' Dressed all in black except for a little white at the throat and the wrists, and carrying a . large hand kerchief, and with her large face so calm and her manner, even under the most trying circumstances, en tirely composed and peaceful, she seemed the embodiment of the great qualities which the minority of the Russian, people possess in such a high measure. , Mr. Howell introduced her with evident emotion, professing himself most highly honored with the privi lege of introducing 'one of the greatest women the world has ever known." j Mme. Breshkovsky spoke for half an hour in English. She pointed out the difference between Amer ica's easy acquisition of liberty and Russia's long struggle. "Justice is the foundation of the Russian psychology," she said. "Through our centuries of histoiy we have struggled. On one side the great Mongolian hordes have men aced us continually. On the other j side we have the Prussian and oth ers. ' ' ' ' Kept in Ignorance. "And always we have been kept in ignorance.

"And my peasants said, Go, grandmother, we, also, believe America will help us. Russia Will Decide. Dr. Egbert, secretary of the fund, was a medical officer in Russia dur ing the war. He declared that the Russian situation and possibilities will decide whether or not Germany will sign the peace treaty. He Dointed out the tremendous possi bilities of a renewal of war and a control of the civilized world by Germany, which are contained in the disposition of Russia. ' He said Russia has three times the natural wealth of the United States, with tremendous man power, and that if Germany can get con trol of this she will restore autoc racy in both Germany .and Russia and be a greater menace than ever to the world of democracy. More Russians were killed than all the soldiers mobilized by the United States, he said. At the conclusion of Mme. Bresh kovsky's address and following the bolshevist demonstration in the gallery a man arose in the balcony and . asked her to speak in Russian for the benefit of about 100 persons who could not understand English. .'MmeJy Breshkovsky did , this, speaking about 10 minutes. She was liberally applauded. Crowd Dispersed. The bolsheviki in the gallery left after their most ambitious riot had been quelled, making a great hub bub by loud walking and running on the steps.

It happened to be chiefly on a farm far inland, and he cared for pigs, chickens and ducks, and took such good care of the place that he won the good will of the two wo men who lived there, and they were willing to let him have all he want ed to eat, serving five meals a day, consisting of bread made of saw dust, and potatoes, kraut and potato soup, and, coffee made of burn, bread and bran. The owner of the place worked in an airplane factory and got home only once a week. When the news ot the signing ot the armistice came, the people re fused to accept it.

Mechanics who were working on the engines were ordered to aban don ship, Lt.. Charles G. Little re maining and endeavoring to Dull the rip cord and deflate theienvelope. inrasned wildly by the wind, the gasbag rebounded and everv sUv snapped. Lieutenant Little gave another tug at the rip cord and it broke. He leaped from the ship as the big bag rose and soared off. ihe loss of the bumn was a bit ter7 disappointment to Lieut. Cora, Emery W. Coyle and his crew oi five. They had brought the big ship over a 1.300-mile course from Mon- taUk Point with a performance rec-1 ord which they were confident would have brought the coveted order from the Navy department to at tempt the overseas flight, i Air Ride Rough. 1 The C-5, it is said, had performed perfectly on the trip from Montauk roinr, ana only final authorization irom Washington, a rout.ne inspec tion of the engines and replenish ment of fuel and supplies were nec essary oetore undertaking tne flighu 1 "Although the C-5 performed per fectly, the weather did not perform nearly so well," one of toe crew said. "It was the roughest ride I've evir had," he declared, "but this was due to the 'bumpy condition of the at mosphere, not to the ship.", At times, he continued, the winls careened the big ship until its en gines stood on end and stopped, but The dirigible was lost in the fog as soon as the ship righted itsel, the motors went to work again, for a time this morning over Ava lon peninsula, the southeaster! point of Newfoundland. For two hours it cruised about, seeking the landing field here which was known to the crew only by radio descrip tion. Radio directions received from the base served only to complicate the situation, for while the base was sending the bearings of the sending station from the C-5, the C-5's nav igatort interpreted them as the C-5'15 bearings from the station. Eventually Commander ' Coil sighted a narrow-gauge railroad, which he followed to St. John's.' The town of Topsail was then recognized and a direct course was laid which took the dirigible over Signal har-, . bor and the narrow mouth of the harbor, for a sharp turn north., through Cuckold's Cove toward Quidividi valley. . Lt. J. V. Lawrence, was at the i wfleel and effected a landing that elicited exclamations of applause from British airmen who had gath ered to welcome the airship. Commander Coil gave much of the - credit for the flight from Montauk Point to his pilots, Lieutenant Lawrence and Ensign D. P. Camp-, bell. The cold during the trip, he said, was almost numbing at times,'' but the pilots had hung on gamely. . although they had been compelled to ' divide their turns at tne wheel into ' short shifts. The ship occasionally made as . high as 76 miles an hour, though '" the average for the trip was only .", 48 miles. The direct course from ", Montauk was 1,200 miles, but an ad-;; ditional 100 miles was traversed in., seeking the landing place after ' reaching the Newfoundland coast.
