We must not return any land we haze
conquered"
Does that sound ike protest from
a nation hemmed in by enemies who
have fallen upon it with the sword fox
the purpose of destroying it? Does it
not sound more like the sentiment nat
uraliy to be expected in an arbitrary
and truculent emperor possessed of al
most autocratic power, who has kept
all Europe in a state Of apprehension
for years by his frequent and savage
rafting Of the saber?
And are the people of Germany so
blinded by the blindness of the royalty
which have for generations been shap-
ing them to its own ambitious ends,
that they still cannot see the meaning
of this war when representatives of the
iunkerism enthroned in Berlin speak
in their own parliament as plainly as
the leader Of the powerful agrarians
has?-Cleveland Leader.

THURSDAY, MAY II 1917

The reports that come out OF Russia
now are not encouraging as to the sta.
bility of the new Government or as TO
Russia's continued participation in the
war. The revolution is not yet a story
that is told and the Russian republic
has not yet found itself.
1t would lave been miracle If ID
had been otherwise. IL WAS not 10 be
believed that a people for centuries
trodden under the foot Of depotism not
only should free themselves in twink
ling, but should be able 10 use their
freedom to set up at once among them
selves democratic government that
should command the elements Of uEl
versal acceptance and Of permanency.
Such revolutions do not work in that
way, and the surprise has been gcner-
al that there has not been much more
turmoil among the newly liberated
Russians than there has been. Free
dom suddenly falling into the hands Of
peoples unaccustJmed TO use il is q
twoedged sword without haft. Ii
will be many day before 10 viii be
safe TO trust 10 the Russians alb lily to
use that sword without injury TO Dhem-
selves.
Moreover, one Of the most difficult
uses to make Of new sword VI freedom
is to WELD it IN foreign war. There
is no time when a democracy is less q
democracy than when 10 organizes and
wages war In our own democracy TO.
day 1t is necessary, in order TO make
effective war, to resort TO undemOcrat-
ic measures which would never Ue
countenanced under other conditions
1t is too much to expect that any new
republic in Russia viii be willing at
once to return TO the methods of auto.
cracy without which it VIII be jmpJs
slble TO make Russia an effective force
in the war against Germany
Nor, 50 far as the indications show,
do the commonalty of Russia want war
With them war heretofore has been a
thing in which they had no say ltI
has been a thing OF kings. and their
part in it has only been to be herded
and driven TO slaughter for the glOrih
cation Of their masters. They are
sick Of war and they long to turn
among themselves to their new free |
dom, which they know 50 little as yet
how TO use.
A separate peace with Russia now S
what Berlin is playing for Win that
accomplished great inlet of supplies
for Germany would be opened; the
German forces on the eastern front
would be released for concentration in
the west; Austria could direct her fail
strength against Italy, and the war
could be prolonged by the Central
Powers much longer than they woulG
be able to hold ouJ with Russia an ac-
tive antagonist.
The situation is fun Of significance
not cheering 10 the enemies Of The
Central Powers.
