A Revelation from Trotzky.

We are indebted to Monsieur Trotzly Russian for
eign minister ad interim and most loquacous prop of
the Bolshevh, for piece of news. He informs US
that the American government refused to join in rep
reservations made by Great Britain France and Italy
to Russia, demanding stronger military policy.
There is no reason to doubt that Monsieur TrotzIsy
as he paws over the papers and documents of the late
lamented Monsieur Ksrensky, is speaking the truth
President Wilson dealt with Kerensky in a much
more liberal spirit than did the allied governments of
Europe. He was not short-sighted as they
They sought to get rid of Kerensy because they want
ed a stronger government They have gotten rid of
Kereny but they have not gotten their stronger gov
ernment. Instead, they have an unspeakable regime
which is trying to plunge Russia into the depths.
Perhaps if Kerensly had been properly supported
by his European allies he would have failed But
his Socialists received scant courtesy in London Paris
and Rome. When Kornilof started his counter revou
ton the British press openly hailed him Russia's
SAVIOR and did veil their desire see him over
throw Kerensk.- Great Britain is reaping the harvest
of its policy. 1t has the Bolshevi, not Kornof
Kaledines The British foreign office could not have
played more completely into the hands of German in
trigue at Petrograd if it had tried to do so.
How the allies to combat German influence in
Russia1 Are they ready to adopt American ideas1
We do not necessarily recital of war aims;
that phase of the Russian matter has already been dealt
ing bulletins to the effect that American capitalists
forced President Wilson into the conflict that we
in the simply for what get out of it, that
the is simply struggle for the economic posses
sion of the world. This exactly the line argu-
advanced by proGerman Socialists in the United
States until discretion taught them to curb their
tongues 1t will have its effect the Russian popu-
lace unless measures taken to combat it. 1t will
even be used by the party in Germany to silence
people.
The allies must not abandon Russia as a total loss
without insurance. Past mistakes and can be re-
paired. 1t is Americas duty do of the repair
ing. We have work cut out for u.s. and its first
stage is to beraze the attitude of Great Britain and
France towards their great Slavic neighbor and ally
Perhaps the first step to be taken is to proclaim
agreement among the entente nations as to the inter-
naturalization of Constantinople 1t would be fatal
to allow the impression to go forth in Russia that
Britain is determined to claim it for her own after
the war;

The Pave Line Holds.

The Italians are redeeming themselves What SEEM
I'd at first to be rrerevable disaster has been stayed
and the enemy has fallen short of his objective That
Is the real meaning of the bitter fighting along the
upper Piave in which the Italians up to the present
hour, have maintained unwavering defense. 1t is
too early to say that Italy is safe 1t is not too early
to say that the whole Teutonc plan of strategy has
been disarranged and thrown out of kilter
To what do the Italians owe their salvation: to
their ndomtable national spirit in the face of danger
to the genius Of Foch to the magnificent British
drive at Cambrai? The way in which they have rallied
is in line with the proudest tradition of Italian arms
Venice has not fallen and Lombardy is safe The
enemy must throw or more of new divisions
into the fray if he is to make further progress 1t is
doubtful if he can spare them. Certainly he knows
now that the Western front is undermanned the eye
of Hindenburg for the future at least will be on
Cambria, rather than Asiago and the Trentino
The fruits of the Italian drive apparently, have
been snatched from the enemy just as he was about
to shut his teeth them. Mackensen won an impor-
tant victory on the Isonzo but has paid Prussia few
dividends. Its moral and psychological effect on which
her peace manipulators counted so heavily has been
utterly neurazed by the sensational British success
IN the west and in Palestine 1t throws an enormous
new burden the German transport system The
command of the Adriatic has not been gained The
forces confronting Mackensen are steadily being
strengthened in and metal Allied coordination
has beer brought about to extent which three weeks
ago seemed improbable. The Italian, man to man. has
been pted against the Austrian and the German in the
Trentino' and shown his possession of equal if not
superior stamina drive at the Sarrail leves at Sa-
lonh has been made abortive through the failure to
achieve the objective in Italy
An inspired statement came from Berlin recently
saying that the real aim of the Italian offensive was to
force the allies to draw upon their 1913 reserves This
il has failed to do. If this was its main purpose il
must be put to the debit side of German strategy

Now Riseth the Sun Of KaIedines.

1t seems apropos to bet few golden simoleons on
Gen. Kaedines. Cen Kaledines has not thus far got
the prominence that results from udcious advertising
but the cabegrams that he is Cossack has
got hold of the Russian bread and coal supplies and
proposes to starve and freeze the Bolshevk out OF
business.
Two things you see, without personal intro
ducton to Gen. Kaledines First when Cossack gets
hold of thing, it's his Secondly, any man holding
the bread and coal supply finally put the Bolshe
wiki out of business, in Petrograd, Ohio, or any
other territory.
We cling to our previously expressed opinion that,
finally, the form, shape, and complexion of Russian
government will largely depend upon the condition of
Russian stomachs. ...

not be surprising il early IN the COM

invitation which was pigeon-holed

This committee, unlike the group
of members which made the trip dur
ing the recess, would have the formal
sanction of the lawmaking body and
an endeavor would be made, of
course. to do things up in a very
thorough fashion.
The President interposed objections
to the acceptance of the invitation
when the matter recently came be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. On that account it was
shelved. but with the understanding
that 1t might be revived at any time
the members felt inclined to again
consider 1t.

Mammoth Task Ahead.

Gen. Crowder and his staff and the
exemption boards of the country and
all others connected with the ad-
ministration Of the draft law will
have their hands full when the ques-

themselves as more than satisfied at
the thoroughness with which the gen.
eral is going into the matter.
The hope is, as a result of this,
that the man power of America will

task where he will contribute either
directly or indirectly to the winning
