The country we are in now is hilly
and covered with trees except the
small valleys where the French do
some farming. The tools they use
are crude old fashioned ones, and
the farming here is more on the ''iE-
tensive" rather than the extensive
order.
They use mostly milk COWS and
steers to do their plowing and other
farm work. All this seems odd.

SEND CHEERFUL LETTERS

Certain types OF letters ought
never to be sent to the men at the
front. One is that written by the
selfish or thoughtless woman whose
closely written pages are blurred
with her tears. and taken up with
her own sorrow in having her soldier
so far from home. and her plea for
him to come back at once. since
everything is going wrong without
him. One OF the Young Mems Chris
tian association secretaries in France
tells OF a promising young chap who
came back from leave with every ap-
pearance of having been drinking
heavily.
You see," the young soldier told
the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion man, got word from moth
er and she was so worried about my
going wrong over here, and so sure
that | had inherited alcoholic ten
dencies from my father, that got
desperately blue, and went on a
spree to forget all about it."

LENINE TRoTzKY

The Bolsheviki. II is familiar
name, but OF recent origin In this
country. The whole nation has been
interested in and puzzled by II. II
Is divided into two parts, Trotzky
and Lenine, both new characters In
world affairs and OF obscure and
grating origin. Americans have
been patient with their eccentric ac-
tions and have borne with them
through trying times, even when
their motives were attacked and
they we're accused Of being instru-
ments in the hands OF Germany to
betray Russia Possessed OF assur-
ance far beyond the power OF human
kind to grasp, they have claimed
high ideals and purity OF purpose.
Such is always the case with an as
sassin, and like the william in the
play, when the time was ripe the
point Of their dagger found the
heart Of Russia.
In plain words, Trotzky and Len
inc are nothing more or less than
anarchists, entrusted with a little
temporary power which such
creatures always abuse to the utmost
limit In this case they have been
supported by the peace loving. sim
pie minded peasantry Of the nation.
who have been used as pawn and
betrayed at the first opportunity.
Under the Bolsheviki government
Russia has descended from a mighty
nation Of the earth to a helpless
hulk. cropping and simpering at the
feet OF the worlds greatest tyrant,
while his armies are hurled into a
helpless nation, numbering nom
combatants and plundering the coun-
try, thanks to this pair OF advent
urers, Trotzky and Lenine.
II Russia had fallen down and was
compelled to withdraw from the war,
what will she do now, with her ar
mics disbanded, her leaders in hid
ing, and no one to defend her? Does
she look for sympathy from the iron
heel Of the kaiser? Does the lamb
look for sympathy from the lion?
II she could not pay for war ex-
penses for herself, how will she pay
the indemnity and provinces to the
enemy? Such is the lot OF a nation
OF serfs. They are not fit to govern
themselves, and for the rest OF the
war they are liable to be governed
by their master. When the war Is
over, what OF Russia? She has de-
liberately forfeited every claim OF
protection by the entente, so where
can she look for aid?
