Was Lincoln A Conser-
uatiue Or A Radical !?

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves
and kept the Union intact, but he did
not keep the country out of war;"
was he conservative or radical?
In his new book, "The Foes of Our
Own Household" Theodore Roosevelt,
the twenty-sixth president of the
United States, discusses this question
concerning the martyred. sixteenth
president at some length, arriving at
the following conclusions: "In Lin
coins day, as in our day, there were
wise men and foolish men, good men
and evil men, both among those who
called themselves conservatives and
among those who called themselves
radicals; and sometimes emphasis had
to be placed on the need of daring, and
sometimes on the need Of caution. 1t
was the radicals who were most in
terested in the destruction of slavery;
and in this the radicals were right;
and although Lincoln held them back
and steadied them and waited until
the fullness of time, yet in the end he
led them to victory. But on the whole
the radicals put the destruction of
slavery above the preservation of the
Union, and herein they were wrong;
and the conservatives took the reverse
view, and herein they were right,
and Lincoln sided with them; and IN
the end they followed him when he
saw that it was best to make one cause
both of freeing the slave and of saw
ing the nation. From all his record
it is safe to say that if Lincoln had
lived to deal with our complicated
social and industrial problems he
would have furnished wisely con-
sentative leadership; but he wouIa
have led in the radical direction"

ONLY MIRACLE CAN SAVE
RUSSIA FROM COLLAPSE

ASSOCIATED Press by q. s. Naval Communi-
cation Serv1cel
PETROGRAD, Russia, May %
Whether Russia is on the verge of a
complete collapse so far as the war
is concerned or whether the demo
cratized nation Is stronger and more
determined upon fighting it out to d
victorious finish IS question that is
raised by strongly conflicting state
ments given out here yesterday by
Minister Of Finance Shingaroff and
Minister of War Karensky-
Shingaroff's statement was pessi-
mtstic in the extreme. According to
the minister Of finance, Russia's in
dustrial crisis is so acute that only a
miracle can save the nation from eco.
nomic ruin. The demands of the
workingmen, he said, are so enor'
nous that it is seemingly impossible
to keep industries going.
An investigation Of Petrograd fac.
tory conditions, II is stated, leads to
the inevitable conclusion that unless
means are soon found of adjusting
most Of the industries, the national
defense will have to be brought to a
close within a few months and Russia
will abandon her allies in their strug.
gle against the Central Powers.

ARMY ENGINEERS
MOST NECESSARY

Decision to send engineers TO Eur
ope Is understood 70 have grown out
OF conferences between government
officials and members Of the French
and British war missions One OF the
great problems OF the war has been
that OF maintaining adequate supply
lines and the railroads are the vital
element Of the system tnat feeds men,
shells and food toward the fighting
front from channel ports and from
france.
Engineering feats Of spectacular
nature have been accomplished in
perfecting these communication lines.
4 whole British railroad was picked
up almost bodily, rolling stock. rails,
roadbed, and all. and taken to France.
American engineers had much to do
with that. They also have, under
contract with the British and French
government, driven tunnels, bull:
spurs and bridges and mapped out
schemes OF transportation that are in
operation today
America Is preeminert in the field
OF railway engineering and the best
talent and experience the nation can
provide in that line will go into the
new regiments. each of which would
be- able to undertake all or any part
Of the work OF building or operating
a whole railway system.
The administrators action means
the American troops carrying the
American flag and in the uniform of
the American army are soon fo he on
French soil. If there is psychological
value in such movement, as both
urged, it will show itself with the
arrival In France Of the first engineer
regiments.

Rest will be spelled in so many

awaited His weary disciples with a
