in Russia
 Causes Umeasimess

1N HE eyes of the world are on
 O Russia. The allies fear that the great empire of the north is so badly disorganized, as result of the revolution and the activities of Ger man agents, that she will cease to play conspicuous part in the war. Germany hopes to alienate Russia from the entente The Russian armies are practically doing nothing. A state of affairs now exists which bodes no good for the allies and may eventually mean that America will have to make even greater sacrifices than at first contemplated, if Germany is to be de- feated.
 The Russians achieved their free dom by one of the least sanguinary revolutions in history and one that was extraordinary in other ways, but now that they have liberty they don't seem to know what to do with it. Former rulers acted on the theory that the Russian people were in- capable of self-government, and just at present, at any rate, they do not, apparently, realize what self govern ment means. Patriotic statesmen who might bring order out of chaos are i helpless in the hands of the workmen and soldiers.
 Unless some authority is soon estab- lished and recognized in Russia, and given the whole-hearted support of
 the army, the allies need expect no l further assistance from this quarter. On the other hand, it would not be
 surprising if Russia became a pas
 sive, if not an active, ally of the cen- tral powers. It is impossible to say
 what plans Germany has in mind, but
 we have seen in her attempt to align Japan and Mexico against the United States that the scope of her plotting is unlimited.

 The democr ey of France did not want war. The temocracy of this country shrank from it and shuddered, and would never have entered that cauldron if it had
 not been for the invasion of Belgium. Democracy sought peace, strove for peace and if Prussia had been democ-

 THE GREATEST HORSE TRADER From the American Magazine 1 Since the European war began, Jo Nu- gent of St. Louis and Des Moines, has sold approximately 100000 horses, the worlds biggest order for horse flesh, and
 he has built up the worlds greatest horse l market to supply the allied nations de-
 mands for horses His business with the . 1 foreign government has totaled moro
 than $1,000,000 a month for the last 16
 months, and the orders on hand, and
 others reputed coming, will keep him ! lousy. His daily income is said to be one
 of the most successful of the many war l babies" which are making scores of new millionaires in America. Tn view of the fact that Nugont has easily cleared over 1 sl,oo0oO0, his earning capacity has be-

The Foolish Habit of
 Talking Too Much

G6MMY tongue, though not my
 4VU heart, shall have his will, y saith the immortal bard. Frederick T. Reidt, for thirty years soldier in the United States army, may not quote Shakespeare when the occasion war rants. but he now realizes the folly of talking too much.
 Reidt had received an honorable discharge from the army and was living near Fort Sam Houston, the army post at San Antonio, on pen sion of $50 month. He is now serv- ing a two-year sentence in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth for mak ing derogatory remarks about the country and President Wilson.
 The prison sentence imposed by a courtmartial is bad enough for q man who likes to circulate freely among his acquaintances, but Reidt has also lost his pension. Small wonder if he curses that unruly member which brought him to such pass. After thirty years of faithful service a mo- ment's folly has deprived him of the comforts he might have enjoyed in his old age. This punishment would seem rather severe, but acts condoned in peace times cannot be tolerated when the nation is at war.
 Yet, the misguided Reidt is not so much to be censured as the habit of so abusing the freedom of speech in this country that it becomes license. Lam basting the government was until recently a national pastime. The highest officials of the land were the targets for every disgruntled politi- cian and taxpayer in the country. A citizen deemed it his inalienable right to call the man in office hard names, if that dignitary displeased him. There will always be freedom of speech in America, but we have had too many irresponsible takers. The time has come when such persons will have to curb their tongues, if they want to keep out of trouble.
 How Many Submarines
 Have Been Captured?
 A CCORDING to dispatch re- N ceived yesterday from Amster- dam, via London, from 80 to 100 Ger man submarines have been captured in British nets alone. It is estimated that the Germans still have about 825 U-boats in operation, including about 39 vessels of the newest and most powerful type, each carrying a crew of 56 men and speedy enough to overtake cargo boat. These vessels are equipped with two periscopes and carry enough supplies for fort nights cruise.
 If the figures given out in Holland are accurate, Great Britain has ac- counted for nearly one-third of the Kaiser's U-boats in operation, not counting others that have been sunk by gunfire. Evidently means are be- ing found to cope with the U-boat menace with increasing effectiveness, but no effort is made to minimize the seriousness of the situation.
 The U-boat problem has not yet been solved. If Great Britain thought that she was making satisfactory progress against them, there would not have come such an urgent appeal for American inventors to bestil themselves.
 The American public has growr somewhat skeptical of optimistic re ports sent ''via London," which means

LAMENT OF A THIN MAN. Shaking and shivering, muttered Sam Toots, This is no weather for Palm Beach suits.

 EASILY ACQUIRED. If you have never had any military ex- perience, how did you happen to get the title of colonel?" asked the inquisitive stranger.

Knew Date of Italian offensive

T was particularly interested in the reports that an Italian offensive had started" said c. M. Stanley, for some of my Italian friends in Birmingham told me as much as six weeks ago that there would be big things on the Italian front beginning May 13.
 The real offensive will start May 1S' they said. At the time I made note of the prediction so that I could check them up and see whether they knew what they were talking about. It simply goes to show how closely they keep in touch with affairs at home.
 These local Italians have been sub- jected to more or less bandnage recently because there was apparently nothing doing on their front line. We shall now see whether May IS really was to chronicle the beginning of operations on a scale commensurate with the efforts being exerted by the allies on the west ern front"

Long Wanted Cue

Commissioner Barber was reading Mothers Magazine yesterday morning, when presenting his case against the pool rooms of the city.
 T want to call your attention to the class of articles In this magazine MT. President" said Mir. Barber.
 MT. Barber enumerated the various subjects covered by the magazine, nam ing them as he turned the pages, final ly coming to one article, parts of which he read to the commissioners, the point being an objection to pool rooms as seen by the writer. In his announcement of the captions. he named "The Art of Get ting Married and MT. Ward quickly chirped in:
 T would like to borrow that maga- zine when you get through with it, Arlie"
 MT Barber smiled and said 'Yes, I will be glad to lend 1t to you; maybe it will give you the long wanted cue"

Example of Supreme Galiantry


 "Of course. deeds of heroism on the battle fronts in Europe are common enough" said Charley Klotzman, but to me the story of the French soldiers who crawled across No Mans Land the other night and stuck hundreds of Pres ident Wilson's addresses on the barbed wire in front of the German trenches is the most inspiring"
 The story relates" continued MT. Klotzman, that when the Germans saw these hundreds of pamphlets the next morning they began firing at them, whereupon the French raised large ban ner from their trenches on which was printed, We won't fire while you collect the messages Several German soldiers then came gingerly over the parapet and collected the leaflets. I claim this Is the greatest example of supreme gallantry that has yet been presented to us"

HOTEL LOBBIES
Must Let the Trees Alone

Horse owners who, either through neglect or economy, have allowed their fiery steeds to eat the bark off street trees will do well to realize at once that their chargers have had their last mu- nicipal banquet" declared Mayor Ward.
 Mayor Ward, among his other activi- ties, as Is known, has been largely in- strumental in having many young and beautiful shade trees planted along DOT tions of the city's thoroughfares
 The city may assess fine of $50 to horse owners who permit their nags to re- gale themselves with choice tidbits from municipal trees and shrubbery," he fur ther said T feel deep sympathy for some of these faithful horses whose meals usually consist of an oat, more or less, but we don't propose to have our trees mutilated and killed on that account"
