In all of the western district there is not factory. and farmers pelled to import all of their needs that they cannot produce
 In the eight months ending March 1, 1917, the United States exported $S747S worth of goods to Western Siberia, an ncerase of 50 per the record of the same period the preceding year
 In the last ten years 300000O Russians have settled on Siberian lands and become producers and in the majority of cases have prospered greatly With the coming of in Europe there is to be tre- mendous movement to the cheap and rich lands of the Siberian wilderness. like that to the Dakoas thirty years ago

One of them the commander of the British forces in the feld France who for the first time recognized publicly that there such line and said his troops were astride of it. The other Lloyd George, who said the Hindenburg line the most characteristic of all German institutions He spoke of the linden burg line drawn French soil, of the Hindenburg line drawn around British Isles and of the linden burg line drawn around the United States.
 He spoke also of the line symbol Of the lines which the German military caste has sought to draw for all peoples, lines which could not be crossed ex- cept peril of the most highly organized military machine the world has
 It is the business of America to help in rubbing that line, alone in France. but from the face of civilization There is longer any danger that Russia will emulate the Hindenburg idea, i'm though the potentalities of that country are. Russia has got rid of the governmental ideals which make Hindenburg lines possible and only the Prusslan overlordship in Germany remains as source of danger.
 For many years this country escaped 1nterfer- renee. but the line has been drawn for now. The alternative to it's destruction submission, not on ly for the time of the but throughout the dura- tion of German military obsolutism.
