A REASON FOR EVERYTHING.

Without looking into Russla's past
economic life, the present conduct Of
the people of that country is inexpli-
cable They fight like wild beasts with
each other, but refuse to lift a hand
or fire shot to stay the advance Of
the invading enemy.
The first reason for this condition
IL found In the fact that the Russian
government. as administered by the
Gar, was Of no benefit to the laboring
masses Of that country. Men will not
fight and die for that which is Of no
benefit to them or their children. The
Russian autocracy, supported by the
wealthy classes were of no help to the
laboring masses. The Bolsheviki des-
titute Of property themselves, became
the enemy Of all property owners, as
well as all forms Of civil government.
While believing that they will be able
to destroy the Kaiser's government
when they wish to do so, they are
quite willing to permit the Kaiser's
1egions to help in the destruction Of
every trace Of Russia's former gov
erning forces. And the property own
ers of Russia seem to believe that the
Kaiser, while a very bad master,
might not treat them as badly as the
Bolsheyiki. Russia is house divided
against itself That is the reason for
its present condition.

GREAT FACTS FIFTY THREE
YEARS AGO.

(From Frank Leslie's Illustrated News
paper of April l, 1861
We are now in the fourth year OF
our great Civil War, and vet volun-
teering goes on at the rate of 5000
soldiers day, or over 100000 per
annum. To support this army in the
field the people of the United States
are taking up the bonds of the Govern
ment at the rate of over $4,0O0,00O a
day, or s1,44O, 100000 per annum
If anything were necessary to be
added to these great and significant
facts. we might repeat what every
body knows, namely, that labor was
never so well rewarded, enterprise
never more active, and all the ele-
ments of wealth and prosperity never
more vigorous than at this moment.

AMERICAN BOLsHEyIKI.
lFrom the Telegraph Herald.

(From the Telegraph Herald.)
with the awful fate of Russia so
fresh in the public mind it seems al
most incredible that Americans could
be found to subscribe to the doctrines
of the Bolsheviki We might possibly
look for admirers of Lenine in the
Socialist party, but no one expects
anything from this organization any
way. It must therefore come as a
painful shock to patriotic Americans
to learn that in both the old parties
there are politicians of the Lenine
type-men who are using the same
arguments for remaining passive in
the face Of Germany's assault on civ
ilization that he is using today; men
who hope to get into congress, or to
remain there, by preaching Lenine's
false and destructive doctrines.
+ Lenine and his corrupt gang got
into power by preaching that Russia
had no special grievance against Ger
many Aided by German spies and
propogandists he induced the Russian
people to believe this monstrous false
hood, and they lost their will to win.
The effects of his teaching are all too
evident The Russians today are
bringing under the Prussian whip.
The Lenines and the Trotzkys Of
this country who will seek nomina-
.tions for congress at the summer pri-
maries under the banner of either of
the old parties will use arguments
very similar to those employed by Lee
nine They have already learned by
heart these words Of Lafollette's,
which were published under his sigma
ture in the June issue of his maya
zine:
Little by little it has been brought
home to the American people that we
|are in this terrific world conflict not
to right our wrongs, not as an aid to
the allies, not to share it's awful death
toll and Its fearful tax burden but
to bear the brunt Of the war. for
which we have no special grievance
of our own!
THE question IL, are we to sacrifice
millions of our young men the very
promise of the land and spend bill
Hons and more billions, and pile up
the cost of living to the point of star
walton, and fight, fight, fight without
any special grievance Of our own?
No special grievance Of our own!
1t is as II gang Of bloody-handed
bandits were at large in a community,
killing and footing at their will, and
some citizens refused to join posse
to hunt them down because they had
no special grievance of their own.
Citizens who should make such a
plea would be regarded with contempt
or suspicion. So also should every
candidate for office who says that this
country, now partner In the great
fight for world freedom, has no spe-
cial grievance Of its own These are
the men who must be denied political
power if the nation is to endure.

THE GREAT GERMAN DRIVE IN
FRANCE.

Great events are now happening in
France. Men are now killing each
other by the tens, if not by the hun
ilreds of thousands in that country
The Germans have advanced mil
lion strong, with a reckless disregard
for human life. Day after day their
4 solid ranks have been torn by the ar
tillery of the allies, but at this writing
while checked, they have not been en-
tirely stopped.
In their rush upon the British
trenches the Germans were more
successful than the allies expected
they would be. The British have
probably lost 800 cannon and upwards
OF 10000 men as prisoners, but the
Germans had to pay for them with a
shocking loss of life.
From all accounts, it seems that the
German infantry advanced in solid
formation without waiting for but lit
tie artillery support; that the British
artillery subjected the advancing
enemy to murderous fire; that the
British line bent back but did not
break, and is not likely to break,
notwithstanding the fact that the
British are vastly outnumbered by the
attacking forces.
When the British infantry was COM
PEELED to fall back the retreat was COW
cred by the British artillery. It was
impossible for the British gunners to
miss the swarm of advancing Ger
mans. According to one report, two
English batteries fired steadily with
open sights at 400 yards for four
hours. According to English reports,
the Germans have lost 10000 men,
which is a staggering price to pay
for the gains they have made.
President Wilson cabled Field Mar
shall Haig last Monday the following
message:
.May not express to you my warm
admiration for the splendid steadfast-
ness and valor with which your troops
have withstood the German onset and
the perfect confidence all Americans
feel that you will win secure and
final yictory.Y

: Planes Of Huge Size, Says
Runor From Germany.

London, March 26. There have been
many reports recently about mysteri-
GUS multiple-engined German air.
planes of gigantic size. In the last
few days the German newspapers have
been mentioning them guardedly I'M
der the title "riesenflugseug." or giant
airplanes type.
According to aviation experts here,
two types of these machines have thus
far appeared on the western front,
one four-engined biplane and the
other six-engined triplane. Both
machines appear to be still in the ex-
detrimental stage Some time ago
Hans Volmoller, one Of the pioneers
of German aviation, was killed while
testing one Of these machines.

Washington, March 26.--President

EASTER,

Next Sunday will be Easter, the
anniversary of Christs resurrection.
.'Peace be unto YOU" were the first
words spoken by the Master to his dis
ciples after he had risen from the
dead. AT no time since those words
we're first spoken has the world been
more in need of peace than it is at the
present time.
Would that the risen Christ might
appear again, not to a few disciples
in room at Jerusalem, but to all
the waring nations Of the earth and
say to them, "Peace be unto YOU

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.

& (From the Waterloo Times -Tribune.)
When million men come forward
on narrow front, in massed forma-
tion-when they keep coming and
coming in spite Of losses and are as
four to one against the defenders, it
is war when the defenders NOV them
down as fast as possible and when
they are overwhelmed to retreat to
stronger positions. This is what the
British have done, and all accounts
indicate that they have done it we'll
