ed to surrender, and then he vanished.
We may hear of him again, or he may
become, as Lord Kitchener has, a
figure about whom will grow legend.
1t is still possible that in some region
of Russia he may emerge the leader
of a new movement. In land where
nothing is certain but surprise, any
thing may happen. But the lesson of
Kerensky's extraordinary career
should not be missed. We need it in
America no less than it is needed in
other lands. This man of eloquence
and imagination and real courage fail
ed at the point where vision should
have passed into action. He saw clear
ly what should be done; he declared it
bravely; but he could not translate
the dream and the definition into
deeds. He seemed always to be await
ing a better moment. He wanted, to
persuade every man to act with him
before acting at all.-Chicago Post

WILL RUSSIA GO OVER?

Who knows Russia?
Do you?
Neither do we.
Russia is too big-too heterogeneous-too far
away for us to understand her.
Will Russia unite?
Not in our day and age.
Will Russia retain the Bolsheviki?
We do not think So
Will Russia become Germanized?
Very likely SO we are much afraid.
The grave possibility exists that German
brains, diplomacy, cunning and organization will
bend the Russians to their will Russia is huge
but unlettered Russia has deep throbbing
primitive heart alight with kindness but essen
TALLY savage. Russia is paradox of inspira-
ton, sublime ideals, treachery and bloodshed
Magnificent but base-strong but weak-a giant
III the chains of ignorance and superstition
The Russians were not able for centuries to
throw off their feudal chains. Will they be able
now to strip the silken but much stronger bonds
of Prussanism? Germany dreams of an empire
reaching from the North sea to the Pacific ocean,
Nothing is impossible under the war lords plan
England of course must be broken Too long has
she dominated the sea lanes and too long has she
had the worlds commerce fatting her arteries
France is doomed. France must be reduced to
a condition Of helplessness if not vassalage The
United States? The kaiser laughs at us. Too
weak to even partially prepare for the dangers
we knew were in sight. Too sentimental to
stamp out rattlesnakeism Too self conferred to
protect our citizens on the high seas or in for
eign lands. United in name only-this is, or has
been, Germany's viewpoint
What has this to do with Russia? A great
deal. Russia is the weak link in the strong chain
OF big nations If Russia can be dominated ex-
plotted and eventually armed, the kaiser can con-
troll the world. Prussianism will be entrenched
if not forever at least for the lengthy period
before the world currents and underlying process
es set forward new movements. This may be
fifty years-it may be centuries.

FAIL IN

We thought that reason had mastered
men,
That peace Of the world was lord,
That never the roll of drum again
Should quicken the thirsty sword );
But our bubble broke with a sudden
blow.
And we heard, like the trumpet's din
That leveled the walls of Jericho,
The old, stern cry-'Fall in"
We were numb amazed, we were sick
and dazed
With horror past belief;
Silent we stood while Belgium blazed
In her martyrs glory of grief;
Then it came so near that we needs
must hear,
For the cry Of our murdered kin
Drove in our heart like a searching
spear,
The call Of the hour-"Fall I'M"
Not in the flush of a barren thrill
Do we come to our deed at last.
We have weighed our will, we must
do our will,
For the doubling time is past,
We have faced our soul in the sleepless
night,
And what shall we fear but sin?
Not for love Of the fight, but for love
of the right,
In the name Of God-"Fall int"

THE SLACKER'S SONG
(From Life)

II AOA AAlIG)
There's a general in the army,
There's an admiral on the sea,
There's soldier in the trenches
What's the need of you and me?
There's a burning church in Russia,
There priest in the debris,
There's baby dead in Belgium
What's the need of you and me?
There's a murdered girl in Flanders
That | wouldn't care to see;
There's mother mad in London
What's the need of you and me?
There's God somewhere in heaven,
There's a Kaiser living free;
1t will take the world to beat him
What's the need of you and me?

HOW TO KILL RATTLESNAKES

There is just one way to deal with a savage
said the returned Philippine soldier, "and that is
to do what Gen. Joel Smith did at the Island of
Samar. Treaties had been broken, persuasion
had failed and example was joke. Gen Joel
Smith finally established Gordon of troops
around the island and drove toward the center
Not living thing escaped
We were Mortified. Gen Smith was BRUTE
we expostulated. We argued for some time but
did not in single respect change that young
soldiers attitude.
He had been on the ground you see. He had
seen the murder and rapine. He had seen the VOL
alton of everything decent. He realized without
any particular mental process that Gen. Smith
had taken final and highly effectual means of
dealing with recalcitrants.
Heaven forbid that this country should ever
find it necessary to adopt force in place of reason
and explanation Heaven help us to show by ex-
ample and ideals just what America means at
home and abroad by it's attitude in this war.
But deep down in this writer's mind prevails
the haunting conviction that there is a way to
get rid of a rattlesnake and very effective one.

and without the Democratic party. Whether
in the jousting, it has tasted the sweets of vic
tory or the sting Of defeat, it has endeavored to
staunch it's wounds, refurbish it's armor, and
with high courage and glad confidence, prepare
itself for the challenger Of the morrow. But
these are times in which we will have to ask
tried enemies Of many years standing to excuse
U.s. We are too busy with bigger things. There
is only one fight that just now appeals to us as
worth carrying on. It is to strengthen the Am
erican government and to rally and unite the
American people in support of the which
depends everything we have, everything we hope
to have, everything we cherish. That cur own
little contribution to a mighty cause may not be
the best it would be possible to give all opportun-
tiles considered, we regretfully confess Griev-
ously we feel our limitations. But we are giving
all we know how to give, and giving it in the best
way we know how. And we are not keeping
books. We are willing to forget that we have
enemies willing to forget their shortcomings, if
only they are cooperating, as true Americans,
in the promotion Of the common cause.-Omaha
World-Herald.

THE CAPTURED AMERICANS.

That Germany took the captured Americans
into the third degree is indicated by an actual
photograph Of our boys standing before the Ger
man officers who with notebook in hand were
quizzing them. One German officer on the left
of the picture has a cynical grin on his face The
officers are big fellows while the German privates
seem to be sort Of hammered down and dull look
ing chaps. The American boy being questioned
looks just like we want him to look. His face is
serious but unafraid. His head is barred and his
broad forehead and intelligent features reflect
his nationality. He is baited but not scared!
Some of the less fortunate 90 boys were
killed instead Of captured. Their comrades found
them with their threats cut from ear to ear in
the trenches where they fell. They were buried
with full honors back of the lines.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND
OTHERWISE.

Every once in a while plaintive cry goes up
from some obstructionist organ that others are
saying the same things they said but are not
censured for it. This is true It gets back to the
element of human nature that will allow friends
to call names but stands for nothing from enc
mics. We know that Roosevelt, for instance is
thoroughly patriot. We know that his heart
and soul are with the country. We welcome his
intelligent criticism. We know that some others
speak entirely from malicious standpoint Our
reply to them is that the American people can
clean their own house and want no help from de-
structive sources.

WILL BAKER GO?

Arthur Sears Henning in Sunday Tribune
article, discusses the possibility of Secretary
Baker being shelved. Many think Baker has
made more or less of failure of his job They
hold that President Wilson is head and shoulders
above his cabinet with the exception of McAdoo
who seems to be thoroughly big-type. Wilson
will without doubt hold his present cabinet to-
gether unless the pressure becomes too great.
That this country is not utilizing it's best brains
seems without question. A coalition cabinet may
have to come.

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS.

The Lancaster Teller raises an interesting
point in connection with the study of German in
our public schools. The Teller says in conclusion
If we are ready to wage relentless war
fare against the German language per Sc,
then the CeaneSt slate which any foreign lam
guage department could show can avail no
ching. If America is to be best served NOW
and in the future by assigning the last syll-
able OF the enemy tongue to the limbo--let
1t be done now and speedily.
When Germany stole Alsace-Lorraine
from France, she forbade the teaching of
French III the schools of that territory
Only German could be taught If we are
ready now to take like step for the great
er UNITY OF these states let the ban be pro-
nOunced.
Put German out of the public schools, the
press and the pulpit!
Ii the teaching Of German in the Ian
caster high school is to be dropped, the issue
must be made upon the principle of teach
ing German, and not upon the work which
the department is now doing
The Herald doubts very much the influence of
PruSsianism through the media of German study
in our high schools. In opinion not one of the
thousands of our boys and girls who studied
German in their high school days learned any
thing about the language! 1t can't be done. The
writer studied, or attempted to study, German,
but made sorry failure Of it.
The point is that this country is English speak
ing. English is fast becoming universal Ian
guage because the English speaking peoples re
fuse to learn any other tongue! There is little
danger Of this sturdy language being supplanted
by any other
II German is to be abolished let it be done
from the standpoint Of its uselessness as study
and not from any motives of repugnance for the
language.

By daYbreak the men.

By daybreak the men, more than hundred,
were ready. Each man had his machine in per-
feet condition for the start. Each man wore two
suits Of leather underwear and sufficient other
clothing. They strained like pack hounds for the
flight!
Suddenly the word came! Into the air like
eagles leaped the machines the engines roaring
first and then settling to the steady hum of the
continuous flight as the airplanes became mere
specks in the morning light
Away they flew Across England and the
channel! Through France Over the Alps and
into Italy! Before dusk they were behind the
Italian lines ready for service the next day
Words cannot picture the magnifcence of this
great flight. 1t is an epic of the air.

Daddy's -
Bedtime Story
Tale Of a Lark

Adapted From Hans Christian Andersen
COON as the children had locked the
~ rabbit house daddy began to tell
them: "A police clerk was once
walking through a beautiful park. He
happened to have on some enchanted
goloshes, but he did not know it, SO
when he wished himself poet he i'm
mediately became one. He started in
to talk about the flowers and birds and
sweet air. He saw beauty in the wa
ter that a little boy splashed up with
a stick and passed whole hour day
dreaming.
Just then lark arose from the park
grass, leaving a lovely burst of song
behind him. Flying is such delight
full thing. cried the young poet-'that
is, if you are born to it! Now, if l
could ever be a bird l should like to
be just like that lark
"Of course the magic goloshes began
to get in their work at that remark
All at once the sleeves and tail Of the
clerks coat began to stick together.
Then they became wings, his clothes
changed to feathers and his goloshes
to claws.
''The clerk saw himself changing into
a bird and was much amused to watch
himself. Now 1 am dreaming! he
cried.
up into the branches of a park
tree he flew with song. But there

THE $50 MILE FLIGHT.

A thrilling bit of news comes from England in
connection with the recent invasion Of Italy
The Italians had been forced back within their
boundaries and almost routed. Venice was
threatened. The broad plains of northern Italy
lay open to the invader Worst of all Italy had
lost its dominance Of the air and the army was
without eyes. A cry went to England for fly
ing machines. On the night of the appeal the
order went to the Royal Flying corps that GER
tain selected number of aviators should be ready
by daylight with machines tuned up, gasoline
tanks filled and preparations made for long
flight

PROVERBS FOR WARTIME
(By H. Addington Bruce)


Even war is better than a wretched
peace.
He that makes a good war makes
good peace.
A good citizen owes his life to his
country.
Wars must be waged by waking
men.
He that shows a passion tells his
enemy where he may hit him.
He that can be patient finds his foe
at his feet.
To die or to conquer are the terms
Of war
War gives no opportunity for repeat
ing a mistake.
A deceitful peace is more hurtful
than open war

2RUssIAN INFLUENCE or YELLOWNEss?

Without belittling the extent Of Prussian in
fuence in these United States Fright here be it
said that German diplomacy and secret service
has kept step by step with it's war machine) are
we not inclined to make bogy of it? In other
words do not our own fears resolve themselves
easily into action from the enemy?
What America must do is to completely cast
out all feeling Of hesitation or fear. All thoughts
Of peace unless it be honorable and steadfast.
All aims but winning the war
One great driving motive should stand in this
country for the accomplishment of our common
purpose. Doubt should be replaced with resolu-
ton. Hesitation and fear with firm hope and
sureness of winning.
We have abundant resources in men and ma
terials. What we may lack is abundant faith in
our ultimate victory.
These things are even more important than
material matters. We must have them to win
and WE CANNOT LOSE!

KERENSKY

Keronsky, the man who might have
been Russia's saviour, has passed off
the stage. At least, such is the story
that comes to us now from Petrograd.
A fugitive from his foes and his for
mer friends, his fate is unknown.
From being man of splendid promise
he becomes man of pathetic mystery.
1t is said that in the hour of failure
he talked Of suicide. He was persuad-

THREE POSSIBILITIES.

Briefly summed up there are three possibilities
growing out of this war
One is the victory Of the United States and its
allies. This means world peace.
One is the victory of Germany and its allies.
This means world domination and exploitation.
One is a drawn battle and an armed peace
WHICH WILL YOU HAVE?

THERE is ONLY ONE FIGHT NOW.

The World-Herald confesses to being, ordin-
arily, pretty good partisan. It hasn't been
afraid of political strife-has welcomed it rather
in time and in season, and has enjoyed the Civ
ing and taking of hard blows in the wide-open
arena of popular government. It has not hesitat-
ed to meet the challenges Of it's enemies within

A SchooIboy Tossed a
Can Over Him,


During the day can sit at my desk
and do clerk duties, and when night
comes can change into bird and
fly about like a lark in the park gar
dens.'
'"Then he flew down into the grass,
twisting and turning his head about
among the tall blades, which seemed
almost as high as Norway pines. All
at once it began to grow dark around
him and huge object was thrown
right over him. 1t proved to be a big
cap that a schoolboy had tossed on
him. A hand crept under the cap and
clutched the clerk by the back and
wings SO tightly that he began to peep.
Sin his terror the clerk called out:
You impudent youngster. | am
clerk in the police Department.
But to the boy it only sounded like
peep-peep. and so he hit the clerk
across the beak and walked off with
him through the dark.
when he came to the avenue he
met two boys from the upper class at
school. They bought the lark for ten
pennies, and so the clerk got back to
Copenhagen, his home He was then
taken to house on Goth street.
SIT is well that l am dreaming
said the clerk to himself First | am
a poet, and now I am a lark. But it's
miserable business being bird when
one falls into the hands of boys. No
telling what they will do with me-
