their ini
tial movements. Their strength in
cannon and the favoring topography of
the battleground hail been responsible.
Rome, like the rest of Italy, was
Tull of wild and generally exaggerated

important generals and regiments
were on many tongues. Nothing,
however, could dis-spirit the courage
ous people.
“Temporary reverses” only harden
ed their determination to win and
whipped their pride to greater efforts.
Therefore they celebrated the anni
versary by flinging into the face of
the enemy not a decreasing, but an in
creasing enthusiasm for war.
Much credit is due the country’s
women of the people. They responded
nobly to the general call for self
sacrifice. Girls replaced the male
conductors on the street cars and the
male sweepers of the streets.
In great measure the fields began to
be tilled and the crops gathered by
women. Other feminine substitutes,
permitting able-bodied men to train
for war, were employed.
Even society gave up its money and
jts pleasures.
