Former Ambassador Gerard, on return
ing to the United States from Berlin,
has said much about the purposes of
Germany in the war. but, manifestly,
there has been thorough censorship of his
most intimate knowledge of the internal
conditions in Germany. That knowledge
will be impaired to the officials of the
United States government but win not
be likely to get to the American people
in any extended form until after the
close of the war. However, the American
people may rest assured that as long as
the information has been given to the
government in Washington the nations
acts will be governed by fairly exact
knowledge of conditions.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

At first thought, long sustained revo
luton or an overthrow OF the govern
ment in Russia would appear TO be most
damaging TO the cause of the entente al
lies and, conversely, helpful to the cen.
trail powers, which are fighting against
Russia and allies, because such ire.
mendous event would be likely to mean
the collapse OF the military strength of
the great nation. But that view OF the
situation does not hold in the light OF an
analysis of the situation. A successful
revolution in Russia is not a revolt
against the emperor of Russia merely;
| it is a revolt against monarchy in any
form. against the domination of "di-
vine right family which presumes to
stand in high places against the millions.
anarchy in Russia cannot be confined TO
that single monarchy by any means, but
it is bound to communicate itself to the
dissatisfied elements in all monarchies of
the world, more powerfully perhaps in
those countries which lie contiguous to
Russia. Therefore, the revolutionary
spirit is almost certain to creep into Ger
many, a country woefully distressed by
the demands of an almost superhuman
war and, consequently, country which
would be most fertile field for revolt |
against the existing order. II is likely, |
too, to find even greater strength in the
badly shattered dual monarchy Of Aus
tria Hungary, while in Turkey, the home
of revolt, it would be likely to spread |
like wildfre. Once let loose the dogs of
revolution and the end may not be /
their very foundations, if not actually
oyerthrown. Germany herself is in a
position to feel this earthquake of dis
sension, and Germany and her allies will,
therefore, be harrassed tremendously.
So, revolution in Russia will not be such
IN element of strength TO the central
powers as might have been thought at
irst.
Furthermore. Germany's salvation at
he present moment does not lie in the
possible collapse of the military strength
If a powerful enemy. Her great press
ng problem is the task of feeding the l
cores of millions of people who are Ger {
nan born or German bound by the ext
encies of war. Russia is herself crying ,
mt pitifully fon food; and Russia, even I
hough she should be overrun by the
military forces of Germany, could not
elieve Germany's food shortage. In !
act, the German armies would find Rus =

YOUR PAPER AND THOSE WHO
MAKE 1T,

Twenty years ago to-day The Times
began publication. In the years in
tervening between that date and this it
has grown steadily in every way. 1t has
been successful in a business way and, |
hope, help and benefit to the commu-
nifty. What il is and what it has been
is due entirely to those who make it.
That credit for its success may be given
where it belongs, / give below the names
of its makers. First, in position and in
term of service, comes Dean II. Perry,
who, with the writer constituted the
whole force that issued the first number
20 years ago to-day. He soon became
editor and has continued in that position.
Next in length of service is Philip L..
Ellis, who has been with The Times Is
years and who as makeup" gives the
paper that attractive arrangement that
invites reading William Robertson,
who was the next young man taken on,
and who operates one of the linotypes,
has been with the paper II years. Will
liam Fitzgibbons, of the lad alley" has
been puzzling out poor penmanship for
Is years. George Maker, who came to
The Times 10 years ago as hand com
positor, to-day has charge of its battery
Of linotypes and sees to it that there is
no hitch getting the days news in type,
and on time. Douglas Clark, head of the |
pressroom has been with the paper IL
years. William Mcdonald, another lad
alley" man and known to all local ad- |
vertisers who are late with copy, has
been with the paper 10 years. Close on
his heels in length of service is Alfred /
Maker. who began as a newsboy 10 years
ago, but now operates one Of the papers
linotypes. Charles j. Pillsbury has been
"ad man" eight years. Athol Bell, re-
porter, and known to everyone, has seen
seven years service. Miss Ethel Newton,
more familiar to women readers as
Dorothy Dexter" has been telling you
how to remove stains, etc, for seven
years. Henry Cayia, as stereotyper and
assistant in the pressroom, has been with
the paper seven years. Alex. Walker,
who so persistently reminds you that
bill has not been paid, has been with the
paper five years, and Sidney Newcomb,
the nearest we have to devil" four
years, while Wallace Dutton, as reporter, :
has been with The Times year. These
are the people who have faithfully and
striven to give you a paper
that contained in brief all the i'm
portant general, state and local news, in
attractive form, attractively arranged,
.leanly and clearly printed, and gotten
10 you regularly and promptly every l
weekday of the year. To them belongs d
he credit for your having SO good a pa I
