 It is the persons who would de- ceive the people and exploit them for their own profit that are keep ing them in ignorance.
 All these tricks fail their intended purpose. Simplicity and truthfulness are the best principles of policy.

 All great events hang on a hair The able man profits by everything and neglects nothing that may give him one chance the more of success. The less competent man, by despis ing some single precaution, often los es everything.
 In war it is mere prudence not to underrate the strength of an enemy whom you know, and to overestimate the strength of the enemy whom you do not know
 A great battle is always a grave affair. Great risks are always run in fighting it. The most difficult thing in war is to guess the plans of the nemy and to discern the truth in the various reports received. A front can oily be effectively defended if positions are held for offensive action. If you do nothing but defend yourself you incur risk without any compensating gain If, however, you combine the defensive with an offensive, you create for the enemy greater risk than he imposes on the defending force. A commander in chief ought never to allow either the victors or the vanquished to rest quietly.
 You have no teams" you say; re- quisition them where you can find them. You have no depots," that is absurd. I order you 12 hours after you have received this present let ter to take the field. If you are the soldier you were once keep your command If your SO years weigh too heavily on you, resign at once. Our country is threatened and in deadly peril. It can only be saved by audacity and strong will; not by such feeble half-measures as yours. 1-(To one of his marshals, Augereau. who had once been an energetic sol dier) Correspondence 27 No. 21,343. It is your fault if you make no progress in your task. Clear the ob- stacles out of your way and you will achieve success. By constantly ex- erting strong will you can always succeed.
 I passed for being a terrible fel- low in the drawing rooms, among the officers. perhaps too, among my generals. but never among the sol diers. They have the instinct of truthfulness and sympathy. They know I was their protector and, if they were ill-treated, their avenger. Men are weak through indolence or want of selfconfidence. Woe to the leader in whom both defects are combined.
 The art of war is like everything else that is noble and simple. The simplest movements are the best Anything can be remedied with courage and patience.

RUSSIA DECLARES FULL
APPROVAL OF U. S. STAND
Foreign Office Expresses Apprecia-
ton Formally Of Reputation by
o. s. Of Submarine Program,

PETRoGRAD. February s.-The for
eign office has given the following
statement to the Associated Press in
regard o the action Of the United
States in terminating diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany:
THE decision Of the government OF
the United States to sever relations
with a nation which has persisted in
the violation and perversion Of all laws
Of warfare has produced a deep i'm
preston in Russia. We felt assured in
advance that the United States would
not tolerate this last threat of Ger
many, but we are none the less appre-
ciative of the prompt and decisive man
ner in which President Wilson has
shown his disapproval of Germany's
mad submarine program and his re-
luctance to continue on friendly terms
with a nation which ignores the first
principles Of civilization and humanity.
Whatever may be the further con-
sequences of the present diplomatic
rupture Germany, at least, has been
shown that any continuance OF her
past methods will meet the open hos
tility of the civilized world. 1t is inn
possible for any OF the warning nations,
however confident in the Justice. of the
cause for which they are fighting. to
remain insensiole to the approval or
disapproval Of a great neutral power.
For this reason we cannot too deep
ly acknowledge appreciation OF Presi-
dent Wilson's verdict. Everywhere
where men are fighting for the triumph
United States will call forth new cour-
age and consolidate their conviction OF
a. necessity of finishing forever with
German militarism and Its atrocities.

though Rpmania's fate IL alluded to
here ana there. as In the Neue Freis
Presse, hitherto the leading peace ad-
v0cate In the monarchy.
President Wilson gets scant notice
and what comment there IL IL decidedly
mild. Most editorials, among them
those of the Fremdenblatt, the Tage-
blatt, tho 2elt, tho Poster Lloyd and
the Pestf-Hirlap, say that the Prest-
don't in expressing the hope that Euro
pean neutra1s would also sever rela-
tions proved that he was not informed
on European politics and was applying
to Europe . doctrine similar to that
Of Monroe. which was wholly inap-
plicable.
Some writer's opine that the President
hoped to frighten the central powers
into q submissive attitude by causing
the European neutrals also to break
relations and that this In effect had
been uppermost in his mind when he
decided to give Count Won Bernstotn
his passports
This IS the first day in almost three
weeks that no snow has fallen. The
signs Indicate, however, that the clear
weather will end shortly, in which
event the present poor traffic facilities
will cease altogether and the bringing
Of food and fuel into the city win be-
come a serious problem. There Is much
suffering among the poor classes as e
result Of the spell Of great cold. There
is deep snow everywhere and the fuel
