PREDICT RUSSIA WILL STICK.
Muscovite Officials Here Think Allies

WASHINGTON. Dee. Russian Of
tcials here do not believe Germany will
succeed in her evident intention to re-
move Russia from the list Of her enc
mics if energetic steps are taken by
the interallied war council, now as
scmblcd in Paris. A well-informed
Russian IN the closest touch with the
International situation so declared to-
day.

" More good can be accomplished by
the allies by addressing the people OF
Russia in reason, III persuasion, than
by declaring that Russia, through the
aspiration of her people TO realize their
freedom, have placed themselves be
yond the pale Of civilization. The lat
ter declaration would be resented. Let
them, rather, seek to convince the
Russian people while awaiting the res
toration of a strong, intelligent govern
ment, that the negotiation of an arms
tice would tend to defeat the very
ends the Maximalists are eldeavor
ing To bring about. The allies nave
been defeated in Russia, not 50 mucl

propaganda.

what they are unable to procure at

1t is desired that each person who
donates jam, preserves, jell, ETC..
shall place his name on a label
pasted on the container so that the
boys may know those at home who
are interested in them.
The contain ers should not have an
open top and should be of such a
nature that with careful packing
they will go through to Rockford
without injury.
The packages at the several points
will be packed by expert packers
and the goods will be less liable to
injury than if sent in smaller par
cells. The articles to be sent from
