RUSSIAN PEACE.

CERTAIN DISAPPOINTMENT because Of the Boshe-
wiki peace performance is natural enough but shouldn't
cause lasting depression like sitting down on a derby
hat For year more Russia has been about as help
fu to the allies as sore toe Pavlowa and irritating
But as far as peace concerned Russia will be and is
about as peaceful as Mexico the celebrated Kilkenny
cats
land of leaders who can't lead, and followers who
won't follow the Russian air Is destined to be filled with
shredded whskers and shattered oonsonans for some time
to come An armstce with the central powers will give
Russia more time devote TO homcidal home industries,
and shift the OF hosies to Petrograd but it won't
reduce the death rate calm the political pulse OF the
feverish Slavs,
Russia not only doesn't know what it wants but prob
ably won't like when it gets it, The Boshevk element
can't agree with the rest Of the country and isn't likely TO
agree with itself very long at time, and the result IS
going to be continuous Joint debate with shrapnel and
machine guns as the most convincing arguments.
Out Of it all there may arise who combines both
sense and force enough reoganzc Russia into regular
country entitled standing among the nations but he
has large rectangular job ahead OF him, which make
harnessng volcano playful pastu'e, About all h
has to start with is plenty Of material most OF which
