(By Frank Bohn)
 The regime which the Lenine and Trotzky outfit have conducted in that blind and crippled part of Russia which the German cheese knife has left to the ''revolutionists" has now run on long enough to permit us to size it up pretty accurately Some of us several months ago based tentative conclusions upon the, following fact Lenine, TTotzky, ct al. are honest men that is, honest in the sense that they set out to serve ideal purposes. Gus tave Herve, editor of La Victoire in Paris. calls them rats of the. libra ries7-men who spend their lives eat ing masses of literature and philoso- phy as rats eat garbage Had they been. cclored and lived in trees in Cen tral Africa, Nerve goes on to say, i've should have known what to expect Of them. ? As they are white and have lived so long ia Central Europe, it was quite natural for ps to be disappointed in them.
 Whr die the russian Junkers com promise vita them at all? Why weren't they simply driven out, as in the Ukraine. or stood up and shot, as in Finland2 We now have the an- swer, viz. 6,00G, 100000 rubles If we would understand the German policy in Russia at the present time we must view it entirely from the point of view of wheat, meat, wool and hides. The question which the German General Staff and the Foreign Department asked at Brest-Litovsk was simply this: How can we secure from Rus sia, this season and next, the largest possible amount of these four com modities without jeOpardizing our fut- uTe political and economic hold upon Russia?T For them to go into Russia and literally cOnfiscate from 30 per cent to 50 per cent of the Russian crop is physically impossible. It would require a troop of cavalry in every viii lage- Indeed, it has been tried in the Ukraine, where regiments of Polish cavalry were sent tc gather wheat The result was that hundreds of the cavalrymen were killed and wounded many of them being later dragged from the hospitals and torn limb from limb by the infuriated peasantry. An infinitely better method is that pur- sued in conjunction with Lenine and TrotZky,
 The 6.9O0.O00, ,000 rubles which the Eolsheyiki have promised to pay Ger many is equal to 4,500,0OO, ,O00. Now the entire national wealth of Russia immediately before the war was only S4O,O00, ,OO0.690 The territory over which the BoIshevi1i hold sway at present drained of its wealth and man

power by the war, is worth probably not more than S15,000, ,000. So these distinguished statesmen of rev
 clutionary" Russia have promised to pay one-third of the wealth of their people to the kaiser. That means that
 they are bound themselves to deliver fone-third of the national income to i German agents Compare these fig
 ures with those representing the
 wealth of France and draw similar Ioonclusions. France was worth S50.- 006 ,000,000 before the war If Bol-
 sheyist regime in France could be es- tablished and make peace with the Kaiser tomorrow as their fellows have
 in, Russia, and the kaiser's agents
 should demand the same as they did of
 the Russian Bolshiviki. all that France
 would have to pay would be $15.000, 900 coo. That is. the French workers
 would be asked to turn over S750,000,
 900 worth of their product annually.
 To return to Russia, the interest on
 S4500, ,000,0 coo at 5 per cent is S225, ,000-
 coo annually But ven Kuhlmann is known to have been a very kindly, gen
 erous, moderate and liberal statesman.
 At Brest-LitOvsk he probably did not
 demand the whole amount on the spot
 in cash. We can asily imagine him
 giving the Bolshiviki five years in
 which to pay the principal; S9OO,000-
 000 at the end of the first year plus
 S225,00O,O00 of interest is SLIPS ,OO0-
 000 OfNcOurse, not a dollar of gold
 will go from Russia to Germany. They
 wouldn't take it if it were offered to
 them, as they would rather have its
 weight in iron, zinc, and rubber. They
 will take their pay in the only com modities Russia has to pay with wheat, meat, wool and hides. That they will get, or out 50 the Bolshiviki and in will come some one who will pay promptly. Meanwhile, if there is a revolution in Great Russia it will not be a revolution against a Marshal von Eichhorn-it must be a revolution against the revolutionists, and the one thing in which Lenine and Trotzky are efficient, indeed the one job in which they are highly skilled specialists, is dealing with counter-revolutionary forces. They will live and grow fat where men like Count Mirbach and Marshal EichhOrn die. They will de liver the S4,5OO, 100000 plus every ko peck of interest, while the German agel.ts in the Ukraine and Finland are sending back the bodies of their as- sassinated leaders.
 Let the social revolutionists of Rus sia, who have made such a splendid beginning on Mirbach and Eichhorn, continue their good work and make no distinction between the slave buyers and the slave traders

WAR DEVELOPMENT OF FLYING WILL MEAN MUCH TO WORLD OF SCIENCE WHEN FIGHTING SHALL HAVE ENDED, SAYS BRIGHoUsE

LONDON. Aug. 1.-CCorrespondence Of the Associated Press) .-Airplanes will be widely used. after the war, for purposes of exploration and ,servey. said Harold Brighouse, of the Roya.

 With peace will come a large eXten- sion ot the use of the airplane in ex- plOration.
 There is no reason why the re- mctest parts or Africa or the upper waters of the Amazon should remain unmapped. Aerial photography has reached a stage when all that is neoes sary for exact man-drawing is a con- tinuOus series of air photographs Tracts of Portuguese East Africa, which had never before been charted, were, in fact mapped by means of the air photography of British aviatOrs.
 The undiscovered natural resources Of new country can be observed from airplanes. The eye of the ob- server reveals much; the air camera, oven now, will be Of greater utility still as the development of aerial color photography progresses.
 Railway surveys through savage lands, which, both in life and money, has been a tremendously costly pre- iiminary to construction, will become safe, and SO cheap as to present no financial obstacles whatever, to a sur vey which uses aerial photography.
 Not only can the course of rivers traced, but their navigable channels can be ascertained. and the combined discovery made Of valuable natural products, together with the best means of transporting them by river
