w F EVERY house in Cordova had a cistern, and all the jj
I water in Cordova was in those cisterns, scattered over the |j
1 town of what use would that water be in case of Are? ^
I Very little indeed, but if all that water was in one large J
reservoir properly piped it would be of immense value as B
Are protection.
In the same way if every person in Cordova had a hundred j
or a thousand dollars in his pocket, of what use is it in pro- jj
motlng business in Cordova? Very little if at all, but if it is ^
all deposited in the banks of Cordova a fund is created of suf- B
Acient amount to be of very great value in developing the busi- gf
11 ness of the community. I

The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
GERMANY AFTER
THE RESOURCES
OF RUSSIA
(Continued from Page Two )
down-fall to the Japanese treaty, but
this Is another story.
“I was speaking of the sentiment
of Russia toward America. I made
every effort during my stay In Russia
to bring the two countries closer to
gether. After Sazanolf expressed in
such a positive way that Russia would
not negotiate a new commercial
treaty with the United States, I turn
ed my attention to promoting com
merce between the two countries— the
denunciation of the treaty had not in
terferred with our International com
mercial relations. A large portion of
the commerce between this country
and Russia was transacted through
England and much larger portion
through Germany; it was the custom
of American firms who wished to sell
their wares to Russia to establish
agencies in Germany fbr that purpose.
I made effort to promote direct com
mercial relations; not only encourag
ing American exporters and Russian
purchasers to make acquaintance but
even before leaving America had a
conference with president of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, Mr.
Carlton, with whom I was personally
acquainted and suggested or urged the
laying of a direct cable between the
American and Russian coasts.
“I even went so far after my arrival
in Russia as to obtain the consent of
the Russian government to defray half
the cost of the cable which was esti
mated at that time to be about six mil
lion dollars. As the state department
said they had no objection to my sub
mitting a proposition to the Western
Union Telegraph Company inasmuch
as our government was not at that
time interested in or controlling public
utilities, I wrote Mr. Carlton of the
agreement secured from the Russian
government, stating futhermore that
Russia besides furnishing half of the
cost of the cable would be willing to
lease it to the Western Union Com
pany for operation and would accept
as its portion of the rental six per cent
interest on its investment; but the
reply was that the Western Union or
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Company, which owned the Western
Union could not see its way clear to
join In the enterprise. My recollec
tion, moreover, is that I wrote Mr.
Carlton that If the cable would not
pay operating expenses in the begin
ning or for several years thereafter,
I thought the Russian government
would be willing to forego its interest.
I cannot recall at this time whether
Mr. Carlton made any reply to my last
letter or treated the proposition as
closed.
At any rate, i piauueu
project again but was prevented by
the March, 1917 revolution which I
was delighted to welcome. It meant
not only the overthrow of an absolute
monarchy and the liberation of the
great masses of the Russian people
but the removal of a great impediment
to our entering the war—that was the
making a co-belligerent or ally of an
absolute autocracy. The revolution
began twenty-one days. before Presi
dent Wilson delivered his memorable
address to congress April 2, 1917,
recommending that a state of war be
declared to exist with Germany. Ten
days before the revolution began, how
ever, and seven days after the provi
sional government was formed, 1 was
the first ambassador or chief of mis
sion'to recognize their government and
did so by authority of our government
forty-eight hours before the recogni
tion by England, France and Italy who
had been allies of Russia for many
months.”
After two years and eight months
of strenuous service in Russia, during
a portion of which time he was the
only allied chief of mission in that
country, Ambassador Francis was con
veyed by the cruiser Olympia from
Archangel to a Scottish port. During
the journey, which was tempestuous
and fatiguing through Arctic waters,
the armistice was signed. After re
maining 15 or 20 days in the United
States naval hospital at StrathpeRer,
Scotland, he went to London where he
underwent a major operation. Mr.
FranciB’ nervous system was very
much weakened.
He returned with the President on
the steamer George Washington .and
after testifying before the Overman
committee of the senate on Bolshe
vism, spent two months at White Sul
phur Springs, W. Va., going thence to
Rye Beach. He has not yet visited
his' home city, St. Louis.
When asked about his future plans
the ambassador replied that he was
waiting for orders from the state de
partment. He is rapidly regaining his
health and his physician says the op
eration was entirely successful.
