x 7 ASHINGTON, June 2O.-(Special) wv How German intrigue began

wv How German intrigue began
 and grew in Russia is strikingly set forth in bulletin issued by the Ma communication to the society from Stan ley Washburn, the war correspondent. who is at the present time connected with the American commission to Russia, headed by Elihu Root. The bulletin says:
 able handicaps under which the Rus sans have been laboring, it Is necessary to appreciate the nature and importnce of the German influence in Russia, which for the last few decades has become such vital menace to the independence of the Russian people.
 After the Franco-Prussian war, when the new economic and industrial era began to develop in the Teuton empire, it was but natural that the Germans should look to Russia for their most im- portant market. At first this outlet for their trade was luxury to their eco- homie developemnt, but. as to a greater and greater extent their trade became committed to this vast territory 1t be- came more and more of an economic necessity that they retain and increase their grip on Russia.
 The northern or Baltic provinces of Russia are very largely populated by persons of German blood who have for many generations been Russian subjects. It is natural that these people, in a measure, should feel and understand Ger man inspirations and aid and bet in their plans where possible.
 By this I do not mean to assert that all Baltic Russians are pro-German. for some of the ablest and most loyal men and devoted troops have come from this part of Russia; but 1t is true that many

AMERICA BOUND TO WIN

New York Correspondent in Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 If you've ever heard the opinion of some foreigners of what they think of Americans. it is generally that they are bunch of mollycoddles. They, for some reason do not believe there is scrap in any native of this country, but as chasers for the elusive iron boy. they acknowl- edge that Americans are a good first. Three swarthy skinned foreigners beard- ed and well dressed, were hanging to . strap in an "L" train yesterday. Nearby stood well dressed young man and typically American. The foreigners talked necessarily, and it was apparent to ob- servers that they were discussing the young American. Presently the foreigner nearest the young man opened news paper in such way that corner of it touched the young mans face. The for- eigner apologized and the young man. with smile dismissed the matter Again the corner of the paper grazed the young mans face. The foreigner folded it quick ly and looked pained. The young men looked steadily at him for a moment and then with a curt nod forgave him. A mo- ment later, the paper. again held wide, touched the hat of the young man. He squared around suddenly, seized the for eigner by the shoulders and with drawn face asked him what was the matter. "See!'' said the foreigner excitedly to his companion, who had been observing mat ters. Then he bounded his hand enthusi- astically on the young mans shoulders, exclaiming, Bravo! Bravo!' The young man looked suitably amazed. "I tai my frands," explained the man who held the newspaper, that America sne now win theese war. They tai me she never fight hard because Americanos can no get mad enough. tai him dose Americanos dey stan just so much, then fight like soma wildcats. tai them show them one Ge mad. Now you see, you seer" Fine BlA If the same thing happened on a Pitts burg car the foreigner wouldn't even haes had an opportunity to offer his cxplana-

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN RUSSIA

of the worst influences have also been of Baltic province extraction. For 10 years before the war we can trace the German influence through every spe- cious channel of intrigue and malevolent activity to gain ascendency in the inter- nal policies of the Russian government.
 There is little reason to douht that the German influence has aimed in every way to check the growth of liberalism in Russia. There are many who believe that but for the German influence there five years before the war The elimina- tion of this curse would have meant ed- ucation, and with education inevitably must have come the demand for more liberal government and ministry re- spohsible to the Duma.
 "Alone the Germans could not have hoped to exert this influence; but we find In Russia another group, commonly known as bureaucracy who had a com munity of interests with the Teutons. The bureaucracy represents the office holders and officials appointed by the throne. who have for generations, and one might almost say for centuries, preyed upon the resources of the Rus sian empire.
 There has been during and before the war a cooperation between these two parties, the enduring prestige of which depended on German victory and Russian defeat It is clear that if Germany had been overwhelmingly defeated, both the pro-German and the bureaucrats would have lost the hold they had on the Rus sian empire.
 Tt is probably true that none of these dark forces had any great apprehen- sion at the beginning of the war that Germany could lose, for being well aware of Russia's unpreparedness. it seemed incredible that she could triumph over her enemy-efficient and ready for the war

PASS THE WHALE

From the Chicago News.
 According to that forward looking chronicler of human activities, Frederic J. Haskin, the whalers of Washington and popularze whale meat as article of human diet The fact is cited that in Japan the whale is highly esteemed as food and the testimony of many experts Is adduced to show that 1t is both 'palat- able and nourishing.
 Need more be said? Let the whale pack CTS bring on their whale. The American people will try anything once. And if we like whale meat we shall go on eating it, provided the whale trust does not boost the price too high, thing it is likely to do, as Americans are invariably fined for indulgence in anything they like.
 Let us have a go at specimen whale. The American housewife will devise some attractive way of cooking and serving it. even if the oven has to be enlarged and one of the children sent downstairs to borrow Mrs. Jones' big baking pan. We understand that normal whale on the hoof weighs several tons. But doubtless it will be supplied in portions to suit If the whale proves good to eat it may become the marine counterpart of the COW, useful in life and death and in all it's parts The whale is a mammal. and one sees no reason why herd of whales would not relieve the dairy situation once we learned how to milk whales. The rosy checked milkmaid would not be attracted by the job. of course, but except in rural dramas, the rosy checked milkmaid in her print gown no longer exists. She has long since been supplanted by male per
 son in. blue overalls, so that all we need
 do is to teach this male person to dive and of course, teach the whale to ''git over" at the word.
 The skin of the whale should make ex-
 cellent leather, and it's bones-the ones not
 used for stays--would work up into attrac- tive furniture or at least make accept
 able bonemeal In sum. this whale pro
 posal looks promising in every particular

Interest i'm French and spanish

A great deal of interest is being taken in the language classes that are being conducted in the committee room of the Chamber of Commerce. said Blanks Everett, general manager of the chamber
 Both French and Spanish are being offered this year and quite number of people are taking one or both courses A lot of the people are expecting to be in France themselves soon, either as sol diers or as nurses. The classes are be- ing conducted under the auspices of the chamber and the board of education, and meet three times a week. The students seem to be making good progress, and will be able to get along without an in- terpreter when they get to France"

A JUNE NIGHT

By Clinton Scollard.
 hear the lilt of singing airs Along nights starry thoroughfares. I see the firefly's fleeting spark Go darting up and down the dark catch from many garden close The orient altar of the rose. My shadow quickened sense perceives The laughing gossip of the leaves. Somewhere brook goes murmuring on In low nocturnal antiphon.
 Somewhere bell, with mellow chime,g Marks the untiring feet of time. Dreams gather. and drift and drift On swooning tides that sway and shift, Till, at length weakening. I am drawn Into the heaven of the dawn.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Two Kinds of Patriotism

Two very different kinds of patriotism are shown at the local theatres" said Dr. c. c. Wiley, medical examining of ficer of the engineers regiment.
 When pictures of the flag and Pres ident Wilson are flashed on the screen, everybody goes wild with enthusiasm. The boys all clap and cheer and show signs of answering and deathless. loy- alty to their country. When the poster of the army recruiting station is shown. with the picture of uncle Sam pointing and saying, want you, all this loy- alty evaporates. Those who had been so patriotic minute ago sink down in their seats and keep quiet. Their patriotism is the kind that shows itself in lot of noise, but when anything serious comes up. they do nothing. The kind of patriot ism that really counts is the kind that shows itself in enlisting and doing some thing besides clapping hands and making 8 big noise every time the flag is shown ''

EIeartenimg Effects
 of MiliGary Parade

y
 1HHE New York World has been J suggesting to the war depart ment that it order parades of Onlteo States troops destined for France just before they sail. The suggestion was a good one, but Secretary Baker did not soe.egard it, and emphatlcally refused to consider it.
 The coming and going of high gov ernnent officials crossing the ocean has been kept secret for obvious req sons. The various war commissions have reached their destination before the public knew they had started. But as the World points out, 1t IS lm- nossible to move any large body ot soldiers secretly. Even when Major General Pershing left for Europe ac- companied by staff of officers and forty or fifty enlisted men little mys- terv was observed. The general him. self might have slipped away quietly and reached the other side of the At lantic before the unofficial public was aware that he had departed. But with a half hundred men along secrecy was impossible and as matter Of fact the baggage of the party, plainly marked. was hauled through the streets of New York without any at tempt at concealment.
 A parade of the first regiment or the first brigade of regulars headed for the trenches would undoubtedly have had a splendid effect on the neople of America. Patriotism al ready runs high, but the sight of the men who are to do the fighting march ing in solid phalanx, amid the plaudits of the populace, would nave created a furor of Americanism such as would have impressed itself deeply, far and wide.
 But it Is too late now for the wal department to change its attitude II this matter, even if it were disposed to do so, for the expeditionary army for at least the first unit of 1t IS al ready on it's way.
 The next best thing to seeing oul soldiers parade in New York IS tt read about them passing through thu streets of Paris. There will be mighty thrill in that.
