POOLING THE PEOPLE

From the Memphis News-Scimliar.
 The German newspapers are evidently having hard time of it keeping the civilian population at home quiet, and to do this they are publishing all manner of lies and falsehoods. Newspapers that were heretofore considered responsible and reliable in Germany have been tell ing their readers all manner of stores about conditions in this country. They would have thoir readers believe that we panic, and ready to quit the struggle at any time. While they denounce Presi- dent Wilson's Baltimore speech, at the same time they interpret it as an ex- hibition of cowardice and a willingness to make peace in any way. A leading newspaper the oter day told it's readers that New York was terror-stricken; that It is surrounded by a barbed-wire fence 62o miles in length. and that 50,00O SOL diers are guarding the port. They cla i'm that our soldiers are afraid to cross the ocean on account of the U-boats, and that swarms of our soldiers are afraid to leave the coast cities for fear that the victorious Germans will land and take possession of them. Such lies may do for while. but surely they will prove boomerang and recoil upon the unprotected heads of those who are send ing them out

THE Russ1AN-GERMAN PEACE

Former Attorney General Jonn w.
 Griggs in the April Forum.
 The Russian people. not merely those of Petrograd or Moscow. but the vast
 masses of northern and southern RUSSIA
 of Finland and Lithunia, ot ukralne'
 of Siberia, nave really had no voice in
 the recent extraordinary political dem-
 on strat;ons made in the name or their entire nationality. They have neither rallied from the Kerensky-Lenine-Tr -Trotz- ky epidemic that has seized them, nor
 succumbed to it. There surely must be in Russia a tremendous impulse of na- tional character which is only in tenn porary disorder
 We must at least look at the present situation in Russia with favorable re- serve of opinion, confident of believing that Russia as nation is still our ally. Nor is this irleconcilable to reason when we make a careful diagnosis of the bol- sheviki fever of the I. w. w. pestilence that has lntruded itself
 Russia, the northern giant of Europe, has not optgrown it's strength of national character; that yiriie. tragic character
 of barbaric force inspired by Peter the Great. It has not disowned the inheri- tance of splendor and intelligence later l impressed upon it by Catherine the Great. Neither has Russia forgotten the ! transition from serfdom to liberty which l Alexander the Second recorded, only 1 later in his reign to return to the temp
 tations of autocracy, for which he Was
 assassinated. It is when we consider the
 quality of national temperament in this giant Russia, the melancholy tendency
 the tragic struggle of this vast nation tc
 emerge ouI of inherited inclinations to a
 clearer understanding of national char acter, that we can weave from the threads of her history pattern that is ldependahly true.
