When the Germans landed troops in Finland and began their advance on Helsingfors where/| nearly the' entire ‘Russian Baltic fleet was stationed at’ the '‘time, Capt. Schastny, with the personnel of the fleet reduced to one third and none of the ships being ready to put to sea, was given command and requested by the sailors to do his best to.transfer the fleet to Kronstadt and thus save it from falhng into the hands of the Germans. ~ For a while- the sailors thought they: would be -unable to move the fleet from Helsingfors in time 'and had begun to make prepara- tions to blow it up. 'When the Ger- ‘|mans 'heard of their plan they pub- lished a proclamation stating that the blowing up of the Baltic fleet by the ‘Russian sailors: would mean the execution of as many of them as may be captured.

The Ninth District occupies a very enviable position among the districts of this great country. The Ninth Dis- trict must retain this position. . In order to do so, there must be put forth a united, wholehearted effort “of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people.” QUARTET OF ALLIES FOR LIBERTY.

Under ‘the able and brilliant command of Capt Schastny this was accomplished in time.: When the Germans reached ' Helsingfors they found most of the Russian fleet gone. Some 3 months later ’l‘rot.sky, Bol- shevik 'war minister, called Capt. ‘I Schastny for an alleged conference to Moscow. As the captain entered Trotsky’s office, the latter walked cut summoned 2 red: gaurdsmen and ordered Schastny put’ under arrest. Trotsky accused Schastny of ‘en- gaging in counter revolutionary con- spiracies: against the . bolshevik government, of attempting to. rouse the sailors of the Baltic fleet, among whom ~ Schastny was very popular, to revolt against the -dictatorship ‘of Lenine and save Russia from German and other foreign domination. -~ Schastny was. put. on - trial secuting attorney., Trotsky was ‘the only witness. In'a dramatic, 3-hour speech he demanded the execution-of Scl&astny Among other things: he sald: < “Capt. Schastny' has preformed' a brave task, but like every counter revolutnomst, Capt. i hastny had the right to engage in.counter revolution- ary conspiracies -against the Sovit government. He had no right to play with the fate of the fleet.” A sailor in ‘the courtroom could not stand for the latter. .= “How about your pka}ymg with ithe fate of Russia?” He cried. Capt. Schastny, Russian pat¥iot, republican and saviour of the Baltic fleet, was executed. His last words were: “One must know how to die brave- ly in a revolution.” A few weeks prior to the execution of Capt. Schastny another man, high in' the councils-of - the Bolshevik government, chief commissary of the Baltic fleet, was also on trial. His name is Dibenko. He was accused of cowardice, drunkeness and conduct unbecoming a revolutionary leader. At the trial it was proved' that when sent-at the head. of a detachment of 2,000 Baltic sea sailors to' stop.the Germa ~advance on Narva, in Feb- urary, he .got drunk and ran away, leavin s men -in the ‘lurch. Such cowardice is certainly punishable by death, especially by any self respect- ing revolutlonary government.. But Dibenko, the coward and drunkard, was a_ bolshevik. - He was found guilty and simply expelled from the bolshevik party. He is “alive to- day and is engagmg in silly bragg- adocio and in robber raids up and down the. Volga. Thus does bolshevik justice work. Capt. Schastny performed a brave task. He is dead. Dibenko was a coward and ran away, surrendering Narva to the Ger- mans. He is alive :and free.

M. Baker: a Parkersburg shoemaker, sojourning here. Baker was haled into court charged with drunkenness. In extenu- ation of his fall from the water wagon, he said: “Judge, I'm in hard luck. I mashed my finger and haven’t been able to work- for three weeks; my wife has had three strokes and has to be operated on for a cataract on her eye; the gas bill is due Wednesday and the rent is due today. If youll let me go I'll go right home, for I ought to have been there long ago.” “Ten and costs,” saild the obdurate judge. HOSTESS TO KNITTERS.
