WHAT CAN RUSSIA DO THIS

(Stanley Washburn In Review Of Re-

The question which seems upper
most In practically everyone's mind
In America In regard TO Russia Is
whether or not she Will be able TO
come back" this summer with an Inn
portant offensive, This Is purely a
question OF material. II must be un-
derstood that there will never In this
war be d shortage OF men In Russia,
and that she can continue raising mil
lions as fast as she can find arms to
put In their hands and shells 10 shoot.
The lack OF these Is the one vital reas-
ON for Russian disaster.
| am personally of the opinion that
by the first of June Russia should have
n better equipped ana larger army at
her disposal than at any time during
me- war. The empire Of the car saw
It's ebb from a military point of view
In August and September. 1915, and
since then the tide has been coming
steadily back. Those who see the
German prisoners these days cannot
but notice the difference IN the men
that are now being sent to the firing
line.
From the point Of human material,
Germany certainly passed her zenith
last summer. Day by day her tide IL

There Is Just one contingency In
which the administration would be
justified In withdrawing the troops
from Mexico before villa has been
