RUSSIA.

For several months we have heen dis.
cussing the possible results to the war,
from the effects OF the Russian revolu-
zion. The verdict has been that Russia
sis practically out OF it and that the en-
stente allies could expect no further act
I've assistance from that country.
] But during the last two weeks other
revolutions have occurred in that un-
happy country and now the question
comes what will happen In Russia itself?
a! AS We write on Wednesday morning,
tie conflicting despatches from Petro
grad appear to show that there are now
three contending forces IN the civil war
that is progressing there. First the new
revolutionlsts which seems composed of
several factions with unspellable names;
second Kerensky, the leader of the Sec
ond revolution. and third Korniloff.
The first Of these are the extreme soci-
alists and anarchists, the second lot are
those who follow Kaerensky and broadly
speaking are the moderates and middle
classes, while Korniloff must have per-
sonal following not yet defined as to de-
shres and beliefs.
But this is but Petrograd and to some
extent Moscow only. We know that the
army is divided, and perhaps somewhat
puzzled, with the varying political events
OF the various governments already COM
ing and going in Russia. What the
world does not yet know is about the
country folks of Russia.
We only know that as yet they have
apparently made no decisive moves in
either of the revolutions. These have
occurred in Petrosrad with some COM
motion in few other large cities.
We also know that the peasant popu-
lation, said to be 80 per cent of the whole
S0,O00. 900 of Russian people are very H.
literate, have very little means of inter-
communication, are superstitious. and
are slow physically and mentally.
1t Is just sort of people as these ig.
norant slow-moving peasant Russians,
when excited by fear, hate or passion
become the most dangerous and most
liable to commit the most hendish ut.
rocities. The fact that their ''enemies''
are people of their own blood only inten-
sites their unreasoning passions and
temporary hatred.
What will become of Russia if the fires
of the Petrograd revolutions spread to
these dry prairies of poor but intlam-
mable peasantry?
Not the least of the awful calamities
of this. horrible war is the possibility,
perhaps probability. of general civil war

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

s'All Gaul is divided into three parts
began Caesars war history. All Russia
is divided into three parts is our story
today. And each of these three parts is
also divided into three parts and so on
ad infnitum. Though possibly it may
not be quite true that ''all Russia" is so
divided. Our news is entirely from Pet
rograd and varies in contradictions ac-
cording to which party has control of
the wires. We have discussed soma
phases of the present conditions there in
another editorial on this page.
In Italy the condition is one OF hope
rather than of definite encouragement.
The Italians have stopped the rush of
the Austro-German armies, but the lat
ter are still gaining ground. 1t is expect.
ed that as soon as the French and Brit
ish reinforcements get in action that the
invaders will be permanently stopped.
The latter are now within twenty miles
of Venice.
In northern France there has been
some fighting but the conditions are un-
changed.
A meeting was held this week of the
premiers of the entente countries and
arrangements we're made for the ap-
pointment Of a sort of central military
committee for the purpose OF centra]i-

THE STUDY OF
THE GERMAN LANGUAGE.

0oAoioOAoOlO AISSuoSlou % tuO YOU'LL.
ing German in schools and colleges
seems to ignore the answer to the ques-
ton as to why it is desirable to learn
German, or for that matter any foreign
language.
Most persons assume that the princi-
pal object of learning such languages is
to be able to converse with the people of
the foreign country. If this we're all. if
this were the principal object, then in a
majority of cases the labor would be
of little actual use.
Very few pupils who stake Germa n"
in the high schools and colleges ever
have much if any practical use of Ger
man as means of conversation.
As matter of fact, an American can
travel in Europe in almost any country
there knowing no language but English,
with but little inconvenience. The rea-
son is that the English language is the
universal language of the world, and is
taught in practically all the schools Of
the European countries, especially in
Germany. II these people thus learn
English then it is apparently of no prac-
tical benefit for us to learn the foreign
language.
To illustrate, several years ago, while
on the Atlantic coast we went on board
a splendid sailing ship of the German
merchant marine. We were courteously
greeted and entertained by the Captain
and mate and considerable time spent
in conversation in English they both
spoke fuently. Remarking on their
command of our language to the mate
he replied, mo German may get a
license to serve as an officer on board a
merchant ship unless he can stand an
examination in the English language"
But there are good reasons apart from
mere conversation for. the study of
foreign languages. For instance, no one
in these days studies Latin, Greek or
Hebrew for the purpose of talking with
the people that spoke these languages,
for obvious reasons.
But the study of language has many
very interesting phases for the student.
The grammatical structure. the roots,
the idioms, the derivations, the history,
the methods of expression by writing.
pictures, etc all are of interest in them
selves.
However, the principal object of learn
ing other languages both dead and liv-
ing, is to be able to read literature of
such languages in the original tongue
in which they were written. While
English translations can usually be pur-
chased, it is q fact that no two or more
languages are duplicates in mea nlng;
many words. many expressions many
idioms are impossible Of exact transla-
tion.
Looking at it from this point Of view,
there is just as much reason, and no
more objection, patriotic or otherw Use.
for the study Of German in our schools
than before the war. 4
The literature Of Germany boasts
many men Of genius and no country un-
less it may be England, has richer minds
in poetry, music, art and science than
Germany.

MI. and Mrs. George Met Curdy of Bac-
koo leave soon for stay in southern
California.
Cavalier community was greatly shock.
ed last Monday when it was known that
Miss Vida Veum, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. L. Veum, had passed away at an
early hour. She had been i'll only a
week with double pneumonia and her
case had become suddenly critical. Vida
Veum was born at Mclean in the wes-
tern part of the county, fifteen years
ago. She was greatly beloved by her
associates and all who knew her. The
family had lived IN Cavalier for three
years. The bearers were her school
mates. Rev. 3. F. Stump officiated at
the funeral. The remains we're laid to
rest in the Cavalier cemetery.
Rex Campbell, seven year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Campbell of Wal.
halla, received what might have been a
very serious accident when he caught on
to the motor truck driven by Frank
Fraiser. AS the little fellow caught on
to the side Of the box his knees swung
under and the right knee caught in the
drive chain, which wound clear around
the knee. cutting a deep gash about fif-
teen inches long, in both upper and low
or part of his leg. The chain was very
loose and easily thrown off the compact,
else the knee would have been severed.
No bones were broken and the boy is
doing as we'll as possible.

Curious Bombardment.

The Island of st. Thomas. in the
West Indies, has near its shores the
Ship Rock, which appears, when seen
from 4 short distance, like full,
rugged ship under canvas If the sky
lie clonded and atmosphere hazy the
illusion is remarkable.
There is told the story of mortify-
ing mistake made by French cor.
yette while cruising in these ATTITUDES
years ago. 1t was at time when the
buccaneers were making great havoc
with legitimate commerce in the West
indies. The coast was partially hid
den by fog when the corvette made
out this rock and, supposing it to be
q ship under full sail, fired gun to
leeward to bid her leave to- OF course,
there was no response to the shot,
and the Frenchman brought his ship
closer and cleared the decks for ac-
ton
Satisfied that he had to do with a
powerful az tersary. he discharged the
whole of his starboard armament into
the suppose ship looming through
the mist. The corvette went about
and prepared to deliver her port guns
in similar manner. Then the fog
slowly dispersed, and the rock smiled
grimly on ITS assailants.
