SITUATION
IN RUSSIA

According to press dispatches
the situation in Russia is alarming
INSTRUMENTATION is rife in the army
and as a result the progress OF the
Germans is practically unchecked.
Premier Kerensky is a strong man
and to his genius is accredited the
amazing victories over the German
troops during the earlier part of July.
He is now at the front, and it is to
be hoped that he may be able to re
establish discipline among his troops
If Russia can expel the Germans
the war should end with the present
year. for the enemy is practically
ey hausted, and surely, under present
conditions, will be unable to cope
successfully with the fresh troops
and equipment that will be sent &c
the front from this country. But with
the vast resources of Russia at her
command. Germany would probably
be enabled to continue the war in
definitely.

Nevertheless, he viii say what shall
be exported, when it shall be export
ed, how it shall be exported. and
where. Mr.. McCormick's designation
for this highly important duty was
not blazoned to the public with any
of those gems of biographical appre-
citation which often accompany the
appointment Of men to Office under
this administration. Consequently, we
feel sure, there will be no attempt to
show that he has received preferment
on any other ground than that he Is

maiD.-Tho crew of an American war
ship patrolling the steamer lanes of

n French family. consisting Of moth

adopted family was driven from It's

Tho father was killed In one OF tho
early battles OF tho war. Several

city. where the mother obtained en-
ployment which just enabled her to
provide herself and the children with
the bare necessities OF life.
Soon after the arrival of tho Ameri-

raised and presented the mother with
a large purse. The children were taken

And. therefore over the world
Libertys battle-cry rings,
And Freedoms flag Is unfurled;
Ills ours to do what God has bid.
The world must Of it's Kings be rid.
God said. II am tired OF Kings"
And He said 1t long ago.
Fills voice down the ages rings,
Though the sentence followed slow:
But when the world for judgment
prays.
He doeth quickly what he says!
At last. through the age-long gloom,
His glory broke on the world,
And His thunderbolts of doom
On despots and thrones are hurled,
From every roaring guns mouth rings
Gods mandate: "I am tired OF Kings"

Twixt the New age and the OLD,

The Nations OF the world all free.

Transportation and War

CECRETARY OF WAR BAKER has paid
~ highly deserved tribute to the efficiency
OF the American railroads in the present
emergency. He has shown that they have
hauled more than 500,OOO soldiers for vary
ing distances without serious complaint from
any source and without protracted Interrupt
ton OF any of the ordinary freight or pas
senger schedules.
The secretary might have added that the
railroads also have delivered millions of
tons OF materials for the construction of
army environments, giving the cars bearing
1t right OF way without seriously incommod-
ing any other shipper. - In all, more than
$4,000 cars were used In this movement, and
the end Is not yet American railroads have
given an effective demonstration Of wartime
efficiency They have performed their part
of the troop and material movement so far
with dispatch and with measure of safety
not paralleled by any other experience in
this country And they give promise of
equal efficiency in the future They have
heavy burden to carry, but they will give
the country and the government the best
service of which they are capable The rail-
roads, be 1t remembered, wero perhaps the
first private enterprises to realize the big
less OF their job in this war. They we're
given taste Of the pressure which would
be upon them when they moved $4,000
national guardsmen to the Mexican border
a little more than year ago. They learned
much from this experience, and when war
with Germany declared we found
group Of leading railway presidents in Wash
ington, overnight, engaged in organizing the
whole of the American transportation facl-
tiles into one great continental system.
This committee, supported by the govern
ment and by series Of legislative enact
ments, was empowered to exercise almost
absolute control over every individual rail-
way line in the country. Car movements
were supervised. The purchase Of materials
and rolling stock was supervised. The dis
tribution of tonnage supervised, and, in
effect, the whole railway mileage was merged
into system, with its operations directed
the railroads have been heavy during the
past six months, they will be heavier during
the next six. The war machine has just
begun to move. The men now in camp must
be hauled longer distances to the seaboard.
Whole divisions must be moved almost as
unit. Vast equipment must travel with the
troops More than that, the great munition
plants must be supplied with materials, and
their output must be delivered with prompt
ness to the steamship lines. All this must
be carried along with the normal domestic
traffic.
The railroads will play an all-important
they meet the needs of the country and the
government, under private ownership, will
have a direct bearing upon the agitation
for public ownership of our transportation
system.
