...almost unbelievable lack of ordinary foresight for which Soviet supporters are traditionally famous. Frankly, we have been perhaps somewhat diffident when the delights of Bolshevism have been described to us. The whole thing seems too tame, too common-place for words. The frantic mobs in the streets of Moscow cannot compare to the lunch hour at Jimmie's. The pools of blood in the public squares at Patrograd are nothing to one familiar with Harvard Square slush. Even the wildest extremes of Bolshevik art fail to stir those of us who have gazed upon Memorial Hall. On the whole...
...Story spent over a year in Russia, returning to this country from Vladivostok last December. He was first sent by the Y. M. C. A. to Moscow, where he witnessed the revolution of October, 1917.

For the most part these men have received adequate treatment in the hospitals which are maintained by the sanitary department of the army, the Russian Red Cross, and the Zempsvos Union. While in many ways Russia is capable of taking care of her wounded we found a great lack...
...army enthusiastically supports the most eloquent speaker,--in short, the entire tern of affairs, however definite it may have been is unrecognizable shifted. From the meager reports that come through, it can be gleaned that the counter revolution is already under way, that the Army is supporting it, that Moscow is again in the hands of the Loyalists, and Petrograd about to be. But the truly significant feature is that Kerensky. Korniloff, and Miliukoff are now fighting on the same side, subordinating their personal quarrels to the common good. If this means the Kerensky has been won over...
