The Russian Debacle.

The full extent of the mutiny-the
exact nature of the strange infection
which has come to the Russian army
will not be known to the world for
days or weeks to come. The facts
are puzzling; perhaps the key to them
when it is provided, will be even
more puzzling.
What is it that caused this sudden
change of heart in the Slav soldiers?
For three weeks they had been con-
Quoting a victorious offensive, one
which had caused concern to Berlin
and Vienna. They had been stopped
by the arrival OF Teuton reserves;
and this hating of their forward
march seems to have been sIgnalized
by wholesale assertions, by a new
outcropping of extreme Socialist and
anarchistic rioting in Petrograd, and by
other things calculated to undermine
the central government and the exist
ing order OF things in Russia.
The Russian soldier, it is well
Known, has been under slack disci-
pline for months; but his courage, his
gameness, his ability to withstand
punishment and his fidelity in the face
Of adversely, have won the admiration
Of the world. The most Nfrightful con-
ditions that ever faced fighting men
were endured by the Russian army in
the fall Of 1915. Yet they held man.
fully to the struggle. sans guns. sans
equipment sans everything, and
brought the German to the realiza-
ton that all he had gained out of his
sweeping offensive across Poland was
merely longer line to hold against
forces that were constantly increas-
ing their pressure.
But today. under. the aegis Of liberty.

HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature of
the COuntry's Best Newspapers.

Gov. Whitman has gone to the ex-
tent of his powers in summoning the
legislation to meet on the last day
OF July so that 1t may consider and,
II the governor can accomplish it, en-
act a bill into law which will have
for its purpose the elimination of a
grave danger that in the State of
New York there may be a shortage
of food and certainly will be il the
war be continued and preparations to
prevent that shortage are not now
taken. 1t Is the governors mind that
this legislation may be regarded as
worthy of imitation by other States
For some conditions now prevailing
suggest that only by legislation and the
preemptory power OF State as we'll
as the Federal governments can spec
ulation in food and other necessaries
of life be prevented
The bill which Gov. Whitman has
caused to be drafted, or at least the
recommendations he will make to the
legislature in the hope that they will
be embodied In the bill. unquestionably
reflects the profound, voluntary and
unrecompensed service. excepting that
which is reflected in performing a pub
lie duty, to which George w. Perkins
has, for more than a year and espe-
cially since the United States became
one of the belligerents, given all his
time. Mr.. Perkins found from his
study of conditions that four factors
enter into the equation which, If
solved, will furnish the answer to the
serious food problem. The first Of
these factors is production. Mr.. Per-
kins after personal study, combined
with the reports made to him by those
who are competent and of expert au-
thority, was sometime ago persuaded
that New York State has the capacity
in soil and climate vastly to exceed
any record made by the State in the
production of food. In order to stimu-

The President and the Food Bill.

The President acts with his char
acteristic moral courage in taking
exception to that extraneous sec
ton OF the food bill which provides
for a joint Congressional board for
control of expenditures in connec-
tion with the conduct OF the war.
He is doing a public service by his
act.
There is no reflection on Congress
in the almost universal opinion that
the less it interferes with the con-
duct of the war the better. There
is a prevalent feeling of disgust
about the typical attitude of Con-
gress towards all public questions.
it's dilatory manner of approaching
them regardless of the public emer-
gency; its general stubborn determi-
nation that its Characteristic david
ling legislative traditions must be
preserved even II the heavens fall.
Since April ., when the Presidents
war message was delivered. we have
observed many amazing things of
Congress. The stronger spirits Of
the House and Senate privately de-
plore them. although pleading their
inability to change the existing sys-
tem-a system which allows Jim"
Reed and a few peanut politicians
like him to hold up imperative
legislation at their pleasure; a sys-
tenn which even now makes it pos
sible for pork barrels" to come up
for consideration while the war
revenue bill is sidetracked.
II Congress desires to create a
joint board to act as a balance
wheel to the executive power dur
ing war times. it can do so through
the medium OF an independent
measure. It should be not tackled
on to the food bill. That is a cheap.
insincere, evasive manner of put
ting through" legislation which the
Senate does not care to have de-
bated in the open. 1t was doubt
lGSS plppOStu ds a VI DldNh-
mailing the champions OF the food
measure, as a 'hold-up" proposition.
It should be stricken out in confer
ence, as the President suggests.
1t is not the only feature of the
Senate bill which should go by the
board. The attempt to emasculate
the bill by discarding the food con-
trOller and creating a commission
of three, ought to be thwarted. 1t
undoubtedly will be. The President
has been insisting for three months
that rigid food control is essential
to the successful prosecution of the
war. He has convinced the people
that he is right. They have been
educated by Mr.. Hoover and others
as to the tremendous cost of food
gambling and specializing which
they have paid within the past two
years. They are tired of it. The
powerful influences which resent this
process of public education should
be met squarely now and cast out
of Washington. If they win in the
present fight. they will become more
brazen in the future. and attempt
even greater levies upon the Amer
lean people.
The Washington herald., 1917-07-24

Calling attention to the fact that
the increased salaries that were
granted to government employees at
the last session of Congress are not
permanent is a shortsiehted move
ment of those who have no inter-
est in the welfare Of the govern
ment employees of Washington.
When the increases were grant
ed it was because both the Senate
and the House were convinced
that the servants of our govern
ment were being paid starvation
wages. The Washington Herald
in behalf of the government en-
ployes last fall. instituted a cam
paign for the purpose of showing
Congress the true conditions sur
rounding those who draw salaries
from Uncle Sam. No sooner had
our legislators seen the light
through facts than they granted a
substantial increase to the under
paid employees.
There was no cou5t IN the
minds of the Senators and Rep
resentatives at that time that the
raises would be permanent, de-
spite the fact that they were
granted for one year. The senti-
ment was so completely in favor
of granting the increases that in
stead of their being discontinued
at the end of the year. every prob
ability points to further increase.
The Washington herald., 1917-07-24

the Russian soldier seems to be more
susceptible to the siren lure OF deser.
ton, mutiny, sedition, to all manner
Of allen influences, than he was under
the iron hand of the CARBON. He Is
defying his officers. disregarding all
the CanOns Of military discipline
There is no telling where he will enc.
The Germans are striking at him now,
and the Kaiser is reported on his
way to the Eastern front, possibly
urging his men to the task he assign
ed them two years ago-to put Russia
out of the war. 1t IL clear that
Kerensky has his work cut out for
him.
1t is impossible to think that Russia
is going to cast her glorious new
found freedom into the fire and re-
lapse back to her former state. Her
peasantry, her country folk, are sound
and solid citizens, and they have not
yet found themselves in the govern
ment. The city elements, including
the Socialists of extreme and moder-
ate degree. the radicals of all sorts
who have thriven sub rosa under the
bitter rule of the autocracy and are
now exulting in a rule or ruin"
policy, are influencing the destiny OF
the nation in a way which would not
be pov 5ible II the substantial citizen
ship of the new republic had come
into its own.
1t is possible that In the union of
the Soldiers and Workingmen's Dele
gates and the peasant council re-
ported in dispatches from Petrograd
yesterday. may be found a solution
OF the difficulty. At any rate the in
trepid Kerensky must now make his
definite. final bid for a responsible
government He must stand or fall by
the result.
