The B0LSheUiks and Their Opponents

Russia, and still doubt the imminence Of its
downfall Nevertheless. the possibility of the
Bolsheviks falling must be taken account Of
British and French policy, at any rate, mani
testify seeks it. Do the Allies know what is
going to take the place of the Bolsheviks. or
what they intend should take the place Of the
Bolsheviks? 1t is no use for the Allies while
they are working for the overthrow of the
Bolsheviks, the de facto Government Of
Great Russia and undoubtedly the strongest
single political force jim that country. to pro-
fes5 that they have no notion of intervening
in internal Russian afrairs. They are assVn-
ing by deed the responsibility for the Tall
of the Bolsheviks, should that come about
and the chaos that must follow upon that
event. Again, 1t is not profitable for the
Allies to say that they will recognize any
government that succeeds in establishing
itself in Russia. and II is still less profitable
to add the qualifcation--any government
that will declare war on Germany. Nearly
every Russian loathes the Germans, but still
more Russians loathe war. We have seen
enough already in Siberia and at Archangel
of the irreconcilable nature of Russian party
feuds to know that no Russian government Is
likely to be evolved by purely Russian effort
out of the chaos that will succeed the over
throw of the Bolsheviks, except after pro-
longed anarchy; and even so, any such gov
ernment may be at the mercy of the assassin.
HNHE Russian parties that are hoping and
i planning to step into the shoes of the
Bolsheviks will certainly canvass for the
support Of the Allies What will the Allies
say to them? An answer they must have
ready They cannot evade the responsibility
of giving one. Have they yet thought the
matter out? To take one elemental question
which they must decide II 1t is put 70 them,
as put to them II will almost certainly be.
One broad fundamental division parts the
Russian enemies of the Bolsheviks, monarch
list and republican Do the Allies favor a
monarchy for Russian other words. the
restoration OF the Romanoffs-or do they
favor republic? 1t is no use the Allies
saying that this is a question for the Rus
slams themselves to decide. II the Allies have
interviewed. have helped to bring the Bol,
sheviks down. and are the one solid military
fact in Great Russia. II may be- although II
Is far too early to be dogmatic that the mill
tary problems of Allied intervention in Rus
sia will turn out to be less formidable than
was expected, but the political problems will
still remain. arduous. gigantic. momentous
for the history Of the world. Have the Allies
political policy for Russia? II SO. what

CRYPTIC CUBA AND THE HUN

PRESUMABLY the Kaiser's solicitous
attendants keep clipping bureau for
him. Presumably they have duly cata.
logued a Cuba envelope. But it is safe to
wager that the imperial mind is not per.
mitted to ponder long If at ALL on the in.
formation contained therein. What passes
in the Junker for intelligence could not
stand the strain. Even IL Wilhelm III be
mad, he would become much madder If
allowed to play with those unsettling clip
pings for more than the briefest interval.
Hun savants have mastered cuneiform
and the cursive script of the Hittites. but
what sense could they possibly make out
of the history of n nation that owes its
existence to- an act of renunciation by a
vastly powerful neghbor? What meaning
can that weaker countrys voluntary es.
pousal Of its parents" war aims have for
them? Above all. how could the latest
chapter in the Impossible" tale be grasped?
Cuba has offered the United States
contingent of troops for the fray. Presi-
dent Menocal has been thanked, with the
suggestion that they should be devoted to
safeguarding the Pearl of the Antilles"
and with the implication that his great
nelghbor does not really need them just
yet. Here, indeed. is desperately cryptic
data. The Kaiser knows perfectly we'll
how he would answer the Ukraine If that
country of Its own volition offered him aid.
Even his bitterest enemies would agree
that sealing up that puzzling Cuban en-
velope would be humanitarian act. No
body wants the Hun to become any crazier
than he already is

tried repeatedly to obtain from the other
Allies n concrete expression Of their in
tentions with regard to Russia and has
failed.
1t is because Of the clearness with
which the situation was summarized by
the Manchester Guardian that we print on
this page the view OF Russia recently ex.
pressed by that ablest OF British liberal
journals.
At the instant when the war ends Russia
will become the great problem OF the times

resources and her wealth may serve to
complicate the details of peace agreements.

this time the better off we shall be later.

Owing to the shortage of sugar,
the State Director of Home Econo-
mics suggests that we use equal
weight of corn syrup and sugar for
preserves and marmalades, making
three-fourths syrup instead of using
all sugar. She says. 1--WE have
tested this with gooseberries, here
at the university, and the product
was smoother than preserve made
with all sugar. There are two
methods of combining the ingredi-
ents. One is to make blended
syrup of the corn syrup and sugar
and cook the fruit in it. The other
is to add the sugar to the gently
simmering fruit, cook gently until
1t is dissolved, then add corn syrup,
equal weight, pound for pound, with
the sugar. and boil fast. This is
important, as otherwise the product
may not be of good color Corn
syrup has been used for many years
in Great Britain for many years in
the making of jams and jellies."
