RUSSIA A TASK

Difficulty besets the Government
of the North and its Allied advisers
in their attempt to bring order out
of the chaos of nine months of Boil
shevik regime in the Archangle prov
vince Slowly but surely, the task is
going forward, but no one denies it is
difficult job.
One problem the Allies confront is
how to arouse the Russians to work
for their own regenration and to
join in the task of shaking off the
grip of the Bolshiviki. Urging them
to do so the Siverncle Utro, publish
ed here. saws: Esq
"'The French, British and American
soldiers came here from all parts OF
the world to fight for the freedom
and happiness of this country. The
Russian people look upon the Allies
with envy, with the eyes of beggar
watching a rich neighbor, and they
are making but little effort themsel-
yes to strive for a happier and freer
life. They expect that the others, the
Allies for instance, will fight for
them.
Russia is now divided into two
camps" declared the Voxroshdenie
Sievera. Zone is on the side of the
monarchists, the Bolshiviki and the
Germans; the other, all the demo-
cratic elements of Russia supported
by the allies. The Bolsheviki try to
persuade the population that the al
lied intervention aims to restore
monarchy, but the facts show the
contrary Russia must. fully realize
that the aim of the allies is to lend
their assistance for the regenration
of Russia on sound and democratic
basis"

We are heartily in accord with the
suggestion of permitting the supreme
allied war council to tell the German
peace note writers what they should
do in future. We want to~see the
official signature of every nation at
war with Germany affixed to any and
all documents that go to the enemy.
This will insure unity of purpose and
thought in the disposition of the enc.
my and thus preclude the possibility
of any misunderstanding among the
allies.

THEIR FAvoRITE OBJECT

The Badische poison gas plant at
Mannheim, in the Rhine Valley, is
favorite object for "strafing" by the
British airmen. Three consecutive
raids upon it by night have extensive
ly damaged it. The raiders bombs
partly destroyed the sulphuric acid
and nitric vitriol factory and the ami
line department. Other building of
the plant were wrecked.
The other factories at Mannheim
nave been heavily bombed eleven
times
a heavy death roll has attended
numerous air attacks on Cologne and
Coblentz where the Germans are be-
ing heavily repaid in their own coin
for their murderouse work on Lon
don and Paris. The factories and rail
way station at Saarbrucken have
been bombed ten times by the Brit.

| The effects of these raids have
been of incalculable benefit to the
Allies. One of the first was the COM
pulsory withdrawal by the Germans
of a large number of their airplanes
from the fighting front for the de-
tense of the Rhine.
But greater gain has been the
profound and widespread depression
caused to the German people, the
"Home 'front.'" to use the phrase of
Ludenroff Captured letters from plac-
es as widely separated as Mannheim
and Cologne testify to the terror and
panic inspired by the raids among the
civil population Well-to-do families,
in increasing numbers, are seeking
the temporary security of more dis
tant inland towns. There are indica-
lions that the flight of the wealthy
is causing intense resentment among
the working population who, being
for the most part engaged in war in
dustries are exposed to almost night

ton, and on top OF it lies the further
responsibility of the hungry neutrals
and continued provisioning of our
own vast army in Europe
The "Home-Army" of this country
will have this battle to fight--as they
have fought the similar battle so
victorious thus far.
1t has been Americas responsibility
during the past year to keep from ia
mishing the 120,0O0,000 people of the
Allies. Their need came first; they
must be sustained no matter what it
costs. In spite of all difficulties they
were kept going through the most
critical year Of the war, and America
was able to assure them last summer
the supplies needed to maintain
their health comfort and courage.
After the war they will continue
looking for help; there will be crops
raised over night.
But after the war the people of neu.
trail lands will also clamor for food
from America and will not be denied
There are 180,000,0O0 people who are

people whose commerce has been de-

production has been Slapped by war,
Roumania, the Ukraine, the Baltic
provinces; the people whose civil
cation has collapsed; the Russians of
every territory all are needy, many
will starve unless help comes quickly.
At all times the United States has
been eager to help those who were

but the needs of the Allies came first
When the war ends when the barriers
are raised and shipping is set free,
America will not deaf to their en-
treaties.
For humanity's sake we must help
them; for the large self-interest of
the future we should aid in their re-
storation. Building our own trade,
strengthening our own resources in
the ecomic struggle that will follow
the war, would be reason enough, but
there is greater reason in the soul Of
things.
For Germany tried to starve into
submission the peoples on her Dor
ders; America aims to win their
friendship. America believes in the
New World in which all nations are
knit together in one, in which all sit
at a. common table. The world will
know belief by our practice. Through
food conservation and sharing we
shall prove our faith, prove once that
democracy is fit to hold sway on this
earth.
This is the food conservatin pro-
pram for the coming year; to pro-
vide for shipment half as much again
of the necessary food as were ex-
ported last year; while the war lasts
to maintain the health comfort and
courage of the Allies; when the war
ends, to rescue and restore all feeble
folk who sit at the common table.
