NEW RUSSIA DoSENT CARE FOR PORT ON WARM WATER
Continued from page ~

He isn't disturbed by the fact that
Poland is lost to Russia. II the Poles
want to go off and flock by themselves
and will not be happy until they have
q house of their own, let them 60 to
1t. Goodbye, old topsl Here's luck and
q pleasant time for all.
The typical Russian would no more
think of killing some Poles because
some other Poles wanted to be free
than he would think of killing his son
because he didn't like cabbage soup.
And 1t isn't merely passive feeling
with hdn. He thinks 1t Is dead wrong
to be dealing in conquered territories
and slicing up maps and all that sort
of thing, and his mind is firmly decid-
ed that he will not do 1t. Let Turkey
keep Constantinople till the crack of
doom, for oil he cares.
Well, then, what does he care about
What does move him ?
Why, democracy and his dream Of
universal brotherhood and good Will.
He wouldn't fight anybody to gain a
shed any blood for any amount of ter
ritorial expansion or trade.
But he win fight as hard as any
other man in the world and perhaps
a little harder, IL he thinks his democ-
racy Is ian danger, or the revolution,
light of his soul and breath of his life,
may be overthrown.
SO then here is a new force let loose
In this world, and gentlemen that love
wisdom and pursue 1t would do we'll
to consider 1t with the utmost etten-
ton, because believe me, IL 1t isn't
suppressed 1t will tear UP more things
than musty old thrones and put more
relics on the curio shelf than foolish
1Qdderina old kings.
The Ideal that is the Real-that Is
Russia.
1t means business. it is In most ser
ious earnest, 1t will endeavor not mere
ly to live up to its doctrine but to
spread It, and providing Germany
doesn't overrun the Russian defense
before the United States can get into
the fight you are likely 10 see the bulk
of Russia's new social philosophy put
into actual practice in Russia.
I know this Is q startling assertion,
and one not In accordance with the
accepted beliefs in this country. But

failed to find the situation SO encouraging

Early in the war Belgium had In

by New Ruling.

WAsHINGToN. Dec S-Nirtual eXeiup-
ton from the selec,ive draft under cer-
tain prescribed cofditlons was given to-
day to engineering students in schools
recognized hy the War Department, The
action resulted from conference
among Secretary Baker. Provost Mar
sha! General Crowder and officials OF the
engineering societies.
The students are viewed as military
assets OF the future and preferred classi-
fcation is granted 10 them. as well as 10
medical students in certain cases. so that
they may complete their courses They
revert automatically 10 their former
classification OH graduation and may be
called out Immediately as enlisted men
OF the engineer reserve.
The problem OF engineering students =
in the draft was presented by Milo S.
Ketchum OF Boulder, Col, president OF
the Society for the Promotion of Eli
gineering, and g. r. Mann. dean Of Mas
sachusetts Institute OF Technology. They
filed with Mr.. Baker copies of reSolu-
ticns adopted by various engineering So

After the conference Gen. Crowder
issued an amendment TO the selective
draft regulations, giving such students
the same classification as student doc
tors. Where they can present certil-
Gates showing that they are enlisted in
the Engineer Reserve they will be
placed in class five by local boards
These certificates must come from the
presidents Of the institutions they at
tend, stating that they have shown
ability that places them among the high
est third of the graduates Of such
schools during the last ten years.
A resolution adopted by the Society
for the Promotion Of engineering and
approved by the council OF the American
Society OF Engineers was presented at
to-day's conference, 1t is pointed ou,
that a ma jorlty Of the 1900 engineering
students graduated during 1917 are al
ready In the national service and that
onc-third OF the 1915 class has already
enlisted.
THE danger Is not that students in
engineering will refrain from enlisting. II

WAsHINGToN Dec. S--America un-
doubtedly will dictate the policy OF the
interallied board to control sea trans
portaticn which probably will be formed
at the conference OF the Allies in session
In Paris. according to Edward n. Hur-
ley. head Of the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Hurley said -Four points Of
contact must be observed in meeting the
problem OF supplying our troops and get
ting food and American products to the
Allies. These points are: Cncongested
railroad lines to our ports, quick loading
and despatch OF transports. rapid un-
loading in European ports and railroad
facilities. particularly In France. for get
ting the goods distributed.
We must have system all along the
line. Americans who are directing ship
ments must know where and when to
ship goods. All exports cannot so 10
one port, nor can they DC shipped in
such quantities that the docks will be-
come congested.
BY the pooling i.an one man can
direct what shall be shipped on any
allied vessel. This means that as soon
as vessel comes into a harbor an out
going cargo is prepared and she is loaded
within few days after she has dis
charged. The vessels can be kept goins
on schedule which will insure them
better protection by conveys.
Because they will be loaded by direc-
