clearer another it is that the Russian people. as a mass, incapable of governing themselves. and people who cannot do that incapable of lending assistance against a enemy. The establishment of the Russian empire wouYd promise more for the allies than any other turn of events in that country. that Russia turning toward the central There strong element in Petrograd friendly to Germany, and that element stood close to the emperor The allies naturally felt relief when the revolution swept the friends of Germany out of positions of power There is doubt that the Grand Duke and his supporters in sympathy with the ideals of the Germans rather than with those of the allies and if there other considerations it might be supposed that his ascendancy would mean central powers
 But there is one other consideration and the most powerful one. It has arisen within the year. it sists of German aggression in Russia. The designs of Germany against that country have been made plain Self defense must therefore, imposed upon any Russian government capable of making a defense Russia has now much more reason for going to with Germany than it had in defense of Serbia. Then it only quarrel for influence in the Balkans; it would be fight for existence.
 We would much prefer ally Russia democracy, but there can be such thing, and it is humiliating to that ever supposed that there could be such thing. Only an absolute Russia be of any service to the allies and ouy absol ltsm Russia from the Germans or f't itself

It all right for them to name a street after the president to change Avenue Fl Trocadero to Avenue du President Wilson. They could name towns and squares for him. He subjected to no risk when the University of Paris created new and special degree. Doctor Causa Honors" to be conferred upon him alone. As an American citizen the president sustain all these honors and dis functions and still preserve his brthright

 We have suspicion that the syndic innocent and grateful himself and with the intentions in the world has been put up to this by designing American politicians with the fear of third term before them that it is part of insidous scheme secure the repatriation of the president his disqualification for further disturbance of the waters of American politics.

The World,s New Holiday

It was a grand and solemn rather than glorious Fourth It could not be otherwise It was day made sacred to patriotism and not day of rejoicing over things done; it was period for sports and hilar:y or day of recreation of the body while our creation of loyalty for the increase of that which had been aroused by year of which has been daily brought closer With every casualty list the tide creeps nearer to doorsteps.
 If we could not have been stirred by the Fourth yesterday we would have been devoid of love of country; we would have deserved the loss of our country and of ,our freedom; would have been the stuff of which slaves made.
 It was sober, day and not day for exultation, as our Fourths have been in the past-memorials of victories won. It a day for the strengthening in which men have ever engaged; a day of self searching to see if there anything lacking, and, if SO. to make it good.
 It was a day that brought the world closer to- gether; that knit the struggling nations. Hitherto in foreign countries where official and unofficial repre- sentatves of the United States have gathered the Fourth of July the day has been observed. with the people and officials of the country friendly lockers. Yesterday, in France in England, in Italy those became participants in the celebrations The day meant as much to them to Americans
 It longer stood for the successful resistance of the American colonies nearly century and half ago It stood the successful resistance of great nations against tyranny next year in year still to come. We have given the world new holiday with the name of an old one.

Service Honors

We printed yesterday morning list of service honors the distribution to American soldiers of recog hilton of the courage and sef-sacrifice of Americans m France. In the first list reported in communique of General Pershng. there 133 names. and in the latter 62. We have gone them carefully and have found in them additional for pride in Amercanism. The greatest satisfaction one derives from persual the list is not that these individual men courageous and sef-saerificing, but that what they did, and what they dared only out cropping incidents of the and selfsacrfices )f all the Americans It would be but poor satisfaction we believed that these men the only ones vho had acquitted themselves in the stirring days ,f the last three months. They the representa- lives only of the heroism of their comrades.
 They the men who, year or two years ago, engaged in peaceful pursuits and with knowl ,dge of and with training They could not oresee that within few short months they would be brought face to face with the most highly trained sodiery the world has known. under the leader ship of men who have highly specialized in the art of Perhaps if they could have foreseen. they would have been appalled, and disheartened
 Their conduct, though, has treasured and has given greater confidence in all American boys. We know what they will do when they go to the front and that, with the millions shall send. Germany cannot stand against them. We were not sure before that mere preponderance of numbers and resources would be sufficient But sure that it will be- and that ultimately America will triumph over autocracy.
 It will be noticed in the lists that General Persh- ing has sent that there is record of the marvellous achievements of which had been apprised by sen- satonal correspondents No service honors have been bestowed upon those paadins who, single handed and alone have surrounded and prisoners whole battallons of Germans and led them back to the American trenches. Such things may have happened but they have not been brought to the attention who bestow service honors else the latter Heved that those achievements alone were sufficient honor without further mention of them.
 The who have been listed all have done human thngs they have performed their duty n was roughly thrust before them. It may have been the business of cleaning out a machine gun nest; h may have been the of wounded comrade lying helpless in No-man's Land; it may have been the holding of important post against largely superior forces. But 1t was. anyhow the doing of the things that set for them to do, and doing them with the full consciousness of the peril nvoved with the knowledge that they offering whether It should be accepted not. the supremest sacrifice.
 The service honor list printed yesterday morning in every part of this country. We wish all Americans everywhere. had had the opportunity 10 read 1t carefully. If yesterday the most glorious Fourth ever celebrated.

COLONEL LOCATES
 SOME HONEST FOLK

Among the members of the Kiwanis club entertained by MT. and Mrs. Merely at Celery-Vig park Tuesday night were Colonel and Mrs. E. M. Lamson. As Colonel Lamson and his wife intended to spend the Fourth of July at Iron Springs, as usual. he had the money in his pocket with which to buy railroad tickets and pay other expenses at Iron Springs. During a lull in the storm Tuesday night he de- cided to leave the park and go home while going was good. While crank ing his car his pocketbook slipped from his pocket and he did not miss 1t until he reached home. The next morning he phoned Mrs. Merely and told her of his loss A few minutes later Mrs. Merely phoned back ther- the pocketbook had been found and was safe in her hands. Needless to say, Colonel Lamson is pretty thor oughly convinced of the honesty of CeleryVig, the park, and its employees.

Charles Ray whom many think is destined to become the most talked Of male star in pictures shows today and tomorrow at the Lamara in his very latest Paramount release. Play ing the Game" a story of the wild son of millionaire who is mighty handy he has killed a man and he takes to the west coming to Arizona where he eventually in disguise works on his own fathers ranch as a COW puncher. Of course the right girl at the right moment shows up and he sees that the path he has been following leads but to one end. All would be conventional if the course of true love keeping pace with tradition throws a shoe and the lovers have one nick of a time get ting away to flying start
 Playing the Game" is one of those mile-a minute comedy dramas with so much action and so much that is familiar to the AriZonian that it will have a strong local appeal.
 With the feature will be shown an other of the remarkable Lincoln series pictures by the wonderful Benjamin Chapin who lived and died as near a counterpart of the immortal Lincoln as it is possible for one man to re- semble another in thought and action This great educational feature is added to the regular program.

THE GIANT FLOWER

From the far fields of Picardy Across the miles of land and sea, Born the flying winds along, Borne on the flying winds along, mighty song, a crash of song. It is the clear, stupendous cry Sent from the souls of men who die. Through all the thunders of the fray It pierces like an arrowy ray, Lfes own eternal harmony, From deaths red fields, in Picardy Out on the fields of Picardy The march of death goes royalty; Through highways of supreme despair. With huddled forms tossed here and there, The standards of immortal life Float proudly over waves of strife, Bearing the spirits recompense- Where, standing to that high defense. A living wall of destiny Men hold the lines, in Picardy Oh, sacred fields of Picardy Oh, dread, tumultuous Calvary Through your incredible stress appears A vision of the golden years When from this seed in Gods own hour, Shall spring at last the giant flower Rose of the world, serene and free Sown on the fields of Picardy- The red, scared fields of Picardy

The kick of COW caused a fire that burned Chicago to the ground. The tolling of bells is said to have made a wandering youth named Dick Wilmington lord mayor of London. And the turn of deal of poker brought T. Boggs Johns into the most momentous and thrilling year of his life. Not that T. Boggs Johns would have had things turn out differently. He was tickled to death to become the butler in the home of his business partner. There is a riot of mirth and laughter with Taylor Holmes as T. Boggs Johns in "A Pair of Sizes showing at the Columbia for today and tomorrow, and this production is con- ceded to be the best that Taylor Holmes has ever appeared in.

Two operations were performed
before Private Frank Sutterman, a
former Rock Island resident, could
return to the fighting line overseas
prior TO the wars end. according to
letters received by his cousin, Jul

fact that he was in action after
being wounded According to his
own letters and word sent his rela-
tives in Rock Island, Sutterman
was struck by a German bullet on
Sept. 81, but two successful opera
tiOns placed him in fighting trim
shortly after. In a letter dated Oct.
81. he told Of being once more on

LAYOFF METHOD
Necessary 10 Cut Down Force,
COmmandant Says-0ld Effic-
lent Men Given Preference.

Employees at Rock Island arsenal
whose services are not needed here
after are to be offered, if possible,
positions in other manufacturing
plants, according to a statement is
sued by Colonel Leroy T. HiIlman,
commandant.
Women employees who have hus-
bands in the war Will be retained on
the island payroll as long as pos
sible, Colonel Hillman states. Men
workers who are the least efficient
and those of shortest service will
be the first to be let out.
Colonel Hillman's statement is
appended:
LAS a result of the signing of the
armistice with Germany, it has
been necessary for the government
to suspend the manufacture of
large orders for military supplies.
The undersigned has recently been
in Washington with a view to ar
ranging for the continuation of as
much work as possible at the ar
senal. 1t will be impossible to
operate the plant at anything like
the capacity that we have had dur
ing the war, and if will, conse-
quently, be necessary to reduce the
number of employees a very cOnsid-
cradle amount. 1t is my desire to
make this reduction slowly, so that
there may be no hardships inflicted
on the employees of the arsenal, who
have so Loyalty responded to my re
quests for production during the
war
This matter, however, is brought
to the attention OF all employees in
order that those who may have OPP
portunities to secure positions else
where may do so. The employment
office of the arsenal will endeavor
to keep in touch with commercial
manufacturers who are increasing
their forces, so that employees may
make use of this information in Sc
curing other positions. In laying
off employees on account of lack of
work, the least efficient and those
of shortest service will be, in the
usual case, laid off first
THE greatest reduction in orders
at the present time is in the har-
ness, equipment and woodworking
shops, due to the fact that the
amount of harness and targets al
ready completed is far in excess of
that required"

American soldiers in France are
not without their Injuries in the
way of tasty articles of food. Many
of their spare pennies are spent
with the vendors Of French pastries
around the camps and in the streets
of the town where they are quarter
ed. Several scenes of the boys en-
joying the fancy pastries of the
French women are shown in the
second United States official war
picture, Americas Answer" which
will be seen at the Dreamland the
atre Friday.
Camp kitchen scenes show many
good things being prepared for the
soldiers, and it is easily seen that
the inner man of the American
doughboy can have no complaint to
make and that the government is
looking out for the welfare of its
fighting men in the department of
the kitchen.
