Chief Characteristic Tired Feeling,

Warsaw.—That bolshevism is in its
f ;-critical stage, either turning to im
perialism, with perhaps Leon Trotzky,
minister of war and marine, as the
new emperor, or slipping back to the
idea of nihilism, with a sort of order
ly disorder, is the impression given
by many refugees of all nationalities
•who have arrived here from Russia,
The corrsepondent has talked to a
number of these people as to what
might happen in Russia if there is
no outside interference. One of them
was a bolshevist soldier who deserted
while his contingent was engaged in
raiding the country 'west of Minsk.
‘‘^)ur chief characteristic,” he said.
•Ms, that we are tired—tired of fool
ing, tired of killing, tired of fighting
and tired of wandering from pillar to
post. There is no doubt that Leon
Trotzky is attempting to obtain order
and to whip the troops into shape.
He is known to be terribly ambitious,
and possibly he is dreaming of be
coming czar, knowing that bolshevism
tas failed.”

Crowded galleries and the throng of
men and women who could not gain
admission testified to the personal
feeling for the man whose death
shocked the world. It was this to
which Senator Lodge, a close friend
of the man he eulogized, referred
when he spoke these words in the
stillness of the house chamber:
“A tower is fallen, a star is set!
Alas? Alas? for Celin.
The words of lamentation from
the old Moorish ballad, which In boy

have risen to many lips when the
world was told that Theodore Roose-
