Not Alarmed Over
Russian Collapse
Bv Assolegated Rressl

wASHINGAON, Feb. 12.-How Rus
sia's complete withdrawal from the
war will affect the allies and the Uni
ted States in military way cannot be
accurately estimated at this time
Officials here believe that despite the
fact that on paper the Russian collapse
would seem to give the Germans
great numerical superiority OF troops
on the Western front profess not to
regard the Russian separate peace as
the menace it would appear on paper.
The fact that one million five hun
bred thousand German prisoners will
be free to return to Germany is re-
garded with no alarm at ALL The gen
eral opinion here is that Germany
would be more interested in keeping
these prisoners in Russia rather than
risk having them carry BolshevikI doc
trine back to Germany.

it can be delivered in France-and that
is shipping.
America, by her man-power legisla-
ton, has made 100000 men, between
the ages of 21 and SO liable to mill
tary service, and from these she is
selecting the very best for the field.
Therefore. virtually the only limit to
the expansion of these American armies
is the amount of tonnage available for
their transport and maintenance in
France.
As the American forces on the vest
ern front grow. so do their require
ments in food, munitions and materials
of all kinds increase, and since the AL
lied resources in shipping are strictly
limited. we cannot expect that the very
encouraging figures which have been
given recently will always be obtained
This is a matter which touches us
all very closely. for it cannot be too
clearly understood that every ton of
wood and of raw material which We
draw from the United states for our
own use means that fewer American
soldiers can be sent to France. 1t is
not therefore, only to ward off starNa-
ton. which has ceased to be serious
menace, that economy Of all kinds is
essential, but it is still and will, as
long as the war lasts, be needed in
order that Americas military contribu-
ton to the Allied cause may be increased
and the war thereby shortened.

INTERNATIONAL BANK
PROJECT IS FAVORED
Leading Italian Politician In.
dorses David Lubin's Plan
for Reserve Board
Special Cable to Erening Public Ledger

Special Cable to Erening Public Ledger
CopUi0ht, 1918, by Ncto York Times Co.
Rome, July 5.
Deputy Due Coiona di Cesaro, a lead
ing politician here. speaking to your
correspondent, strongly supported David
Lubin's project for creating an inter
national reserve board on the basis of
the American Federal Reserve Board.
He said he was not a financ!er and had
no technical banking knowledge and
thus could not express an opinion on
the practical working of the proposed
organization. but he was firmly con-
vinced that whatever solution could be
given to the present state of upeasiness
and anxiety about financial conditions in
belligerent countries would be of ad-
vantage to ALL
Lubin's project implies a system of
compensation between countries partici-
pating in the new board that would be
certain either to suppress or greatly
diminish the present individualism
among the Entente tending to draw the
Allies more closely together and form
ing also in the financial field compact
partnership. Therefore, the actualization
of the project would have also great
moral results, facilitating the carrying
out of that broader scheme of the
league OF nations.

GAS ATTACKS NOT SO TERRIBLE
If ONE IS QUICK TO DON MASK
Hyperte Mustard Gas Is Worst for it Sticks Earth and
Weapons, and Burns When One
Touches Them

just as sure protection. and the French
army has comparatively few casualties
from this cause The fact is that they
have all come to slip on their masks at
the first signs of danger. The more eX-
perienCed of the American troops have
learned the same lesson, and gas cases
are rapidly diminishing in casualties.
If new arrivals take to heart what
their gas instructions teach them they
have little to fear from gas of any kind.
All that is needed is to do what they
have been told and do it smartly.
To show what veteran soldiers think
of the matter. let me quote the remark
of a German prisoner taken on Monday
by the Americans at NauX. He was a
meager specimen. but has been forty
months at the front four times wounded
and decorated with the iron cross.
What do the Germans think of gas?
! asked him.
We don't mind it in the least he
replied with a grin. Our lungs have
been trained TO stand worse than that by
the Internal mixture they have given us
the last twelve months in place of to-
baCco"
That he should treat the subject so
lightly is. at least, a fair evidence that,
like their French adversaries. the expe-
ricnced German soldiers do not regard
gas with the same horror which appears
to have been inspired in misinformed
quarters in America.
