racy and liberty and ever be a threat

of Russia
These rumors were due to misappre-
hension Of the significance and event
lful processes of reorganization which
the army was to undergo as a result of
the emancipation of the country. Like
the nation, the army, an offspring of
the people, had to be built on demo-
cratic lines. Such work takes time and
friction. and partial disorganization
must be overcome
"The national program Of the govern
ment calls for effective organization
and consolidation of the arIny's fight
ing power for offensive as well as de-
fensive purposes. This has been the
outcome of the capitalization of the
as to warfare which has rallied around
the government 1ussia's democracy,
giving its leaders vigor and strength.
Peaceful in Its Intentions striving for
lasting peace based on democratic
principles and established by demo-
cratic will, the Russian people and it's
army are rallying their forces around
> the banners of freedom, Strengthening
. their ranks in cheerful self-conscious-
ness: to die. but not to be slaves.
Russia wants tho world to be safe
for democracy. To make 1t safe means
to have democracy rule the world"
Senate Votes Satisfaction.
Senators shook hands at the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies with all MEM
bers Of the commission, some of whom
were in full-dress military uniforms
The Senate afterward, by unanimous
consent, adopted resolution by Sen

Of the determination of the Russian
people in their new found liberty and
republican institutions to defend and

that Russia will be entirely success

equal blessings of an honorable and
enduring peace"

Race for First Place.

The last day of the campaign devel-
oped a pretty neck-and-neck finish. with
Englewood, Montclair and Red Bank
striving for first place in per capita
money raised. With scattering reports
still arriving, 1t is difficult to give the
final standing. Englewood 10 probably
leading. with Montclair and Red Bank
fighting hard for second place. but any
piexion Of the race. Each Of these
towns has raised more than $13 per
head Of population. Red Bank has
passed it's original apportfonment Of
$4,000 twenty times over.
In the final drive over tho one-hun-
dred- million line yesterday the New
England district was the first to reach
its goal. Several hours before midnight
the total for the six New England
states namely. Massachusetts. Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island, Maine. Vermont and
New Hampshire, was more than $1,000
900. These New England states set out
to raise $7.950.000, and their report this
morning. with many cities still to be
heard from. was 3s.o33.619.
