HOW SHALL WE HELP?


notwithstanding the paucity OF
news from Russia lately II Is by no
means to be supposed that plenty
is not happening there. The Ger
mans, OF course are having things
pretty much their. own way. They
have seized upon Russian re-
sources and are busy poisoning the
minds OF her people against the
friends OF democracy. She has In
duced tho Bolsheviki government to
repudiate the nations debt TO France,
though still paying the German debt
religiously. Now what is America
going to do to counteraot this In
flnence and save Russia from the
grip OF the trap she has stepped in
tor
Some advocate tho sending OF a
big Japanese army into siberia to OPP
pose German progress there. But
such an army would have a hard
time penetrating into European Rus
sia where the help is most urgently
needed Besides, the presence of a
Japanese army in Siberia would
probably arouse resentment in
Russian minds that would throw her
irrevocably into the ranks Of demoo-
racy's ayowed enemies. should we
send propasandists into Russia ? I'm
like Germany we have no body OF
men trained for SUCH work. The
German propagandis,s have too long
a start Of 6is, anyway. 1t is much
easies for Germans to get into Rus
sta than for Americans.
Assuredly our policy OF friendli-
ness and "watchful waiting is not
having any perceptible effect in
drawing Russia closer to us. But
what can we do? President Wilson
is responsible for tho policy OF
friendly Inactivity toward the Rus.
sian people, in spite OF their un.
friendly attitude toward us and their
open comradeshlp with our enemiea.
II Is now up to him TO tell us lust
how we are going to mako a pracu-
cal application OF his policy.

Rippiing Rhymes
Peace Talk.
By WAIT MASON.

Peace Talk.
1t fills my soul with sorrow, that
men must fight and Kill today and
yet tomorrow. and more tomorroWs
still. I'm tired Of all the staying In
spring fields over there, where once
the children, maying, with laughter
filled the air I'm weary OF the
story of shrieks and dying groans,
of weapons red and CORY, OF graves
and dead mems bones And yet I'd
hold IL treason to boost for balmy
peace: it's surely not the season to
give such thoughts release. Until
our avalanches OF men have crushed
the foe. no doves with olive branches
viii have the slightest show. Until
we're done with shoolng the Prussian
off the walk, the dove that comes a
cooling Is due to meet a shock. The
peace that leaves tho Junker of Prus-
sia still on deck, would be whole
lot punker than war sad death and
wreck. We had to leave our haying
to polish off the Hun, and now We'll
90 on staying, until the job is done
We had to quit our farming, desert
our growing crops. and therell be
no disarming while yet Teuton
yawps. A half licked Hun would
never foresake his dreams OF power.
and he'd be worse than ever in less
than half an hour. And so no gents
or ladies can talk of peace to me.
although the war is hades that's
multiplied by three.

Everyday Wisdom

Devious and queer are the ways
OF Providence.
In the country we are nourished
by q. COW who previously had been
nourished by eating a layer OF green
grass off the surface of the earth
in the city we are nourished by a
dumb-wait -
Our blessings come up a chute, >.
Butter from the far away cow
comes up the chute; ice from the
lake; lamb chops from a far away
lamb: and vegetables from some
where.
If anything should clog the
dumb-waiter we would perish--we
dwellers in pigeon-hole apartment
houses--we cliff men of Manhattan
Kansas City, Indianapolis, Harris
burg, Penn, and elsewhere. our
dumb waiter to mouth existence
would be no more and we Wouiu
curl up and perish.
Then they would haul us off In
an auto to one OF tho new, modern
Condensed Cemeteries, out near the
golf links.
Except--to avert this extremity
we might walk down six flights OF
stairs and half block to the deli
catessen and get a basketful OF
nourishment to tide us over.
But devious and queer are the
ways of Providence.
