WHY RUSSIA QUIT.

Russia is not only a victim of Ger man propaganda-it is also victim of near starvation. A nation without sufficient food in sight for the winter cannot be enthusiastic about fighting.
 Fate has declared that Russia is cut off from the rest of her allies except Japan, and connected with the latter only by single-track railroad. The Black Sea has been closed since the beginning of the war-so has the Bal tic. Her northern coast is ice-locked most of the year.
 The disintegration of Russia from an economic standpoint required three years, but is effective.
 It was Napoleon who said an army fights on it's stomach-and Russia has an empty stomach.

OUR FIRST MILLION IN FRANCE.

Americans are asking as to when the first million of men will be in France. There is scarcely one among us but who thinks that next summer is about the time when this number should be overseas.
 Officials in Washington seem in- cllned to think that this will not be possible at that time. Some of them have been quoted indirectly as saying that there will not be a million Amer jeans in France before the winter of 1918 because of the exceeding demands ,ade Tor equipment and maintenance supplies.
 This is something the average per- son easily overlooks. For every ad- ditional soldier at the front it will re- quire just that much additional sup plies to continue flowing in his di- rection constantly. There can be no let-up in supplies or ammunition. And at the same time we are supplying and munitioning the allied armies and feeding their populations at home. X Our shipping program is being speeded up to terrific dimensions, our armies are being trained in score of

EIGHT ARE KILLED AND MANY WOUNDED
 IN AN EXPLOSION

Pittsburgh, Dec. 5.-Eight men were killed, two are missing and more than 25 were injured, many of them serious ly. late today by an explosion that wrecked the TINT" plant of the Aetna Chemical company at Heidelberg, a suburb. The explosion did damage, estimated at $25O,O0O to the plant, and shattered windows in factories and homes for a radius of nearly two miles. All of the dead and injured were employees of the company.
 The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Many of those in- jured owe their lives to prompt medi- cal aid, which was summoned by Grace Lyons, a telephone operator who re- mained at her switchboard in the rear of the wrecked plant, and telephoned hospitals and physicians.

cantonments. And after all, the
 Washington opinion that we won't have million across the pond before next winter may be erroneous. We shouldn't run off at a tangent and think we can have our first million overseas early next spring; but if we hew line between the over-optimistic and the zealously- -pessimistic it might happen that we will come to the con clusion that our first million will be across the pond by the middle of next summer-just in time for the red hot fighting that usually comes with the beginning of fall.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE-THE
 CRITIC.

Lord Northcliffe has comparatively an easy time-as a critic.
 He placed Lloyd George into power and lately bitterly attacked the pre- mier. At the same time Northcliffe spurned a cabinet post.
 Chances are that if Lord Northcliffe were put in place of responsibility connected with the guiding of nations mankind and humanity, he would be as previous to criticism as the men he now so relentlessly criticises.
