Root for Russia.

There is no question that President
Wilson ought to send Elihu Root to
Russia if he can get him to 60.
Mr.. Root represents the best tradi-
tons of American craftsmanship, is
perhaps our greatest living diplomat.
To send him as the head of an Amer
lean mission to Petrograd would be
to honor the new Russian govern
ment as Great Britain has honored
US in sending Mr.. Balfour to Wash
ington. 1t would be compliment to
the aspiring new administration that
would be deeply appreciated.
There is no doubt that Russia needs
our help, which we intend to give her
in generous measure. 1t is not mere
ly a matter of financial and material
help; we must impart to her some of
the strength of republican institu-
tions, some flame of our own ideal.
No man in this country is better
fitted to represent America on a mis-
sion of this kind than Mr.. Root.
There is still the menace of pro-
German intrigue in Russia. 1t must
be seotched and killed. The constant
German agitation for a separate peace
will crop out in score of different
directions, and until the new gov
ernment is firmly on its feet, il
will have some chance of scucess.
The allies cannot afford any disaster
of this kind; and the United States
can exercise powerful influence on
Russia. if it will, in strengthening the
hand Of the new Cove ssmR

German Strikes.

1t seems a rather incongruous
statement to say that strikes are en-
eouraging, but the statement is true
when applied to the present condi-
tions in Germany. The numerous
and serious strikes there, while to the
Prussian autocracy are very damag-
ing. to the people of the empire they
stand for assertion of rights and an
evidence that they have found them
selves.
Military caste which has refused
every offer of mediation and arbitra-
ton, has forced the war on the people
Of Germany and Austria Hungary,
the same force which has prevented
the actual happenings of the war
from becoming known to the people.
The war which was made by Ger
many has been waged so fercely only
because the German people have be-
lieved until now that they were de-
Tending their country. Fortunately,
however, the light is beginning to
dawn upon the people and they are
wriggling from beneath the heel
which has been grinding them into
the eSrth.
That Germany could defeat the
world has always been preposter-
Gus idea nourished only in the brains
of the autocratic dominants of the
nation, and if there has ever been a
doubt in other minds, it was removed
when the United States entered the
war
And if the German people are re-
ceiving one iota of the truth, as the
numerous strikes are leading us to
believe, they will know that they are
regarded as enemies to all mankind.
When this thought seeps through
their heads which heretofore have
been filled with thoughts of militar-
ism and conquest, strikes will in
crease and with every strike the
power of their present wicked gov
ernment will decrease. Peace and
safety will necessarily follow when
that government is overthrown.

The Road Ahead Of Us.

II would be- futile to add even a
word to the glorious welcome which
Joffre received from Washington yes
terday. 1t was glorious in itself,
glorious for what it symbolized. 1t
was the event of generation in this
Capital.
But this welcome, great in itself,
Is but the portent of greater things.
Joffre is here not as a matter Of senti-
ment, but as a matter of business. He
Is here TO tell us, II we will have him
tell US. how this war may be won in
reasonably quick time. He wants to
make America effective without de-
lay.
So far we have not faltered, al
though the fate of the draft bill in
the House Is still a matter of doubt;
but that il will pass ultimately, as a
result of the reasoned verdict of the
American people, there can be no
doubt. But time is one of the most
precious things in this war. The
United States ought not to signalize
her entry into the greatest conflict
ever waged on this earth" by vast
ing Il.
1t is significant that Mr.. Balfour,
in his statement to the press yester-
day. spoke of the confidence he held
that we would "throw not only our
unequaled resources" into the war,
but "our man power also" The
truth is that a mighty struggle is yet
ahead of us for the salvation of the
world; that American soldiers will
yet be the decisive factor in the war.
There is a fair prospect that the
German autocracy will collapse un-
der the present tremendous strain
exerted upon it; but the United States
will make grave error, in the opin-
ion of nearly every competent OBJ
server, If it does not make its preps-
rations on the basis that the war will
continue for year, and possibly two
years more.
For this reason the call of the day
is for business. We welcome Joffre
because he more than any other man
is the true hero of this war. Again
quoting Mr.. Balfour, he won the bat
tie which was the most decisive oi
all battles, turning point in the his
tory of mankind"

It was near Neuf Becquin that we met

1t has been estimated that there are
close to 100000 men under arms in this
war.
Five million of these are engaged in
the terrific struggle on the western front.
The figures are enormous, and must
press home the fact that recruiting to
maintain these fighting forces at strength
must be q colossal job.
How have these forces been enlisted
They have been enlisted under COM

ing measures.
How incongruous seems the volunteer
system. and how out of harmony with
modern conditions here exemplifed Is
that idea still so fondly held by some
Americans.
'In time of national danger, we could
quickly raise a million men equal to
any need"-we often hear.
Yes, We could. There is little doubt
but that we could raise them over
night" We are patriotic enough and
have courage enough-that we do not
doubt.
But can anyone consider the appalling
waste OF manhood II there should be

called upon, and obliged to face, such
seasoned troops as those in Europe,
without seeing the wlckedness and fal-

Pooling the Allies Resources,
(Christian sesnoe Monitsrl


When the blockade of the allied coun-
tries. in its intensified form. was declared
by the central European powers, on the
first of February last, no secret was
made, by the German Ambassador. Count
Won Bernstorff, that 1t was aimed chiefly
at England, and that 1t would bring Eng
land to her knees within a month. After
having taken a night TO think II over,
Count Won Bernstorff revised his pro-
phecy, and made It three months. A
fleet OF three to five hundred submarines
would, he declared. blockade the waters
Of the allied countries, with the result
that in three months, at the longest. the
war would be settled. in favor OF the
central European powers, by the very
process Of starvation It had been pro-
posed to mete out to them The month
was long ago up, the three months Is
almost up, and yet Count Bernstorf's s
prophecy is unfulhnsd. Indeed, the
British mission, headed by Mr.. Balfour,
has arrived in the United States to
checkmate whatever lingering hope there
might have been OF success.
Instead OF England being starved out
as Count Bernstorff put It, England has
pooled her resources to assist the other
bellfgerents. She has detailed 10000 tons
OF shipping for the carrying service of
her allies, and what Mr.. Balfour is In
the United States for today is not to
arrange, as Count Bernstorff might have
fondly hoped. for the security OF the
United Kingdom. but for organizing the
full resources of the nations allied
against the central European powers in

Cnohicial and doubtless very tentative
reports OF the ideas OF the House sub

in import duties are unlikely; that stamp

employed; that lmposts on consumption
the "breakfast-table taxes" on coffee,
tea, and sugar-ars not favorably regard
ed; that liquor and tobacco will be heav-
lily taxed; that taxes on business will
be utilized (such as higher eXcess-proflts
taxation,) but with a view to the mini
mum of disturbance to normal movement
of trade; that the income-tax rate will
be advanced, but that, in this as in the
case OF the profits tax. the retroactive
Impost suggested by the Treasury will
not be adopted. This Is reasonable
working program. though involving
many intricate considerations. Such
questions will arise as the practicability
of adjusting fairly an eXcess-profits tax
