THE WELSHMAN
tBy Berton Braley.)

The muddlers and dawdlers abhor him
Aristocrats sheer at his ways,
But commonplace mortals are for him
In these highly perilous days;
He doesn't dodge issues unpleasant,
His brain is alert and athrob,
And England is lucky at present .
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the. job!
The Asquiths LAY loudly attack him
For speaking plain language. for
7" sooth,
But wise folk will valiantly back him
For facing-and telling the truth;
He hasn't much time for illusion
He knows how dis-union plays hob,
And order will come from. confusion
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the job!
on thousands Of soldiers lie huddled
On many a battlefield, dead,
Because SNUG AFistocrats muddled
And oommonseise counsels had ned;
That must not again be the story
So. down with the dolt and the snob
Let England achieve her full glory
With Mr.. Lloyd George on the job!

RUSSIAN bis MEMBERMEM

There is something interesting in the suggestion that
one. Of the results Of the revolution in Russia may be the
~dtsmemberment Of that great empire and the creation
from 1t Of a number of independent states. Territorially
and in the matter of population, with the exception OF
the British empire Russia Is the greatest governmental
entity embracing contiguous territory whd affairs are
administered from a single center.
It contains people of many races, speaking many Ian.
ilization to utter barbarism. These groups, many Of then
numbering millions, have been held together under q
government of which the car was the head. The cal
is gone, and with him his government. Democracy Is
the order OF the day. But will peoples so widely separ
ated in language, religion and thought, as we'll as in most
fsthe other essentials-o civlzation, be able to find in
the idea OF democracy a bond Of union which will hold
them together as a unit? There is reason to doubt 1t.
There are two possibilities for Russia after she has
passed through the period Of fire and blood for which
she appears to be destined. One is dsmemberment, and
the creation Of new Independent nations according tc
ethnic. industrial and other local pecularities. The
other is the creation Of such states for purposes Of Local
salf-government, and the federation of them all under
some such form as that of our federal government, with
perhaps. the holding Of some Of the more backward
federal government
Already there are evidences Of the tendency toward
At least > preliminary acknowledgement The Cossacks are
inclined to operate Independently. One group in the eau.
casus has undertaken an independent administrator. Fin.
land demands autonomy. VIII this tendency toward sep
arate action result in complete political separation, or will
it result in the creation Of the greatest federation tina
the world has ever seen? l6

washington, Nov. s0.-The civil
populations Of Great Britain and
France probably will be placed under
2 direct ratipning schedule by Jan. 1.
This action will not mean, that
their food situation is worse. or
threatens to be worse. than for the
past year. It is simply a precaution
to see that foodstuffsf are best used,
staat better distribution is maintained,
and that every person, rich or poor,
hassthe same opportunity to get his
fair share Of the nations food supply.
The rationing of England and
France promises to be one of the first
results OF an sinter-allied food survey
and discussion, under way for several
months. 4
