AND BAILEY HAVE NO CHANCE AS NEW SOUL IS BEING BORN IN MASSES OF THE AWAKENING MUSCOVITE PEOPLE SovietMismanagementStirsPeas- ants to Break Chain of Tyranny More Rigid Than Czar's By JOHN CLAYTON By Cable to Saa Antonle Erenlnc Xews and Chlotfo Tribune. Copyright, 192ft, by Chicago Trlbaoe. PARIS, June has fizzled out in Russia. After two and a half years of supernormal effort and military successes which have amazed the world, the Communist bouse of cards is tottering before the threats of the vast masses of the Russian people. Out of the soil itself is springing a new soul of the Russian nation, young and unafraid, and exalting in its strength.

Three years ago the Czar was overthrown, six later the Communists-- th radical elements of toe old Russian Social Democratic party seized the power. They promised the workman comfort, power and ownership of all property. They promised him shorter hours and a better home. They promised him sufficient food to do more than keep body and soul together. They promised the peasants land and the right to retain all tocy trlsb of their own products.

They promised more--a sort of heaven on earth, where mea could live In peace together-where the Won could lie down with the lamb. Two nnd a half years of bloodshed and starvation have dragged over the heads of the Itnsslan people. They see themselves further from their ideal than ever. They Bee the leaders who promised such freedom ruling with a dasfi such as the Czar would not have dared use. They hear Lenlne repudiate equal rights as nonsense and sentimentallsm.

They see the irorkers 1 government rotten to the core and a new tyranny passed over tnem to gratify men's lust for power. They Bee men conscripted for a labor army which Is making futile efforts in distant provinces. They see their skilled workers militarized and subject to the whims of a commissioner who is trying to solve from the standpoint of an Idealist the practical problems of rebuilding the nation. The peasants see their products taken by bands of conscript sellers, many of them aliens, and nothing sriven in return. They see their fathers, brothers, lovers and friends butchered in defense of their own property.

They see their land lie fallow, their children sicken and die, while the leaders of their government live ID comfort in their palaces In Moscow. The sleeping giant of Russia is awakening. Soon he will shrng his shoulders, stretch himself and prepare for his day of labor. And when he does those petty tyrants who hare fastened on him have soUKbt to bind him -with their flimsy cords of impossible Ideals and doctrinal fanatical tyranny, will scamper or be stepped upon. The people themselves cut the strongest cords of czarlsm and autocracy which bound Kassla to earth.

While he yet was sleeping his tyrants- came upon him. Bui now be Is looking outward and upward to uis new dny of democracy. He is a new Russia. He Is a Riant who must be led i be has learned to guide steps alone. Bnt he will not be driven by tyrants.

BEXAR COUNTY DELEGATE RETURNS FROM CHICAGO I refer to the woman who follows to share the fortunes anil Cute of the Mexican soldier. Unlettered fettered as to other a the i a of her pant, the serfdom of her present and the a of her future, i as to Lvgk-ne aud incredibly degraded as to everv item in tbe catalog of American civilization, yet these poor wom- cii are i in their acquiescence to decrees. On this train alone are more than 500 cavalrymen. The convoy contains 24 cars, not I i Gen.

Amaro's reconstructed passenger coach uuU the water and oil tank cars adjoining the engine. Twelve of the cars are cattle cars loaded with horses. Four box cars also contain mounts. Six refilled with troop supplier, such as blan kets, saddles, fodder, ammunition and the miscellaneous equipment of tho Mexican army. The other two arc converted bor cars for the Ucnc.ro! Staff, telegraph operators, other officers and their female companions.

And yet Ibis train, with every car thus accounted for, carries more than 1,400 people. Where Is the multitude accommo- datedi That Is one of the marvels of Mexican military transportation. These iXX) soldiers, their 500 women and a .100 others travel In a leisurely maa- jjcr. Tliey USD tops of cars, on planks tied the rods, on tbe trucks, on the cow t-atchfr, on the eliuk's made of Cora--shucks and a between the cars and on shelves made of lumber between tbe a of the tattle cars over the backs of horses. The tops of the cars loot like a Bering of i Islands whose every available inch Is covered with wlgwatus.

They build tiny out of guns, blankets and twine fastened to the edge of the roofs. There they live and cook and eat. Above, below and all about are of clothing, boxes of such simple food as the faml- lleri eat--beans, corn, chile and onions--babies, chickens, dogs and even i pigs. When the train is In motion a remarkable bedlam of sounds and smells and tights endue. Arriving at the evening's stopping place, the i disappear suddenly only to reappear a moment later on the right of way, nnd all parts of tbe train begin to disgorge i a freight--men leap to the ground with a yell, the women toss babies to them and then climb awkwardly dt.wn the ladders.

The men are hard and cruel, both to their horses a to their women, who are subdued nnd uncomplainingly submissive. Something displeases the lord and master; there Is a string of vicious oaths, a cowering woman, a niotv. nnd a head and bowed shoulders, a pause nnd the i a echo of oaths, her strangled sobs-and a a i for supper go on. The women nurse the screaming babies, fnsten them to the smnll of their backs with a siiawl, papoose fasniau, bend over their tasks and croon lullabies to tbe infants. No matter bow far the objective, bow the road, bow hot the sun, tbe women manage to come straggling in iu time to cook the meal.

If along that load motherhood Its claims on one of them two or three drop out of the caravan, help perform th? aboriginal obstetrics, and in an hour or fio mother and new baby get up and follow the distant throngs. A FTEK hearing further testimony by witnesses for the prosecution In the trial of Capt, James P. Yanccy, Cavalry United States Army, before a conrt-n. tial at Fort Sim Houston on a charge of killing four Mexicans taken prisoner in the punitive expedition into Mexico last August, the court adjourned yesterday aft ernoon to meet again at 1:30 o'clock today.

Elliott, 30th Infantry, counsel for the defense, brought out the fact that Kllpatrlck had not been on good terms with-some of the forces stationed near his home. Kllpatriclc also elated under cross- examination that an adverse report concerning the punitive expedition in question tad been circulated' by a member of his family.
