Help the Army Y. M. C. A.

There are thousands of American boys
in France today. Many Of them have inc
place to go except to the dance halls and
the win shops. American soldiers are
by far the best paid fighting men in the
world, n consequently the dance halls
and the wine shops are especially arranged
for their entertainment.
The Army Y. M. c.. A. has undertaken a
wonderful work for these boys. 1t pro.
poses to build huts for them at every train.
ing camp and behind every fighting line
in France, providing them places Of rest
and wholesome recreation. To do his and
to carry out all other war work plans the
Army Y. M. @. A. needs a fund Of $50.
600, 900, n a drive for this money opened
throughout the United States yesterday
The drive will continue all this week. The
dollars you contribute will be used to keep
the American boys on the square road
They will be used to return them to their
homes as strong and vigorous as they
left. They will be employed to battle vice
and misery. 1t is a splendid opportunity
to do your ''bit" for your fighting men.

Your Part!

AS the nation enters the huge CAM
paign of the Army Y. M. c.. A. for $685.
600, 900 to conduct its work for a period
of nine months, people are beginning to
realize as never before the kind of work
that organization is actually doing in the
army Of the United States and all the
allied armies in Europe.
There is no single organization that
gives such a variety of necessary help
as the Army Y. M. C. A. 1t gives a
shelter that only the boys who have en-
joyed those comfortable 'huts" can really
appreciate. 1t not only gives food and
recreation, but ii gives what every woman
will a her son, husband or sweetheart
to have, and what every father will want
his boy to have; a certain intangible
feeling of home.
They will be cold, those men you love;
the Army Y. M. C. A. will warm them and
feed them. They will perhaps be de-
pressed; the Army Y. M. G. A. will cheer
them. Think of the Army Y. M. C. A.
as serving for you, as giving these boys
of yours all you would give them with
your own hands. 1t can not be done with
out money. And those who are not max
ing emotional sacrifices by sending men
to the front ought to give the more be-
cause they are spared this sad cost.
Think of our boys laboring up out Of
the trenches after three hard days during
which they could not have hot food, dared
not even smoke for fear of drawing the
enemy's fire, could only sit still under
bombardment. Do you want them to be
met at the end of the communication
trench with a Y. M. G. A. field kitchen?,
They will if you will give enough. If you
don't they will march miles to billets,
wet, dispirited, before they can have any
thing hot.
1t is up to everyone to ~give-give even
until it hurts. If you have not already
subscribed your response should be with
the district war work council before Wed
nesday evening Of this week. Col. Twitch-
ell, chairman of the council, does not wish
this campaign long drawn out, and If
you see the need and do your part early,
the whole budget will be completed early.

"A Ray of Sunshine

In view of the Italian drive and the
tenacity displayed on the western front
it is hard to believe that the great Prus.
sian military machine is going to pieces,
but this, nevertheless, is the declaration
of Frank H. Simon, the most noted wal
analyst of today. He turns a ray OF
sunshine OF the war situation with the fol
lowing statement:
Germany is planning a peace campaign
this winter. She hopes to be able to as
sert that the war has become a deadlock
and that her ines cannot be pierced
although at the cost Of great losses they
may be bent back here and there.
'"The truth is otherwise. Germany will
have to retreat in the spring, if she es-
capes the necessity this autumn, because
of the onset of bad weather. When she
retreats the world will perceive that she
has lost the war. There VIII be no fur
Their possibility of concealing the fact, be-
cause the retreat will be SO considerable.
But for the winter, II she can hold on,
Germany will have a show OF an argu-
ment for her assertion that the war is a
hopeless deadlock and a useless slaughter
that can end only in stalemate. Actually
her appeal will be made to the pacifists,
the weakened and the disloyal in all
countries fighting her"

Road Expenditures Last
Year Totaled $288, 000, 600
(Engineering News Record)

Cash expenditures on the rural roads
and bridges in the United States in 1915
amounted to $272, 634,424, according to
figures published by the division of econ.
omics, United States Office of Public
Roads and Engineering. To this should
be added the value of the statute and
convict labor, which cannot be fixed with
any great degree of accuracy, but prob
ably amounted to not less than $15,000,-
900, thus making the grand total expendi-
ture for the year s2SS, 900, 900. This total
is made vi of the actual expenditure for
such items as labor, materials, supervi-
sion, management and administration d.
rectly connected with the construction,
Improvement and upkeep of our public
roads and bridges.
This, however, does not represent the
total outlay by the states and communi-
ties because of their rural public roads.
AT present there are outstanding more
than $500, 900, 900 of road and bridge bonds
and long term warrants, maturing at the
rate of about $2O.OOO,OOO per year and re-
quiring about an equal amount for the
payment Of interest charges.

The Russian Situation

What has happened in Russia should
serve to dispel the last illusion that may
exist anywhere among the Allies as to the
possibility of effective cooperation with
Russia in the present war, says the New
York Tribune. There has probably beer
no chance of a Russian contribution since
last June, when Russian soldiers ran away
from the field of victory in Galicia, shout
ing the battle cry of anarchy as they fled
1t is not, perhaps, surprising that the
Russian people, with their domestic griey
ances, with the internal abuses and evils
which surround them, should fix their a.
tention upon the home problem and should
regard any external circumstance as OF
minor Importance. Perhaps history will
judge those Russians right who believe
that the salvation of the Russian revolu.
ton is more important for Russia than
the defeat of the German autocracy.
The time is not one, therefore, to indulge
in recrimination. 1t is not the, moment
to accuse Russians of betraying a com.
mon cause, because the cause as such was
never adopted by the Russian people and
the people have repudiated the govern
ment which was allied with the nations
fighting Germany. The best and worst
that one can say of Russia is that she
has chosen her own pathway-whether
with supreme wisdom or ultimate madness
no one can foretell.
IN the other hand, there should be an
end to all illusion. Russia is out of the
war. Russia has been to all intents and
purposes out of the war since the revo-
luton achieved the disorganization of the
armies and the collapse in Galicia termi-
mated serious hostilities on the eastern
front. Failure to appreciate this fact has
led to the Italian disaster. Italy has been
overwhelmed by troops withdrawn from
the Russian front, either with or without
the connivance Of those who control Rus
sian affairs. The worst that could happen
from a Russian detection happened when
Cadorna's northern army was crushed
along the Isonzo. The price Of the Rus
sian desertion is being paid in the Vene-
tian plain. and this is the measure Of the
Allies reverse.
1t remains now for those Allies who are
still united In a common purpose to recog-
nize the Russian deseftion as a fact; to
cease to waste money and supplies upon
Russian armies which will not fight and
Russian population which will not work.
Henceforth there is but one course to fol-
low, and that is the course which excludes
Russia from all calculations on the mill.

Germany's Food Economy

If Germany had not practiced food econ
omy from the beginning OF this war she
would undoubtedly today be on her knees
asking for peace terms. The extraordinary
lily efficient food conservation work of the
government, aided by the acquiescence

kept our enemy in the field and enabled
it to deliver successive blows against the
