WHAT WILL RUSSIA WANT.

II Russia succeeds in Overrunning
Germany while France and England
engage the larger part OF the German
army in the west what will Russia
demand as a reward for her services
England and France may be trust
ed TO take no advantage Of success
which might or materially would
change the map OK Europe. France
wants what she regards as her own.
Alsace and Lorraine, but Great Britain
Is not seeking territory on the CONT
nent. Ostensibly and probably sin
cerely Great Britain is hghting for
the autonomy Of Europe
IL may be unjust TO suspect Russia
Of Interior motives. but if we do sus-
pect her she has none to blame but
herself. Russia is popularity regard
ed among the nations as having sin
lister purposes. She is not believed
capable of the magnanimous motives
with which Great Britain is credited.
Her aims are at least suspected of be-
ing sOrdid.
There is little in common or in
sympathy between Russia and the
other )rld powers. A race distirc-
ton draws an ineffaceable line be-
tween her and the Teutons. the Gauls.
the Saxons and the Latin races. The
homogeneity which enables the lat
ter TO more intimatel-, understand and
associate with each other does not ex-
tend TO the Slav.
Russia may be described like the
first Napoleon. as grand. gloomy and
peculiar" She lives apart from her
neighbors for lack OF congeniality,
perhaps not in her people. but in her
institutions. she has not hitched her
wagon 10 the star which has advanced
her sister nations along the path OF
progress. Her ambitions have CEN
iered and ended in governmental or
ganization. in grasping new territory
TO add To her already vast possessions
and TO extend the rule OF the Slavic
hand wherever IL has been possible TO
do so.
Whenever Russia has gained an ad-
vantage she has extorted "A toll. What
will be the price Of her aid in the sub
jugation OF Germanf if that new
doubtful result is obtained? Militar-

SHIPPERS MUST TAKE CHANCES

An interesting opinion relative TO
United States trade with foreign coun-
tries engaged in war has been given
state department. The solicitor says
il will not be an unneutral act to ship
meats 10 the German government or
any other belligerent.
Though the solicitor does not say
so this opinion would apply TO other
foods as well as meats and leave
American producers unrestricted IN
their business intercourse with other
nations whether at war or not In
ternational law provides. according to
the solicitor that If shipments are
intended Tor the consumption OF non
combatants or other peaceful use they
would not be subject TO seizure as con
traband OF war. but II destined for
army or government use they would
De liable TO conhscation.
The point is that American pro-
ducers may ship food OF any kind to
any port in the world without disturb
ing the neutrality OF the United States
but they must take their chances Of
loss through the operation OF belliger-
ency unless the government should
choose 20 insure shipments. The risk
is great whether consignments are
made 10 the combatants or noncom-
batants OF any country at war. Cruisers
patrolling the sea cannot be expected
10 discriminate closely between ship
ments.

THE WARS TRAGEDY.

The truly calamitous and distress
ing feature of the European war thus
far has not been the destruction of
stately cities, the ruthless slaughter of
brave men, or tine suffering of women
and innocent children. Rather has it
been the tragic interruption of the
triumphal tour of Mrs. Charles II. An
thony in her Muncie-made Mother
Hubbards, slit skirts, and transparent
gowns. This statuesque dame, who
several years ago gathered in great
gobs of nOtOriety Oy displaying some
rather large shoes with diamOnd-Stud
ded heels undertook this summer to
dazzle Europe with her HOosier sar-
torial creations and she had scarcely
landed when the war broke out. Eu-
ropeans being in no laughing mood,
poor Mrs. Anthony was quite lost
sight of and has now returned to
America in no amiable frame of mind.
She is obliged TO waste her perfume
on the desert air. SO TO speak, or lest
fgurative language be misunderstood
and some remarks be made concern
ing the advantages of wearing shields,
let us say she is forced to lavish her
splendorS on blinking social bats of
dreary old Muncie. The gowns that
were patterned 10 make the eyes of
princes pop and cause duchesses to
despair must now be profaned by be-
ing paraded for the plebian and un-
pretending gaze of such miser-
able yOkels as old Hitchcock, Doc
Mix and George Lockwood. 1t is all
decidedly sad and our sympathies are
all with the outraged lady. She has
been robbed OF that more blessed

OUR DOLLAR DIPLOMACY.

The ambassadOrship TO Argentina is
reported as going begging because the
administration is not able to find a
suitable millionaire who IS willing to
accept the post. That is, indeed a re-
markable condition in the diplomatic
affairs of a republic. Ours is a gov
eminent of the people. We are sup
| posed to pick our representatives from
among the rank and file If our pOpu-
! lation, and on merit. Yet such is the
situation in which We find ourselves,
only wealthy Americans who are will
ing TO spend their own money freely
are eligible TO represent US at the cap
itals of the world.
The present defect in our diplomatic
service precludes making appoint
ments solely on merit. A poor man
or a citizen in moderate circum
stances is barred from many of the
! most important diplomatic posts. The
situation is unworthy OF US as the
worlds greatest republic. Further
more il weakens our diplomatic staff
and creates a wrong impression
! among the citizens of our neighbor
nations. We send a succession of
multi-millionaires to be our foreign
am bassadors and ministers. They may
have diplomatic ability. but their
chief claim to distinction very often is
founded on the laVishness OF their ex-
penditures. Each tries 10 make
regal splurge 10 his own glorification
and in the name Of the United States.
1t is undemOcratic and Unamerican.
We should lose no time in placing
our diplomatic posts on a basis that
would open them 10 all Americans of
ability. regardless of wealth. The first
step toward that end would be to
provide suitable embassy buildings at
foreign capitals, and to maintain
them. The buildings should be in
keeping with the dignity and import
ance Of the United States and they
should be maintained on that scale.
Much depends on the impression

Ii may have been some huge bird, but
il occurs 20 me that the most plausible
J theory is that Langley has at last
succeeded in flying his airship. Now
| If you were TO run and see him and
get a statement that he did fly over
the Potomac you can see what
feather il will be in your cap. / wish
l had my work up so that l could go
myself. Still. you're new on the paper
and I'd like TO see you have your
chance"
Steckman was young and ambitious
and full of enthusiasm and did not
wait TO hear any more. He dashed
out into the street and inquired the
way TO Langley's office over at the
Smithsonian Institute.
Now, imagine the situation. Langley
was about ready TO kill any newspaper
man who dared so much as even men
ton the word flying machine. and
here was a chap who had the sublime
effrOntery to walk boldly in and ask
him casually if he had been flying
about a bit that morning.
If YOU have ever been butteG all
over the back lot with a pet goat and
then had some waggish neighbor drop
over TO inquire how you're getting
along with the goat, you may frame
up some idea of how Langley felt
rlgnI at tndl HOueul. 1t never OC-
Cured TO him that Steckman had
come for the purpose except to make
sport of his failure 10 fly.
In a rage Langley began TO roar and
erupt a stream of depreciating cpl
thets. Steckman was so frightened
and startled that he never even
thought to run. All he could think
of was what an attractive world and
what a lot of good friends he would
leave behind him.
Finally he managed TO utter a re
mark that he was new in town and
had come in the utmost good faith.
When the storm had subsidized some
what ne endeavOred 10 convince Lang
ley that he was not a professional
joker.
We'll, I'll take a chance on you
said Langley, III dictate a statement
showing just what il is I'm working
on"
He called in a stenographer and die
tated a long explanation of his scien-
tific work in the weighing of air cur
rents, and the difficulties of getting a
motor that would overcome the varia-
tons in the different strata Of air en-
cOuntered-the same problem that has
been one Of the chief puzzles OF aerial
navigators down to the present day.
Use il or garble II or mutilate what
/ say in whatever you're Of mind 10"
enjoined Langley. as Steckman started
away. but I'm going TO take a chance
on you just because you have rather
intelligent fact"
To the great establishment OF those
who were holding in their laughter
until Steckman should return, he re-
entered the newspaper office neither
crippled nor empty handed
Instead he quietly sat down and re-
vamped the first statement ever given
TO the public by Langley about the

hand. He went to Huerta and arranged with him to permit a train of refugees to depart und- CT the British flag. The depart ure of the train was announced at 4 o'clock at the various em- bassies. The hour was set for 6 o'clock. From every corner of the city Americans hurried to the station in the tarpaulined "coches" and curtained taxicabs. The platforms were filled with hooting Mexicans held back at last by a reserve of soldiers.
 At the last hour word went about the American colony that it would be unsafe to take the train, and many Americans re- turned to their homes, preferr- ing to hide there than to risk being attacked on the train. There are still 400 Americans marooned in Mexico City, 400 in Guadalarjara and 39 Americans including women and children, who tried to leave Aguas Cali entes, in a Pullman and were at tackled by a mob, but saved by Hurdles, are practically prison CTS in that city.
