LEADERSHIP THE NEED.

certain articles intended for Russia. 1t
would, of course, be mere waste to
send the instrumentalities of civiliza-
ton into a region OF chaos. That is
not what the Russian. people need, at
least until stable government Is re-
stored. What Russia needs now is
leadership, is advice and counsel such
as Will help to bring about order and
establish again the reign of law The
time is soon coming when these peopls
will seek refuge from this turmoil
and suffering. That time has perhaps
already arrived. for under the asinine
stupidity of the censorship we are not
getting all the facts from Russia.
A commission composed of able
men, men in sympathy with what the
Russian people wish to accomplish,
but experienced and wise enough to
direct their movement along practical
lines would at this particular time. it
seems to me, be of great help. This
is not reflecting upon the commission

the firm belief of the schools coach

consideration to that possibility.
Glarksburg can not offer opposition,

Moore, can be defeated on a neutral

thing as fast as Fairmont; Wheeling

forts have been farcial all season;
lEllsins has no team of anything near
championship calibre, and it will be
these teams that Fairmont would have
to fight for the championship.
Fairmont is primed this year for
state honors Every year so far she
has gone TO the finals and year before

now for fight that will place her al
