Core Of Russ Individuality.

After all, bolshevism, whatever it really
may be and however fragrant its follies
and faults, seems somehow to incorporate
the core Of Russian individuality. If it
has made peace with the would-be world
conQuerors, it has done SO reviling them.
There has been no evidence to convince
any mind. critical rather than prejudiced.
that there was or could be any collusion
between the German imperialists and the
Russian revolutionaries.
But the same thing, unhappily, cannot
be said Of certain Russian elements other
than the bolshevists. These other ele-
ments have. been all too quick to seek not
only unquestioning peace, but friendly
economic relations with the scourgers of
mankind. Not Lithuania, not Ukrainia
and not Finland has shown the slightest
disposition to prevent the German from
bringing about state of affairs in the
east that would free their hands against
the British, French. Italian and Ameri-
cans in the east. In other words. SO far
as can be seen. those elements in the east
that have hastened to smooth the path of
Teutonic ambition represent the spirit of
utilitarianism, whereas their opponents
are the champions of such idealism. how
ever visionary or i'll judged. as is dis
cernible in Russia.

BRITISH FLlERS OFTEN
THE DECISIVE FACTOR
Close Ranks Of German Division
Scattered by Low-Flying Air
men in Recent Drive.

Cablegram to The Evening" Star and the
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
PARIS, France. April 1.-The British
flying service is credited by infantry
officers with proving the decisive fac
tor In many instances OF the British re-
sistance in the past week. The close
ranks of at least one German division
were scattered by airmen fifty or one
hundred feet above their heads. The
German wave formation deteriorated
despite the utmost efforts at steadinesy.
1t is almost impossible to appreciate
the full meaning of a recent COM
munique stating that a quarter of a
million rounds of machine gun bullets
were fired from low-fying machines
into the enemy masses. It seems prob
able that at least one ball in five must
have caused a wound. That would
mean $4,000 wounded by aeroplane fire
alone. But it is more probable that
one shot in three had effect.
To accomplish this it was necessary
for a few hundred British chasing
machines, chiefly manneds by pilots
alone, to fly beneath the ifconceivable
drive Of shells, meet the point blank
fire of the field artillery, encounter this
and more and go about the work coolly.
returning from time to time to the
aerodromes for fresh ammunition with
which to continue the work.

Proletarians Disillusioned.

It comes to this that the Russian pro-
letarians, the Lenines and the Trotzkys,
are disillusioned. Seeking universal
revolution on the basis of exclusive
proletarianism, they find themselves
alone, impotent, despoiled. inglorious,
derided-in effect traitors to humanity.
At the same time they find the armed
proletarian in Germany only an effec-
tive instrument of Prussian militarist
tyranny locked in a death grapple with
the armies of democracy in the west
This significant fact is said to be going
straight home to Russia
In the middle of December I quoted
a capable observer, just back from
Petrograd. as foreshadowing a Russian
revival before the end OF the war. He
timed this revival to come when the
Russians had got the true measure OF
the Germans and when the kaiser'e g
armies had mainly been removed from
the east and were deeply involved in
the west. This moment would seem
either to have arrived or to be not dis
tant Of course, should the Teutonic
glacier pulverize the allies no one could
expect the present tendencies in the
east to pass at once into tangible ac-
tion, though all history teaches that
the situation the Germans have en-
forced in the east cannot endure. But
IL the Germans fail In the west, If their
great reserves melt until Russia feels
that she can strike without risking an
nihilation. then, it is felt, she will
strike.

LONDON. April Fresh difficulties
for the Germans loom over the Euro
pean situation. Sporadic warfare con-
tinues in the east. Reliable reports
from Russia indicate that Germany's
so-called conquests are merely con-
quests Of suppressed volcanoes" Every
where these volcanoes are rumbling
and in some places they are eruptive
Germany meets the crisis with threats
Of more effective suppression.
Meanwhile it is reported that Ameri-
can troops are marching to the support
of the allies.
This fact will electrify Russia" said
Michael Farbman, a Russian jour-
nalist to me today. More and
more Of our people are losing their
distrust Of America. American ideal
ism and purity of motive are impressing
the Russians remarkably. 1t is clear to
them that, however capitalistic may be
the countries opposing Germany, they
are infinitely preferable to the central
empires as determining influences in
the world I am disposed to go to
America to aid those who already are
striving to enlighten our people re-
specting the fundamental principles Of
the republic"

Lauds the British.
An American officer observer with the
British army, who was with the Eng
lish troops in the hottest part OF the
front on Tuesday, said:
"Despite the difficulties attending the
orderly and logical retirement OF the
British forces the average soldier and
the officers of the English army were as
cool, calm and confident as if they were
advancing instead of retreating. One
has only to see them 1ght to be perfect
ly assured of the outcome OF this the
greatest of battles. The most can say
is that if our Army, when put to an
equally serious test, shall prove to be
equally solid shall be more than ever
proud of our own people,"
Paris has for the first time seen
American troops with the mud of the
trenches on their uniforms. wearing tin
hats, with packs on their backs and
rifles on their shoulders traversing the
grand boulevards. They are the first
American soldiers who have been given
permission to enter Paris after service
in the front lines.
Some days ago when I was at an
American seaport base I witnessed the
departure for home of able bodied
American soldiers. who, after having
received their baptism OF fire in the
European war, had been honorably dis
charged. This strange Inconsistency
was explained by the fact that they
were soldiers of the Regular Army who
after long service had attained the age
or fulfilled the years of service emitting
them to retire on pensions.
Most OF them said they thought they
have earned this privilege. and that 1t
would be foolish not to accept 1t. be-
cause another day in the trenches
might mean that they would never
profit by it. Not many have taken ad-
vantage of the circumstance. Those

NATIONAL THRIFT DAY

We have been asked at times to point
out the distinction between National
Thrift Day and other holidays. Not a

events that have passed-the birthday
OF a hero, the happening of some grea;
event or the devotion and sacrifice
OF those who have served the Nation

mendable and proper.
But therein lies the difference be-
tween holidays and National Thrift

GOOD INTENTIONS

II is proverbial and generally ac-
, cepted as fact that the downward
= road is paved with good intentions.
i Meaning well and doing well have
always been recognized as two sep
arate and distinct things.
All the year round we encounter
reminders of the necessity Of increased
practice of Thrift, conservation and
good management.
To a very large extent we have
learned to put these ideas into prac-
tice. but who is there among US who.
when balancing up his Thrift practice
against his good intentions, can strike
an even balance?
There is always opportunity to do
more. and there always will be just
so long as experience remains mans
greatest teacher.
II is for the purpose of focusing good
intention on some specific time for ac-
tion that National Thrift Day was
founded some years ago.
We have come TO the appointed day
again this February Bird, and there is
perhaps more reason than ever before
, for giving heed to the practical obser-
vance of the day.
1t is time TO stop putting off and
to do
Il is a time to make a review of the
progress of the last year and to make
an actual start at doing better during
the coming year.

the economies taught us by the war
have not by any means approached the
limit of what might have been-they
have not pinched US. but on the con
trary have merely served to open our
eyes to what individually and as ma
tion we can do.
Restrictions will be removed and the
bars let down again so fam as enforced
is concerned but this
does not mean that Thrift has ceased
to be timely.
Quite the contrary, il means that
This is the time of times for Thrift
that practice from now on will bear
It's greatest fruits for the individual
hat the element of sacrifice is largely
removed and in its place we find per-
ional advancement, betterment and
profit appearing.
1t is to the advantage of each one
ii us, therefore. to observe National
Thrift Day in the way it was meant
o be Observed-by taking a forward
tep in the direction of independence.
Independence springs from charac-
er. ability, health and financial re-
ources. every one of which can be
argely built up by the constant prac-
ice OF genuine Thrift.
Which means that everything is
thrift which makes one better off in
haracter, mind, body and pocket and
nat everything conducive to these
nds is a proper and profitable sub
oct of contemplation and action on
