Great Men Sometimes Dc FOOLISH
Things
Bishop Kilgo has got himself into
a great tangle about some foolish
pranks of the Trinity class of 1917.
Great men can sometimes do more
foolish things in short time than a

Or is it because they think them

clared that IN his opinion the world

six months
"The war viii have to terminate
within half a year because Of the demo-
cratic movement sweeping over the
world" said Mr. Morganthau. "If we
can free the world of certain elements
and show the people how they can
shake the shackles off, this war will not
have been in vain. America has a big
task TO perform, but will perform it. We
can now feel as we did not feel before
that peace is on the way and will soon,
very socn. be here
Mr.. Morgenthau said that the people
of Turkey were welcoming America 5
entry into the war. for the reason that
il will aid them in securing a more
democratic form of government. The
former ambassador declared that II
would not be anticipating too much to
expect Syria and Armenia 10 become

ernment they may be urder. Mr.. Nor
genthau appealed 70 the American pub
lie 70 come TO the immediate aid OF
the inhabitants Of those countries and
started a campaign 10 secure $4,000,
coo.
You will need at least that amount,
said Mr. Morgenthau. Let US start
now in raising it. The American peo-
ple will respond. Nothing Is too heavy
for the United States TO bear, and the
country will answer our appeal 70 pre-

there will be no great trouble 10 get

Danger Of Separate
Peace Now Ended
By ISAAC Don LEVINE

Russia appears TO have weathered
the worst crisis since the overthrow
Of Czarism month ago. The news
from Petrograd means that the fanati-
cal extremists have been defeated b.
an overwhelming majority at the Ma
tional Congress Of Workmen and Sol
der Deputies.
Since the revolution the Petrogrs
Council Of Workmen and Soldier Depu-
ties held the world IN anxious sus-
pense. II assumed the authority Of a
separate government, jeopardizlng the
Provisional Governments efforts tow
ard reorganization and reconstructlon.
II dictated internal and foreign poll
cles. T. treated ependently with the
Kalser's Socialist ENJOYS for sepa-
rate peace. In short, II acted IN the
role Of q gunmsn holding up a man
in perilous position.
The situation was rapidly reaching
a critical point. Civil war seemed 20
threaten the newest democracy. In fact.
two DAYS ago the soldiers supporting
the Provisional Government drove the
idle workers Of Petrograds mGnIton
factories 10 work a. the point Of their
bayonets.
The army and tho nation were unan-
.nous in their determination 70 prose
cute the war against Prussisnism. Only
several thousand rabid extremists, most
Of whom are located in Petrograd, were
for an understanding with Germany.
Their organ Of expression was the
Council Of Deputies.
But the Petrograd Council was not a
national body, although il assumed the
authority Of one. All the cities Of the
country have soldier and workmen
councils. The voices Of the latter had
not been heard up 10 yesttrday. Mod
crate Russia. therefore. held her breath
when . national congress Of these
councils met for the frst time.
As result Of the congress the Petro-
grad extremists were drowned IN the
chorus Of the national body which sup
ported the Provisional Government
thus ending for the present, AZ teast
any peril OF separate peace.

Pacifist Speakers
Hooted Down In
Russian Congress

Petrograd. April l4.-The pacifst
clement is distinctly in the minority
IN the Congress Of District Councils
Of Workuen's and Soldiers Delegates,
now in session here. The discussions
show two distinct currents of opinion.
The first, which appears to be sup
ported by an overwhelming majority,
is favorable 20 vigorous prosecution Of
the war and support Of the Provision
al Government
The second group. composed chiefly
Of advanced Socialists. favors not only
renunciation Of all projects Of annex
alton and Of indemnitics, but also steps
looking TO an early conclusion Of
peace This group also is inviting the
congress to express It's distrust of tic
Provisional Government.
During tho discussion of the motion
telegraphed by NJ. Zeretelli, a member
Of the second Duma. who Is now on
his way to Pctrograd from exile. all
amendments proposed by the second
group were rejected by a large majcr-
ity. Several paciiists attempted 10
speak against the resolution. which.
while supporting the principle of ma
tionallsm. urged vigorous prosecution
Of the war aud appealed to workmen
to labor unremittingIy in maintaining
supplies Of the army. The pacifists
were hooted down.
An amendment offered by a soldier
member, urging the necessity of un-
dertaking immediately active opera
tions at tho front. was accepted by a
large majority, and when the final vote
was taken the opposition was able TO
muster no greater strength.

from the front. issues the following
warning:
"a number Of Austrian officers and
soldiers who deserted declare the
