CENTRAL RUSSIA
LIES BIIECTLT 111
PITH OF GERMANS
WASHINGTON, D- C„ July 26.
“Central Russia, which lies just be
fore the advancing German lines, was
the cradle of the empire, the seat of
the Great Russians, and it is today the
heart of the greatest .state, where are
the largest cities of the Slavs and the
historic places' dearest to the patriots
devoted to pan-Slavism,” begins the
war primer just issued by the National
Geographic Society, which deals with
the characteristics and the people of
the rich, immemorial Slavonian home
land, that the Russians are desperately
preparing to defend. “Notwithstand
ing Kiel's claim to recognition as the
‘mother of Russian cities,’ it is to the
story of the sturdy Great Russian stock
that one must turn to learn the details
of the empire’s building. The Musco
vite, or Great Russian, freed the land
from the Tartar yoke; subdued many
neighboring nations; and, as a good
colonizer, peopled the length and the
breadth of his possessions with his
stock.
“Russian history from the 14th cen
tury centers around ‘white-stoned’ Mos
cow, and from this center successive
swarms of colonists and pioneers have
sought homes in the northern forests,
in the fertile southlands, and in far,
Siberia. Prolific, persevering, patient,
persistent in their type, and with as
tounding reserves of recuperativfe
power, the Muscovites have impressed
their government, their faith, their lan
guage and their ambitions on the na
tion. and they, alone of the Slavonians,
have created an enduring world power.
Today the Great Russians number far
more than the White and Little Rus
sians combined, and the Muscovfitie
pioneer tarries Great Russian with him
wherever he goes. The original of the j
Great Russian is found in the basin of
the river Oka, which joins the Volga at
Nishni Novogorod. Here is the most
developed and most populous district
in all the empire.
“Central Russia is a vast plain, op
pressive in its horizons, its same
ness of coloring, and in the monot
ony of its life. It is crossed by great,
sluggish rivers,,with red banks. Its
fields reach to the horizon lines, un
fenced, vivid green in spring, greyish
brown in summer, and unbroken white
in winter. Its forests are of birch and.
pine. Its villages are all alike, and all
the houses in a village are alike. A vil
lage is a straight, abominable street,
two rows of houses; a white orthodox
church, and a sign-post with the name
o: the place and its number of ‘souls.’
In the street are pigs, geese, garbage
and fair-haired children. The huts are
simple, and are filled to one-fourth
their area by monster white stoves,
the first aids to Russian life, in whost
ovens the peasants bake and take
steam baths, and upon whose upper
surfaces they sleep in winter.
“Although an important manufacture
has grown up in Central Russian cities |
as in Moscow and Txer, the Great Rus-,
sians are still primarily an agricul
tural people. The first choice of the'
Slav is the working of land. In sum- ■
mer, he and his family work barefoot J
in the fields; in winter, he banks his
hut with earth and straw halfway to (
the windows, hermetically seals it, and
passes an idle, suffocating season in
company with his stove, his cattle and
his home is generally insect- ridden.
The peasants are capable of tremen
dous energy, though, in the rule, they
do not over-rate time’s value. They;
have many delightful virtues, but cou
pled with a grave tendency to be dis-;
honest. ‘Everybody steals,’ according
is a candid and reckless proverb of I
their minting, ‘except Christ —and He
would if His hands were not nailed to
the Cross.’ In this connection it Is 1
only fair to note that the peasant re
gards it almost as a righteous thing to
‘convey* from the state or from an
owner of the upper classes.
“The peasants possess an infinite ap
petite for receiving, though thankful
ness is not a besetting sin among them.
They are tolerant, hospitable and
shrewdly practical, and on the other
hand, they are heedless of the modest
claims of truth and very improvident.
They have a proverb: ‘Beat your wife
like your fur, but love her like your
soul.’ However, Great Russian home
life runs a more untroubled course,
probably, than in many lands more
utterly satisfied with their degree of
civilization. When not drunk, the
peasant is generally mild, peaceful and
well-wishing. When under the inspir
ation of vodka, he often falls into fear
ful passions, becoming elemental and
dangerous. It is upon these peasants
of Great Russia that a large part of
the duty of defending the fatherland
must fall.”
NDRWAV ABJEGT
111 REFUSING TO
WHITS
CHRISTIANIA, July 26.—The Nor
wegian press and people are daily be
coming more incensed over German
acs of aggression against Norway. On
ly a few days ago German u-boats in
the Arctic ocean, off the Norwegian
coast and outside the “danger zone”
attacked small motor fishing boats,
fishing for the Germans and therefore
provided with German outfit, sank sev
eral in the open sea with small chance
for the crews to be saved, and in oth
ers destroyed the motors and every
thing on board, seized what they need
ed of provisions, instruments and gold,
leaving the craft helpless.
Nobody understands w’hat benefit
these acts can be to the great war —to
destroy people working for the benefit
of Germany itself. The foreign minis
ter has sent some messages and pro
tests to Berlin without obtaining a
satisfactory explanation. And in these (
very fishing districts German agents
are buying all the Norwegian fish they.
can, according to the agreement with
the government. German boats sail’
I safely inside the territorial waters of
Norway, guided by Norwegian pilots
with their cargoes of fish and provis
| ions for Germany.
At the same time from all over Nor->
way come reports of arrests of alleged i
German spies who are sent across the'
Norwegian border. Norwegian citi
zens are being convicted by the courts
in Bergen as paid spie sfor the Ger
man government and sentenced to im
prisonment for not more than six
months, although it is proved that their
information to the Germans regarding
the sailings of Norwegian ships has
caused these vessels to be torpedoed
and some of the crews to be killed. In
these cases the court acted according
to the law’. The whole nation was
I struck aghast that this crime against
ithe country should not be punished
' severely. The Germans involved were
were acquitted.
Os the Norw’egians jailed, two were
captains on route steamers between
Newcastle and Bergen, who had been
paid to report to the German espionage
control in Bergen everything they saw
in England and on their way between
England and Norway.
The espionage control was establish
ed, it is charged by the Antarctic ex- )
plorer, Lieut. Filchner, who before the
' war. has been very kindly received
everywhere in Norway, had been the
guest of the Geographical society, and i
who now’ used his knowledge to plot
against this country, draw Norwegian
men in his net and make them traitors
to their own country. The whole press
condemned Filchner. The whole na-.
tion felt ashamed and dishonored by
this case, remembering the way the
Swedish Baron von Rosen, with his an
thrax and glanders bacilli in sugar
was treated by Norwegian authorities
and the way a German proved spy.
I Baumeister. also was allowed peace
fully to go back to Germany.
I In the legislature it was strongly
demanded that the police authorities
and the department of justice, here
after should see that the nation was
'ridden of such German pests.
And in spite of all this, in spite of
the nearly unanimous demand to stop
export of anything the country needs
for its own citizens, the fish export to
! Germany still is going on and the ex
port of home made farm products and
canned milk is not stopped, although
the prospects for the people in the
coming fall and winter are worse than
' ever.
Why the government, which week at-)
j ter week suffers humiliations at the
hands of the Germans has not stopped)
[all export to Germanj’ until satisfac-J
tion is given, is regarded here as a
mystery. A great many anti-socialists J
agree with the socialists who criticize
the government for having spent
$100,000,000 in three years on the
neutrality guard. The socialists say
lit would have been better to use this
money to relieve the high cost? of liv
ing, asserting that the naval and army
' defense is in too poor a condition to
be of any use and that the money is
wasted. Other citizens who believe in
armament for defense of the coun
try now ask, with the socialists, what
the country has obtained for the SIOO.-
000,000. They indignantly declare that
more than 400 Norwegian vessels have
been destroyed, with the loss of 500
'sa’lors by the acts of a so-called
j “friendly” nation, that no excuse nor
satisfaction has been given for any of
the numerous violations of the inter
national law; that Norwegian sailors
have been murdered in the life boats;
money and private trinkets on board
Norwegian ships stolen by German of
ficers and taken to Germany; Norwe
gian government vessels in coast traf
fic in Norwegian waters seized and
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
taken as prizes to German ports; and
that rot a shot has been fired from a
Norwegian gun to defend Norwegian
rights, not a Norwegian boat nor a
Norwegian sailor has been allowed to
fight for his life. Meantime, they add,
the country which has spent SIOO,-
] 000,000 is threatened by famine of food
and fuel during the coming winter.
Such criticism as the foregoing can
be read every day in the most prom
inent papers of the country and heard
wherever two Norwegians speak of the
.situation, but the leading men in the
cabinet seem not to listen to public
' opinion or to be unwilling to sustain
' the national pride. The newspaper Ti
desn Tegn, in an editorial the other
day, criticizing the political line of
Norway’s government has .followed,
said:
“There is something w’orse than
war and its disasters and that is when
a nation loses its self-respect—the
Norwegian government these days’is
in danger of that. ’
ATLANTA GIVEN CLEAN
MORAL BILL OF HEALTH
ATLANTA, Ga., July 26.—Govern
ment investigators have given At
lanta a clean bill of health concerning
morals in their report to a commis
sion appointed by Secretary Baker to
make a survey of conditions in cities
where cantonments have been located
for training recruits of the selective
service army.
According to reports reaching here
of the nature and contents of their
report, the investigators declare that
very little whiskey is sold in Atlanta,
that the city has no segregated district
and that the disreputable hotels of the
cheaper class have been reported to the
police authorities and will be put out
of business.
Uncle Sam is going to compel the
clean-up of every community w’here
soldiers are trained in the great can
tonments, and is going to keep them
clean. Atlanta has the advantage of
being exceptionally clean to start
with, and whatever additional work is
necessary will be done by the local
authorities with federal aid.
