him and has returned in tri- umph to the place of power from which he fled for his life a short week ago. He probably has korniloff to thank for this unexpected demonstration of power-the man who himself revolted against the premier a few weeks ago. How Kornil- off managed to escape from confinement and how these two came to effect an under standing is a subpject for spec ulation alone. So long as they keep faith with each other they may make progress, but what is there to justify this hope? Kerensky is resource ful; Korniloff is ambitious. The one is too forgiving; the other never forgets. They are ill-mated and there is room for grave doubts that their appar- ent agreement will not long en- dure. One or the other will fall in time. Perhaps this will al- ready happen before these lines come from the press. Then all will be confusion again. It is true: "Chaos is Czar,", Poor Russia.-Ex.

to the success of those who have gone abroad, hence re- peated calls are made upon all of us to contribute to the com fort and success of those who are enduring tbe hardships of trench life on the battlefield. Among those in France now, some actually engaged in fac ing the enemy, many others being drilled for service, are hundreds and thousands of young men who have never be- fore been. far from the places of their birth, and in order to make life a little more cheer ful for all these our substi- tutes, we are contributing to the Red Cross, and in addition to hospital supplies are also asked to furnish money to make up one hundred pack ages composed of useful ar ticles for the soldiers at the front. In doing this we are not only adding to their com fort and efficiency, but we are also making for the continued safety of our homes.
 Prompt action on our part is as important to the success of the soldiers at the front as is their quick and unerring move ments in an attack upon the enemy. What we do for our substitutes leaves no odium upon the reputation of those giving the aid, but on the oth- CT hand contributes immeasur- ably to the success of what we believe is essential in making the world a safe place in which to live.
 Let us do our part as. com pletely and promptly as our circumstances will permit Ex.

OUR SUBSTITUTES.

It was formerly the privilege
 i'll time of war, for those who
 were drafted for service to em- ploy a substitute to go to the front in their place. It is very probable that the substitute in many instances did better ser vice at the front than the man
 who seen him would have done, yet there was some odium clinging about the reputation of a man who hired a substi- ute to do his actual fighting. Conditions have now changed. No substitutes are hired by those called to the colors, but by another spring the Ameri- can people who remain al home by force of necessity will have possibly a million substi- tutes in France offering theil lives in the defense of those who are for various reasons compelled to remain at home
 The aid of those who remain at home is absolutely essential

POOR RUSSIA

"Chaos in Czar of Russia" " says an able contemporary in commenting upon the situation that confronts the new repub- lie. What else can be said The swept of events in that unhappy land beggars descrip- tion. Affairs of state are shift ing too rapidly for the mind to follow. The swift success sion of revolts challenges the imagination. One cannot dis cuss the situation with any de- cree of certainty. To venture a prediction of the outcome simply resolves itself into idle speculation. It Is indeed a rev 0lution-a revolution such as the world has never seen, be- fore. Reason has fled and. the red furies are in the saddle. To consistently comment upon the unprecedented condition is to say a word of pity for the poor, distracted peasants-and perhaps a prayer.
 What indescribable turmoil and trouble they have unwit- tingly heaped upon their heads as they grope through the darkness of their own ig- nOrance and suspicious! What a long, weary and perhaps bloody march they have be- fore them before they find their cherished place in the sun! The peasants want peace but they don't know how tc get 1t. They are lost in the maze of their new-found liberties and easily fall a prey to the designs of malicious men whose glittering promises light up the darkness for an instant So it is that they have lost al faith in their fellow men; the faith that alone can form the foundation of a real democ- racy, Their only salvation is to find a leader who can com, mand their confidence.
 Is Kerensky the man? We thought so for a while; ther we began to lose faith in him His fall from power was no1 surprising. Now comes the flash that he has succeeded il smashing the revolt agains

DELAWARE'S WHIPPING POST.
TO tle EDITOR OF THE EVENING


To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Slr.-We are glad that. at last, Del
oWare is awakening TO the fact, that
she whipping post must be abolished.
How Mortified we are at the atroc-
tiles committed in Belgium, yet right
az our door is committed one Of the
blacklist deeds on record. viz: the
whipping Of criminals at the post
Mothers, imagine your boy, whom
you've surrounded with good environ
ments, sometime getting under the
influence of bad boys. or men, and be-
Ing led to commit theft. Can you ina
CINE anything more horrible. than his
being punished for the same, by the
courts order for ten, fifteen or twen-
" lashes on the bare back?"
Are the men of Delaware more
cruel and harder hearted than those
of other States? If not. why have they
not abolished the outrage long ago?
Women's hands are tied We cannot
yet vote for the removal of the post,
but must quietly suffer.
We have churches and are supposed
to understand Christianity, yet how
can we when we do not practice hui
manity?
VIII not you men who have power
to make and also to repeal laws, show
that you have a spark of humanity in
you by substituting some other form
of punishment for theft than that Of
whipping?
II is said Delaware is. in the mat
ter of education, far behind the other
States. / wonder if that's one of the
reasons we stick to the old barbarous
method of punishment? Whipping
has never lessened crime. Each year
the same. or sometimes a greater
number. of criminals are flogged.
II our boys and girls are to be
taught to respect Delaware, let the
post be abolished, otherwise, they can
not do so. G..

Sleep On, My Girl
Written for The Evening Journa
BY JAMES T. CROZIER.

How very hard to realize,
The truth when trials come;
When one IS taken who for years,
Was with us in our home.
God is disposer OF events,
And we should not complain;
ForS OH how precious are the
thoughts,
Some day well meet again.
Where sickness, sorrow. pain OF
death,
Shall never more be known;
And through eternity will be
With Jesus near the throne
How precious is that thought to me,
While she Is under ground;
In all this world no sweeter thought,
Can anywhere be found
How sweet that memory can recall,
The loving words and acts;
or one who is no longer here,
Well known to us as facts.
l know / never shall forget,
I cannot even try;
When that left hand was reached TO
me,
She said, Goodbye, goodbye"
But / will try my best to say,
1t was my Fathers will;
To take her from our home TO Him,
Where she will rest until
The Resurrection Day has come,
When we shall all arise;
And all the faithful taken TO
That Home beyond the skies.

MOIktlhs
CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.--In the recent
mOmentOus note from the German
Government submitted to the United
States this significant clause ap-
peared;
1T affords the Imperial Government
greater satisfaction to state that the
general lines of this remarkable mani
festation in the wider sense agreed
with the principles and wishes Of Ger
many and her allies"
Meaning thereby, that Germany
fully approves of President Wilson's
declaration OF principles as TO the
rightful claim of small nations to
economic, social and political freedom.
and that their destiny should be in
their own care. Referring to these ma
lions, the German Governments note
goes on to say:
ITO these belong in the first place.
the right of self-government and equal
rights of all nations. Recognizing this
principle, Germany would sincerely
welcome il if nations like ireland and
India, who do not enjoy the blessings
Of Independence, now would obtain
liberty"
Analysing this statement from the
note, what does il convey?
Nothing further, in my opinion, than
an expression of sympathy with the
claims Of Ireland and India, or at the
furtherest a counterpoise in case OF
negotiations against the allied pow
ers' demand for the withdrawal Of the
Central Powers from Belgium. the
resurrection of Serbia, and Monte
negro. and an answer to the granting
of independence TO Bohemia. and tho
return OF Herzegovina To. Serbia.
The small nations Of Europe are to
be made the counters for these Im-
perial gamblers, England and Ger
many, to play with.
Ireland has no apology TO make TO
any conference for recognition, and
the language Of diplomacy is not clear
enough to express an honest convic-
ton or principle.
Let the German Government come
out in plain and emphatic language
and state her positioni
Let her put her cards on the table +:
without evasion or equivocation, tell
the world that she will withdraw
from Belgium. recognize the claim Of
Serbia and Montenegro. demand from
} her ally Austria that Bohemia get full
autonomy within the Austria empire
/ that in addition to Austrian Poland
| being set free, Germany, herself, VIII
give back the stolen provinces OF Po-
land within the kingdom OF Prussia
that Russia will be compelled to give
up Russian Poland. autonomy to the
Lithuanians. freedom to Finland; that
the people of Alsace and Lorraine
shall be allowed to take a referendum
as to which country they shall link
themselves with, Germany or France
that India shall get the same rights
as Australia, Egypt to be a free and
Independent country; and last but not
least. that the best friend Germany
has had in this war, ireland. shall
have her full and complete rights as
a nation recognized.
