Russia will probably be unable to again
The collapse of Russia, the breakdown
of the steam roller. Is the most crush
ing fact of the war. Russia's allies. and
particularly England. expected the Slavs
last summer to prove themselves the de-
Cisive factor in the war The inferior
military capacity demonstrated by the
Russians against the Japanese was ig-
nored. and a new birth OF strategic
genius was expected to occur in the
Cars Empire which would carry the
Russian arms across Germany to Berlin.
In those days, which now seem to fade
into the middle ages. people were ask
ing wondcringly why the prideful Ger
mans had never fortified Berlin. This
inexplicable circumstance was expected
to be of great assistance to the Slays.
and was counted upon TO permit the
steam roller to move unimpeded along
the Inter den Linden.
Penalty of Inefficiency.
But the past four seasons Of fighting
have shown that an empire not eT-
fiCis ntly guided in the days of peace
cannot suddenly transform itself into
an effective organization for war after
hostilities break out. Modern warfare
has proven itself to be the most tech
nical of all the arts and professions
but at the same time 1t has demon
strated that the qualities of leadership
1t demands do not differ in nature from
those capacities for organization

Russia, a second-class industrial ma.

had Russia revealed a special aptitude
for war. the absolutist sway of tn.
Cars would have become Europe's new
peril after the end of the present war
But, civilization has been saved from
that peril, and Russia has been taught
that she must work out her destiny b!
peaceful effort.

Petrograd. (by mail.)-The evacua-
ton OF the large cities that Russia has
abandoned to the Germans is a task the
immensely Of which may be judged
from figures now available concerning
the partial evacuation OF Riga. The
population of Riga has not been
seriously disturbed, the city having
about as many inhabitants as al the
beginning of the war, since many refu-
gees have gathered there from the Bal
tic districts occupied by the Germans,
but 400 factories, of which so belong
to German subjects, ave been Gcans-
planted to interior provinces. Earring
the evacuation period from $50 10 200
cars were dispatched daily, n
In all $4,000 carloads of machinery,
metals and raw materials were shipped
out of Riga. The work continued for
two months.

the skilled workers of the factories

Is an unmarried girl, well along in

Few who stand at the altar, receiv-

Ihey start from the first step to look
into the book wherein they will find
experience.
The bright, intelligent daughter
whose husband is easy going will,
nine times out Of 10, make a careful,
business wife. He forms a habit Of
wholly relying upon her judgment; OF
shifting the care of the household and
making ends meet entirely upon her
young shoulders. She learns a lesson,
after q short time, that there is more
business depending upon her increas-

What in the world could he do with
U her? he pleads in flattering words.
Her parents 500 see that he was
in selecting one of business
proclivities, while her sisters, know
ing nothing of the cost or maintenance
of home or upkeep, lead butterfly
lives in rounds of pleasure. The habit
OF careful watching over home require
ments In preference to leading a gay
life will never prove woman's undoing.
Such a n is often the uprising Of a
man who never would have been worth
a dollar had he married the other kind
of a girl.
1t must not be forgotten that when
a man secures such a wifely prize he
should not fail to act the part of the
lover toward her to q certain extent,
and not let her interest in devotion
lag. Matrimony is sensible and allur-
ing with a good, loving, wife, and hus-
band who appreciates her ability and
never ceases to be thankful that they
found each other.

CONVERSATIONS OF WAR.

A British Captain, in The Atlantic.
/ have read much of late of the
horror and sacrifice of war, yet the
men Il see round me prove that
there are compensations. We nay
have lost a couple of hundred thou
sand men and we may lose half a.
million more, but against this must
be balanced those 3.000,000 new men
who 12 months age were living the
life of cities and the rural life of
selfish fdieness or ill-paid toll. Some
we're clerks, others We're shopmen,
others were rustics not far removed
from the serfs. For close on a
year they have lived a mans life
In the open, and anybody seeing
them would recognize at 4 glance
hat they are twice the men today
thar they were at5Fthis time last
year. Striking a balance, it seems
+ to me that with all U losses,
past or to be. we British are some
thing to the good. and that in losing
WE have gained inarneasurably. and
that out of these present sorrows
we may emerge stronger, saner, and
before.
