New York. n. UT is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from its use both by
doctors and laymen, that number Of
physicians in various parts of the country
hav, been asked to explain why they
nrescribe it so extensively, and why it APP
parently produces SO much better results
than were obtained from the old forms of
inorganic iron.

government communication from the

government communication from the
new foreign minister!
So far, good. The transition proceeds
smoothly. But do not let it drag, OF
halt at some point of indecision where
there might seem room for doubt as to
our opinion of the new political order in
Russia. 1t is right TO move without
haste, examining the new governments
prospect of permanence, but there is a
danger of "watchful waiting" being pro
longed until our governments act Of full
recognition would be devoid of grace. Is
the rule of the Duma ministry unstable :
Ambassador Francis says that "the only
menace possible is in Socialistic demon
strations by minority Socialistic groups
An indication of this may be seen in the
movement engineered under the shadow
of Germany at Copenhagen, where al.
legged Russian Socialists have passed reso-
buttons for peace without indemnity or
territorial change. This may not amount
to much.
There is another possible menace, due
to the arrest of the eX-emperor. BY TAX
ing him to Petrograd for confinement
there the government has imprudently
provided at the capital a figure round
which the forces of reaction may rally.
1t might have been better to allow him
retirement on his Crimean estates, far
from the center of national life, where
free national government is only step
ping from the cradle. But, after all, an
attempted restoration is improbable. 1t
would have to be headed by more hero
ic figure. The Russian people look to-
ward a republic. And il they do not 60
all the way just now without halt,
they will not halt short Of a constitl-
tional monarchy, with Michael Alexan
droviteh as the inoffensive occupant of
the throne. On the whole, it seems that
the better government OF Russia is likely
to last, and that we may safely make
with the Duma ministry a treaty of
equal rights for Russian and American
citizens in their travels and commercial
relations, regardless OF their religion or
