OUR AIM IN RUSSIA

We cannot too often emphasize that
America has no other interest in Rus
sia than Russia's own interest. II
is not our concern as to the character
of the Russian government. To inter
vene in a military way in an indie
pendent sovereignty would be very sim
liar to Germany's invasion of Belgium.
The position of the American Govern
ment is best set out by the announce
nIent made on behalf of the Govern
ment by the Department of State.
In taking this action the Govern
ment of the United States wishes to
announce to the people of Russia in
the most public and solemn manner
that it contemplates no interference
with the political sovereignty of Rus
sia, no Intervention in her internal af-
fairs-no, not even in the local affairs
of the limited areas which her mill
tary force may be obliged to occupy
and no impairment of her territorial
integrity, either now or hereafter; but
that what we are about to do has as
its single and only object the render
ing of such aid as shall be acceptable
to the Russian people themselves in
their endeavors to regain control of
their own affairs, their own territory
and their own destiny"

THE NEW BOOKS
AThe Psychology of War;,


THE conduct of modern warfare
demands the cooperation of practi-
cally every science" writes John c.
MacCurdy, of the Cornell University
Medical School, in a volume on THE
Psychology of War" Engineering,
chemistry, bacteriology and agricul-
ture are all needed. Even the sane
tify of the home is invaded, and do
mestic economy regulated. But be
hind all the sciences stands the hui
man factor, infinitely the most impOr
tant OF all. On the behavior of the
private in the trenches, the officer in
in his dug-Out, the mechanic at his
lathe, and the woman in the kitchen
depends the victory. What science
can explain how and why they act,
or in what way their mental attitudes
are altered? Again, before hostil-
tiles emerge, something must happen;
no meteorological or terrestrial event
can cause war, it must be a change
in the mind of man. Are the forces
which make war and decide its issue
TO lie uninvestigated? Is mankind go
ing to accept this staggering burden,
or attempt solution of its problem
merely by wishing for peace? There
is science ambitious enough to hope
1or an answer to each of these ques-
uons. Unfortunately psychology is
young amongst the sciences, and must
therefore hope rather than promise

If the depth charges took effect they

Beside these the gunnery officer was
proud of guns made for use on battle
ships but mounted here on deck.
''They will Out-shoot any submarine
afleat", said the officer, patting his big
weapons as though they were pets.
AS we came ashore two American
airplane sections were being debarked,
with their liberty motors and all the
paraphernalia of flight. These ar
rivals, long deferred but now coming
strong and fast, were almost as cheer
ing as the arrival of troops, and to-
gether they signalled that vital part in
men and machines that America would
soon be taking in the great conflict.

PLANES SMALLER THAN BIRDS
May Be Used In Mail Service After

By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2SCBy maiD The
smallest British airplanes are actually
of less span than the largest birds.
The great albatross has been known
to measure nearly IS feet from wing
tip to wing-tip. A certain type of
midget airplane Recently exhibited
in London is only Is feet in width.
These are the machines which we
may expect to see after the war carry
ing our mails" declared Major Orde
Lees. Of the British aviation service.
They will be almost as universal as
the smart automobile mail vans of
pre-war times. These small machines
will be used by postal authorities on
account of the existing limitations of
storage and starting grounds in our
great cities.
Dropping mail bags by parachute
will be given a good trial Bags may
also be picked up while flying after

FOR AFTER THE WAR

Missouri should have a commission
of her ablest citizens to plan for Mis-
souri, after the war. Such work in re-
search, investigation, suggestion
would place Missouri in the forefront
of the progressive commonwealths of
the American nation. President Will
son well says:
I'VE are upon the eve of great re-
construction. 1t calls for creative
craftsmanship as noage has done
since that great age in which we set
up the government under which We
live, that government which was the
admiration of the World until it suf-
fered wrongs to grow up under it
which have made many of our own
compatriots question the freedom of
our institutions and preach revolution
against them. ] do not fear revOlu-
uon. l have unshaken faith in the
power of America to keep its self
possession. Revolution will come in
peaceful guise, as it came when We
put aside the crude government of the
Confederation and created the FEEDER
al Union which governs individuals
not states, and which has been these
hundred and thirty years our vehicle
of progress. Some radical changes we
must make in our law and practice.
Some recOnstructiOns we must push
forward which new age and new cir
cumstances impose upon US. But we
can do it in calm and sober fashion, |
like statesman and patriots"
Missouri should not lag behind in
so great and important constructive
work but should lead in this as in |
other things.

Perhaps, were it older, there might
be no wars. 1t is with the confidence
that that day of peace will be has
tened by the diffusion of psychology
viewpoint that this essay has been
written" The theories of Freud,
James, Trotter, Jones and others in
regard to the Psychology of War are
discussed and analyzed by the author
in addition to his own. Is the in
stinct for war so deep rooted it can
never be eradicated or may it be pre-
vented like insanity in the individual?

lean army chauffeur were asked What
is the biggest nuisance in France?" he
would, in ninty-nine cases out of a
hundred, reply with the greatest

There are thousands of grade cross
ings on every railway in France, and
every one of them is protected by
set of gates, which drop into position
long before a train gets near the spot,
and apparently remain there long af-
ter the train has passed.
The gates usually run back and
forth on wheels. 1t is almost always
woman who opens and closes them.
She has little box-house at the side
of the track, with sometimes a baby
in cradle to occupy her leisure time.

FRANK DAVEY SLATED
FOR WARDEN--RUMOR
VIII Replace Murphy If
WithycoInbe Reelected
Is Report.

Is Frank Davey slated for appoint
ment as warden of the state peniten-
tiary soon after the general election,
which will be held next month";
Report has it that he is. II is said
that Governor Withyeombe is prepar-
ing to deeapitate Warden Charles A.
Murphy because the warden has incur
red the displeasure Of Joe Keller, state
parole officer and intimate adviser of
the chief executive.
Frank Davey says he knows nothing
about any such program and declares
that the mention of his name in this
connection is merely an attempt to
drag him into the penitentiary eotro-
versy, which he has kept etirely out Of.
Mr.. Davey is at present bookkeeper at
the penitentiary.
What action the governor will take
might depend upon the findings of At
torney General Brown and the three
district attorneys who are assiting him
in investigating the parole scandal at
the prison. 1t was in connection with
this scandal that Parole Officer Kel-
Ter made the charge that Warden MUIR
ply was behind frame-up to connect
Keller with it, and this brought to light
that much friction has existed between
the warden and parole officer at the
prison for some time.
Governor Withycombe passed over the
Keller charge against the warden as
being merely the result of petty zeal.
