IT WAX a strung* Irony Of fate that to reed revolutionists, hard* pressed by the soldi. -is of Ker enslty, to fall back luto the Krem lin of Moscow, for centuries the seat of despotism of Hussla. And addition al interest was attached to thin hit* torlc spot by the later announcement that here Kerensky Intended to estab lish hl? government. Perhaps no city of the nation >hus figured so prominent ly In the turmoil which for centuries has accompanied Russian politics as has this "city within a clty.v It was on the cite of the Kremlin, now the center of the city, that Mos cow was founded by Yuri Polgorukl, prince of Kiev, jn 1147. The historians believe a village existed on the heights above the ltlver Moska even before the* advent of Prince Yuri. Within a century, says the Kansas City Star, the1 new village entered Into the tur moil of Slavic wars then raglug. In 188ft the Kremlin, then an Important mllltury station of the principality of Vladimir, was socked and burned by Batou-Klmn; IB 1298 It was again sacked and its Inhabitant** were carried away Into slavery by Khan Nagat. Since then It repeatedly has been plun dered and burned. - The Kremlin Is almost triangular In shape, and is surrounded by a high In the early part of the fourteenth century Ivan Daullovltch of Vladimir took the title of grand prluce of Mos cow and moved the government from Vladimir to Moscow. From that time until " the beginning of the eighteenth century, when the administration wa* transferred to St. Petersburg, the Kremlin remained the seat of gov* eminent. Time after time, together with the rest of the city of Moscow, the Krem lin has been burned, the last Instance being In 1812? when It \va? occupied by Napoleon, and the Inhabitants started conflagrations throughout the city which forced the Little Corporul to commence his disastrous retreat from Russia. Napoleon's headquarters were in the Kremlin, and, while the flames there were not so destructive as- hi the remainder of the city, the Are attained sufficient magnitude to compel the French to evacuate. Czars Formerly Crowned There. For centuries the cears of Russia re del veer their crowns "from GocTShd the fatherland" In tJspcuskly Cathedral (Cathedral of the Assumption), in Cathedral square on the summit of .the Kremlin, and In Archangelskly (Cathe dral of thtf Archangel Michael), ar.e the tombs of many of the emperors, down Monument to Alexander III. earthen wall, a mile and a half long, which has stood for centuries. It'll one of the five divisions of the city which itlll retain their palisades. The Kremlin's wall li surmounted by 18 towers and pierced by five gates; In the Kremlin are grouped some of the most beautiful buildings of Russia. Within its walls may be read the archi tectural history of the nation, but per haps the most Interesting of the sights of the acropolis Is the tower of . Ivan the Great, 322 feet high and crowned ' by a gilt dome. The "King of Bella* It contains 34 belli*, and at Its foot rests the "King pf Bells," the Czar Kol okol, 60 feet in circumference at. Its rlra and 19 feet high, which for more than a century remained burled In the earth where it fell as workmen at tempted to raise tt to the dome, until it was raised In 1832 to the marble ped estal where it now stands. 6Ti*Easter 'eve all the gretft bells of the Kremlin toll out their message of the rewir rection, and before the war travelers Journeyed from all over the world to participate In the Impressive Easter ceremony there. JUAREZ IS AN ADOBE QITY ? V Mexican Town Displays General Un kemptness and Carelessness, and Is Not Attractive. } Most Americans huve gotten their Ideas of Mexico from the city of Juarez, which llesJuRt across the In ternational brldgo from M Paso! This Is unfortunate and someday Mexico ylU realize it, writes Niksah. When our sister republic awnkens to the Importance of making a good lmpres slon she will tear down most of Juarez and build It over again. Juarez Is an adobe city, which i# to say that It Is of one drab gray mono tone, relieved here and there by white washed porches and shntters painted a pale sky-blue. In this it resembles most other Mexican towns, but Its streets are narrowed and worse kept, Its houses more In need of repair and its street cleaning department more Completely nonexistent. If such a phrase Is permissible, than in almost any other Mexican city of its size. ~ATld"t!mr is unfortnnste. hecanne so many foreigners never see more of Mexico than Juarez. A moderately well administered Mexican town, and there are many such. Is picturesque and pleasant. The adobe architecture is distinctly a part of the environment, snd more genuine ly artistic than anything of the sort we have produced In the United States. The narrow unpaged streets, the nind walli, the unexpected plazas with thetr statues, are all adapted to the life that Is ll^ed In them, and have to Peter the Great. In the upper story of the treasury repose the crowns of the early czars, several thrones, war trophies and miscellaneous curiosities. In the arsenal is a great collection of weapons and arms taken In conflict. The Kremlin was the second capital of the empire after the removal of the government to Pclrograd. Within its walls Is the great palace completed in 1849, and here, too, a re the most won derful churches and cathedrals of the country. Up to the dethronement ol Nicholas the Kremlin was the eccles iastical center of Bussla. The acropolis Is full of inemorlea of Ivan the Toirible; whom Tolstoy called the "great beast," and In the network of underground passages which under* lies It is supposed to be burled the, library of that scholarly, but brutal, ruler. In 1005 the citadel was the center ol revolutionary disturbances, and hew In February of that year the Grand . Duke Sergio s was assassinated. And now tho historic place, the nucleus ol the city of Moscow, and the seat of Russian autocracy, again figures Id Slavic turmoil. the beauty that comex from usefulness and a serene Innocence of the desire to copy something else. Bui in Juarez the streets need cleaning, the walls need plastering and the general im pression is one of unkemptneas and carelessness. It could easily be Improved, for there are many beautiful things In Juarez. There la a church that was old wheu the Alleghenles bouhded the American colonies. There is n great plaza that could be transformed into a noble park. But Juarez ia rather proud of her bad reputation. She prefers to swagger a little and talk about the bull ring, the race track and the Black Oat saloon. There was a time when the proceeds of this latter institution are said to have paid the costs of keep ing the armies of Francisco Villa In the field. Aerial Torpedoes. i Aerial torpedoes ? great clgar ahaped cylinders crammed with trini trotoluol or a kindred explosive and finned to revolve rapidly In falling ? are gaining great favor, as the war pro gresses. More snd more airplanes and dirigibles are being armed with them, and naval airplanes are equipped with snch devices to exterminate German U^boats. The pressure of the air against the fins causes them to re volve, and In some peculiar fashion ac centuates both the missile'* speed and accuracy. Very similar to the aerial, torpedoes In construction are the huge \ tretich bomb* fired from a special' bombing gun and flanged to rotttfi while route to visit Frits. 4 Supervisors Report.
