of the main contentions of the extremists of the Russian revolution concerns the self-governing rights of the states, large and' small, -which make up the empire. I met no one In Russia who did not agree that each, one of the states had a right to local autonomy, but I met manv who feared greutly lest the empire be dismembered and should tall apart into a number of email.

In the newspapers of June old stple appeared a telegram from Tomsk to Minitfr- ter-Presldent Ksrensky, rhe minister of justice and the all-Russian council of deputies, soldiers and workmen then In session In Petrograd. The telegram was sent by commanding general of loyal regiments and it read in part thus: 'Criming and mutinous soldiers In company with! other criminal elements of the population have organized into bands and have set themselves systematically to pillage and assassination. Under the flag; of anarchy they have looted the banks, the shons, business houses ot all kinds. They were prepared to murder all heads of public and declared that they would next move on to other towns and olt(os and continue their robberies there." The telegram went into more particulars of theae outrages, and closed by say- Ing that martial law had been established In Tomsk on the 3d of June.

"The right of small peoples to govern themselves" is one of the easiest gospels In the world to preach. As a principla it is not even debatable. In practice, however, it very often Is far from expedient or practicable.

But the recently liberated Russians, each separate language and racial group smarting from remembered inflicted by the old government, took flre with the idea of self-government and every corner of Russia are found provinces, governments, even cities repudiating the central government and setting up republics of their own. Provisional governments were created last summer in provinces of Siberia in the rich province of Ukrania. in the town of Oronstadt, in the Siberian towns of Tnmsk and Tsaritsine, and In a number of other localities. Finland very early started an agitation for a separate government, and only the closing of the diet and. the prevention by armed force of the convening of a new diet stood in the way of a socialist manifesto of separation.

The socialists are the majority partv in the diet, and they counted on the of enough peonle in the three "bourgeois" parties--the Swedish, old Finnish -ind young Finnish parties--to carry their measure thru. Every one of these attempts at seces- was maikeil by -ind "excesses of every kind.

Once a band of looters sacking a warehouse were arrested by the militia police after a lively shooting match and put in Jill.

Cases where the militia actually arrested thieves were so rare in Russia last summer that this one received considerable newspaper publicity. The papers were obliged to rucoid that, a few hours after the men were arrested, a crowd of armed soldiers and sailors demande.d their demands were the liberation, of. the prisoners.

Meantime authorities are awaiting for resentment in the doctor's home county to subside before returning him there for preliminary examination.
