Russia is taking an enormous part in

history Russia began the war for

| and America was only observing.
Russia at the beginning bore the
whole brunt of the fighting, thereby
saving Great Britain and France. Peo-
| pie who say she is out of the war
| have short memories. We have
fought since the beginning and they
must now take the heaviest part of
the burden on their shoulders.
! "At present Russian public opinion
is greatly agitated by the question:
| Where is the great British fleet now

Premier Kerensky drew attention
to the fact that Russia has fought her
battles alone.
Russia has fought alone-is fight

England to help her from the start

The permier was asked regarding
the morale of the Russian people and
the Russian army. He answered:
THE masses are worn out econom-
fcally. The disorganized state of life
in general has had psychological eff
feet on the people. They doubt the
possibility of the attainment of their
hopes"
what is the lesson to the democ-
racies of the world of the Russian
revolution?"
This" Premier Kerensky replied,
"is for them to find out. They must
not lose faith in the Russian revolu-
ton, because 1t Is not a political revo-
luton, but an economic one, and a
revolution of facts. The RuSsian
revolution is only seven months old.
No one has the right to feel disillu-
stoned about 1t. 1t will take years to
develop.

as three Russian departments 5fstates)

Asked what he expected from the
constituent assembly. the premier
said:
THE constituent assembly begins
a new chapter in the history of the
revolution. Its voice certainly will be
the most important factor in the flu

Now began the double exposure OF
the southern force to fire in the front
and on the flank, which required a
steady falling back until the entire
army was in movement toward the
newly established positions farther
west. During this prodisious move
ment of the main front and the rear
guard, which can only; be sketched in
the broadest outlines, some sections
sustained shocks OF exceptional in
tensity. The commanding height of
Monte Nero, which the Italians had
occupied after deeds of great valor,
was defended against onslaughts from
three sides which gradually developed
to development.
Added to this was the suddenness Of
the surprise blow from the north,
which developed into a turning fire
before the southern armies and on
their extreme flank, gradually extend

lions 1t was humanity possible that
any army would be tried sore1y, and
it was to extricate the troops from
this situation that the retirement be-

pose of giving time for the with

of preventing military stores from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
The Germans encountered stubborn
resistance on the Bainsizza plateau,
and heats Of enemy dead mark the
lines Of their advance. Around Globe
ridge a Bersaslieri brigade, outnun-

Gorilla across the Isonzo was blown
up by the italians and the enemy
movement thus was further impeded.
| To the west of Gorilla the town of
Commons also was shelled heavily.
The great German guns opened en-

town to pieces.

The safe retirement to the Taglia-

May, will receive especial care this
year. The pastor and congregation
desire to honor every mother in the

1t is very fitting that during this

defense of the country her choicest
sons, that Memorial Day should be so
observed as to give due and appro-
pirate honor to those other sons who
gave themselves so freely to her de-
