Russia's Strong Man

From an editorial in The Chicago
Evening Post: Among all the Rus
sian names with which American
tongues have become stumblingly
familiar in the last few weeks none
is better known today than that OF
Kerensky.
This. man, 3e years Of age, physic-
ally weak, but great in mind and
spirit, hold for the worlds de-
mocracies the hope that Russia Will
again take her place in their fight
ing ranks. .--,.s
Kerensky was born of poor par
ents in the town Of Tashkent in Cen
trail Russia His ambition took him
to the schools; his industry won him
an education. He became a lawyer
and opened a little office in Moscow.
He was a radical, identified with the
Socialist Labor group. His gift of
eloquepce made him acceptable as a
speaker and gained him some littld
reputation in legal circles,
In 1913 there was a strike in the
gold fields of Siberia. Nearly 400
OF the strikers were killed in volley

they marched in orderly demonstra-

The Minneapolis Journal: Har-
vest time is rapidly approaching,
and the forehanded farmer is already
making his preparations and laying
his plans for gathering his grain
and handling it to the best advan-
tage.
one of the problems to be solved
is what to do with his wheat and oats
and barley. when the line elevators
have all been filled and cars cannot
be obtained for shipment to market,
as may be the situation.
The forehanded farmer, If he had
not already provided a granary, will
build one now. There lie time to do
the work before harvest comes. and
the investment Is q sound one for
any farm. Possession OF a granary
on the farm enables the grain raiser
to handle his, crops to the best adj
vantage, and to prevent loss when
shipping conditions are unfavorable.
Another approved expedient at
harvest time Is to stack the shocked
grain, and let IL stand through the
time OF sweating. This is good for
the grain and moreover gives tho
farmer time to start blowing as soon
as harvest is over--a most desirable
thing. as IL enables him TO get his
land In good condition for next year
The single obstacle to this procedure
on many farms is lack Of help. Il
Is fairly certain that next year will
be quite as important from cror
and food standpoint as this year

The War For the Week

BY far the most important and in
tsrestins event Of the week in the
war news, was the Russian often
sive. s
More than 10000 prisoners were
reported to have been taken in a
two days attack, and the Russian
line held against counter attacks.
The drive is headed toward Lemberg
which has been twice taken and lost
by the Russians.
Minister Of War Kerensky led the
attack in person.
The importance Of the Russian at
tack lies more in the fact that it
demonstrates the Russian army is
capable of an attack, than in the
number of prisoners or the amount
of territory taken. It definitely
proves that the Russian army Is
again an effective fighting force. and
IT will compel Germany to cease
withdrawing troops from the east
ern front, If II does not actually force
the restoration of some of these
troops. The Russians are said to be
! well supplied with munitions and
I able to continue the attacks.
Activity In West.
In the west the only activity of
the Allies has been by the British
around Lens. with artillery bonn
bardments farther north.
The British have adopted a new
strategy this year. Instead of pound
ing away for weeks at a time, as
they did on the Somme, they arc
launching fierce attacks on sector
of few miles and continuing but a
day or two. AS soon as one attack is
| carried through another is launched
at some other spot. This gives them
the advantage of surprise as long as
they can keep control of the air.
Attacks of this nature have been
made on bothsides Of Lens, and the
British are in the outskirts of what
is left Of the city.
The reason back Of the German at
tacks at Verdun is hard to fathom.
The attack was terribly costly, and
Is said to have never had q chance
to succeed. Later the attack was
made in the Champagne. and again
was repulsed with heavy loss. There
are two possible explanations. The
I Germans have always said that
France was "bled white. Their Of
hcers may really think that, and may
be searching for the weak point in
the French line.
Again, they may be attacking
merely with a desire to improve the
morale of the German armies. Ger
mans have been trained to the be-
lief that the only successful warfare
is offensive warfare, and for weeks
they have been on the defensive.
Submarine Figures.
Submarine figures for the week were
most favorable. They showed big
increase in the number Of vessels

pean capitals, H. T. Sudduth had
poem called Three Flags in Ore"
which appeared recently I'm The New

for q beautiful sentiment well ex-
pressed. 1t follows:
A strange new sight the world has
seen,
A wonder that all nations thrilled!
Two flags that long estranged have
been,
Their peoples strifes forgotten
stilled,
To breezes flung now side by side
Together float in kindred pride!
Ger mighty dome Of old st. Paul's
The great republics banner flies!
Its glory chant all hearts enthralls,
With En9laf1d's anthem now It vies,
For kindred lands in growing might
At last in one great cause unite.
And on the tall Victoria tower
That looms DER gray Westminster
vast,
AS allies in a fateful hour
Two flags as one their shadows
cast,
And everywhere beneath their folds
One purpose high both peoples holds!
And 10! across "the silver streak"
That leaves with broad Atlantic
tide
OLD Glory floats from topmost peak
OF Eiffel tower the Seine beside,
For Freedoms land remembers yet
Her debt to France and Lafayette
In one great cause three flags float
high,
For new world-freedom they adj

Peace Terms. 49,.
What are we fighting for, you ask
Sometimes I wonder how
Even the very gentlest heart
(Though may God bless all gentle
hearts!)
Can ask that question now.
In Belgium there were gentle hearts
Knew neither hate nor fear.
Now many sleep till Judgment day
A troubled sleep till judgment day,
For bloody is their bier!
But there are blacker wears than
crepe,
And harder beds than graves;
Why, Deaths friend to Belgium
now;
The dead are free in Belgium now;
TheSliving are all slaves
AS you and sit talking here
The children in the street
Are playing games we used to play.
AS gayly as we used to play;
I hear their running feet,
Do you suppose in Belgium now
That any children play? s.
There is a horror in their breasts,
That burns their youth away.

government does not give out the
tonnage sunk. Fifteen vessels one
week, might represent more tonnage
than rs another week.
While the figures fluctuate from
week to week they keep wen within
the danger line.
Victory In the Air.
Meanwhile the attention Of the
United States is turning more and
more to the air. ana men who are
qualified to speak see in a great
fleet Of airplanes, not only the an
swer to the submarine, but the de-
struction of the German fleet and
actual victory on land for the Allies.
orville Wright, inventor Of the
heavier than air machine and tho
first man in the world to ny, says
that 10000 airplanes would end the
war in ten weeks. He points out
that Essen, the site Of the great
Krupp gun works, is only $50 miles

could be destroyed with fleet of
airplanes. The submarine bases
could be bombed, and possibly the
effective of the U-boats COM
pletely overcome. But most i'm
portant Of all. Mr.. Wright points
out, would be the binding Of the
German gunners. The British and
French have maintained a mastery
of the air, but it is not complete and
not unquestioned and not unchal-
lenged by the Germans. Such a
huge feet of American airplanes
thrown into the scale now, would
make it impossible for German
machine to rise from the ground ex-
|cept by stealth. Then" Mr.. Wright
says, "a way would be found to get
through and around the German
lines"
Mr.. Wright's views are backed up
by Brig. Gen. George Squier. who
has been a consulting expert on army
topics almost ever since he grad
uated from West Point in 1887.
Gen. Squier expresses the belief
that the Kiel canal itself can be
made useless, and the German fleet
destroyed in it's home ports.
Internal Troubles.
Rumors of internal troubles in
Germany are growing louder. In
the Saxon diet recently, the govern
ment heard some very frank state
ments. The premier was told quite
plainly that the soldiers had no 10y
atty to the king, but were lighting
out Of loyalty to the fatherland only.
Equal and secret suffrage Is being
demanded both In Saxony and in
Berlin.
Still another country is likely to
line up with the Allies-Mexico. Her
chief value would lie in her oil fields,
and in her agreement to take care of
her own troubles while the United
States was lighting Germany.

A THRILLING sIDEsHow.

The world war is distracting at
tention from most interesting
situation in China, where big events
are transpiring with bewildering
rapidity.
A nation Of 400 100000 people has
shifted from q republic back to a
monarchy, and now threatens to
make another change back to a re-
public, all within a few days. Yet
the information available regarding
this amazing revolution. is meagre
in the extreme, because the news
gathering forces of America and
Europe are centered on the great
conflict.
The revolution appears to have
conferred around the personality of
Chang Hsun, a most picturesque
adventurer. AS dictator Of one of
the northern provinces, he has
maintained a large personal stand
ing army-an army of mercenaries.
He has been absolute ruler of his
province, and has now essayed the
role Of dictator Of China, restoring
the old monarchy Of th@ Manchus.
He Is believed to have had the back
ing Of the japanese, who saw, in a
lettering and wobbly monarchy, ev-
cry opportunity for Japanese ex-
pansion in China.
But apparently the republic was
more firmly established than Chang
believed, and is now virtually a pris-
oner in Picking, along with his
dummy king.
The outcome is still in doubt, al
though Washington appears to be-
lieve the republic will triumph in the
end.
The Japanese mission now headed
toward the United States may be
able to clarity the atmosphere. The
United States, fighting to crush the
greatest military autocracy the
world has ever seen, does not take
kindly to the building CT another
such power from Japanese brains
and the Chinese millions, on the 9TH
err side of the Pacific.

Do You Know
Information on Timely Topics
Compiled by The Forum.

Do you know the reason for these
cute little "swagger'' sticks that of
ficers in uniform sometimes carry
on the streets? Odd little affairs,
sometimes not more than a foot and
half long and more suggestive of
effeminacy than of masculine swag-
ger. The swagger stick, as nearly
as its origin can be traced, came
from England, where, in days OF
piping peace, the soldiers very tight
dress uniform made it almost i'm
possible for him to dispose of his
hands when walking about off duty,
and it apparently became necessary
for him to have something to carry
and twirl. In England the private
soldier carries a swagger stick as
well as the officer. They are incon-
gruous with khaki. But put a tight,
red tunic on man and a gay little
pill box on the side of his head, and
the stick becomes logical enough.
However, swagger sticks are not car
ried in the trenches.

owned the mines. Kerensky re-

the law courts and won for them a
measure OF justice.
In this achievement he became a
national figure, and the same year
was elected to the duna In the
popular chamber of Russia he led a
little group Of radicals. His close
comrade was Cheidze, now leader
in the council of soldiers and work

etration of their vision. A breach
came when war was declared in 1914

bolted Indignantly from the duma,
taking q handful of followers with
him, but Kerensky stood his ground.
In memorable speech he urged his
countrymen to "hurl back the ag-
gressive enemy" declaring that ths
flower Of Russian democracy would
fight for their land, but, he reminded
his hearers the war would have been
impossible had the great ideas of
democracy, freedom, equality and
brotherhood been directing the ac-
tivities of those who control the des-
TIMES Of Russia and other lands"
He finished his speech with this
daring challenge: Having defend
ed your country, free it,"
And so 1t was Kerensky who saw
when the revolution had done it's
work, that radical Russia must con-
tinue the struggle against the for
eign foe in order to retain the victory
1t had won for democracy. And so
1t is Kerensl1y who now, as minister
of war, courageously attempts the
task of recognizing Russia on an
effective fighting basis. He has en-
emies among those radicals who are
less clear of vision, and who accuse
him Of betraying the revolutionary
cause into the hands of the bourge-
oisie. He has enemies among the
conservatives who fear the power
that this young Socialist is gaining
over the masses of the people. But
he faces his enemies in both camps
bravely.
