The Herman drive into Russia and I lit*
peace treaty signed l»> the Rolsheviki
have brought back to Vologda some of
the importnn e which if had in the
day-, ol Peter tile Hreat.
When fin- American ambassador.
David it Francis, selected Vologda
for the site of his embassy staff
sia during the period when Petrograd
was threatened by Herman occupation,
the little city took on new life
■ Prices of foodstuffs soared and. as
more Americans came to the city, the
rooms were at such a premium that
some members of tin* embassy staff
were forced to use for several weeks
their train berths as sleeping quar
ters.
The only quarters which could be
found by Consul Treadwell for the
American consulate were rooms In a
huge barn like hotel known as the
Hermitage, which was full of Herman
prisoners and Russian soldiers.
The consulate's room was just across
the hall from the Herman prisoners’
headquarters, hut some of these pris
oners apparently did not know that ■
America was in the war. Some of
them came into the consulate the first
day it opened and asked if the Amer
icans were still handling the matter |
of prisoners’ relief
The embassy was made welcome and
a huge wooden struc ture formerly used i
as a merchants’ club was turned over
for its use
^ Vologda, in the days of Peter thel
Hreat. was one of the most inpor
tant cities in Russia. It is the head
of navigation of the* Volgada river.,
which empties into the Arctic at
Archangel, and for centuries the ships
of the* Kuropean traders sent theirj
• cargoes to Russia by this route
Peter the Hreat lived in Vologda
for several years and built here the
nucleus of the first Russian navy.
After the building of Petrograd. Vol
ogda lost most of Its importance,
though river steamers still ply be
tween here and Archangel.
Vologda is the junction of the Vladl
vostok-Petrograd and the Archnngel
Moscow railway lines and was select
ed as the embassy site because of its
transportation conveniences.

When the Hermans < aught him he was

had; him to a hospital where, without
the use of anesthetic*, they cut off

pieces of hone from his mangled wrist.
They sale! that they had no anesthet

wounded soldiers. Kossfter showed me
what is left of his hand If isn’t
much, and what is left is of no use. ex
cept as a reminder of that Herman
surgeon who operated without giving
an anesthetic.
While Kosslter was in Hermatiy he
was moved about from one prison

more than a few weeks In the year
that he was there.* he* was in nine* dif

parts ot Hermany On each trip the
train that was tnmsferrring these wan

time the train stopped and told pec#
pie that the prisoners were* all new
ones—just taken! Kosslter says that I

years. It got to he like a theatrical!
troupe playing one-night stands—
only far more boresotne. for the pris
oners were never allowed to leave the !
trains or to communicate with the
crowds that came to see them. Hos
slier says that one company of Brit
ish artillery "takes the palm" for
touring Germany In the guise of new
prisoners. They were captured In the
fall of 1914 and are still playing to
packed houses.
"in other words—to fool the people
is Germany's policy. Bismarck be
lieved In that Idea He once said that
it Is impossible to overestimate the
stupidity of the human race. No doubt
the kaiser feels Just as contemptuous
about us. In his mind, men are noth

to he used to push hack boundary lines
This war Is for the purpose of pre
venting human beings from becoming
as bonehead as the German emperor
would like them to he It Is a war
against the thick skull On one side
are those great nations whose policy
is to teach the people to think for
themselves. On the other is the Ger
man autocracy, which says: "Believe
what I tell you "Imagine trying to
"get by" the New York Times or the
Chicago Tribune or the Cleveland
Press with that kind of flubdub. .
