Russia's Plight.

Russia's plight during the fourth
year OF the war has struck a middle
course. between the two usual chan
nels of revolution There has been
no such series of excuses that
marked the reign of terror during the
French revolution. nor have events
followed the orderly precedent of the
English revolution. Violence has pre-
vailed among the Russians, but their
principal handicap has not been a
tendency toward crime. 1t has been
a waive of faith in formulas coupled
with childlike lack of education.
Neverthe less, the revolution, however
faulty, gives fairer hope for the flu
ture of Russia than a continuation of
the reign of the mentally incompetent
Ramanoffs.
Since the separate peace with the
central powers was signed by the
Rolsheviki, suggestions have been
made for policy of revenge toward
Russia on the part of the allies. Wiser
advice, however, has prevailed No
scheme of intervention in Russia has
been proposed that has seemed feast
Bile and without danger to the cause
OF democracy.

Russian Sacrifices.

If democracy's ideals are sound, the
Germans cannot crush them in Rus

older democracies of the west should
remember the crudities of their own

patient with Russia. Not otherwise
