great number Of the force. estimated
about $4,000. however, were compelled
to fight their way across Siberia.
They defeated a force made up of
Red GUARDS and German prisoners
Mt Irkutsk and obtained a supply of
arms and munitions. They continued
eastward, disarmlng the Red Guard
and taking control Of the Siberian
railway. They have found little OPP
position in eastern Siberia. The re-
ports are to the effect that they were
strongly supported by the nnti-Bol-
shevists and at several places urged
to take control Of the situation.
The Czecho- Slovaks have been ma
terially increased in strength in their
eastern progress. They have added
to their number groups of their own
race among the German prisoners and
they have found adherents among the
Russian people. The Jill Shimpo says

KHoNIN, Is in control of the Czecho-
SlOvnk troops at vladivostok. Gen
eral DIETRICHs was considered one
Of the ablest officers of the former re-
gime. AS director of military oper-
atlons he planned the successful Of
fensive against the Austrians in Ga.
licla In 1915. He has been recognized
rs having strong defenders among the
opponents Of the present Bolshevist
government and as a man likely to
gain their support.
The CZechO- Slovaks have heretofore
disclaimed any intention Of taking
over the administration, declaring
that their intention vas only to reach
France. The reasons for the change
In this policy are n desire to ~forestnll
the occupation Of the country by the
Germans and to prevent supplies
reaching the Central Powers In this
way. Besides forming n definite cen
ire for the opponents of the Bolshevist
rule the Czecho- Slovaks have secured
the safety Of the military stores at
V~lndivostok and have made much less
difficult any attempt at intervention or
any efforts at the restoration Of order
and stability of government.
The question of decisive action by
the Allies regarding Russia has not
yet been settled. Japan, which was
ut first the most urgent in demands
for a temporary occupation of Vladi-
vostok, is now apparently divided
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of the move.
1t Is evident that she will not act In
the matter unless she has the approval
of all the Allied nations. The pres
ent favorable situation, which has
been created by the unprompted ac-
tivlties Of the Czecho-S lovnks. has
offered an opportunity for the econ.
sideration of the question, and &C
cording to a Washington despatch
has formed the basis of an earnest
conference among the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the Entente Powers"
The impression evidently Is that
while the Czecho-Slovnks have un.
aided rendered q valuable service to
the Entente Powers, 1t IL n question
whether unsupported they will he able
to hold these advantageous gains.

A boy without a memory cannot be
educated. A man without a memory
needs some one to look after him
or he will go on repeating his mis-
takes. because he is always forgetting
what he needs to remember. and es-
pecially tho one thing he ought always
to remember; namely, that It is not
the man who makes a mistake but the
man who repeats his mistakes who Is
! known for a fool. And a nation with
out a memory is in the same deplor-
able plight. To remember we'll the
things that ought to be remembered
and to profit by them is the rule for
a safe. strong and wise life for every
man and for every nation.
The past is not something dead and
gone. Whether men care to have
anything to do with 1t or not 1t re-
mains a fact that the past has a great
deal to do with us. Our parents and

cally dead and gone, but without them
we would not have been what we are.
and indeed would not be here tonight.
Whatever has happened is a fact as
Inevitable as what now happens or as
what will happen. The past is the
parent. the producing cause of the
present. Science has taught us by a
thousand proofs that the universe is
what 1t Is because of what it was and
that men are what they are now be-
caues Of what men were before. And
the big book Of history, which is the
worlds memory, points the one
moral OF all human tales in reveal
ing the truth that no matter what else
has changed the human heart is still
swayed by the same passions as ever.
To learn well this lesson and never
to forget 1t in the conduct of life, per-
scnal and national. is the one founda-
ton for a sane education.
And now. when the world seems
turned upside down, men need to re-
member these elementary and ele-
mental unchanging realities. For there
are voices Of confusion telling us that
everything is changing. saying that
little II anything Of what we have
held as true can be depended on for
the future n bidding us clutch at
this or that panacea as the only thin
to cure u Ills. The past. they
say. has little to teach us; for we are
Americans OF the twentieth century
and should promptly cut loose from
bygone times. methods and ideas and
set up a brand new national culture
OF u own. In their rejection OF
what they call tradition they are
forgetting something: they are for
getting that the value Of anything
does not depend on whether it is old
or new but on whether it is false or
true.
They are proposing TO run American
education not on a record nj on n
prospectus. They are in fact telling
us to lose u memories and 10 for
get what we shall forget at our peril:
namely. that the past has our main
lesson to teach us and that the mar
who does not see behind the lurid
binding light OF this world war its
deep lying causes for decades and
generations past. and or back to the
origins. cannot understand why this
war happened nor how to prevent it;
happening again. nor wen what It is
that is now happening. For he who
does not remember what has gone

what is happening now or of forecast.

HERTLING'S SPEECH NOT HONEST

London, Feb. 27.-The London even

little hope of peace in Count Won Hert-

Hertling's present duty is to supply
"camoufage" behind which the real
sovereign power of Germany's great
military staff carries on it's operations.

Paris, Tuesday.-The concensus of

German people abroad that military
officials do not rule Germany.
