Lenine and Russia's Future.

Reports of the death of Nicolai Le-
nine from wounds inflicted by a wom-
an appear to be unfounded. Lenine
was shot and has been in a precarious
condition, but is reported to be out Of
danger. His removal as leader Of the
bolshevik government of Russia would
perhaps hasten the breakup of that
anomalous organization, which is sus-
tanned, it is now evident, solely by
German assistance. Yet the solution Of
the Russian problem will not come
through assassination. Lenine has, &C.
cording to the most dependable re-
ports, been Germany's best friend in
Russia during the past eighteen
months. 1t was he who engineered
the coup that led to the treaty of
peace, shameful surrender of Rus
sia's interests to the enemy. Lenine's
work is done. He is not today as vaiu-
able to Germany as he was a few
months ago.
/. Russia is in chaos and none can tell
by what means o5der will be restored.
In Siberia a Czecho-Slovak movement
is succeeding, with allied aid, but that
is far away and cannot affect material
~ the situation in European Russia.
It is impossible at this time to find

der which professional base ball can

der which professional base ball can
prosper.
What the future Of the game will
be none can tell. The teams are dis
banded, mostly without contractual
reservations. No man knows how long
it will be before play is resumed. An
immense sum of money is tied up in
parks and equipment. That will rep
resent loss to club owners. But it is
to be said for them that they have not
complained of the loss. 1t is part of
the wastage of war, which they are
cheerfully bearing. For few Of them
are in the base ball game for the
profits that it yields.
Nobody expects the game to lapse.
After the war there will be reorgani-
cation. The leagues may not follow
the old lines and cities that have be-
come famous as base bail towns will
possibly be shifted on the map of the
sport. There will be many absentees
from the ranks. Some of the players
will be recorded on Americas roll of
honor. Some will be crippled beyond
the possibility of further participa-
ton. Most of them, however, will be
ready for service in the pastime that
is one of the established American in
situations. There will be rejoicing
when the umpires once more call "Play
ball!' and the sound of the bat is
heard again in the land.

any pronounced movement toward or
der, any process Of capitalization
Germany's influence is baleful and
serves to arouse the bitterest feelings
But the Russian people are helpless.
They have NO confidence in leaders,
they have no formulas Of procedure,
they have no means Of resistance.
They are simply awaiting the turn Of
events.
The hope of the allies is that Rus
sia's confusion will be so great that
Germany must keep a large force en-
ployed in or near that country while
the real battles of the war are being
fought on the western lines. When
victory has been won in the west the
Russian situation can be dealt with in
season and without considering Ger
many as factor.

Base Ball.

Yesterdays game and attendant
ceremonies at the base ball park in
this city marked the end of the ma
tional game in Washington for the
duration of the war Until we and
our allies have entered Berlin" said
the announcer before the ninth inning
began, there will be no more profess
sional base ball at the capital In
Chicago and Boston games will be
played during the next few days to
determine the worlds championship
and then the sport will cease, for a
period that none can measure, though
everybody hopes it will be brief.
Base ball as national pastime grips
the affections of the American people.
1t is clean sport. honestlyconducted

has never lessened its hold upon the

Of the games success. Teams repre-

the ardor of the supporters for the
success of their respective clubs sup
plies the handspring for patronage.
It is q wholesome sort of rivalry, even

The Revenue Measure.

The ways and means committee pre-
sents the war revenue measure. 1t
! carries the amount desired. 1t repre-
sents the action of the full committee.
1t has been prepared in the light of
| information obtained from business
sources and of recommendations made
by the Treasury Department. It is the
biggest thing of the kind in the his
tory of this country.
In the report accompanying the
measure this appears:
"The committee has endeavored to
distribute equitably the new tax bur-
den and to levy the taxes in such a
| way that the burden should be met by
those most able to pay"
The debate in the House begins Fri
day, and is expected to continue ten
days. 1t will turn on the proposition
as to whether the committee has sue
ceedcd in its endeavor-the equitable
distribution of the burden.
/ The weight of the burden will not
be challenged. Everybody consents to
that. Everybody understands how ex-
| pensive war is. When we entered the
struggle we had nothing. We had to
equip for the work. We have been
doing this in great haste, and hence
at more than normal cost. Some waste
has inhered in the situation.
But the equitable distribution of the
burden is a matter for debate. The
burden should be so distributed that
neither class nor section will be left
with a complaint. 1t will be for the
House to say whether the committees
work meets the requirements.
The Scnate's part follows. That is
revisory. The finance committee will
| take the bill as sent over by the House
and subject it to scrutiny. Persons
desiring to be heard in opposition to
any feature of the measure have<bcen
! invited to appear before the committee
for that purpose. How many will re-
spond and how long will be their re-
sponses cannot be stated now.
When the committee reports to the
Senate, debate will proceed under
rules favoring debate. All will de-
pend on how the debaters feel about
the Houses work and the finance com.
| mittee's revision. 1t will be within
their power to express themselves at
length.
| The measure, therefore, may not
reach the President for some time. II
ought not to reach him until it has
undergone the inspection contem'
plated by the Constitution and re-
quired by justice to the many interests
involved. Congress can we'll afford to
deliberate fully on so important sub.
ject.

By the capture of Lens the British
have accomplished an object for which
they have been striving for more than
three years. At the beginning of
trench warfare Lens lay just out of
reach, tempting objective in view of
it's Importance as coal mining cen
ter. However, under the constant fire
Of attack and counter attack Lens has
long since been demolished. It's great
coal mining structures have been shot
to pieces. Possibly its underground
workings have been destroyed. 1t will
be impossible, of course, for. the allies
to use it as a fuel production point for
a long time, even if the lines are
thrust we'll beyond it to the east and
are securely held. But as a military
objective it is of decided importance,
as it is the center Of numerous roads
and has proved a pivotal point Of great
value to the Germans during their long
retention Of it.
Scissors, Montdidier, Noyon, Pc
rome, Bapaume, Albert, Nesle, Lens
and now Queant, the pivot of the
Wotan line, have fallen in seven weeks
into allied hands. Gen. Foch is max
ing good the program he so simply an
nounced when he said: "Our action has
begun and it will continue" Not for
single day since the 18th of July
has he yielded the initiative or rested
from his incessant pounding of the
enemy.

Hun Troops in Panic.

Yesterdays success by the British
r lst of Arras is a staggering blow to
lie German cause. Smashing at line
defenses regarded by the enemy as
one of his stoutest barriers. the
nueant Drocourt switch line or Wotan
ne. they went through to depth
hat represents complete break. Re-
erves are being fastened forward to
; old the breach. and possibly the Brit
III columns may be stayed after some
arther advance But the fact will re-
main that the Wotan line, so implicitly
elied upon as a breastwork, has been
;'ierced and the way is open for the
pproach to Cambria.
OF material significance is the fact
lat panic spread among the German
orces when the preliminary artillery
re ceased and the British swept for
'-'ard, unchecked by CALLING machine
run fire. Great numbers of the enemy
an screaming. while others went for
rard with uplifted hands in token of
surrender. But the Huns did not all
perform in this way. There we're units
that fought desperately, to the Hast
man. Thus there seem to be two kinds
Of German soldiers at present on the
battle lines, the timid and inexperi-
enced and easily frightened. and the
stout hearted and determined. The
question arises whether gaps in the
lines are not being filled with boys and
elderly men and possibly convalescent
wounded, unable to bear the strain of
attack.
In other sectors of the western front
this disparity between classes of Ger
man troops has appeared. Down near
scissors the Americans are faced with
the fiercest kind of resistance. Picked
troops seem to have been placed there,
to give the hardest possible fight to
any American forces that seek to ad
vance At Juvigny there are no signs
OF the cOWdrulce lnal mas Deeu SHOWN
by German soldiers at other places.
These evidences of decentralization in
the German ranks are encouraging, but
they must not lead to the expectation
of early complete collapse of the
enemy's lines. There is still a lot of
fight left in the foe. As his lines
shorten, with successive Withdrawals
eastward, he can weed out the unfit
whom he now must employ to continue
the front, unless they are meanwhile
all captured or killed by the allies.
The survival will be of the fttest Ger
man soldiers, and they will fight des-
perately.
Yet collapse of the German army
may come, suddenly, without much
warning, if the thought permeates the
ranks that victory is utterly impossi-
Bile and that further sacrifices are use
less. Confidence in the leaders can
not fail to wane as defeat follows de-
feat. And this loss of faith will have
a large part in the determination of
the issue, which now is really merely
one of time

New conditions create new impress
sions. A man of eighteen seems older
and man of forty-fve younger than
he used to.

When Ben Franklin flew kites for
the purpose of electrical demonstra-
tions he probably had no suspicion
that the same performance on more
elaborate scale would be prohibited to
prevent shore communications with
submarines.

French military experts announce
that victory for the allies is assured.
This is especially important, as France
is too experienced in war to permit
any incautious optimism to invite over
confidence.

Rhine towns do not want to be
bombed. Evidently news of what has
happened to Belgian and French cities
and even English coast towns has been
reaching Hans and Fritz.

It may yet be possible to condense
the printed matter in the Congress
sional Record so that the venerable
magazine may be read from cover to
cover. It will not be so easy then for
statesman to bury reckless remarks
in a mass Of uninteresting material.

An oyster shortage is limited at. It
cannot be believed that the Deutsch-
lands early prowl through the Chesa-
peake was for the purpose of shooting
up the oyster beds.

by the fact that large number of

facility of intuition.

The abolition of light wines will re-

Elusive.

Elusive.
A dollar isn't quite the same
As in the days Of yore.
It gambols through the busy game
More swiftly than before.
It's handed round for ham or rice;
Each task is swiftly done.
The same day you may meet one twice,
But always on the run.
With prices all exceeding high,
It's value grows so short,
Where once gallon it would buy
1t scarcely buys quart.
Mongst strange illusions which must
strike
With wonderment our eyes
We find dollar looking ike
Just 1.-TWO bits" in disguise.

After noting what has happened to
the submarines, the German fleet is
perhaps justified in keeping off the
