Y Sarena Ol wa By Upton Sinclair (Copyright, 1926, by Upton Sinciair) Vit Early in the year, while America was getting into the war, the people of Russia had overthrown their Tsar and set up” republic. That had pleased most people in America; it was muc: pleasanter to be allied with a republic. But now, in the fall, cam a terrifying event; there was another revolution, this time no’ made by respectable scholars and business men, but by wild-eye fanatics called ‘“‘Bolshevikis,” who proceeded to confiscate prop-= erty and smash things up. At once it became apparent what calamity this was going to mean for the allies; Russia was goin) to desert them, and the mass of the Germans on the East woul be set free to be hurled against the half-exhausted Western fron Already the Russian armies were going to pieces, the soldier were deserting wholesale and swarming back to the cities or t their villages; at the same time the leaders of the new govern4 ment were starting a world-wide propaganda attacking the allies); and ‘their war-aims, . i Who were these leaders? It was enough for America to noted that a horde of them, who had been hiding in Switzerland, i loaded into a sealed train by the German government and escorte: across Germany and dumped into Russia to make all the trouble they could. That meant Lenin and his crowd were hired agent, of the Hun; when they proceeded to attack what they call “allied imperialism,” that was the Kaiser’s voice speaking Russianj and when they published the secret treaties of the allies, takeny from the archives of the Tsar, the newspapers in America disq missed the documents as obvious forgeries, 3 ry Dad, as a good American, believed his newspapers. He conw sidered that this “Bolsheviki revolution” was the most terribl event that had happened in the world in his life-time; his faci would grow pale as he talked to Bunny about it. America coul get no army to France until next spring, and perhaps not till fall and meantime the Germans had a ‘million men they could move, only a few hundred miles across their country to the West fron’ they were jist a-going to roll over the British and French, an take Paris, and perhaps the whole of France, and we should ha the job of-driving them out again. The whole burden of t war now fell onto America’s shoulders, and it would last yea and years—neither Dad nor Bunny might live to see the end of,ityy 7 Dad would read paragraphs out of the papers, details of the. horrors that were happening in Russia—literally millions of peo ple slaughtered, all the educated and enlightened ones; the mo hideous tortures inflicted, such obscenities as you could not p into print. Before long they began applying their Communist theories to the women of the country, who were “nationalized” and made into public property by official decree; the “commis- sars” were raping them wholesale. Lenin was killing Trotsky; and Trotsky was throwing Lenin into jail. It was a boiling up: from the bottom of the social pit, such savagery as we had hardly; dreamed existing in human nature, Bunny could see now the. folly of that “idealism” he had been prattling, his idea of letting? strikers have their way, and turning industry over to the mob,’ Here was the thing tried out in practice, and how did he like it Bunny had to admit that he didn’t like it so well, and he was: crushed and sobered. The problem caane home to him, because he had to decide as to his own duty in this world crisis. This was his last year in school; then he would be old enough for the draft, and what was he going todo? He and his father talked it out in a solemn con- ference. Dad thought that he had responsibilities enough to en- title him to the help of one son; he didn’t think he would be a slacker if he were to get Mr. Carey to release Bunny for service in the oil industry. But Bunny insisted that he must go to the front; he even talked of quitting school at once and enlisting as a number of other boys had done. They finally agreed to com- promise, waiting till Bunny was through school, and then see how matters shaped up.” But meantime Bunny owed this much to his country, as well as to himself—he should give more time to his studies, and less to playing about. If a young fellow really un- derstood this world crisis, he would surely stick to whatever work he was doing, and not throw himself away in dissipation. Bunny, flushed and let his eyes fall, and said he guessed that was true, and he’d do better in the future. Ix He went to Eunice in his mood of high seriousness, to explain how the burden of the task of saving civilization had failen upon their shoulders. She told him yes, she had been realizing it, she had just been gotting a serious talk from her mother, who had explained that there was going to be a shortage of food and all kinds of materials, as a result of the war and the needs of our allies. The club-ladies had decided upon their duty—they would purchase only the most expensive kinds of food, so as to leave the lard and cabbage and potatoes for the poor; Mrs. Hoyt had given away all her clothing to the Salvation army, and spent a small fortune buying a complete outfit of the most costly things she could find. Eunice was of course quite willing to use only luxuries, but found it a little puzzling, because her Aunt Alice took just the opposite view, and had bought herself a lot of cheap things, in order to set an example to the working classes, Which did Bunny think was right? ~ But this sober mood did not last long with Eunice. A couple of days later she was invited to.a Belgian orphans’ ball, and when Bunny insisted that he had to study, she threatened to go with Billy Chalmers, the handsome captain of last year’s football team—there was no team this year. Bunny said all right, and so Eunice flaunted Billy in front of the whole school, and there were rumors that he was parking his car with her, and that Bunny's nose was out of joint. This went on for a week or two, until Bunny’s heartache was more than he could stand. It was Sat- urday night—and Dad had granted that it wouldn’t be wrong to | go to one dance a week; so he phoned Eunice, and they “made it up” with tears and wild gusts of passion, and she declared that she had never really really loved anyone but her Bunny-bear, and how could he have been so wicked as to refuse to please her? But then came Christmas, and the shrewd and presistent Dad arranged a series of temptations—a big turkey, and Ruth to cook it, and two new wells coming in, to say nothing of the quail calling over the hills at sunset. Bunny promised, and simply had to go; and Eunice had the most terrible of all her tantrums, she grabbed Bunny by the hair and pulled him about her mother's drawing room with her mother standing helpless by; she owed that Bunny was a four-flusher, and a wretch, and she would ring up Billy Chalmers, and they would go off on a joy-ride that very night, and not come back till the Christmas holidays were over and maybe not then, 12 “nwa ier
