CONGRATULATE RUSS

CONGRATULATE RUSSIA! - In
the midst of the profound joy we
have in the freeing of Russia do not
miss the fact that our government
has a duty to perform to the new de-
mocracy.
At the earliest possible moment it
should recognize and congratulate
whatever government the Russian
people set up.
About this there should be no IN
certain sound.
We have direct interest in the
spread of democracy. Every new de-
mOcracy on earth is the child of de-
mocracy in the United States.
We have the greatest possible in
terest in the spread of democracy in
Russia. The Russian people are old
friends and admirers Of ours. Their
accession to the control of their own
affairs means not only the triumph
of the ideas we stand for, but it
means much for our own safety.
Strangely enough, we have not al
ways made about the launching of
new demOcracies the kind of a record
likely to fill the patriots heart with
gladness.
We were one Of the last of all the
nations to recognize the republic of
Brazil after the expulsion of the en-

We were one of the last of all ma

We were one of the last of all ma
tions to recognize the republic Of
China, although there was in this
case a particular reason why we
should have been the first.
Let US make no more blunders Of
this kind.
Recognize Russia and do it before
anybody else.
More than we think, the world
turns to us for a keynote. If we
pleased we could exert upon its
affairs more influence than any ma
ton. There never was a better time
to exert it.
We are glad that autOCTacy was
oYerthroWn in Russia-of course we
are! We are glad that the great
Russian people have cast from them
a form Of government utterly insult
ed to this age and to modern ciViliza-
tiOn-Of course we are! We are glad
to see the kingdoms fewer by one
Of course we are!
We needn't be ashamed of being
glad; we needn't hide the fact of our
gladness.
Let the Russian democrats know
that we are with them. Let them
know it just the first minute there is
any government at Petrograd to ad-
dress.
That's the Americanism of it. Let's
be American!

Before China joined in the war

laborers to France, England and Rus
STA. Coolies for agricultural work
and dock work have been going to
western Europe for nearly two
years. Russia has also been drawing,
from China's inexhaustible supply of
labor for Siberian mines and Siber-
Ian farms.
,Now that China is actually in the
war, the task of recruiting laborers
for work beyond the seas will be far
easier The government will lend
willing hand and competition which
hitherto has existed between the var
lpus powers in recruiting coolies prob
ably will be eliminated.
OF the 400,000,000 persons in China,
1t is estimated that at least 40, 900
are men capable of carrying arms or
doing some sort of labor directly con-
nected with the war. OF this num-
Der 20,000,OO0 are living within rea-
hpnable distance of transportation ia

abundance of men that millions could

THE SOLDIERS RESPONSIBILITY.

A soldiers muscles must not only be
strong-they must be elastic. He must
be prepared to run, to jump, to crawl,
to wriggle, to shoot or to handle the
bayOnet from the most unexpected po.
sitions. That Is why he is put through
the settling-up exercises. By bending,
thrusting with his arms and legs, rais-
ing himself from the floor, his body Is
made athletic and supple for every
demand which may be imposed upon 1t.
Military discipline begins with the
muscles, must be impaired to the
nerves, and become imbedded In the
brain.
A rounded shoulder is n slack rope
The soldier whose body sags out Of
shape spends almost as much energy
in pulling himself together as he does
in the specified motion itself. On the
other hand, the man whose muscles
are disciplined is at u balance, ready
at once to respond to any command
from the brain. When mans muscles
are soft, they sullenly resent all orders
from the BRAIN They have not learned
to obey.
The nerves must be even more strict
ly disciplined. For even If a soldiers
muscles are trained to execute any or.
der he receives, If his nerves run away
with him, good legs only carry him
faster. And discipline of the mind is
most important of all, for the mind ad-
ministrntes through the nerves.
A disciplined mind will think precise
ly. That is why military training re-
quires that soldier speak precisely,
that he follow correct forms In receIv.
ing and transmitting orders, In making
out reports, in addressing n letter. The

crlspness of military intercourse does
not stunt mental development. But
war Is the most exact of modern
sciences and n soldier must strive to
become exact. In other words, he is
simply taught how to tlink-not what
to think.
AS soon as II soldier begins to think
formation. He will learn that the han
ding of large bodies of men pivots
upon the handling of u squad. He will
famlllnrize himself with his work in a
squad, and In that way discover his
Importance to the command as whole.
The squad consists of eight men, in
two rows of four. II Is under the com.
mand of a corporal. Two squads form
Il section, under the command of SER
geant. Three sections Cat peace
strength form a platoon and two pla-
toons company. Four companies
make battalion; three battalions, plus
headquarters company, II machine
gun company. and supply company, a
regiment
The young soldier learns that as the
squad moves, so the company or the
regiment moves. He learns that If he
individually executes the orders he re-
ceives in the appointed space and at
the appointed moment, whole rcxt-
ment may wheel from squad to COM
.pany front and back again, for exan.-
pie, without the loss of a step. Each
part Of the machine will fit perfectly
into place. On the other hand. If he as
an Individual falls down in his part,
the squad evolution Is spoiled, the
symmetry of the company is broken
and the whole regiment suffers in con-
sequence. The responsibility rests
upon each man-this the young soldier
must learn. And he must also learn
that discipline is the quickest means
yet devised to give any body of sol
diers that perfect team work, that au-
tomato, unconscious coordination
without which battles and campaigns
cannot be successfully planned and
fought.
