Food Rotting on Ground.

Serious as the grain shortage is. the
transportation situation is still more
serious. Food for which Petrograd and
Moscow would pay almost any money
rots on the ground, spoils in the half
loaded freight cars and wastes in con-
gested way stations for lack of trans
portation facilities and lack of labor.
In the industrial world things are as
bad. The working people. blind to their
own peril. have shortened hours OF
work, have gone slack on their Jobs
and have voted themselves wages FAR
in excess of their productive activities.
The consequences are rapidly accumu-
lating. Factories are closing down.
partly because they cannot get coal
and partly because of the extortions of
labor. Soon there will be gaunt famine
in the land. The working people will
know what 1t is to go hungry with
their pockets full of money.
When these troubles culminate-and
in February and March, 1918, the world
will stand aghast at Russia's state-the
orgy of the bolsheviki, the riot of the
dreamers will end. Human nature is the
same in Russia as 1t is elsewhere, the
same as it Is in New York or In En-
poria. Kan.
The full-dinner-pail argument is go
ing to appeal strongly to the Russian
masses this coming winter, and if the
constituent assembly is postponed un-
til the autumn of 1918 am confident
that the people will vote in favor. not

Need a Mark Hanna.

What Russia needs above all other
things is leaders. What the people of
this country must do for Russia is to
help her find and develop those leaders.
They are there somewhere. Russia has
shown that she can produce great men
and great women, people whom any ma
tion might be proud to follow. But
under czardom the only people permit
ted to lead were so corrupt, so reac-
tionary and tyrannical that the Rus
SLAMS learned TO fear and distrust all
leadership. When they overthrow
czardom and banished the tyrants and
the corruptionists they thought they
could get along without any leaders.
The world knows now how fatal was
their mistake. and very soon the blind
est of the blind in Russia will know it.
Russia needs not only political lead
ers. she needs, even more urgently,
leaders in the economic field. She needs
at the present time a business man of
the caliber of Mark Hanna, a man who.
with better ethical standard. pos
sesses Mark Hanna's great genius for
organization, his marvellous executive
ability.

to send Red Cross relief to q people

however willfully tho crisis was

We must loan money to Russia even
though we lose the money. We must
send her food and supplies even though
they be received without much graft

Make Moonshine Vodka.

The farmer class of Russia this year
did not produce full crops, and they re-
fused to send to market very large
proportion Of what they did produce.
They boarded their grain for their own
use, and some of it at least they have
turned into vodka. In the towns and
cities Of Russia prohibition almost pro-
hibits. but the peasant very quickly
learned the art of Illicit distilling. and
1 heard on authority could scarcely
question that stills have been established
in half the villages of Russia.
The statement is borne out to some
extent by the fact that drunkenness
among soldiers is increasing, especially
In places remote from the larger cities.

hourly. From two sources there have
come to Washington in the past twenty.
four hours regulations of the extremist
rule.
Russian army and navy contingentz
serving in France have presented resolu-
tions to the French government declaring
their refusal to recognize the faction now
in control in Petrograd. Kropotkin, "fa.
ther of anarchists and Maxim Gorixy
extreme radical, also have declared for
mally against the bolshevih government.
Especial significance is attached IL
Washington to the disavowal of the Maxi
malists by two of the leaders in radical
ism and socialism in Russia Recent re
ports indicated that the bolshevili sought
every occasion to unity the radical and
extreme forces in Russia, and counted
upon such coalition as making for their
ultimate success. This effort seems tc
have failed. With the extremists hghtins
among themselves. it is held here, the con-
stitutional democrats and the conserva-
tive wing Of the socialists will have a
greater opportunity to unite on a program
which will bring order out Of the tempo
rary chaos in Russia.

The effect of the action of Russia's
fighting forces in France also is be-
lieved to hold good omen Of the spirit
of the men under arms in Russia
There never has been any announce.
ment of the number of Russians fight
ing in France. Contingents of consid-
erable size were sent some time ago
partly for the moral effect of having
the Russians meet the enemy side by
side with their western allies.
Extracts from published articles OF
Kropotkin and Gorky have reached
Washington. In violent attacks upon
the bolsheviki leaders Gorky describes
Lenine and Kerensky as blind and un-
scrupulous adventurers." Kropotkin ex-
pressed indignation at the armfstice
and declared that Russia not only will
be ruined during the war. but for
scores OF years thereafter by the large
indemnities she must pay and by com
mercial treaties which would be for
Germany's advantage. He predicts a
fate for Russia like that Of France in
1871.
