The New Russia
(From The New York Trlbune.J

power is extended southeast 10 the
Volga region-already in revolt against
Moscow-the Bolshevlsts will be isolat-
ed from the greater part of what is
left of Russia. Their government will
either be snuffed out or they will flee
within the German lines for safety.
Lenine's declaration Of war" against
the Allies is a mere travesty. He has
no prestige left. He has no army. His
Red Guards have NJ stomach for flght-
ing armed enemies. They prefer to
rob the bourgeoise and to massacre
Lenine's political opponents. The real
Russia is through with them. And
when that Russia is awakened and or
ganized the Soviet power will vanish
overnight and a regenerated Slav state
will take up again the fight for de-
llverance from German oppression. Ger
many will have 10 reconstitute her
eastern front and fight from the Bal
tic to the Black Sea to hold the booty
which Lenine and Trotsky handed over
to her.
The crime OF Brest-Litovsk was too
monstrous TO stay long unavenged It
will be avenged by the new Russia now
coming into being in Siberia and at
Archangel.

Castor Bean Industry Revived;
Oil Used for AirpIane Motors

castor oil entails cold pressing OF tho
beans for extraction of the oil suita-
BILE for aviation engines and medicinal
purposes. This oil is purified by filter
alton process and is then ready for use
The residue Of the first pressing is
treated and an additional supply OF
inferior oil is obtainable. This is
known as No. grade After the ex-
traction Of the inferior oil. castor po-
mace remains, which, when ground,
makes a valuable fertilizer.
The results of this work, which are
now well under way. are due to great
extent TO the cooperation between the
Department Of Agriculture, the War
Trade board and the Materials Depart
ment of the Bureau Of Aircraft Pro-
duction.
Although castor oil is not essential
as a lubricant for the Liberty motor,
II is necessary for rotary motors. In
this type the gas is taken in through
the crankcase. where it comes in con-
tact with the oil, but. as castor oil
is only slightly soluble in gasoline,
IL is practically unaffected.

A new Russia is arising on the ruins
OF Bolshevism. To Lenine and Trot-
sky Russia was but an empty name
They were not Russians; they were
not nationallsts: they were not Slavs

Of a prOletarlat Utopia. They were
willing 10 roll up the old map Of Rus
sia and throw IL into the fire. To them
It was nothing but a mildewed monk
ish scroll.
The new Russia which is being born
in the northern steppes is a thing Of
sanity, not OF disordered imagination.
It is a true realization Of the hopes
Of the revolution Under the Roman
diaeval survival. Now the barriers to
freedom and progress have been swept
away. The people want to go for
ward. They are tired Of dwelling in
the transitional Soviet madhouse.
The first aim of the government Of
the Country Of the North" Is the re-
generation OF Russia. This can be ac-
complished only by the overthrow Of
the Lenine-Trotsky tyranny, the expul-
sion of the Germans, the reunion Of
the dismembered Russian peoples and
the creation OF a responsible free gov
ernment Since the Allies have all these
objects in view. the natural alliance
Of the new state is with the. powers
which are fighting Germany.

Allied Intervention. II is native
growth. II represents an inevitable re-
action from the crimes and folly Of
the Moscow regime. To have a pollt-
ical and economic future Russia must
be delivered from the German plunderer

tion has been least vlrulent, will prob

tolerance upon the great numbers OF
idle German ships interned In Soutii

tative diplomatic disclosures here to-

close touch with internal conditions in
the various republics admit that the
interned ship problem is vital one

that have not already entered the war
and turned the much-needed tonnage
into entente trade channels.
Late reports from Argentina indi-
cate that the popular demand there
has become so strong that seizure OF
the Teuton mercantile feet on the River
Plata may he forced on the govern
ment. One ship Of 5000 tons has been
sold TO Argentina owners, the money
being held at Buenos Aires until the
close Of the war. 10 was rumored al
the time OF the sale that the ship was
turned over to the Argentines with
out cost, in payment for the torpedoed
Argentine steamers "Toro" and Monte
Protegldo," which the German govern
ment agreed TO replace.

Automatic Army May Win War!
Steel Soldiers Are UndefeafabIe

a few hundreds Of these mechanical
soldiers can easily defend a position
against all infantry attacks. however
numerous the opposing force may be.
Panic or disorder affect them not, and
they blaze away without flinching.
To overcome them they must be de-
stroyed one by one, which can be ac-
complished only by a direct hit from
a shell, and as they are controlled by
wireless there is no means Of demobil-
izing them.
Danish military experts who have
examined the invention declare lt would
be feasible 10 line up the automatic
soldiers in the sectors most exposed
TO attack, human soldiers being held
in reserve in the more easily defend
ed positions. An army operated on
these lines. they say could win all
