THE STRUGGLE FOR RIGA

The day-to-day war bulletins from
Berlin and Petrograd attest the des-
perate struggle that is going on for
the possession of Riga-on the part of
Won Hindenburg to get that city and.
the neighboring terrain, on the part of
the Russians to keep it.
Situated on the extreme northern
flank of the German eastern armies.
Riga is of supreme Importance as the
lines are now shaped Napoleon
fought desperately for the same posi-
tion, to protect his wing, while he
marched to Moscow. The Germans
struck at it, both by land and sea,
preliminary to their last sweep across
Poland. They finally pushed beyond
Warsaw, disregarding Riga; but it is
not to be disregarded if they are to
be secure in their winter trenches.
The other day, Berlin reported that
Won Hindenburg had "repulsed two
assaults, and withdrew before third
one could be launched" Yesterday
mornings news was that he had re-
sumed his advance in force-last even
ing's that he had withdrawn again.
The Russian strength in that region is
increasing with every day that passes.
The Russian fleet, assisted by the
British in the Baltic, has been able to
repulse every attempt of the German
navy to help the army by seizing
Riga from the gulf.
The situation is evidently critical
for the Germans. The favorable re-
suits, counted on by the General Staff,
from the great drive. will be serious
ly impaired, if the whole campaign is
not jeopardized, if the Russians hold
out in the northern sector. Since
they have been able to do so up to
this time, it would appear that they
can BATTLE Won Hindenburg to the end.

EARL KIrcHENER,s MISSION

The report that Earl Kitchener's
dual destination is Egypt and India
is highly interesting. It had been an
nounced that he was bound for the
Near East a phrase interpreted to
mean the Balkans; and, indeed, it is
still intimated that he may go first
to Saloniki and assist in the solution
of the pressing Serbian problem.
If there is serious unrest in Great
Britain's African and Asiatic possess
sions, Lord Kitchener is just the man
to study and allay it, for he has
served in both Egypt and India and
he knows the native temper as we'll
as any westerner can.
Further news of the reported dis
affection in these faraway countries
will be eagerly awaited. It is easily
credible that German propagandists
have been busy there, as in the Unit
ed States; but it is difficult to be-
lieve that a situation Of extreme seri-
BUSINESS to the British Empire will de-
velOp. Here and there such incidents
may occur as called for rigorous
treatment not long ago at Singapore;
but India in particular has given a
splendid example of loyalty and self
sacrifice since the war began.

ONE THINe IN coMMoN

The men who are fighting in Eu-
rope are fighting for different ideals
as well as for different sovereigns.
That which drives them into military
service differs with their language,
heritage and belief; the training that
they have received has differed all
the way from a perfect completeness
to an almost negligible quantity; some
are made to serve under officers alien
to them; some are bound in their
service by standards almost wholly of
class and serve because they must;
some are serving as in a pure de-
mocracy-giving ready obedience to
those who, for the time, are in au-
thority over them.
The forms of government to which
the soldiers of Europe give allegiance
are as far apart as the poles. From
the absolutism of Russia, through the
weakness of Turkish rule and the iron
strength Of Germany up to the rather
guarded republicanism of France and
the freedom of Great Britain's nomi-
nally monarchic rule, every kind of
government is represented. The his
torical backgrounds of the peoples are
not less varied than their tongues
and in the armies of Europe today
every western language is used as well
as some Of those of the Orient. The
war has brought together the most
marvellous mixture of men ever known
since the world began, and there is
just one thing they all have in COM
mon-and that is courage.
Courage undaunted was shown in
the very first days of the war by the
Belgians who resisted against tre-
mendous odds and by the Germans
who charged supposedly impregnable
positions in mass formation; the
French troops have most wonderful
evidences Of splendid, buoyant cour-
age as they, badly equipped, conspicu-
ously uniformed, hastily mobilized,
went out to meet an army trained in
the last word of military science. The
British-a "thin red line" indeed, at
first-gave new proof of the qualities
of bulldog tenacity and courage from
