CHAOTIC CONDITION IN
TORN RUSSIA EXPLAINED
Conflicting Elements Now at War With
Each Other Makes German
Aggression Easy.

hamilton RYE, for TWO years Speclal
Russian correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail writes Interestingly and in
way to throw light on the war torn
peoples OF that distressed nation. 1t
is the internal conflict that makes
Russia an easy prey for the German
Junkers who want more territory.
What many people ask for is to be
reminded frequently Of the meaning Of
the elements which are confused in
the Russian chaos. Something like
this:
Bolsheviki - Extremists. Literally,
those who demand more than any other
party.\
Social revolutionists-A more mod
crate group which says, Let US make
changes bit by bit instead OF trying to
abolish the capitalist system all at
once"
Cadets-Liberals who would have
been satisfied with a constitutional
car and form OF government like
ours, but whose grasp was too week to
secure this when occasion offered.
Ukrainians-A party which claims
to represent the Ukraine, very large
district OF southern Russia. For years
an agitation for self government with
in this district has been going on.
Ukrainian troops were the first to be
called back from the front. This
party is no more anxious than the
Bolsheviki to go on fighting.
Cossacks-Peasant proprietors whose
lands are held upon feudal tenure.
obliging them to appear, when sum-
moned, with arms and horses ready
for war. But, being light cavalry,
they are OF little use in such a war as
this.
Kaledin, General-Chief OF the Cos
ssascck!;s Fo-.cc,I.c...yy commanded an army.
Korniloff, General-A former army
corps commander Made arrangements
with Kerensky to support him by mill
tary force against the extremists, but
was thrown over by Kerensky, who
thereby lost his hold and shortly after
ward his position as president. Present
addresses, both OF Korniloff and Ke-
rensky, unknown.
Lenin-Pen-name Of Kladimir Uly-
anoff. "dyoryahnine" (member OF a
noble fsmily) who has for many years
been director OF the bolshevik party,
chiefly in exile. A man OF highly cul-
tivated mind, but deliberately careless
in dress and personal appearance. Pre-
fers to look like peasant or town
laborer. An honest idealist.
Trotzky-Said to be Of Jewish birth
and really named Braunstein. Has
been a revolutionary writer and lectur-
er for many years, mostly out Of Rus
STA. A man of exceptional ability and
vigor. Probably honest. Has de-
clared that il the Germans refuse the
terms he proposes the Russian army
will take the field again and fight
to the last drop Of their blood"
Those of US who know and like and
try to understand the Russians have
one chief aim just now. That is to
prevent folly and unreasonable resent
ment from making friendship between
them and US difficult, perhaps impos

men" seems to be the popular verdict.
DR.. Garfield hopes to avoid coal
shortage next year by creating
emergency coal-yards to be the
property OF municipalities in which they
are placed. 1t is to be hoped that the
administration will not put off its
solution until freezing weather again
descends next year.

THE WAR TO BE DECIDED ON
WESTERN FRONT

AT least it looks that way. Every
day the papers contain advice that both
the Entente troops and the central
powers are massng for great Battle.
The Germans have transferred all
available troops from the Russian front
to the French Belgian battle line. The
allies have not been idle-are expecting
the onslaught and declare themselves
ready. The weather has cleared, the
ground dried out and any morning we
may expect the announcement to be
flashed over the wires that the Titanic
struggle has commenced. Knowing
the great strategic advantage of re-
ceivlng. rather than giving the attack.
the allied troops are doubtless waiting
for the Germans to start the offensive.
The allies know, too, that time fights
on their side. They can afford to wait
because they grow stronger every day.
Stronger in man power, gun and
munition power. The central powers
have passed the zenith Of their re-
sources in all these respects.
For the Germans to win in the war
they must win in this fight. To fight
to a stand still will not do for them.
They must win. They must take
Paris to win the war. Not so with the
allies. In the event Of draw they
still win an advantage. They are the
stronger in all respects, and will be
better prepared to go into the next
battle. Not so with the Tentonic forces.
They will be weaker in every
succeeding battle. The weaker side
can not stand the wearing out process.
That the Germans should win decisive
victory is unthinkable, if not impossible.
The Germans have lost over million
men on the French front and have
never gained decisive victory have
been badly eaten number OF times.
That intangible but valuable asset,
called morale, is with the allied troops.
He whose cause is just is thrice
armed" and the allied troops have a
deepseated conviction that they are
fighting the battle of justice for all
humanity. 1t is slowly soaking into
the German soldiers hide that he is
being made to fight for an end that
means power and plumber.
The Germans can not win. They
lost the war when they retreated from
the Marne. Had they captured Paris
on that first great drive they would I'M
doubleday have won and Germanism,
with all that it means, would have been
imposed on the whole world. Some
force, call it what you will, we call it
the Great Unknown, decreed that it
was best for mankind that Germany
should loose, and she will.

To begin with, we must not--as
most people here still do, fancy think
OF men like Lenine, Trotzky, Chickerin
and Litvinoff as men Of no account,
mere mob leaders, hooligans. Lenine
is a student, thinker, writer. He is
we'll known by reputation to the mass
OF the people in the north of Russia;
they look up to him as the man who
made the revolution; they almost ven
crate him. His policy appeals to them.
Russians always like extremes. The
bolshevik program is: Let the peas
ants take the land from the landowners,
who have abused their stewardship.
Let the factory workers take the fac
tories, keeping the owners to manage
them and share on just basis in the
profits"
As to the war, the bolshevikis said:
THE responsibility rests upon all gov
ernments. No people wish it, only
rulers and governing classes All
peoples desire peace. Some one must
begin to make peace. If we begin all
will follow. Here goes" They never
had any intention Of rating" as al
most everybody in England so gener-
ously imagined. wrote on December
81 in reply to query as to what |
thought would happen at Brest-Litovsk:
They have proposed terms which
there is no likelihood of the German
oligarchy accepting. When they find
this out what will they dor If Trotzky
is, as English people generally believe,
paid by Germans, he will try to induce
the Russian people to let Germany dc
as she pleases; I think he will in that
case stand a good chance OF being torn
to pieces. II he is as sincere as he is
clever Che has-startling as it may
appear-a wider knowledge and pro-
badly clearer comprehension OIL
foreign countries than either Mr.. Bal
four or Viscount Grey of Fallodon) he
will, upon the discovery that the Huns
are tricking him, fly into rage and
advise the Russians to say: Very we'll,
then, we will go on with the war"
That is what has happened so far.
Chaos there is still, but we need no,
be hopeless about it. Its causes are:
first, misrule under the old system;
secondly, a nation following its i'm.
pulses instead oil keeping to con
ventional lines. That the following o.
these impulses will benefit humanity
there is no reason to doubt. The
French revolution struck shackles of
the mind Of man; so will the Russian
revolution. You may say that as soor
as one set OF letters are broken mar
consents to the clamping on Of some
other set. That is true, but the genera
tendency, nevertheless, is ward
liberty. Unfortunately, liberty i:
never we'll organized" II borrow thai
aresting phrase from General Smuts)
The processes of freedom are seldom
accomplished without bloodshed, dis
orders and a period of experimental
chaos That is the period through
which Russia is passing now.

THE LORDS ANSWER TO THE
KAISER'S PRAYER

Well Kaiser, Mr.. Kaiser
1t is very plain to see
That you started on the warpath
Without consulting me.
When YOU looked for partners
For your nefarious work
No one would join you
But the devil and the Turk.
Yes. the devil is your ally,
With all his new machines,
Liquid fire and poison gas
And treacherous submarines.
You murdered little children,
Yes drowned them in the sea
And when you see your finish
Come asking aid from me.
Go call your Zeppelins out
Tomorrow night at 'leven
For when you tackled Uncle Sam
You declared war on Heaven.
It is good to see our Uncle Sam
With his battle flag unfurled
He has always done his duty
For freedom of the world.
If Edison needs all my lightning
Sure he can have it free,
To send your hellish submarines
To the bottom OF the sea.
And when the war is over
You'll have no place to dwell
Unless your ally, Satan,
Will deed you part OF hell.

AUTO VITAL FACTOR
 IN SELLING BONDS

Tn the patriotic activities of the na- tion the automobile has filled an in- valuable place." says John N. Willys, president of Willys- Overland, Inc.
 We Americans recently sold five billion dollars worth of government bonds to nine million people within a period of thirty days. A fair estimate is that half million automobiles were directly employed in making this achievement possible. Also a short time ago most of us took little time off and raised in a week a hundred million as a preliminary help to the Red Cross.
 Naturally, we saved time and pro- noted efficiency using automobiles in this work, a few hundreds of thousands of them at least. We have just built a group of great cantonment cities completely equipped, and with room enough to house million men. II
 would have taken us six to nine months longer without the automobile, | a contractor told me, and he had built two of the biggest cantonments I am talking about the passenger car now And these are some of it's emer- gency uses.
 But what of the doctor who is called out in the night? What of the | farmer who must hurry to town for his seeder or his harvester; the busi-
 ness man who must catch a train | These, too, are emergency uses. IT total, they call out every day probab- | ly more automobiles than we slial
 ever call into play for any, concerted national need.

veloped the automobile to the point

 reorganization of the various units, with greatly simplified construction throughout, has so evenly distributed
 the weight of each one of these new cars that there is hardly 50 pounds diff ference in the weight that is carried
 by the front and rear wheels when ton
 neau is occupied. The elimination of many parts, due to, new and improved designs, has made the new Studebaker cars notable for their light weight
 The reason why good balance was sought for and secured was to give the cars safety on the open road at high speeds by preventing bouncing and swaying about. A side-sway, in some

GOOD BALANCE AND
 LIGHT WEIGHT AIM
 IF STUDEBAKER CO,

In reviewing the progress that has been made in automobile designing, the results secured by engineers in the di- rection of proper balance and light weight deserve big share of attention. These two things-the aim of all good automobile engineers-are synonymous with roadability, riding comfort, tire economy and low maintenance costs. When the motor car industry was in it's earlier stages, not much considera- tion was paid to the problem of good balance. There was often difference of many hundreds of pounds between the amount of weight that was carried by the rear and front wheels. Auto mobile engineers generally were of the opinion that it was impossible to get cars to the point where the front and rear construction would be practically evenly balanced
 Almost Perfect Balance
 By reason of long study, backed by many years of manufacturing experi- ence, Studebaker engineers have de-

INDIAN POPULATION GROWS
 (yNArll

The Indian population of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, is about 350000, or, roughly, one in every 231 of the whole population. The num- bers are increasing slowly. In 1916 the birth rate was 31.S5 per 1000 and the death rate only 23.33. Of the one time savage Indians of our country, four times as many now live in modern houses as do in primitive tepees, tents mad othter temporary structures, and all but 50,000 wear modern dress. About three-fourths of the North American Indian children are in public or mis- sion schools, but 70 per cent of the whole number still cannot read or write English.

adopted lighter, stronger and better steels in their product and at the same time have secured far better roadabil-
 ity than the bulky machines of the past. The new Studebaker light four
 weighs about 2400 pounds; the light six balances the scales at 2S00 pounds, and the big six weighs a little over 5000 pounds.

instances, is almost as bad as a 'side-swipe." Then, too, it was appre- ciated that even balance and light weight are essential to tire economy, preventing uneven wear on the tires and, naturally, reducing tire expense as a consequence. An improperly bal anced motor car means a constant source of trouble, because of the un- even wear and excessive strain on all moving parts.
 Heavy Cars the Rule
 In the earlier days only the heaviest of cars could be depended upon to hold the roa dat fast speeds. Weighing 5000 pounds or more, their mere avoir- dupois alone was responsible for their steady riding. By reason of good bal ance, Studebaker engineers have
