our boys who are fighting in France, in
stead Of finding fault?"
We recommend Mr.. Lawrence to spend
half an hour with General Wood before
he goes on assisting at the lynching,
which, if it fully occurs, will be also an
emotional crime unconsciously per-
formed by those who cannot endure to
doubt the conduct Of the war.
He will learn that General Wood is no
more interested in the Liberty motor
than in hundred other things, includ-
ing the abstract problem of large and
costly civilian personnel having become
entangled in military detail, while at the
same time a large military personnel
has become entangled in civilian detail!
with resulting chaos which is believed
to be without parallel in the world.

The Russia Of TODAY

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Why are the editorial writers oF
the I. S. A. press SO ignorant in regard %
Russia and everything Russian? Why do
they persist in msnforming the public!
The Public Library is full of material for
those that really want to know what
modern Russia looks like. Now let ma
point to you things that are always mis-
represented.
l. 1t is not true that only 5 to 10 per
cent of the people are literate-the rest,
80 to 95 per cent, being on the same plane
Hottertots. Russia has over 200,0C3
school teachers Ga school teacher in Russia
is exempt from military duty-it is con-
sidered that he is more valuable in the
schoolhousc).

every regiment has a school "Uchebnaie
Komanda" where the illiterate get the R.
R. RS. In Siberia the schools are a model
for the world. Every village has a school,.
Even in places up north, where one would
not expect to find one, they exist. AS re-
CARDS higher education and science, the
Russians are second to none. The year be-
fore the war Russia printed $4,000 books,
to 10000 in the United States. But why sag
more? | could give you statements by tho
yard.
There is no restriction in education of the
peasants. Some of our greatest generals,
professors, scientists, etc, etc, come from
this class.
g. A pet theory in the United States is
that the railroads in Russia are IN state
of ruin. This is not true The very COM
mission sent by the United States Cno

Scott, has reported the TranssiberiaA

The True Status Of Russia

An indignant Russian reader writes US
to complain rather violently of the utter
ignorance Of the press Of this country
in regard to Russia and everything Rus
sian. We reprint his letter in another
column.
1t is quite true that there has been IN
Russia, in recent years, q vcritable in
tellectual ferment and that, for example,
the attendance in it's universities has at
tanned proportions surprising that cf
any other country that we know Of Even
some years ago an American consul re.
ported something like dozen universi-
ties with an average attendance of over
ten thousand students each.
Equally true is the statement of our
correspondent regarding the amazing
literary output Of this great nation. In
the last year for which we find available
figures the number of books published
was equal to that of the United States.
England and France combined. 1t was
surpassed only by Germany. And this
remarkable situation has been true for
number Of years.
Moreover, the amount of book buying
done in Russia is something amazing.
Many Of the popular authors of Russia
have acquired fortunes simply through
the sale of their books, and this is true
not merely of writer's of the type of
Miss Libbcy or Mr.. Chambers. For ex-
ample, it is said that Gorky, friend Of
the peasant and himself former cheua.
Her of the roadside, had become a mill
ionaire before the revolution broke out
In the field Of medicine and public
health Russia has developed system
of communal hospitals with more or less
free attendance that has hardly it's like
in any other country. And as we re-
marked the other day, some Of it's moro
eminent physicians and men of science
rank among the ablcst
Likewise, it is true that on the indus
trial side Russia has undergone in the
last quarter Of century a quite re-
markablc development, which we might
perhaps liken to that Of our own South.

Tell the News Promptly

We Americans are but just entering
real warfare, and it is natural that we
have much to learn. One thing we have
to learn is how and when to tell the
news.
The task sounds simple. Blu. the
British are constantly complaining OF
the hardness of their official news. And
the facts of the present offensive are
fresh in mind. Almost every night since
the great drive began it has been from
the German official report that the Allied
nations learned the position Of their line.
Only when the French entered the field
and Noyon was evacuated did 4 prompt
statement issue from the Allied side.
1T is, Of course, nonsense to talk Of
military necessity in defence of such
silence. When the enemy has captured
village he is fairly we'll aware of the
fact. There may conceivably have been
military considerations which caused the
delay in the news Of American participa-
tion in the fighting. Yet here again
the first news came from German sources
and has been only belatedly and in piece.
meal confirmed.
Tell the news promptly. The morale
of a country is quite as important as the
morale of it's fighting men. Judging
by the experience of every fighting ma
ton, it is even more difficult to main
tain. The truth and the whole truth the
instant military prudence permits is the
one possible way TO prevent depression,
hysteria, panic.

The Equation Of Happiness

In reply to some remarks in these
columns on the use Of the rich man,
correspondent writes to ask if we think
that people who acquire great riches are
in general happy folk. We are obliged
to answer that in general we think they
are about as happy as other folk who
achieve in some task which they have
set themselves to do.
For example, to take two conspicuous
examples, we should imagine that Henry
Ford was a fairly happy man, and so we
conceive Mr.. Rockefeller may have been
in the days when he was rolling up has
great riches. The point is that they
were happy while they were achieving,
and so are most men in any walk Of life,
though they may not find any enduring
satisfaction in the final attainment
Most philosophers tell US that there is
no great secret about happiness The
late William James even reduced it to 8
kind of mathematical formula. He said
very simply: Happiness depends pretty
much on maintaining our self-esteem.
And that, he declared, meant simply
getting the right ratio between our as.
pirations or ambitions and our actual
achievements Or successes.
Obviously, if man has towering am
bitions and fails at everything he tries.
then, no matter what his temperament,
he is bound to be rather unhappy; that
is, unless he can feed his thirst for self
esi poro will, fict;t;cnc food 7'I,o ,,,,,,
who can do that straight through life
can never be very much cast down. But
most folk have no such happy gift, and
so, according to Mr. James, for people
who live in world of reality the equa-
ton of happiness may be stated thus:

some unexplained reason has hardly been
considered in the American press. The ones
ton Glow many men will we have to
supply to insure victory?" seems never to
be raised. 1t is assumed that we have raised
and oflcered an army of credtable size.
that we are already commencing to share
in the fighting and that when our forces
come into action in all their strength the
balance OF military force will be on the side
OF the Allies and Germany will be defeated.
But what are the facts of the case?
According to estimates of Hiaire Belloc
IN Land and Water" the forces of the Gen.
tral Empires last year before the Russian
collapse were very nearly as follows: Ger
many, 100000 on the East, 100000 on
the West; Austria, 100000 on the East
and 1000 600 on the West front Gin Italv).
These figures are rough generalities but
close enough for calculation, and apply to
actual effective fighting men. (For Ger
many alone the estimate given of all forces
actually enrolled was 100000 men. of
which 3,250,000 were considered actual Of.
fectlves. Austria was estimated to have
about two-thirds many as GERMANY
At that time MIR. Beloc estimates that the
Allies on the West outnumbered the Ger
mans by 100000 men, Yet they did NOT
