RUSSIA'S WAR MOTTO.
STRENGTH AND CALMNESS.
NATION OF WORKERS.
Times and Sydney Sun Services.
London, September 24. Telegraphing from Moscow, Mr. Stephen Graham, the well-known correspondent, says: There is feverish activity in the homes, factories and workshops. One of the commonest notices is the emblem of a sword and a hammer crossed, and the words 'All for war.' How anxious the people are is revealed by an incident that happened in Moscow. An evening 'paper published the announcement that the Dardanelles had fallen. The populace crowded into the main streets and sang the Russian National Anthem. A dreary disillusionment arrived with the morrow. The official gazettes say that the people must not expect much before the autumn in Gallipoli. " The spiritual barometer is rising rapidly throughout Russia. Odessa is calm, and Moscow is calm. Except for the absence of young men it is difficult to notice any alteration in every-day life, yet there are many real changes. Food i 3 much dearer, railway travelling is 25 per cent, costlier, and the rouble has decreased 50 per cent, in value. ' Organise' is the social watchword of the hour. Though Warsaw has fallen, and Riga is in danger, Russia remains calm."
