THE ADDED RESPONSIBILITY ON
THE UNITED STATES.

The chief effect of the new Russian
revolution on the United States is the
realization, to greater extent, of the
part which the United States and her
people must play in this war. The over
turn of the Kerensky regime in Russia
and the setting up of a government
which promises to be far more unstable
than the one it unseated means, prob
ably, that Russia is really out of the war
for a long time, if not for the remainder
of the war. So kerensky's words are
likely to be more prophetic than it was
thought when they first fell upon the
ears of the world. To replace Russia in
contributing that support which it was
originally planned TO offer, is. therefore,
the solemn obligation which devoIves
upon us through the detection of Russia
Vast numbers of German and Austrian
troops, to say nothing of Turkish, are
sure to be released from service on the
Russian front and to be diverted to the
fronts in western Europe; but even
though the new Russian government
should make peace with Germany and
her allies it is not probable that the cen
trail powers will gain anything in an eco
pomic way because Russia will still con

Soldiers returning from German prison
camps testify to the fact that their food
and clothing conditions were intolerable
until such time as the boxes from home
began to arrive; then their lot was far
more pleasant, or rather far less dis
agreeable. There is naturally some sur
prise that the German captors permitted
the boxes of food and clothing to reach
the prisoners, but if the same policy is
TO be followed out the Americans who
may be taken prisoners during the re-
mainder of the war may be expected to
receive all that they can need in the line
of food and clothing That the German
government should permit these boxes of
food and clothing to get through to the
prisoners is one of the few bright spots
in this decidedly drab warfare which the
kaiser is wagmg.

1t doesn't seem likely that the collapse
of a storage building in Brooklyn will
be charged up to the Germans, unless it
can be proven that the Germans stored
overweight of machinery on the third
floor of the building. There is comfort
in the thought that we Americans are
not so near perfect that we are not re.
sponsible ourselves for some of the evils
which are constantly springing up in our
midst Now and then we must put our
own house in order, so to speak, and not
spend all our time upbraiding the Ger
mans or German sympathizers in the
United States.

room of the city hall Friday evening

the organization. Mrs. Baker has been
quite prominent in the work of the or

that makes her pleasant speaker. She
has campaigned in nine states, spoken
to miners $500 feet under the ground
and to cowboys on the plains. She has
picketed when it was below zero and
100 in the shade She was sentenced to
go days in Jail as an alternate to a fine,
remaining il days when her husband
took the matter in his own hands and
paid the fine so that the authorities had
to release her against her wishes. She
has two sons in the war, one in the army
and the other in the navy. She said
her party is fighting no one unless deci-
sions, in which the woman has a right
to be considered and will be affected, are
made by those in power without the con
sideration and advice of the women. The
band playing on the floor above did not
seem to interfere with Mrs. Bakers re-
marks.

Mrs. Belmont Tiffany has written for
August Hcrper's Bazaar an interesting
article on "A Message from the American
Red Cross to the Women OF America.
She especially mentions the part that
women Of society are taking in this great
work, and also tells OF the organizations
rapid growth since the war began in 1914.
Mrs. Tiffany explains very clearly the
different functions OF the Red Cross.
Here are some facts from Farm and
Fireside which show just how important
a part farmers will play in this war. The
writer Of the article from which these fig-
ures are taken says: AL the rate of four
pounds OF foodstuffs a day for the sol
der, which is the ration for camp or gar
rison, a,o00. 900 pounds W i'll have daily to be
provided for the troops. This is something
OF task. OF fresh beef alone there will
be call for go 900 pounds. The army will
drink thirty. five tons Of coffee daily. Two
huge traiploads of foodsiuffs will be re-
quired each day to carry the provisions
for the force in question. Think of fur
nishing the meals for great moving ci J
of a million people, or OF provisioning Z
thousand or more great circuses, and yor
will have better idea of what feeding
the new army means"
