(United Press Staff Correspondent) Petrograd, June 19.—(By mail)— ‘““War is not at all bad,” pastor Chas. Wagner, author of “The Simple Life,” declared to me in the course of a Paris interview, December, 1914, And when I asked him to ‘go on and explain, he said: i “Out of this turmoil and slaughtér a few blessings are bound to emerge, like lilies from the sand of a pond. For one thing I can see a return from a highly material, to a more spirit- ual form of everyday life. For an- other I believe the minds of the masses will be lifted by the war to a vision of bigger things. i #No man can through such an ex- perience and remain the petty crea- ture he was at the beginning. He can not go back to his awl and his last ang pick up bristle and thread just- where he left off. “War hardens, but war educates; one must be different afterward; one must be wiser. War Educates People. The pastor-philosopher was not speaking of the soldiers of France alone. He included all peoples af- fected by the war—the English—the French—the Germans—the Aus- trians and the Russians. His inference was that France will be a different country after the war. So will Germany and England and Russia and all the others. Russia is bound to be a new Rus- sia. That is one of the things the war means to this mighty empire. If western Europe will be changed through this Armageddon, how much more so will the Europe of the east where the people are comparatively young. These are the things im- lied by Pastor Wagner. . Russia, in fact, has already chang- ed, already started on the new road. Raussia Has Chance. The American coming to Russia ex- pects to find things much more cen- tralized than in France or England. He expects to see the government working independently, above and KRR KR KRR KKK K] S VICTOR IN CHOICE OF MEN TO CONDUCT CAMPAIG.

He discovers two great armies in the land, one in uniform, under arms, fighting. The other in plain clothes, or overalls, at bench and lathe, work- ing. The government’s agent, the general staff, commands both and co- ordinates their efforts, Phrough their All-Russian Zemstvo Union, their All-Russian Municipality their central committee, their war industry committees, their co-op- erative societies and kindred organi- zations, Russian plain people and Russian gentry are working hand in hand, collaborating with the govern- ment and army for the good of the country at large and for victory. People are Eager. Never before have the people shown such an-eagerness to do public ser- vice and never before have they dis- played such an aptitude for it. No one here makes any secret of these things. I have talked to many people high and low and the facts which I have attempted to set down in this series of articles are recog- nized as showing the new trend in Russia. “War hardens, but war educates,” said Wagner. And it “lifts the minds of the masses to higher visions.” One can see it working out here in Rusisa, even with the naked eye. The people have demanded to be put to work for the public good. Jobs have been given them, they have set to work and already they love it.

Hundreds of bathers are at Diamond Point every day. A. A.
