We should keep constantly in mind
two fundamental facts about Russia
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger
First, that We know only the mer-
est fraction of the truth; and, second
that she is in the birth-throes of the
mightiest new nation ever born full
grown, a modern Minerva from the
head-not of Jupiter, but of Mars. The
second fact accounts for her self-ab-
sorption at this terrible time when the
whole earth is rocking to its founda-
tion under the greatest cataclysmic
moral earthquake that ever shook the
human race. We can see nothing but
the war from here. But the Russians
are still dizzy from their leap out of a
Bastile dungeon into the dazzling light
of full liberty"

THE AIMS OF THE WAR

What after all is the wars aim? The
question is asked again and again
Successive statements of the Allied
aims have been necessarily modified by
the flow of events so that the earlier
ones are really becoming obsolete
The Manchester, England, Guardian,
the great Liberal journal of England
thus and well defines the Allied aims
as understood in England:
Our supreme aim is a very large
One-one that it is hardly possible tc
secure by any mere treaty. 1t is, in
a word, a different world. We work,
as Mr.. Asquith said at the beginning
of the war, for a real partnership of
nations, for a system which would ren-
der possible disarmament and in par
ticular the universal and agreed abol-
ition of compulsory military service.
We work for these ends by means of
a League of Nations, which must
agree to adjust international disputes
in part by judicial, in part by what
may broadly be called Parliamentary
methods. We work for a measure of
national freedom which will so far
condent the peoples of Europe with
their political position that there will
be no sore places breaking out afresh
as in pre-war days. We work for the
territorial adjustments, based on the
will of the populations affected, which
are required to achieve this content
ment. We work finally for restitution
and reparation for the nations injured
by aggression. These are the points
We shall wish to discuss. Some of
them Germany has said she will never
discuss. AS soon as she will unsay
that victory will have been so far
achieved that discussion can begin"

THE TURK AND THE GERMAN

Eleanor Franklin Egan, in an article
With the British in Bagdad," publish
ed in the Saturday Evening Post, con-
trasts the conduct of the "unspeak-
able Turk" in this war with that OF
the Germans.
Il was never more surprised in my
life" says she, than when | was told
by British officer that in Mesopota-
mia the British do not require gas and
liquid fire because the Turks had
steadfastly refused to employ such
things against them. On both sides
the Mesopotamian war has been fought
with shot and shell, and so far as is
known-aside from the uncertainty as
to the fate of British prisoners in
Turkish hands-the Turks have brok-
en- no established rules and have re-
fused throughout to adopt modern Ger
man methods of inhuman terrorism
and frightfulness. They have observ-
ed customary courtesies and decencies
with regard to the wounded and the
dead on the battlefield; they have re-
spected the Red Cross as their own
Red Crescent has been respected; they
have exchanged captured medical men
without question; and have displayed
throughout tendency to maintain the
conventionalties and to uphold the
ethics of what was once known as civ
ilized warfare"

maiD.-It isn't always the regiment

The outstanding "Dandies" reached
France along with another regiment

This wholesome situation. from my

The Scrubs have been on the battle
line nearly a month. They smashed
crack German units in the advance
with the Australians of the Fourth of
July. They are holding a most i'm
portant line, not as students in prac.
tice but as tried and trusted veterans.
They have to wear their gas masks
under their chins constantly. Their
bivOuac is the objective of bombers
and gunners. Their uniforms show
the mud stains of the trenches and

tear from German barbed wire.

Well, occasionally one of the Scrubs |
has the tremendous privilege of max |
ing trip with a message back, quite |
a way back, to the camp where the !
Dandies are chatting in restraint.
Here, after splitting reminiscently a
few times, he recounts to the Dandies
his war experiences.
He tells them what a barrage is like
how it makes the ground waltz and
dip under your feet and how the earth
ahead of you seems to be a millian
crazy mountains all hopping around
and humping into each other. He
