with German papers branding the dc
mobilization OF the Russian army az
sham maneuyer and with the Ger
man people In general trying to fig
ure out the Russian foreign secre
tary, Leon Trotzky, chaos has again
developed as far as an intelligent
grasp Of the real Russian situation Is
concerned.
The mllltarists are reported as
contemplating seriously a resumption
Of hostilities against Russia This
would be playing into the very hands
Of the Bolsheviki who could immedi.
ately point out TO the German people
how their dverlords, exemplifying
the much.vauntcd war OF defense"
were attacking q defenseIess people.
1t is hardly probable that the Hun
masters would take such step.
To assume that Trotzky has trick.
ed the enemy in apparently ordering
his troops disbanded and secretly
keeping them intact IS really a
stretch OF the imagination. TrotIky
hardly possesses sufficient executive
ability to connlve so deeply. II such
has been done, II is brains other than
Trotzky's which engineered 1t.
The future attitude OF Trotzky
gives Germany concern. He Is likely
10 do almost anything, just as the
whim seizes him Several months
ago, We heard him loudly declaiming
that Russia would never lay down
her arms TO n peace which involved
the surrender of Courland and Lith-
uania. He ravcd Of a holy war" He
predicted n social revolution. And
yet he supincly quit at Brest-Litoysk.
All his ardor was apparently lost.
And now, he is given credit for stag.
ing sham rehabilitation.
The allied people have long borne
with Russia. They backed kerensky
in every way possible. They express.
cd confidence in him TO save the cit
uation even after he had abolished
the death penalty and saturated the
Russian army with treason and re-
volt. His SUCCESSORS, the Bolsheyiki,
were given silent moral support b.
many people in America. It was
hoped that they might bring order
out Of disorder; that they might at
last redeem Russia as fighting en-
tily.
Hut tho time has come when Rus
sia might as well be forgotten, once
and for all The vagarics OF It's de
iacto rulers, their topsy.turvy tactics
and the lack Of efficient leadership
among the great body Of the people
have made the country the doormat
OF Europe
If think We must, let US devote
these thoughts to the winning OF this
war-not TO how much assistance
Russia can give to the allies, tut to
how much the United States can rem
der This alone will speed victory.
All other considerations are an abso-
Lutte waste of time.

The New Colonial

John Fl. Christ, of Philadelphia, who
purchased the Colonial Hotel property,
Pacific and Schellenger avenues, and
the two cottages on Cedar avenue, just
east Of Pacific avenue, all owned form
erly by Joseph Geisenberger, has con-
tracted with Frank Larcombe to over
haul these buildings and premises, and
put everything in irst-class condition.
The name of the hotel will be changed
to the "New Colonial", after being
thoroughly repaired and reprinted, and
all unsightly distractions in the rear
removed or obliterated. A cement
driveway circle will be laid from Pa
cifc avenue, leading to the Colonial
storage building, once occupied by War
ren McAllister as a paint shop. The
Electric Light Co., has now leased this
structure for the storage of electrical
material. Hedges will be planted and
f1owerboxes stationed at different places
around the hotel, and all in all, the
improvements will be most agreeable
and acceptable. A similar complete
plan of transformation Is now under
way on Cedar avenue, where Mr.. Lar
combe has a force of twenty men at
work, converting the store rooms into
apartments. There will be four apart
ments on the 1st floor of each COT
tage. The ground on which these cot
tages stand has a frontage of so feet
all of which will be properly adorned
with grass, trees and flower beds. The
intention of Mr.. Larcombe is to rival
the Edgeton Inn, as far as hedge, grass
and flower touches are concerned.
