Why Soviets VIII Survive Bolsheviki

In the American public mind little
distinction has been perceived be-
tween the Bolshevik government
and the Soviet Republic. The
Bolsheviki are q wing OF the Rus
sian Social Democratic party whose
program found favor with the peo-
pie speaking through their soviets.
It may be that the Bolsheviki have
lost popular favor. in which case
the support OF the Soviets will sure
ly be transferred to some other
group of political leaders--the Men
shevik Social Democrats or perhaps,
the Social Revolutionists. But to
look for the early disappearance OF
the Soviet system, 70 expect that
the laborious masses are ready to
give up their power to the
propertied clsss-that is. indeed, too
much. Nothing of this sost can
come to pass without bloodshed on
a great scale. Perhaps a twelfth
of the Russian people hate the
Soviet system because under it they
have lost their political power and
their property. But IL we undertake
to pull their political chestnuts out
OF the fire we may become embroiled
with the remainder of the Russian
people-From Russian Character
in Transition" by Edward Alsworth

Six air mail planes have been

out by the Postoffice Department.

routes are established

will take charge of the equipment
at once and will have the machines
piloted by postal aviators to New
York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton.
In recent statement by Second
Assistant Postmaster General Prae-
ger, he said, Il have no illustration
as to the possibilities as well as the
limitations OF the pTesent-day air
plane. Carefully kept records on
nearly $4,000 miles of cross country
work, no little of it in fog, rain or
hail. has given US a clear idea Is to
what we have a right to expect OF
the planes now available for mail
purposes, but no extension OF that
service will be made without due
regard for the war demands on our
aircraft industry and personnel"
An air route between New York
and Chicago is now being considered,
which would cut in half the time
between the two greatest cities of
the United States and bring the en-
tire West, even to the Pacific Coast

Coram Non Judice.

Judge not my life! No man inherits
worldly goodness free from stains;
Nor doth obtain that which he merits,
Nor merit that which he obtains.
We strive alone in flesh and spirit
The strong men win, the fragile bleed:
But i we lose, Jehovah hears it.
Twas as we strove and not the deed
Were it within our feeble power
To reck the pain of failures loss.
We would not lose Life's little hour,
Nor count lost battles utter dross.
Wed spring, full armored, to the battle
Wed fight, we'd bleed we'd rest awhile:
And If we lost, at Deaths loud rattle
Wed stay the finger of Times dial
But as we are as He has made us
We can but strive to do our best;
And, falling, pray that He will aid US
To meet the greater, higher test.
Then Judge me not, nor those who tore me,
condemn me not as slayer or slain,
For in the land see before me
