RUSSIANS ALIVE
TO NEEDS OF
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 31. —
Americans, Englishmen, Frenchmen
returning through this neutral gate
way from the wide domains of Russia,
all tell the same story of the wonder
ful awakening of the great northern
empire, commercially and civilly as
well as in the gathering of military
resources to carry the yar to a sue
cessful conclusion.
Americans in particular seem most
deeply impressed with the changed
conditions in Russia, and are the most
sanguine as to the future of that coun
try. They say there is something akin
to the old call of the west in the fast
opening opportunities and the wide
reaching resources of Russia, which
sends an anxious tingle through the
veins of every American business man
or prospector who has delved into
Russian conditions as they exist to
day, and who is farsighted enough to
see the prosperity that is in store
for the Russian people.
It may be one of the anomalies of
an anomalous period in history that
barbarous war shall teach a people of
180,000,000 souls the ways and the
benefits of real civilization and en
lightenment. And yet that is what
American travellers in Russia all agree
Is taking place. Many thousands of
lives are >'et to be sacrificed at the
Austrian and German fronts, but it
is now agreed that there will come
back from the firing lines an army of
millions of men trained, disciplined
schooled at least partially in the laws
of hygiene and righ living, educated
in a degree beyond anything contem
plated a few years ago, well fed, well
clothed and ready to take their allot
ted place in the commercial upbuild
ing of the empire and the civic up
building of the people.
