Any stronger declaration of neutrality would be interpreted as a too open desertion of Russia in time of need.

Finger rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches and other articles of personal adornment originated not from the aesthetic sense of our remote ancestors, but from their belief in magic. Even civilized men today sometimes entertain a superstitious regard for small stones and pebbles of peculiar shapo or color and carry them about as charms. The Greeks and Asiatics used stones, beads and crystals primarily as amulets and cut devices on them to- enhance their magical power. The use of such stones as seals was secondary and may at first have been for sacred purposes only. When a primitive people first find gold they value it only for its supposed magic and wear nuggets of it strung with beads. Jewelry and Manic.
