Will Russia Fight Again?

out OF the maze Of conflicting stories from
~ Russia there has come one reassuring
note. We have been told by General Verk-
hovsky, tho new Minister of War, that Russia
Is rcorganiztng its enormous army into q
virile fighting force, and that before this
war ends Germany will find herself face to
face with the most powerful military ma
chine that has yet operated on her northern
front.
These same brave words have been spoken
before. Wo know this, and our government
knows 1t. At tho outset of the conflict we
held our breath whilo the great Russian
"steamroller" was putting itself in motion.
We believed that the 100000 or 5000. 900
men commanded by the Gear would prove
irresistible. because OF tho weight of num-
bers If for no other reason. We saw Grand
Duke Nicholas roll the Germans back on one
battle line and crumple up tho Austrian force
on another Then something happened. The
Russians stood still for a day, and all at once
seemed to reel backward. Twice since then
the Russian armies. reorganized and re-
mun1tloned, have actually penetrated the Car
pathfan Mountains and looked from the
heights down upon the plains of Hungary
Galicia has been twice overrun. But each
time something else happened. Twice more
the Russians stood still for brief time then
fell back or were driven back across their
own frontiers. Now they have been ousted
from Galicia and from Russian Poland Riga
is In the hands of the enemy and Petrograd
is threatened. But Russia Is far from con-
quered. The Russian armies may be de-
moralzed and may not know from day to
day who Is In actual command The govern
ment may be unstable and unsupported by
those forces which would make it strong
But there is still some spirit left In the dis
tracted republic. There are still men of
power who will not invite national ignominy
by throwing up their hands and allowing
Germany to dictate terms of separate peace.
Kerensky seems to have by his side one
OF the men OF this type. The new Secretary
of War gives promise of military policy
worthy OF the part which Russia has chance
to play. He declares that he will reorganize
the army upon the basis OF those Of the al
lies Ho will put steel in the hands Of his
men and spirit in their hearts. He knows
that they cannot fight without munitions and
without railroads. He proposes to devote
the inactive period OF the winter to this Job
and by spring to develop new revolutionary
force that will strike harder than Russia
has ever struck.
In the meantime. America and Japan are
uniting in policy Of industrial support which
will regenerate Russia's military efficiency
II the Germans can BIO held in allegiance until
winter, the next six or seven months will
find the armies in the field supported as they
have never been.
