WHY NOT A NoN.PARTY WARP

Are statesmen who happen to be Re
publicans in politics TO be entirely ig'
nored by President Wilson in the present
crisis in national affairsG Is this to be O
Democratic war aloneY Or are the Re
publicans to be asked to contribute a
large share of the sinews of war and to
be allowed no voice whatever in the
councils which direct the nations des-
TIMES through most trying period!
If it is to be war of the whole ma
ton, and not OF any particular section of
the nation, President Wilson should lose
no time in calling in members of the Re-
publican party to participate in the de-
alterations incident to preparation.
There is no doubt that there are just as
staunch patriots in the Republican party
as there are in the Democratic party and
they are just as ready to lend their CO.
operation whether it be in giving eoun
sci or in actual participation in warfare.
Moreover, if the threatened war should
be prolonged for a great period it will be
necessary to form coalition government
anyway, just as has been done in a num-
Der of cases among the European nations
engaged in war, President Wilson should
recognize that possibility, too, and break
down his hide bound partisanship at once
in order to enlist the complete and most
hearty support of the nation. 1t is not
right to adhere to partisanship in his
own acts when he is appealing to the ma
ton to be broad minded and patriotic.

HELP RUSSIA INDUSTRIALLY.
But Germany Exercised Poor Influence
Politically.

| New York, March 2S.-"The crisis
which has occurred in Russia is not only
the most dramatic event Of the great
war but is undoubtedly one of the most
far reaching consequences to Russia and
to the future OF the continent of Eu-
rope" said Hon. Edward Ewing Pratt,
chief of the bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce, department of commerce,
before the American Russian Chamber of
Commerce at a luncheon in Hotel Bit
more to-day. Great as is the signifi-
canoe OF this change for Russia and her
allies, it has, believe, even greater sig
nifcance for the United States.
This is not a revolution in the com
monty accepted meaning OF the term,
but rather the comparatively peaceful
suppression of an inefficient form of gov
eminent by the succession Of a highly
organized and efficient form of govern
ment. We need not look, therefore, to
any reign of terrorism and destruction.
On the other hand, we may expect
very rational and much more efficient
form oil government, a government which
win prosecute the work more effectively
than its predecessors. Those OF us who
are interested in the trade relations be-
tween the United States and Russia see
in the promised reforms in Russia the
clearing away of the one obstacle to the
freest and frankest exchange OF interna
tional relations between the two coun
tries.
CHOSE of us who are interested in
further developing the trade Of the Unit
ed States with Russia should also keep
clearly in mind, without any miscon
eeptions the part which Germany has
played in the development of CONNER
cial Russia and the part that Germany
is likely to play in the commercial de-
velopment of Russia. In spite of her I'M
fortunate influence on the political in
stitutions OF Russia, Germany was per
forming a legitimate and economic func
tion in that country, as evidenced by the
fact that practically all the successful
in Russia were, prior to the
war, under Gerr n control. There is
reason to believ, that Germany may
play an important part in the economic
development of Russia after the war be- |
cause Germany will be in a position to
offer a legitimate service to that coun- |
try There is no doubt however, that |
the Germans had failed to win the sym 7
pathy of the Russian people with whom
they had been trading for many years
And | doubt if, under the circumstances

CURRENT COMMENT
Enlist.

/ Whatever may be said of the army
there has never been much doubt about
the American navy. Whenever called
on, the first line of defense has given
excellent account of itself Further, il
has invariably saved the day, sometimes
under severe odds.
Now the president has called for re-
cruits to man the ships of our first line
up to 1000 enlisted men. They arc
urgently needed and there seems to be
no doubt about their being slated for
active service.
We are at war with Germany. There
is no use in denying the fact or seek
ing to evade its significance, so the first
appeal would come as matter of pure
patriotism.
If we are TO arm merchant vessels or
provide them with conveys; if we are
to maintain our prestige as a great ma
ton; if we are to demand and hold the
freedom of the seas, we must man every
vessel in our navy and as many more as
may be commissioned.
The navy appeals particularly to
young men, not only as noble, patriotic
service, but as career which promises
advancement, experience and education.
There is no better practical school than
the navy and no government service
which gives better opportunity for pro
motion and pay"
Nothing more emphasizes the peculiar
advantages of service in the American
navy than the personnel OF the "men be-
hind the guns" Gun for gun and ton
for ton, the American ships outrank the
best of other nations on account of the
men aboard them.
Young man, enlist. Your country
needs Rutland Herald.

The French government took very
favorable opportunity to float new war
loan, the French and British having just
recovered approximately 1000 square
miles of French territory, which had been
held in bondage by the Germans for more
than two years. The recovery of this
territory must have aroused the enthu-
siasm of the French people to high
pitch, in consequence of which they
would be eager to extend support to the
government, even more eager than they
have been ever since the outbreak of the
war. As the result of this war, new
France is rising.

Those Rutland high school youths who
are seeking to form a military company
are, we hope guided by deep-minded pa
triotism rather than by the mere whirl
of excitement of the moment. In case
they should form a military company
they could serve to good advantage as a
home guard in the event of declaration
of war between the United States and
Germany. All the other countries at war
are drilling their youth, even those of
more tender age than the Rutlanders, to
the rigors of military regime in order
TO prepare them to defend their coun-
tries II the United States should get
into prolonged war il might be neees-
sary to adopt a similar policy. Hence
the Rutland high school youths would be
merely somewhat ahead of the plan and
would have the benefit of that early
training.

Don't Strike Softly.

A state of war between Germany and
the United States already prevails. The
! declaration to that effect by Congress
when it assemblies will only serve to
give legal status to a condition now ex-
| stent.
Since we are, very much against our
wishes, and despite a patient endurance
of outrage unexampled in world history,
at war. our first and most infexible de-
cision must be to wage that war while
| it lasts with every ounce of energy, re-
sourcefulness and vigor which we can
command
The genius of our people is peaceful.
We seek no expansion at the expense Of
other peoples. We harbor no aggressive
designs. We desire only to be left to
pursue peaceably and without injury to
others, our proper and legitimate aspira-
tons. But when, despite the care we
exercise to avoid infringement of Others
rights, notwithstanding the pacific quail
ity of our ambitions, war is forced upon
us by the brutal aggression OF a foreign
power, then we must make such an enc
my feel the full weight of our righteous
and just anger. We have as a nation
made our peaceful purposes and DISPOSE
ton clear, now we must make no less
clear and unmistakable the sure penalty
of brutal violations of our rights.
We must enter the war in no trifiing
spirit. We must Danish the oomplacent
thought that we can become a partici-
pant in the struggle only in a small and
limited degree. We must not go into
this contest half -heartedly, thinking we
can satisfy the requirements by enlsrg
ing our financial credits with the entente
powers, by rebuilding our expectation OF
munitions and supplies to the nations
which are doing the actual fighting, by
aiding in Kidding the seas of the subma
rine peril, by guarding our own coasts.
Once engaged, both national prestige and
prudent regard for possible eventuslities
demand that we throw into the task the
maximum of effort of which this great
nation is capable.
England made the mistake early in
the war of thinking her chief, almost
sole, contribution to the war power OF
the entente would be her naval arm. She
had to learn in bitterness and defeat
that her aid on land was quite as vital.
Let Us hope America will make no sucn
error We are about to enter the lists

has ever known. Much as we may hope !
