THE RUSSIAN CRISIS

The news which comes over the
cables from Russia should make AM
ericans pause to take stock of the
world war situation Possibly the
reports may be exaggerated; ON the
other hand. it is possible that the
full extent OF the disaster to the ar
mics Of the new Russian republic
may be veiled behind the censor's
fears.
But be that as it may. the situa-
tion holds out little hope that the
vast horde of Russian peasants. feel
ing for the first time the freedom
from authority and any obligation of
national duty. can be welded into an
-essctirs- Sishtiss-ne for some
time to come. Russia Is not ma
tional unity. Her people do not
sense national ideals. ambitions or
duties. Their swinging away from
the regime Of czardom leaves them
suspicious OF the ambitions and pur-
poses Of the old Russian government.
a
With the feeling Of newborn indi-
vidualism surging through the veins
OF their poorly educated masses. 1t
would be miracle IL their effective
ness as a war making nation could
be brought about until after a period
OF domestic strife, disagreement,
struggle and bloodshed, which will
finally weld them into new nation.
Through the cloud OF disaster and
pessimism which is lowering over
the Russian armies comes one CLEAN
OF hope. The German autocracy,
with its customary blindness to the
feelings Of others. Is pounding the
Russian army mercilessly in the
thought that the best way to accom-
plish national objects is by sheer
might. This demonstration to the
Russians Of their common danger
from foreign foe may be the means
OF enabling Premier Kerensky to
unite the Russians. pending the
settlement OF chaotic domestic sit
uation.
But the problem is OF such por-
tent that the course OF America is
made plain. This nation should
settle into the serious business Of
protecting democracy and the sacred
institutions OF Individual liberty al
though Russia had been finally elm.
mated from the situation. Should
Russia pull herself together and
hold herself steadfast against both
the military might and intrigues OF
the kaiser. America will be all the
better for having forced military
preparations to the utmost. But thii
is only possibility. Americas plain
duty is to throw all It's manhood ant
It's last ounce OF material resource
into the conflict against military au.
tocratIc domination.
This means a united nation. This
means a rigorous repression Of every
domestic conflict which interferes
with the work of preparing for war
IL means the sinking Of personal
preferences into national duty; -
yes, duty more than national. one

IDAHO WOMEN ARE
ASKED TO REGISTER
WHY A COMPLETE LIST OF THE
LOYAL WORKERS is ES-
SENTIAL

Women who have already registered
through the Red Cross and women.
who have signed Hoover pledge cards
are asking why they should register
again. The answer is the Red Cross
has carefully defined lines of service.
1t cares for the wounded and sick,
provides hospital equipment and sup1
plies, furnishes necessities such as
knitted garments not furnished by the
government, and generally supervises
military relief work.
This is only one department of the
work women will be- expected to do
Undoubtedly much clerical work will
be needed by the Red Cross. But more
will be needed in other activities
Home charities, social welfare work.
outside training and concentration
camps, re-educating disabled soldiers,
conservation propaganda, are among
the more important activities which
the Red Cross does not attempt to COW
er
Added to these are the increasing de-
mands for women to take the places
of men who are with the national
army. Both forms of registration are
optional but that of the Council of the
National Defense is census of the
woman power of the nation. Though
not compulsory, the federal govern
ment has asked for and expects such a
census.
The registration card lists 156 oc-
cupations for women; for some OF
these you will be fitted If you do
not know exactly how you can help,
the nearest registrar will tell you.
Your country and your state need
your help To use your best, they
must know what you do best The
women of Idaho must make this
firm.

The American soldier is wearing
seven league boots these days. Some
idea of how quickly the continent is

ent can be obtained from a statement
by local officials of the railroads war
board that 5000 soldiers have just
been moved from the Pacific to the At

their equipment with them and were
provided with sleeping cars by the
Pullman company. The trains operat-
ed in 16 sections and consisted of IL
tourist cars and two baggage cars.
There were 500 men to train. The
Pullman company has established
"war headquarters" at Washington,
and has already supplied sleeping cars
for the movement of half million
men.
To assure the safety of soldiers in
transit, the railroads have adopted an
average speed of 25 miles an hour for
all trains except when freight cars are

GERMAN PAPERS
AGAINST IDOLS
START CRUSADE TO DESTROY
ALL FRENCH MONUMENTS IN
ALSACE-LORRAINE
BY HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES-In
pursuance of Germany's new policy
of settling the question of Alsace and
Lorraine by dispensing the population
and confiscating their property in or
der that the two provinces may be col
onized by Germans after the war, the
Germans press has just begun cam
paign for the destruction of monu-
ments erected in the honor of marshals
and generals from Alsace and Lor-
raine who distinguished themselves in
the service of France.
Under the empire and the republic
Alsace and Lorraine contributed no
less than 20 famous general and mar
shals to the French armies Twenty
selves that their names are carved on
the Arch of Triumph, at Paris,
amongst those of the greatest military
geniuses of France.
Monuments to many of these were
also erected at various times in their
native provinces. Various German
that have just reached the
hands of the French military author
tiles now advocate the destruction of
these. The "Rhein Westphalishce
Zeitung," for example, says:
I'VE should no longer hesitate to
demolish and melt up the numerous
to the plunder marshals
and generals of Alsace and oLrraine.
These monuments remind us of the
time when the German provinces of
Alsace, the Palatinat and the south
ern states were sacked and pillaged,
the population assassinated and the
cities destroyed. Let us throw them all
into the melting pot
