 but as for liking him awfully well. why I'd never think of such a thing!

 at that it doesn't explain why you

1nent as there were those who were at work undermining Kerensky. This is disclosed by the reports from that country to the effect that certain leaders are preventing supplies from going to Petrograd and others to the effect that army commanders are com piaining of the exhaustion of sup plies with hungry hordes of soldiers docking to the cities
 This must make it apparent even to the followers of the Bolshevili that the government which they are en- deavoring to establish is weak and powerless and destined to give way to something else at no distant date whether a bloody civil war develops or not. If Russia is going to exist it must have a firm government and that is what it is very evident it does not possess now. All the Bolsheyiki have accomplished is to get Russia into communication with Germany regarding the desertion of it's allies and an inglorious peace with the enc my. There is little wonder that the Russian situation is desperate.

BLOCKED PEACE DRIVE.

Not for some days now have we heard anything about a new move by the central powers in behalf of peace. 1t was not long ago. however. when the Austro- German forces were push ing through northern Italy in close pursuit of General cadorpa's armies that there were runlors that a new peace move was about to be launch = sd. That was of course an suspicious moment for circulating such talk be- cause of the effect it would have up- on the enemy. who for the time be- ing were experiencing the depressing effects of the Russian situation and the Italian debacie.
 It is always when the outlook seems dulsed in by the central powers be- yantages are possessed for favorable consideration, while the effect both at home and among the enemy nations is foothold at all.
 But quicker than had been antic:- pated the allies have struck a return blow. The situation in Russia has shown little change but Italy has stopped it's retreat while the British and French have made some serious punctures along the western front. Amongst those with whom the cen- tral powers would make peace there is no disposition for such an arrange ment until an end has been put to Prussianisn1. When peace is made it will not bear the imprint made in Germany"

AIDING ITALY.

Although details have not been gone into, one at least of the reasons for the delay in getting the reinforce ments of British and French to the points where they will be able to render such assistance as Italy re- quires is furnished by the statement to the effect that after forced marches covering eight days these troops have covered a distance of 12O miles and are now in position and eager to do their part in holding or forcing back the Austro-Germans.
 In these days when railroads are so extensively depended upon for the movement of troops little thought is given to getting them from point to point otherwise, where any great dis -ance is involved, but the forced march in which 15 miles a day was made explains why the additional few days" were required for getting this help where it was needed. Wheth- CT this was done because of the lack of railroads or equipment. or whether it was for the purpose of giving free rein to the transportation of supplies and guns which could not be for warded otherwise is not disclosed but it is case which demonstrates the importance of adequate railroad fa- cilities in waging war and shows how greatly Germany is able to profit by -lhe network of rails which covers that country. Relief forces need to be moved quickly and 1t is most for tunate in this instance that the Ital- ians have heen able to hold back the invaders until help could come From now on the menace of the Austro- Germans should gradually diminish.
