 As among the Selauons, as ſayth Ariſtotle in . And hée telleth the reaſon why, & ſayth, That in cold Countries, the Mothers of women be diſpoſed to conceiue ſuch children. Therefore they beare children with white ſkinnes, that haue long, yeolowe, ſoft, and ſtraight haire. The contrarie is in hot countries. Where women beare children that haue blacke cripſe and little haire, as in the Negroes Countrie. Then colde ſheweth it ſelfe in the bodie, that colde hath the maſtery within. For in the bodies that colde hath the maſterie ouer, the coulour is white, the haire ſoft and ſtraight, the wit hard and forgetful, little appetite, much ſléep, heauie in going and ſlow, as ſaith ''Conſtantinus. li. 1. Chap.''17. This ſhall not alway be vnderſtood to be in euery colde néedelye, but in compariſon to the complection of the heate, that hath maſtery, and in proportion of the hot land to the colde region, authours ſay theſe things, and haue lefte them written in theyr bookes to them that come after. This that is ſayd ſufficeth of the properties of colde at this preſent time. For other properties be known to the contrary of that is ſaid afore of heate.

¶Of drought. Chap. 3.
ought is an Element quality paſſiue, able to ſuffer: and is brought in, now by heate, and now by colde. But it followeth more with heate then with colde. For drought is the file of heate. Drought is ſaide as it were without moiſture: For drought and moiſture be contrary. The principal effect of drought is to make drie: as the effect of moyſture is to make wet, and hath many ſecondarie effectes: as to make thicke, rough, and to cauſe ſlow mouing, to conſume, to deſtroy, and ſlay. And that propertie that drieth, draweth principallye the moyſt parts from the vtter partes, towarde the middle: And for that a moiſt thing ſhonlde not all to ſhedde the ſubſtaunce of it ſelfe by fleeting, drought putteth it ſelfe as it were a bounde, to lette the fleeting and ſhedding: As we ſee in Cliffes in the Sea brimmes, the drineſſe of the Grauell ſetteth abound to the Sea, and where the kindly drineſſe of the earth hath the maſterie: it ſuffereth not the ſleeting ſurges or violent waues of the Sea to paſſe any father, as ſaith ''Gregorie ſuper. Iob.''38. , &c. He hath ſet boundes about the waters, vntill the day and night come to an end. And Hierome ſuper Ieremy ſaith the ſame. , &c. Feare ye not me ſaith the Lord, or will you not be afraide at my preſence, which haue placed the ſande for the boundes of the Sea, by the perpetuall decree that it cannot paſſe it, and though the waters thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not paſſe ouer it. And the Philoſopher ſaith the ſame more plainely.

Then drines that is not perfectly bound in his alone equalitie, reboundeth and thickeneth the moiſt qualitie, that is in it ſuperfluous, faſtned and congeled, and is a ſtedfaſt héeding of the fléeting thereof. For drineſſe is the euill or enimy of heate, that is ſtirred vp by moouing, eyther by working, it diſſolueth and diſpearſeth the moiſture, or by ouerworking it conſumeth it altogethers, thus ſpread in the limmes, it draweth forth moiſtneſſe and humour, and maketh the body drie, and ſhriueleth the ſkinne together like a withered ſkinne.

Alſo drineſſe hath ſomtime moiſture: for if it mooueth towarde the middle, it conſtraineth and draweth the limmes togethers: And ſo by conſtraining the wetneſſe is wrongen out, the which before was ſhedde through the bodie, and ſo the bodye ſéemeth to be wet, that was before drie. Alſo we ſée vpon the kindlye drie hilles, hearbes growe that bée moiſt of kinde, as the hearbes that bée called Simbalaria, Vermicularia ,  , and other. And this is no wonder. For the drineſſe that taketh héede by kinde to ſaue the Hill, and kéepe it in his drineſſe, and that by drineſſe that is like thereto, and by the vertue attractiue, of drawing, it draweth too nouriſhing, and ſeedeth things that is drieng.

 "I met him (replied the officer), not many minutes ago, and told him where I was coming; but I could not prevail on him to give up a solitary walk he was going to take to the mountains."

"Oh, shocking! (cried Olivia) to prefer solitude to our society; I really shall not readily forgive his want of gallantry."

A pang of wounded pride and mortified tenderness now touched the heart of Madeline. She felt equally surprised and hurt to hear, that he had in reality no business to prevent his coming to see her; and that he had even refused an invitation to do so.—How ill did such conduct agree with the delight he had evinced the preceding evening at their unexpected meeting, with the anxiety he had expressed to see her again. The hopes, the expectations which that delight, that anxiety, had given rise to, and which his letter had damped, not suppressed, now entirely vanished like the fleeting pleasures of a dream; and she began to fear he

 had either feigned or forgotten the sentiments he expressed for her.

She saw she was observed by the Countess and Olivia with an earnestness that seemed to say they wished to develop her feelings; and she immediately forced herself into conversation; but never before was one so painful to her; her thoughts were perpetually wandering from the subject; and she rejoiced when the officers rose to depart.

The Countess then ordered her coach; and she and Madeline were just going to it, when M. Chalons (the gentleman who had wished to dance with Madeline the preceding evening) appeared: finding the ladies on the point of departing, he regretted the lateness of his visit, and paid his compliments in a manner so pleasing to the Countess, that she invited him to accompany her friends whenever they paid their promised visit at the chateau; an invitation which he accepted with rapture, and a glance to Made-

 line, as if he wished her to think the exquisite pleasure he derived from it, was owing to the idea of seeing her again.

His glance, however, was lost upon Madeline, so much was her mind engrossed by its own concerns; and the moment the carriage drove off, she forgot such a being existed.

The Countess's motives for hurrying Madeline back to the chateau, is perhaps already understood. She thought, indeed, she should ill fulfill the sacred trust reposed in her by Clermont, if she did not particularly enquire about the commencement, and try to discover the strength of the attachment it was so obvious his daughter entertained for de Sevignie, that she might be timely guarded against indulging it, till assured (if that was not already the case) that she never would have reason to repent it: and as she could not (at least without interruption) make those enquiries, or give those cautions

 she wished at Madame Chatteneuf's, she brought her away for the purpose of doing so.

"Well, Madeline (said the Countess, first breaking silence after they had proceeded a few yards), you were agreeably amused last night."

"Yes, madam," replied Madeline.

"And agreeably surprised," cried the Countess.

Madeline blushed, faltered, and at length answered in the affirmative.

"Will you oblige me (said the Countess), by giving me now a more particular account of your first acquaintance with Monsieur de Sevignie than you did this morning?"

Madeline wished to gratify her friend; and she thought she could do so without betraying the feelings of her heart; but this was a mistaken idea. As she described her

 first introduction to de Sevignie, and the scenes she had passed with him, she involuntarily revealed her sentiments: but while she discovered the tenderness of her heart, she so fully proved its simplicity and integrity, that she was rather raised than lessened in the esteem of the Countess.

When she had concluded,—"Your narrative, my dear (said her friend), convinces me more than ever of the innocence and sensibility of your disposition; and woe be to the man who should ever seek to beguile one, or pain the other!—That a being exists who could be capable of hurting either, perhaps you doubt; but, alas, I am sorry to say, too many are to be found who would little scruple doing so! 'Tis unpleasant to hold up objects of a disagreeable nature to the view of youth; yet 'tis necessary to do so, in order to instruct it whom to shun. They who have made a perilous voyage, would be inexcusable if they did not caution those they saw about

 undertaking the same, of the dangers which lay in their way, that, by being timely apprised, they might endeavour to shun or at least acquire skill to overcome them.

"I, my dear Madeline, have made this perilous voyage, and against its dangers I wish to warn you: to none is the young, the lovely, the inexperienced female so particularly exposed as to those which proceed from a sex, ordained by heaven for her protectors, but of whom too many seem to forget, or rather disregard their original destination. Yes, my love, there are beings who make it their study, sometimes their boast, to ensnare the unsuspicious, and entail shame and sorrow upon her who would never perhaps have known either, but for a too fatal confidence in their honour. Others there are of a nature scarcely less hateful to virtue or injurious to society, who from a mere impulse of vanity, seek to gain the affections, which are no sooner won than disregarded; while they triumph aloud over

 the credulity and weakness that afforded them such a conquest.

"That you have never met, never may meet, with such characters I believe and trust: but liable as we all are to be mistaken, too much caution cannot be observed in receiving attentions which have a chance of touching the heart. In short, my discourse has only been (as I make no doubt you already guess) to lead to the subject of the Chevalier de Sevignie; his eyes declare love and admiration, and his language I dare say accords with their glances: but oh, my dear Madeline, fortify yourself against such seductive eloquence, except convinced his intentions are serious; if they are, believe me they will be speedily divulged; if not, if his situation prevents their being so, he will quickly cease to be particular, except destitute of honour and sensibility; for the man who possesses these, though he may, from the impetuosity of passion, be unhappily led into expressions of admiration, will never persevere in a line of conduct that may

 inspire tenderness which cannot properly be returned."

"Your precepts, your advice, my dear madam (said Madeline), I will treasure up as I would the means of felicity: oh, how gratefully do I feel your kind solicitude about me."

By this time they had reached the chateau, and its gloom and stillness formed a melancholy contrast to the gaiety and splendour of the preceding evening, and increased the dejection of Madeline's spirits; a dejection partly owing to her conversation with the Countess. She was shocked to hear of the depravity of mankind; and shuddered least she should find de Sevignie one of the worthless characters the Countess had described to her. "Yet, no (she cried to herself, trying to dispel the horror such an idea gave rise to), 'tis impossible; vice could never lurk beneath an appearance of such integrity and candour."


text:

 She was unable to converse as usual with the Countess; and her friend was too delicate to notice her dejection, any otherwise than by an increased attention; an attention which at last had the desired effect. Madeline no sooner perceived the efforts made to amuse her, than she felt ashamed of the weakness which had rendered such efforts necessary, and rallied her spirits; she tried to cheer, to tranquillize them, by reflecting that, in a few days, in all probability she would again behold de Sevignie; and that, as she had been taught a criterion whereby to judge of him, her suspense relative to him must soon be terminated. So soothing was this idea, that almost as soon as conceived, it dissipated her melancholy; and she was again able to converse and enjoy the conversation of the Countess. She wrote to her father an account of her meeting with de Sevignie; but she could not bring herself to tell him the agitation that meeting occasioned. The Countess also informed him of it, and the observations she had made; but


text:

 charged him not to give way to uneasy sensations in consequence of them; assuring him that she would watch over Madeline as she would have done over her own daughter if she had been in a similar situation: and also that, from Madeline's disposition, she was convinced she could easily be made to give up the object of her affections, if once assured by prudence and experience greater than her own (because more tried), that he was unworthy of them.

Rh employers only when they “fail or refuse to hire,” “discharge,” “or otherwise ... discriminate against” someone because of a statutorily protected characteristic like sex. Ibid. The employers acknowledge that they discharged the plaintiffs in today’s cases, but assert that the statute’s list of verbs is qualified by the last item on it: “otherwise ... discriminate against.” By virtue of the word otherwise, the employers suggest, Title VII concerns itself not with every discharge, only with those discharges that involve discrimination.

Accepting this point, too, for argument’s sake, the question becomes: What did “discriminate” mean in 1964? As it turns out, it meant then roughly what it means today: “To make a difference in treatment or favor (of one as compared with others).” Webster’s New International Dictionary 745 (2d ed. 1954). To “discriminate against” a person, then, would seem to mean treating that individual worse than others who are similarly situated. See Burlington N. & S. F. R. Co. v. White, 548 U. S. 53, 59 (2006). In so-called “disparate treatment” cases like today’s, this Court has also held that the difference in treatment based on sex must be intentional. See, e.g., Watson v. Fort Worth Bank & Trust, 487 U. S. 977, 986 (1988). So, taken together, an employer who intentionally treats a person worse because of sex—such as by firing the person for actions or attributes it would tolerate in an individual of another sex—discriminates against that person in violation of Title VII.

At first glance, another interpretation might seem possible. Discrimination sometimes involves “the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually.” Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary 326 (1975); see also (, dissenting). On that understanding, the statute would require us to consider the employer’s treatment of groups rather than individuals, to see how a policy affects one sex as a whole versus the other as a whole. That idea holds some intuitive appeal

To the German people!

Since the Founding of the Empire it has been my and my ancestors effort for 43 years, to keep the peace in the world and to support our powerful development. But the enemies are jealous of the success of our work.

We have so far endured all the open and secret enmity from East and West, from across the sea, in the awareness of our responsibility and strength. But now they want to humiliate us. They demand, that we watch with crossed arms, how our enemies gear up for a treacherous raid, they don’t want to tolerate, that we are standing in determined loyalty to our ally, which fights about it’s reputation as a great power and with it’s humiliation also our power and honour is lost.

So now the sword must decide. In the midst of peace, the enemy attacks. So, rise up! To arms! Any dithering, any faltering would be treason to the Fatherland.

About being or not-being of our empire it’s about, that our fathers founded themselves. About being or not-being of German power and German essence.

We will defend ourselves until to the last breath of man and horse. And we will survive the battle even against a world of enemies. Germany was never defeated, when it was united.

Forward with God, who will be with us, how he was with the fathers!

Berlin, 6th August 1914.

Wilhelm.

156 large a store of internal freshness and buoyancy, her mental powers evinced so little decadence,—Time had dealt so leniently with her face and form, she was so wonderfully bien conservée, that the inevitable necessity of "growing old," and—far worse—of looking old, had not intruded itself upon her contemplation. Yet, even by the poet's measurement of existence, which says:

And counting her life by its events, emotions, actions, by what she had suffered, enjoyed, endured, achieved, it had not been short; for hers was not one of those empty, passive, purposeless lives that glide on from youth to age without leaving landmarks on the road, to warn or guide others who may pass that way.

"Growing old for want of somebody to tell me that I am looking as young as ever!" wrote Landor. "Looking as young as ever!" sighed Millicent; "why that was once a familiar greeting to my ears; and Landor is right, truly: its flattery was rejuvenating. But, methinks, no one has told me, of late, that I am 'looking as young as ever.' Was it a mere chance omission, or am I"

 out and to keep out of the pockets of the people as little as possible, over and above what it brings into the public treasury of the State. A tax may either take out or keep out of the pockets of the people a great deal more than it brings into the public treasury, in the four following ways: First, the levying of it may require a great number of officers, whose salaries may eat up the greater part of the produce of the tax, and whose perquisitiesperquisites [sic] may impose another additional tax upon the people. Secondly, it may obstruct the industry of the people, and discourage them from applying to certain branches of business which might give maintenance and employment to great multitudes. While it obliges the people to pay, it may thus diminish, or perhaps destroy, some of the funds which might enable them more easily to do so. Thirdly, by the forfeitures and other penalties which those unfortunate individuals incur who attempt unsuccessfully to evade the tax, it may frequently ruin them, and thereby put an end to the benefit which the community might have received from the employment of their capitals. An injudicious tax offers a great temptation to smuggling. But the penalties of smuggling must rise in proportion to the temptation. The law, contrary to all the ordinary principles of justice, first creates the temptation, and then punishes those who yield to It; and it commonly enhances the punishment, too, in proportion to the very circumstance which ought certainly to alleviate it, the temptation to commit the crime. Fourthly, by subjecting the people to the frequent visits and the odious examination of the tax-gatherers, it may expose them to much unnecessary trouble, vexation, and oppression; and

 though vexation is not, strictly speaking, expense, it is certainly equivalent to the expense at which every man would be willing to redeem himself from it. It is in some one or other of these four different ways that taxes are frequently so much more burdensome to the people than they are beneficial to the sovereign.

The evident justice and utility of the foregoing maxims have recommended them more or less to the attention of all nations. All nations have endeavored, to the best of their judgment, to render their taxes as equal as they could contrive; as certain, as convenient to the contributor, both in the time and in the mode of payment, and in proportion to the revenue which they brought to the prince, as little burdensome to the people. The following short review of some of the principal taxes which have taken place in different ages and countries will show, that the endeavors of all nations have not in this respect been equally successful.

upon the rent of land may either be imposed according to a certain canon, every district being valued at a certain rent, which valuation is not afterward to be altered; or it may be imposed in such a manner as to vary with every variation in the real rent of the land, and to rise or fall with the improvement or declension of its cultivation.

A land tax which, like that of Great Britain, is assessed upon each district according to a certain invariable canon, though it should be equal at the time of its first establishment, necessarily becomes unequal in process of time, according to the unequal degrees of improvement or neglect

Rh and learning their value, he developed to ever higher degree the powers of invention and discovery. This in turn developed the brain so that it finally ran into the channels of art, science and literature. Woman, on the other hand, by constantly staying at home, adopted quieter habits. She has therefore less energy and endurance. By association with the children and the sick and wounded she became kinder and more sympathetic, but her circle was narrow and required little mental or physical energy of the kinds that man developed.

The process of evolution has made different beings of the two sexes. These differences must not and should not be ignored. In the early stages of the human struggle they developed for the good of the entire race. In class society the ruling classes have known how to turn both the advantages and disadvantages of each sex to its own good and the oppression of the enslaved. But, as the economic development points to a future society of peace, leisure and plenty, so does the sexual development point to a future when the good in both sexes may be amalgamated into a greater and nobler humanity.

That the economic relations in society are powerful and determining factors in the social relations is. well demonstrated by woman's position during primitive communism. At that time man's tools and weapons were as yet crude, and they were his only possession. But woman was the ruler of the house, or rather the women of the gens were the rulers of the community house. They owned the household goods and utensils, and the value at that time of these acquirements for the art of cookery can scarcely be over-estimated, as they greatly increased the value and nutriment of the food. Moreover, the women were the earliest tillers of the soil, the little plot around the camp. They had charge of the first domestic animals, at least those whose meat and milk was used for food.

has been overthrown. It is a splendid victory for the German people.

"Herr Ebert has been charged with the formation of a new Government in which all shades of the Social Democratic Party are to participate.

"Only decrees from the Government bearing the signature of Herr Ebert have validity. Only orders from the Minister for War bearing the counter signature of the Social Democrat acting as [his] assistant are official."

Deputy Scheidemann exhorted the crowd to keep calm and to avoid incidents.

Deputy von Tharr and some soldiers spoke from a motor lorry. A delegate from the Corps of Officers of the Guard Battalion announced that the officers were on the side of the people. Stormy applause and jubilation accompanied the speeches.

Vorwärts, the central organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, in an extra edition today published the following call for a general strike:

"The Workmen's and Soldiers' Council of Berlin has decided upon a general strike. All the factories are at a standstill.

The necessary administration of the people will be maintained. A large part of the garrison has been closed and bodies of troops and machine guns have been placed at the disposal of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council.

The movement will be guided in common by the Social-Democratic Party of Germany and the independent Social-Democratic Party of Germany. The Workmen's and Soldiers' Council will take charge of the maintenance of quiet and order. Long live the social republic!

WORKMEN'S AND SOLDIERS' COUNCIL."

With regard to the incidents of Nov. 9 in Berlin, the semi-official Telegraph Bureau, working under the control of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council, issues the following report:

"This morning at 9 o'clock the workmen of the greatest industrial undertakings commenced a general strike.

"Processions hastened from all the suburbs to the centre of the city. Red flags were carried at the head of the processions, in which marched armed soldiers and all classes.

"The first procession arrived from the Ackerstrasse and Brunnestrasse. As a preliminary the soldiers and officers were urged to remove their cockades and epaulets. In the majority of cases this took place voluntarily.

"There was a general fraternization of soldiers and workmen. The workmen penetrated the barracks, where they received an enthusiastic reception from the soldiers.

"The military occupants of factories mingled in common with the workers, left the works, and treated with them in common.

"So far as known the only clash between the masses and armed forces took place on the occupation of the so-called 'Cockchafer' barracks. In that was a guard of fusiliers, but only two officers fired. Three persons were killed and one was injured. This is to be regretted.

"The taking possession of a majority of the public buildings and establishments was completed without difficulty once it was clear that the military had gone over to the people."

BASLE, Nov. 10.—An official dispatch received by the Havas Agency from Berlin today says:

"Official. The revolution has resulted in a striking victory almost without the effusion of blood.

"A general strike was declared this morning. It brought a cessation of work in all workshops at about 10 o'clock.

"A regiment of Nurnberg Chasseurs passed over to the people. Other troops rapidly followed their action.

"The Alexander Regiment, after hearing a declaration by Deputy Wells, went over to the revolution."

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 10.—A Berlin dispatch received in Amsterdam says:

"The revolution here has been won brilliantly. There has been an almost entire absence of bloodshed. Striked have resulted in a complete cessation of work. Various regiments have gone over to the Soldiers' and Workmen's organizations in quick succession. Apart from some insignificant cases of shooting, there has been complete quiet.

"Order prevails and the military patrols already have been withdrawn. Great jubilation and enthusiasm reign throughout the city."

LONDON, Nov. 10, (Associated Press.)—According to dispatches from Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and other Continental cities, the revolution in Germany is extending rapidly, but in most places the desired effect is being achieved without violence or serious disorders.

In some States, notably in Anhalt, Hesse-Darmstadt, and Macklenburg-Schwerin, the princely houses are co-operating with the reforming parties in establishing a new order of things.

A Basle dispatch says that Hesse-Darmstadt has declared itself a republic.

Among the incidents of the revolution is the renunciation by the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar and his family of the right of exemption from taxation. At Lübeck a lawyer was charged with treason because he acted without authority from the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council in liberating prisoners.

Reports received in Geneva describe the revolution as continuing quietly in the twelve principal towns and ports, which are now ruled by the Soviets, consisting of workmen, soldiers, and sailors. The red flag has been hoisted everywhere, even above the Cologne Cathedral.

Up to the present the most serious conflict has taken place in Kiel. The Soldiers' and Workmen's Councils in most of the large cities appear to be devoting their first efforts to organizing the food supplies, foreseeing that any lack of provision in this respect will prove a fruitful source of disorder.

Complaints have already been heard in Berlin that the press censorship is being exercised as arbitrarily by the new as by the old régime.

Among the latest towns to come under the control of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Councils are Aix-la-Chapelle, Cassel, Nuremberg, Mannheim, Gladbach, and Münster. A general strike has been proclaimed at Nuremberg and Mannheim.

Order has been restored at Hamburg, where the police have been permitted to resume their duties under the direction of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council, and places of public amusement have been reopened.

At Cologne the whole garrison sided with the Workers' Council, whose program included, according to the Cologne Gazette, the abolition of all German dynasties, the annulment of war loans, with special consideration for the subscribers from the poorer classes, the liberation of all political prisoners, and the abolition of saluting.

The military and civil prisoners in Cologne are in the hands of the council, and already all the prisoners have been released. The majority and minority sections of the Socialists have been fused.

Essen, where the great Krupp steel works are situated, is reported to be in the hands of the revolutionaries, says a dispatch from Amsterdam to the Exchange Telegraph Company.

Lieutenant Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, the head of the Krupp Works, and his wife have been been arrested.

This news was brought from Essen by Dutch workmen arriving by special train at Zevenear on Saturday.

An Amsterdam dispatch of Friday's date says that the proclamation issued at Munich in behalf of the Council of Workers, Soldiers, and Peasants, which constituted itself into a Diet, announcing that a republic had been formed in Bavaria, declared that "the Democratic and Socialist Republic of Bavaria has the strength to realize a peace for Germany, preserving that country from the worst."

The proclamation, after promising a Constitutent Assembly to be elected by all adult men and women, says that Bavaria will make Germany ready for a League of Nations. It then continues:

"The present revolution is needed to complete the self-government of the people before enemy armies stream across our country or before troops, after the armistice, bring about chaos.

"The council will insure strict order. Soldiers in barracks will govern themselves by means of Soldiers' Councils. Officers acquiescing in the altered situation will not be hindered in their duties.

"We reckon on the co-operation of the entire population. All officials will remain at their posts.

"Fundamental social and political reforms will immediately be initiated."

A dispatch from Zurich says that the disorder has subsided in Munich, according to the latest reports. The whereabouts of the King is unknown. The casualties in the rioting are few, being confined for the most part of officers who resisted.

The Landtag has been dissolved. Only Socialists and Deputies are permitted to enter the building. Looters are being shot.

A dispatch to the Wolff Bureau from Munich says that order prevails in the Bavarian capital.

"Provisioning of the city," the dispatch adds, "is assured. Trains are running into the city. The administration has been recognized. Former Ministers have turned over their offices to their successors. The attitude of the middle classes has not yet been clearly defined. Efforts are being made to conciliate the peasants without the aid of whom the city is destined to famine.

"Kurt Eisner, chief manager of Vorwärts, is trying to get the peasant chiefs, Heim and Schlitterbauer to join the Ministry. The results of his overtures are not yet known, but the peasant leaders, Uschroeder and Gendefer, have accepted the Vice Presidency and Secretaryship of Parliament, respectively.

"A proclamation has been addressed to the peasants, urging them to support the Government by sending provisions. It promises elections by universal suffrage of both sexes. It says also that the Government is resolute in its intentions to defend the frontier, and that it will keep the army from breaking up, like the Austrian Army, and thus preserve the population from the pillaging from which Tyrol is suffering."

Leipsig, the largest city in Saxony; Stuttgart, the capital of Württemberg, the Cologne and Frankfort have joined the revolution, according to reports from the Danish frontier, telegraphed here by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company.

The Soldiers' Councils at Stuttgart, Cologne, and Frankfort have decided to proclaim a republic.

"A dispatch received in Amsterdam from Karlshure, the capital of Baden, says that Grand Duke Friedrich has issued a proclamation, declaring that the Landtag will be summoned Nov. 15 to change the constitution.

A Soldiers' and Workmen's Council has been established at Dusseldorf and has issued a proclamation that plunderers will be shot, and that no strikes will be permitted. The revolution there has passed without disturbance.

At Stuttgart the new Government has issued a proclamation to the people announcing the formation of a provisional republic. It declares that General Ebbinghausen and his staff have yielded control of the city to the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council, who first object was to summon a constituent national Parliament.

The populations in the South German States are delighted over the abdication of the Kaiser. There has been public rejoicing near the Swiss frontier and also in Alsace-Lorraine.

Schleswig-Holstein, the Prussian province which formerly belonged to Denmark, is to be proclaimed an independent republic, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen.

It is reported from Amsterdam that the Workmen's and Soldiers' Council in a proclamation to the people of Schleswig-Holstein says:

"A Provisional Provincial Government is being formed, which will cooperate with the existing authorities in establishing a new order. Our aim is a free social people's republic. The main task is to secure peace.

"Questions beyond the limit of the provincial administration still belong to the dominion of the State and Imperial Legislatures. We are willing to co-operate with the present officials so far as they submit to the new course. We are resolved to put down any resistance with the forces at our disposal."

Industrial districts have been established in the various cities under the same general plan.

An official dispatch (via Amsterdam) from Darmstadt, capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, announces that the Grand Duke of Hesse has decreed the formation of a Council of State to take over the business of the Government "until a final settlement of the questions arising from the present situation."

A Council of Workmen and Soldiers, says a Copenhagen dispatch, has been established at Chemnitz, Saxony, according to the Wolff News Agency. The council took charge of military and civil affairs. There were no disturbances. The council proclaimed that its aim was a socialistic republic for Germany.

The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette of Essen announces that Eutin, the capital of the Principality of Lübeck, is in the hands of the Soldiers' Council. Many persons, both civilians and military, have been shot.

Sonderburg, on the island of Alsen, Schleswig-Holstein, is in the hands of the revolutionists, and the red flag has been raised on ships there, says a Copenhagen dispatch dated Friday.

A train filled with soldiers has been sent out from Bremen for the purpose of persuading other towns to join the revolution, says a dispatch from the Danish frontier forwarded here by the correspondent at Copenhagen of the Exchange Telegraph Company.

The railway stations in all the industrial districts of Germany from Dortmund to Duisburg have been occupied by Soldiers' Councils, according to a dispatch received in Copenhagen from Essen. There were no disorders.

Special Cable to.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 8.—A special dispatch to the Berlingske Tidende from the Danish frontier says the Soldiers' Councils are masters everywhere in Schleswig-Holstein. Soldiers, who are told they can go where they want to, are not returning to the trenches. The rebellion has been comparatively quiet, except in Hamburg, where machine guns have been used in the streets.

A delegation of the Soldiers' Council at Kiel is traveling through the country north, disarming officers with the words, "We will not fight any more."

Nobody is now allowed ot pass the Danish frontier. Infantry and dragoons are on guard. A German General this morning tried to pass, but was kept back by German soldiers.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 10.—From all parts of the Kaiserless Empire come reports of the astonishingly rapid spread of the Socialistic revolution. It is in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, that matters appear to have moved with the greatest speed. There a Socialist Government, with Herr Kurt Eisner, a well-known Socialist at its head, has been formed, a republic has been proclaimed and the garrison has placed itself under the orders of the new powers that be.

The movement was rapidly successful at Hanover, where all the trains bound for the front were stopped and the soldiers and their officers were disarmed. The movement completely conquered Oldenburg, and at Schwerin the Grand Duke received the members of the Soldiers' and Workers' Council, who informed him that the whole province of Mecklenburg has gone over to the Socialist revolution.

Throughout the Rhine industrial region the movement is now spreading like wildfire. From Essen and many other places many people in their alarm are trekking toward Holland. At the Krupp Works many thousands of foreign workers have been dismissed and thousands of others have stopped work. A council has also been formed there, and Socialist patrols are said to be surrounding the Krupp Works with a machine gun detachment.

At Crefeld a great Socialist meeting demanded that all munition factories immediately suspend work.

An astounding week in Germany is ending in a remarkable blaze of historic events. In seven short days the German people have effectively burst the fetters of the tyrannous, autocratic rule which had bound them for so many generations.

The Socialist revolution has swept with extraordinary success and remarkable rapidity through practically the whole country. That Germany which plunged Europe into war has, in short, been beaten far more thoroughly than even the most optimistic ever hoped would be the case. As this historic week ends it may be said to have been wiped out.

Kaiserism is dead. Today its great champion, Kaiser William II., abdicated, together with the Crown Prince. Prince Max of Baden will be Regent, and Herr Ebert will be the new Chancellor. An immediate general election will be held in order to bring together a national gathering to decide upon the future constitution of the country. There can be little doubt that a German republic will be called into existence.

The Socialist leader Sollman declared that a Soldiers' and Workers' Council had been formed and had established itself in the City Hall. He proclaimed the Council's demands to be as follows:

1. The immediate ending of the war.

2. A German Social Democratic Republic.

3. The release of all political and military prisoners.

4. The abolition of the military salute.

5. The army to be made a real people's army.

6. The abdication of the Hohenzollerns and all the German Princes.

Some speakers, amid a good deal of applause, advocated Bolshevist methods.

While the meeting was being held disorders took place in various parts of the city, especially in the markets, where a great deal of food was carried off by the crowds.

In the afternoon the whole garrison announced its adhesion to the movement.

During the afternoon strong measures were taken to restore order, and these were successful. The Law Courts were shut down. Deputations from other cities arrived in the course of the day and had a tremendous popular reception.

The city presents a curious aspect, lavishly decked as it is with red flags and streamers. Soldiers and civilians have their caps and hats decked with red. Wherever crowds gather together loud cheers are raised for a Socialist republic.

The Chief Burgomaster has announced his agreement with the Council's demands.

In Hamburg the movement is reported to have taken one peculiar feature, in that very considerable enmity is now being shown against the more moderate Socialist elements.

The Fed Flag, formerly the Hamburger Echo, organ of the Soldiers' and Workers' Council, prints an order issued by the Council warning people against adhering to what appears to be a countermovement by the Moderates. The Bourgeos press has been forbidden to print appeals from that quarter, which seems to consist mainly of trade union elements.

The Cologne Volks-Zeitung hints that it is probable that the extremists may be overcome by the older Socialist Party and by the trade unions, and the movement will have less revolutionary character.

In all other ports the movement continues in being.

Nov. 8.—Germany is in the throes of a revolutionary movement, which began early this week and which has spread and is still spreading with great rapidity, becoming more and more openly revolutionary in character. Both the Socialist parties have now been drawn into it. Berlin was quiet today, but action by the Socialists there is expected at any time.

A traveler arriving from Hamburg tells me that the movement there is frankly revolutionary. He heard the crowds cheering the Entente and President Wilson.

That the Socialist Majority Party has placed itself at the head of the German revolution is shown by a manifesto published this morning in Vorwärts. In the early hours this manifesto created a tremendous sensation throughout the capital, and the excitement is reported to have grown with every hour since. It is as follows:

"Workers and Party Comrades: Peace is assured. Within a few hours the armistice will begin, so let there be no thoughtless actions which may cause the bloodshed, now stopping at the front, to begin again at home. The Socialist Party is putting all its strength into the work of securing the speediest concession to its demands. To that end the executives of the Socialist Party and of the Reichstag faction of the Socialist Party have placed the following demands before the Imperial Chancellor:

"1. Permission to be given for holding those gatherings today which had been prohibited.

"2. Instructions to be given to the police and military authorities that they must exercise the greatest circumspection.

"3. Abdication of the Kaiser and the Crown Prince before midday of Friday.

"4. Strengthening of the Socialist influence in the Government.

"5. Reorganization of the Prussian Cabinet according to the policy of the Reichstag majority parties.

"If before Friday, Nov. 8, at noon, no satisfactory answer has been received the Socialist members of the Government will resign.

"Workers, wait for further announcement from us in the course of Friday afternoon."

The manifesto is signed by the executives of the Socialist Party and the Reichstag faction of the party.

I believe the Socialist terms were handed to the Chancellor yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, so that Prince Max had twenty hours in which to concede the demands.

At meetings all over the country resolutions have been passes demanding the Kaiser's abdication, and these resolutions have been pouring in upon the Government. Especially in South Germany has the demand for his going been of a particularly clamant nature, and press utterances on the matter became increasingly plain spoken. As far as can be gathered, a majority of the people favor a regency. But it cannot be denied that the demand for a republic is growing, especially since the ports burst into revolution. The Kaiserin is said to have been keenly in favor of abdication.

"Kiel is in the hands of German terrorists," says the Bremen Weser Zeitung, and the latest news showns that the statement is not exaggerated. A message dated yesterday says that the house of Captain Heine, Town Commandant, was entered at night by a naval patrol. The sailors demanded that the Captain should come with them. When he refused he was shot dead on the spot. The Soldiers' Council expressed regret for the incident, for which it disclaims responsibility.

The general strike which began Tuesday still continued yesterday. The patrols in the town have been strengthened and the red flag has been hoisted on the City Hall. Kiel is entirely cut off from the rest of Germany. The telegraph, telephone, and railway services of the town have been suspended. No letters are being delivered.

The Soldiers' Council issued another proclamation yesterday, reporting acceptance by State Secretary Haussmann, on behalf of the Government, of a large number of conditions. Some of them I have already reported, while others are that the fleet must not leave Kiel under any circumstances; that there must be complete freedom of speech; that the censorship of letters must be abolished, and that there shall be no more superior officers. There are several other terms by which apparently all power in Kiel passes into the hands of the Soldiers' Council.

Similar events have taken place at Hamburg, Lübeck, Flensburg, near Kiel, and Cuxhaven.

The trouble began on Tuesday in Hamburg with the arrival there of a torpedo boat, flying the red flag. Shortly afterward thousands of workers of numerous firms laid down their tools and began to demonstrate in the streets. At the stations they prevented the departure of soldiers whose leaves had expired, and many of these soldiers joined the demonstrators.

While this was going on a Soldiers' and Workers' Council was formed, patrols were placed on the streets, and guards put over the public buildings. Here and there fights took place, and altogether, it appears, about twelve people were killed and twenty wounded during the day.

In the afternoon all the ships in port were ordered to hoist the red flag, after which all the sailors left the ships. By this time the demonstrators numbered about 15,000, among them being a large number of women. Their next act was to disarm all the police and take possession of the barracks. At the infantry barracks there was a warm exchange of shots for a considerable time. Eventually the officers came out and surrendered the building.

In Altona, adjoining Hamburg, a Soldiers' Council also was formed, and the two councils entered into negotiations with the local military command, which, as at Kiel, agreed to the demonstrators' demands. The councils then took possession of the military command offices.

All military and naval prisoners in Hamburg and Altona have been set at liberty. The well-known Independent Socialist Deputy, William Dittman, is acting with the demonstrators there, while at Kiel Herr Noake placed himself at the head of the Soldiers' Council.

Nov. 7—(Midnight.)—News late tonight from Hamburg shows that Hamburg and its suburb, Altona, are completely in the hands of the revolutionaries. Military posts, with red flags, hold all the important points with machine guns and all the soldiers wear red bands on their arms. It is reckoned that there are 18,000 soldiers in Hamburg along, who placed themselves under orders of the Soldiers' Council.

So far the reports from Bremen are brief, but it is not thought that the revolutionaries there have the situation fully in their control. Matters did not move there until Tuesday. On that day a train brought 500 marine who were going to Wilhelmshaven to escord prisoners to a camp at Münster. They left the train at Bremen, however, and marched into the city in large numbers.

The people joined them on their march to the barracks where the guards were disarmed. While this was being done, another crowd marched to the City Hall, and there from a balcony speeches were delivered, the burden of which was a demand for a Socialist Republic. A Soldiers' and Workers' Council was then formed, and the commander of the garrison was told that this body was assuming entire control of the city.

Yet another crowd marched to the prison with the intention of releasing all military and civilian prisoners, but these had been set at libery before the revolutionaries arrived. Not many workers appear to have gone on strike, but discussions are reported to be proceeding between employers and workmen in Bremen.

Liebknecht is directing matters and the whole Independent Socialist Party appears to have linked itself up definitely with the movement. In the evening the revolutionaries had the city bells rung in token of the dawn of the new freedom.

Small demonstrations are just reported from the northern districts of Berlin.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 10.—Four hundred passengers arrived today from Northern Europe on the Norwegian-American liner Bergensfjord and were permitted to land without being held up in Quarantine twenty-four hours by the immigration authorites and the Customs Intelligence Department, as has been done since the United States entered the war.

The Rev. George Simons, Superintendent and Treasurer of the American Methodist Episcopal Church in Russia and pastor of the American M.E. Church in Petrograd, where he has resided for eleven years, was one of the passengers. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Ottilia Simons. In speaking of conditions in Russia the Rev. Mr. Simons said that if the threatened massacre of the people by th eBolshevists took place in Russia today, it would be followed by the greatest pogrom the world has ever seen.

"Persons are shot down by the Bolshevist guards without any pretext or warning," he said, "and a state of terrorism exists where the Bolshevists are in control. Guards enter private houses at night and terrorize the inmates with forged papers supposed to be orders for their arrest and ransack the rooms for valuables and shoot down any one who ventures to oppose them.

"For a time the Bolshevists were friendly to me in Petrograd and my house was not molested. Then there came a change, and agents came at 2:30 in the morning and offered a bribe of 5,000 rubles to a private policeman, who slept in front of the door, to let them in. They said that they wanted to go in and massacre the people inside and loot the premises. He was faithful to me and declined to accept the bribe, which was afterward set as a price on my head by the Bolshevist heads in Petrograd."

Two other passengers on the Bergensfjord from Russia, who went through some thrilling experiences were George B. Francke, a russian banker, and his wife, who was imprisoned for twenty-two months before she managed to escape as a Red Cross nurse. Mr. Francke said that the Bolsheviki were looking for him because he was suspected of aiding his wife to escape, and he only got away through the aid of friends by joining the Red Guards. Other passengers who arrived yesterday were Major Malcolm McB Bell-Irving of Vancouver, B.C., who served in France with the Royal Air Force until he was severely wounded, losing a leg, and Colonel P. Flaschl of Sydney, New South Wales, who is one of 7,000 Australians remaining of the original force of 26,000 who volunteered in 1914.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Offices are now open in fourteen large cities of the United States to receive the applications of disabled soldiers and sailors for free education to equip them for the vocation for which they are most fitted. These offices have been established by the Federal Board of Vocations in Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Minnesota, San Francisco and Seattle.

While he is receiving re-education the Government will pay the disabled man $65 a month, and in addition will provide him with the funds necessary to pay educational fees. Each man accepted for re-education will be sent to an institution giving special courses in the line he has chosen or he will receive instruction in any industry he wishes to learn. During his training period allowances will be made by the Government to his dependents, such as wife, children and mother. These will be fixed in proportion to the amount they received while he was in active service.

When the disabled man has finished his training the Federal Board promises to have employment ready for him. After he has gone to work again his compensation from the War Risk Insurance Bureau begins and will continue unaffected by the amount of his earnings.

"The worst mistake a disabled man can made," says the Federal Board, "is to draft into a low grade, unskilled occupation. Without any training he must compete with the normal man in a line of work where brute strength and physical fitness alone count, and there can be doubt as to the outcome when work becomes slack. Every consideration requires that a disabled man should obtain permanent employemnt in the position for which he is best fitted or for which he can become best fitted. Otherwise his career will consist of alternate periods of more or less undesirable employment, idleness, trying to live on his pension and picking up an occupation. No self-respecting veteran of this great war can afford to be placed in this position. There is only one escape by which these men may make their future safe and that is, if training is necessary, to obtain it through the Federal Board for Vocational Education."

ITALIAN HEADQURARTERS, Nov. 10, (Associated Press.)—King Victor Emmanuel left Headquarters today for Trieste.

Rh "That is the chief," said the interpreter.

Pakhom immediately got out his best dressing-gown and gave it to the chief, with five pounds of tea besides. The chief took the presents and sat down in the place of honour. And immediately the Bashkirs began to tell him all about Pakhom. He listened and listened, and now and then he smiled. Then he began to speak in Russian.

"Be it so," said he, "take what seems best to you. There's enough land and to spare."

"What!" thought Pakhom, "I may take as much as I like. But I must make sure of it somehow. To-day they may say take it, 'tis yours, and to-morrow they may take it back again. I thank you for your good words," added he aloud. "You have indeed very much land and I don't want much; but I should like to know exactly what is to be mine. We must measure it fair and square somehow, and I must be put into sure possession of it. Life and death are in God's hands. You who give it to me are good people, but your children may take it away again."

The chief smiled. "May be," said he, "we will make it sure then—surer than sure."

Pakhom spoke again, "I have heard," said he, "from a merchant who used to be here, that you gave him much land and made an agreement with him, do the same with me."

The chief understood perfectly.

"Quite so," said he, "we have a scribe here, and we'll go to town and have the agreement signed and sealed." 93

Tales from Tolstoi "And the price?" asked Pakhom.

"We have only one price here, 1,000 roubles a day."

Pakhom did not comprehend.

"A day!" thought he, "what sort of measure is that? How many acres is that? "he asked aloud.

"That is more than we can tell," replied the chief. "We sell by the day, that is to say, as much land as you are able to compass in a day, so much is your measure; the price per day is 1,000 roubles."

Pakhom was amazed. "But look now," said he, "a very great deal of land may be got over in a day."

The chief smiled. "Yes, and it will all be yours. But there's one condition. If you don't come back within the day to the point from whence you started, you forfeit your money and get nothing."

"But how?" asked Pakhom again; "do you mean to say you'll measure me all I go over?"

"We will stand at the place from whence you start. We, I say, will stand still there while you go your rounds, and after you will come our young men on horseback, planting poles wherever you tell them, and ploughing a furrow from pole to pole. You are free to make your own circuit, but you must come back to the place from whence you started before the setting of the sun. Whatsoever you compass within that time, the same shall be yours."

Pakhom consented, and they agreed to set out early next morning. They fell to talking again, they drank some more koumiss together, they drank some more tea, the night wore on. Then they made a bed for Pakhom of soft cushions, and the Bashkirs left him. 94

Rh They promised to assemble again at dawn next morning, and go to the starting-point before sunrise.

Pakhom lay on his cushions, but he could not sleep. He kept thinking of the land. "Here," said he, "I am indeed in luck's way. I am about to drop into a huge domain, for in a day I can make a circuit of fifty miles easily, and the days are now at their longest. Now, in fifty miles there are at least 10,000 acres. I shall be independent of all the world. I will get two yoke of oxen and two labourers. I will plough up the parts I like best, and will graze cattle on the remainder."

Pakhom did not sleep a wink the whole night. It was only just before dawn that he dozed off, and then he dreamed a dream. He dreamed he lay in that very kibitka and heard someone laughing outside. A strong desire seized him to see who was laughing so much, and he went out of the kibitka. And he dreamed that the selfsame Bashkir chief was sitting by the kibitka, holding his sides with both hands, and shrieking with laughter at something or other. And he went up and asked him, "What are you laughing at so much?" And then he saw that it was not the Bashkir chief, but the merchant of a few days ago who had sojourned with him and told him of the land. And he asked the merchant, "Why, how long have you been here?" And then he saw that it was not the merchant, but the muzhik who had 95

Tales from Tolstoi come up from the Volga and told him of the new settlement. And he looked, again, and saw that it was not the muzhik after all, but the devil in person, with horns and hoofs, who sat laughing, and looking at something. And Pakhom thought, "What is he looking at, and why is he laughing so?" And he dreamed that he crept up sideways, and peeped, and saw a man lying there in nothing but a shirt and trousers. His feet were bare, and he lay face upwards, as pale as a towel. And as Pakhom gazed more attentively to see who the man might be, he saw that it was himself. Pakhom shrieked aloud and woke. He woke, and his first thought was, what nonsense people do dream! He looked around him, and saw that the sky was growing grey—it was beginning to dawn. "I must wake up the people," thought he, "the time has come."

Pakhom arose, awoke his labourer in the tarantass, bade him put the horses to, and went to arouse the Bashkirs.

"It is time," said he, "to go to the steppe and take our measurements."

The Bashkirs arose, assembled, and presently the chief joined them. The Bashkirs again began drinking koumiss, and wanted to make Pakhom drink tea, but he would not wait.

"If we are going, let us go," said he.

So the Bashkirs set out, some on horseback and 96

Rh some in tarantasses. But Pakhom with his labourer went in his own tarantass. By the time they reached the steppe the red dawn was already visible. They came to a little mound, dismounted, and the Bashkirs went up to the top of it and stood there in a group. The chief came to Pakhom, and pointed with his hand.

"Behold!" said he, "as far as your eyes can reach, all is ours. Choose what you will!"

Pakhom's eyes flashed. The whole of the land was covered with plumy grass. It was as level as the palm of your hand, and as black as poppy-seed, and the ravines were marked by bush patches of divers colours breast high. The chief doffed his fox-skin cap, and set it on the top of the mound.

"That," said he, "will be the goal, put your money in it. Your labourer will stand here. This is your starting-point—hither also will you return. Whatsoever you compass shall be yours.

Pakhom took out his money, placed it in the cap, doffed his kaftan (i.e., long cloak)—his doublet was sufficient clothing—girded up his loins, tightened his belt, thrust a bit of bread into his bosom, fastened a gourd full of water to his waist, drew up the straps of his boots, and prepared to depart. He racked his brains as to which direction he should take first—everywhere the land was good.

Tis all one," thought he, "I'll go towards the setting of the sun." He stood with his face towards the dawn, stamping impatiently for the sun to appear above the horizon. Then he thought, "What's the good of losing so much time? I'll wait no longer, 'twill be easier going in the cool of the morning. 97

Tales from Tolstoi The mounted Bashkirs new likewise appeared on the top of the mound, and stood behind Pakhom. No sooner had the sun burst above the horizon than Pakhom turned round and went down into the steppe. The horsemen followed after.

Pakhom set out at a leisurely, even pace. He went a mile and then bade them plant a pole. He went on further. His limbs began to lose their first stiffness. He quickened his pace. He went still further and bade them plant another pole. Pakhom glanced back at the sun, the top of the mound was well in sight, with the group standing on it. Pakhom calculated that he had gone five miles. And now he began to sweat. He cast off his doublet and girded himself still tighter. He went on further and covered another five miles. It began to be hot. Again he looked back at the sun. It was already breakfast-time.

"I have now done one wagon-stage," thought he, "four wagon-stages make a good day's journey. It is still too early to turn back, but I may at least loosen my boots." He sat down, made his boots easier, and went on further. It was now much easier going. He thought, "I'll go another five miles and then I'll turn to the left. This spot is good."

But the further he went the better the land got. He continued to go straight on. He looked round at last. The mound was scarcely visible, and the people upon it looked like black ants.

"Well," thought Pakhom, "I've taken enough in this direction. I must turn off now." He had grown very hot and felt a strong desire to drink. So he raised his gourd to his mouth and drank without 98

Rh stopping, bathe them plant another pole in the ground, and turned off sharply to the left. He went on and on. The grass was very stiff and high. The heat became oppressive. Pakhom stood still. He looked at the sun. It was dinner-time. "Well," thought Pakhom, "I must rest I suppose." So he stopped and ate some bread, but would not sit down. "For," thought he, "if you begin to sit down you will want to lie down, and if you lie down you will go to sleep." So he stood still for a little while to get his breath, and then on he went again. At first it was easy going. His food had fortified him. But soon it grew very hot again, and the sun beat full upon him. Pakhom began to grow mortally weary. "Come, come!" thought he, "endure for an hour and live like a king ever afterwards!"

So on he went and traversed ten mile's in this direction likewise. He was about to turn to the left again, when his eye fell upon a very good little spot—a fresh, well-watered ravine. He had not the heart to leave it out.

"How well flax will grow there," thought he. So he went straight on again and compassed the ravine, had another pole planted and turned the second corner. Pakhom looked towards the mound. The people on it were just visible. It was exactly fifteen miles off. "Well," thought he, "I have made the first two sides of my domain very long, this one must be much shorter." He now traversed the third side, taking longer strides than before. He looked again at the sun. It had already begun to decline. On the third side he had only gone two miles in all, and 99

Tales from Tolstoi still he was quite fifteen miles from the goal. "Well," thought he, "although my property will be somewhat lop-sided, I must nevertheless keep straight on now. Any more would be more than I could manage. I've got enough land at last." So Pakhom turned his steps straight towards the mound.

Pakhom went straight towards the mound, and very heavy going he found it. On he went, stumbling again and again. His legs ached and swelled, and seemed on the point of giving way beneath him altogether. He would have liked to have rested, but that was now out of the question, he would never have reached the goal before sunset. The sun did not wait for him. It was not sinking, it was falling—falling as if someone was jerking it down. "Alas!" thought Pakhom, " have I made a mistake? Have I chosen too much? Suppose I don't arrive in time! Alas! how far off it is! I am wearied to death! What if all my labour and trouble go for nothing!—I must put on a spurt."

Pakhom pulled himself together and broke into a trot. His legs began to bleed, but he ran for all that. He threw away his vest, his shoes, his water-gourd; he threw away his hat. "Alas!" thought Pakhom, "I have coveted too much, and I shall lose everything if I do not reach the goal in time," and a terrible fear seized upon his soul. Pakhom ran and ran. His shirt and his trousers, drenched with sweat, clave 100

Rh to his body; his mouth was parched and dry. His breast seemed to be a blacksmith's bellows; his heart beat like a hammer; his feet bent beneath him and no longer seemed his own. Pakhom thought no more of his land, what he thought was this: "Suppose I were to die of fatigue!" He feared to die, but he could not find it in his heart to stop. "After running such a distance, to stop now!" he thought. "No! they would call me a fool! What was that?" He listened. The Bashkirs were shouting and bellowing to him to come on, and their shouts kindled his courage once more. Pakhom ran with all the strength he still had left in him, and just then the sun dipped on the horizon. But he was now quite close to the goal. Pakhom saw the people on the mound waving their hands to him, and it goaded him on. And now he saw the fox-skin cap on the ground, and the money in it, and he saw the chief sitting on the ground and holding his sides. And Pakhom recollected his dream. "The land is plenteous," thought he, "most plenteous, but will God let me live upon it? Alas! I have lost my very self," thought he. And still he kept on running. He looked back upon the sun. It was large and red, and quite close to the ground; it was on the point of disappearing. Pakhom reached the foot of the mound and the sun went down. Pakhom groaned. He already thought that he had lost everything; but then it suddenly occurred to him that 'twas only he, below there, who could not see the sun, from the top of the mound it must still be visible. Pakhom dashed towards the mound. He scaled it at a gallop, and saw the fox-skin cap—yes! 101

Page:Tolstoy - Tales from Tolstoi.djvu/152

Tales from Tolstoi there it lay! Then he stumbled and fell, and as he fell he stretched out his hands towards the cap.

"Well done, my son!" roared the chief of the Bashkirs, "you have indeed won much land!"

Pakhom's labourer ran towards him, and would have lifted him up, but he saw that blood was flowing from his mouth; there he lay—dead! The labourer groaned, but the chief sat squatting on the ground, holding his sides and roaring with laughter.

And now the Bashkir chief arose, took the money from the ground, and shouted to the labourer, "Come! Dig!"

Then all the Bashkirs rose likewise and went away.

The labourer remained alone with the corpse. He dug Pakhom a grave, and there he buried him. The grave was three Russian ells in length, Pakhom's exact measurement from head to foot. 102

RV 237 (BUDDENBROOKS) and sit in the twilight on the end of the breakwater, with your face turned to the open horizon. Great ships passed by, and you signalled them with your handkerchief; and you listened to the little waves slapping softly against the stones; and the whole space about you was filled with a soft and mighty sighing. It spoke so benignly to little Johann! it bade him close his eyes, it told him that all was well. But just then Ida would say, “Come, little Hanno. It’s supper-time. We must go. If you were to sit here and go to sleep, you’d die.” How calm his heart felt, how evenly it beat, after a visit to the sea! Then he had his supper in his room—for his mother ate later, down in the glass verandah—and drank milk or malt extract, and lay down in his little bed, between the soft old linen sheets, and almost at once sleep overcame him, and he slept, to the subdued rhythm of the evening concert and the regular pulsations of his quiet heart.

On Sunday the Senator appeared, with the other gentlemen who had stopped in town during the week, and remained until Monday morning. Ices and champagne were served at the table-d’hôte, and there were donkey-rides and sailing-parties out to the open sea. Still, little Johann did not care much for these Sundays. The peaceful isolation of the bathing-place was broken in upon. A crowd of townsfolk—good middle-class trippers, Ida Jungmann called them—populated the Kurgarden and crowded the beach, drank coffee and listened to the music. Hanno would have liked to stay in his room until these kill-joys in their Sunday clothes went away again. No, he was glad when everything returned to its regular course on Monday—and he felt relieved to feel his father’s eyes no more upon him.

Two weeks had passed; and Hanno said to himself, and to every one who would listen to him, that there was still as much time left as the whole of the Michaelmas holidays amounted to. It consoled him to say this, but after all it was a specious consolation, for the crest of the holidays had been reached, and from now on they were going downhill—

RV 238 (BUDDENBROOKS) so quickly, so frightfully quickly, that he would have liked to cling to every moment, not to let it escape; to lengthen every breath he drew of the sea-air; to taste every second of his joy.

But the time went on, relentless: in rain and sun, sea-wind and land-wind, long spells of brooding warmth and endless noisy storms that could not get away out to sea and went on for ever so long. There were days on which the north-east wind filled the bay with dark green floods, covered the beach with seaweed, mussels, and jelly-fish, and threatened the bathing-huts. The turbid, heavy sea was covered far and wide with foam. The mighty waves came on in awful, awe-inspiring calm, and the under side of each was a sharp metallic green; then they crashed with an ear-splitting roar, hissing and thundering along the sand. There were other days when the west wind drove back the sea for a long distance, exposing a gently rolling beach and naked sandbanks everywhere, while the rain came down in torrents. Heaven, earth, and sea flowed into each other, and the driving wind carried the rain against the panes so that not drops but rivers flowed down, and made them impossible to see through. Then Hanno stayed in the salon of the Kurhouse and played on the little piano that was used to play waltzes and schottisches for the balls and was not so good for improvising on as the piano at home: still one could sometimes get amusing effects out of its muffled and clacking keys. And there were still other days, dreamy, blue, windless, broodingly warm, when the blue flies buzzed in the sun above the Leuchtenfield, and the sea lay silent and like a mirror, without stir or breath. When there were only three days left Hanno said to himself, and to everybody else, that the time remaining was just as long as a Whitsuntide holiday; but, incontestable as this reckoning was, it did not convince even himself. He knew now that the man in the worsted coat was right, and that they would, in very truth,

RV 239 (BUDDENBROOKS) begin again where they had left off, and go on to this and that.

The laden carriage stood before the door. The day had come. Early in the morning Hanno had said good-bye to sea and strand. Now he said it to the waiters as they received their fees, to the music pavilion, the rose-beds, and the whole long summer as well. And amid the bows of the hotel servants the carriage drove off.

They passed the avenue that led to the little town, and rolled along the front. Ida Jungmann sat, white-haired, bright-eyed, and angular, opposite Hanno on the back seat, and he squeezed his head into the corner and looked past her out of the window. The morning sky was overcast; the Trave was full of little waves that hurried before the wind. Now and then rain-drops spattered the pane. At the farther end of the front, people sat before their house doors and mended nets; barefoot children ran past, and stared inquisitively at the occupants of the carriage. They did not need to go away!

As they left the last houses behind, Hanno bent forward once more to look after the lighthouse; then he leaned back and closed his eyes. “We’ll come back again next year, darling,” Ida Jungmann said in her grave, soothing voice. It needed only that to make Hanno’s chin tremble and the tears run down beneath his long dark lashes.

His face and hands were brown from the sea air. But if his stay at the baths had been intended to harden him, to give him more resistance, more energy, more endurance, then it had failed of its purpose; and Hanno himself was aware of this lamentable fact. These four weeks of sheltered peace and adoration of the sea had not hardened him: they had made him softer than ever, more dreamy and more sensitive. He would be no better able to endure the rigours of Herr Tietge’s class. The thought of the rules and history dates which he had to get by heart had not lost its power to

And he would be exactly as much afraid of catastrophes at the recitation hour, of his enemies the Hagenströms, and of his father’s injunctions not to be faint-hearted whatever else he was.

But he felt cheered a little by the fresh morning drive through flooded country roads, amid the twitterings of birds. He thought of seeing Kai again, and Herr Pfühl; of his music lessons, the piano and his harmonium. And as the morrow was Sunday, a whole day still intervened between him and the first lesson-hour. He could feel a few grains of sand from the beach, still inside his buttoned boot—how lovely! He would ask old Grobleben to leave them there. Let it all begin again—the worsted-coats, the Hagenströms, and the rest. He had what he had. When the waves of tribulation went over him once more he would think of the sea and of the Kurgarden, and of the sound made by the little waves, coming hither out of the mysterious slumbering distance. One single memory of the sound they made as they plashed against the breakwater could make him oppose an invincible front to all the pains and penalties of his life.

Then came the ferry, and Israelsdorfer Avenue, Jerusalem Hill, and the Castle Field, on the right side of which rose the walls of the prison where Uncle Weinschenk was. Then the carriage rolled along Castle Street and over the Koberg, crossed Broad Street, and braked down the steep decline of Fishers’ Lane. There was the red house-front with the bow-window and the white caryatides; and as they went from the midday warmth of the street into the coolness of the stone-flagged entry the Senator, with his pen in his hand, came out of the office to greet them.

Slowly, slowly, with secret tears, little Johann learned to live without the sea; to lead an existence that was frightened and bored by turns; to keep out of the way of the

RV 241 (BUDDENBROOKS) Hagenströms; to console himself with Kai and Herr Pfühl and his music.

The Broad Street Buddenbrooks and Aunt Clothilde, directly they saw him again, asked him how he liked school after the holidays. They asked it teasingly, with that curiously superior and slighting air which grown people assume toward children, as if none of their affairs could possibly be worthy of serious consideration; but Hanno was proof against their questions.

Three or four days after the home-coming, Dr. Langhals, the family physician, appeared in Fishers’ Lane to observe the results of the cure. He had a long consultation with the Frau Senator, and then Hanno was summoned and put, half undressed, through a long examination of his “status praesens,” as Dr. Langhals called it, looking at his fingernails. He tested Hanno’s heart action and measured his chest and his lamentable muscular development. He inquired particularly after all his functions, and lastly, with a hypodermic syringe, took a drop of blood from Hanno’s slender arm to be tested at home. He seemed, in general, not very well satisfied.

“We’ve got rather brown,” he said, putting his arm around Hanno as he stood before him. He arranged his small black-felled hand upon the boy’s shoulder, and looked up at the Frau Senator and Ida Jungmann. “But we still look very down in the mouth.”

“He is homesick for the sea,” said Gerda Buddenbrook.

“Oh, so you like being there?” asked Dr. Langhals, looking with his shallow eyes into Hanno’s face. Hanno coloured. What did Dr. Langhals mean by his question, to which he plainly expected an answer? A fantastic hope rose up in him, inspired by the belief that nothing was impossible to God—despite all the worsted-coated men there were in the world.

“Yes,” he brought out, with his wide eyes full upon Dr. Langhals’ face. But after all, it seemed, the physician had

RV 242 (BUDDENBROOKS) nothing particular in mind when he asked the question.

“Well, the effect of the bathing and the good air is bound to show itself in time,” Dr. Langhals said. He tapped little Johann on the shoulder and then put him away, with a nod toward the Frau Senator and Ida Jungmann—a superior, benevolent nod, the nod of the omniscient physician, used to have people hanging on his lips. He got up, and the consultation was at an end.

It was Aunt Antonie who best understood his yearning for the sea, and the wound in his heart that healed so slowly and was so likely to bleed afresh under the strain of everyday life. Aunt Antonie loved to hear him talk about Travemünde, and entered freely into his longings and enthusiasm.

“Yes, Hanno,” she said, “the truth is the truth, and Travemünde is and always will be a beautiful spot. Till I go down to my grave I shall remember the weeks I spent there when I was a slip of a girl—and such a silly young girl! I lived with people I was fond of, and who seemed to care for me; I was a pretty young thing in those days,—though I’m an old woman now—and full of life and high spirits. They were splendid people, I can tell you, respectable and kindhearted and straight-thinking; and they were cleverer and better educated, too, than any I’ve known since, and they had more enthusiasm, Yes, my life seemed very full when I lived with them, and I learned a great deal which I’ve never forgotten—information, beliefs, opinions, ways of looking at things. If other things hadn’t interfered—as all sorts of things did, the way life does, you know—I might have learned a great deal more from them. Shall I tell you how silly I was in those days? I thought I could get the pretty star out of the jelly-fish, and I carried a quantity home with me and spread them in the sun on the balcony to dry. But when I looked at them again, of course there was nothing but a big wet spot, and a smell of rotten sea-weed.”

the beginning of the year 1873 the Senate pardoned Hugo Weinschenk, and the former Director left prison, six months before his time was up.

Frau Permaneder, if she had told the truth, would have admitted that she was not so very glad. She had been living peacefully with her daughter and granddaughter in Linden Place, and had for society the house in Fishers’ Lane and her friend Armgard von Maiboom, who had lived in the town since her husband’s death. Frau Antonie had long been aware that there was no place for her outside the walls of her native city. She had her Munich memories, her weak digestion, and an increasing need of quiet and repose; and she felt not the least inclination to move to a large city of the united Fatherland, still less to migrate to another country.

“My dear child,” she said to her daughter, “I must ask you something very serious. Do you still love your husband with your whole heart? Would you follow him with your child wherever he went in the wide world—as, unfortunately, it is not possible for him to remain here?”

And Frau Erica Weinschenk, amid tears that might have meant anything at all, replied just as dutifully as Tony herself, in similar circumstances, had once replied to the same question, in the villa outside Hamburg. So it was necessary to contemplate a parting in the near future.

On a day almost as dreadful as the day when he had been arrested, Frau Permaneder brought her son-in-law from the prison, in a closed carriage, to her house in Linden Place. And there he stayed, after he had greeted his wife and child in a dazed, helpless way, in the room that had been pre-

RV 244 (BUDDENBROOKS) pared for him, smoking from early to late, without going out, without even taking his meals with his family—a broken grey-haired man.

He had always had a very strong constitution, and the prison life could hardly have impaired his physical health. But his condition was, none the less, pitiable in the extreme. This man had in all probability done no more than his business colleagues did every day and thought nothing of; if he had not been caught, he would have gone on his way with head erect and conscience clear. Yet it was dreadful to see how his ruin as a citizen, the judicial correction, and the three years’ imprisonment, had operated to break down his morale. His testimony before the court had been given with the most sincere conviction; and people who understood the technicalities of the case supported his contention that he had merely executed a bold manœuvre for the credit of his firm and himself—a manœuvre known in the business world as usance. The lawyers who had convicted him knew, in his opinion, nothing whatever about such things and lived in quite a different world. But their conviction, endorsed by the governing power of the state, had shattered his self-esteem to such a degree that he could not look anybody in the face. Gone was his elastic tread, the way he had of wriggling at the waist of his frock-coat and balancing with his fists and rolling his eyes about. Gone was the ignorant self-assurance with which he had delivered his uniformed opinions and put his questions. The change was such that his family shuddered at it—and indeed it was frightful to see such cowardice, dejection, and lack of self-respect.

Herr Hugo Weinschenk spent eight or ten days doing nothing but smoking: then he began to read the papers and write letters. The consequence of the letters was that after another eight or ten days he explained vaguely that there seemed to be a position for him in London, whither he wished to travel alone to arrange matters personally, and then to send for wife and child.

RV 245 (BUDDENBROOKS) Accompanied by Erica, he drove to the station in a closed carriage and departed without having once seen any other members of the family.

Some days later a letter addressed to his wife arrived from Hamburg. It said that he had made up his mind not to send for his wife and child, or even to communicate with them, until such time as he could offer them a life fitting for them to live. And this letter was the very last sign of life from Hugo Weinschenk. No one from then henceforward heard anything from him. The experienced Frau Permaneder made several energetic attempts to get into touch with him, in order, as she importantly explained, to get evidence upon which to sue him for divorce on the ground of wilful desertion. But he was, and remained, missing. And thus it came about that Erica Weinschenk and her small daughter Elisabeth remained now, as before, with Erica’s mother, in the light and airy apartment in Linden Place.
