 No Cause for Alarm"
 Do not be alarmed as to the fut- ure of Russia. Some of my newspaper friends are taking frantic alarm that the Russian national debt may be rep. udiated. Well, it hasn't been repudi ated yet, and very much doubt wheth- ed the Russia that is emerging from this turmoil will ever repudiate any obligation. even though it may have been incurred in trying to hold the Czar on his throne. A" we need is great patience, and a {. eat fairness, and great sympathy. Russia will soon learn that capital and labor must go hand in hand. Russia's vast re- sources must be developed for the ben eft of the Russian people. That will be realized by the Russians quite as rapidly as we are realizing that the CiAp1OyCAo VI AuUO1 IuuSL COOQCldtC with labor to bring about the best pos sible results. The freedom of Rus sia was as inevitable as the natural laws governing the rotation of the earth. The uniting of all forces in Russia in a democratic social system is just as inevitable.
 They say, "The Russian democracy is red!" Yes; full of good, red blood But you'll find it isn't yellow!
 Mark my words, if the present pro gram of the Bolsheviki, the common people of Russia, is not successful in aiding the common people of Austria and Germany to break down their au- tocracies. the Russian soldiers will be fighting again
