RUSSIA'S FATE.

~ ACH HOUR it becomes more evident how favorable Is a Trotzky-
Lenine peace for a quick German conquest of Russia.
One hundred and eighty miles southwest OF Petrogrnd
German troops have occupied Dvinskj the Russians have been driven
out of Rovno; q thousand carloads Of food have been captured. also
1853 guns and 1000 motor cars, not TO speak of a Russian General
and his army of 425 officers and 700 men; German regiments from
Moon Island are overrunning Esthonia, while northeast Of Riga the
German forces have pushed steadily ahead from wenden to Wolmar.
In the course Of concluding peace with the Bolsheviki It begins
70 look as II Germany would take Pctrograd and a 8 much more of
Russia as may please the fancy Of Berlin.
There has been no more pihabhe sight for gods and men than
this huge nation seized upon in the midst Of its struggles toward
democracy and tricked and betrayed to It's doom, wherein it becomes
easy pickings for autocracy's war lords. The Allies can only grimly
watch to see how far the Imperial German Government means to
strengthen it's hand with Russian cards.
But as to the bearing Of it all on the Allied task there can DO
TO mistake. As Elihu Root wrote to the Congress Of National Ser
vice at Chicago: .
Russia, having stopped fighting in favor OF tho kind OF
peace she admired. finds herself in a position where. for the
present. che has nothing whatever 70 a about the kind Of
peace there shall be.
We must beware OF anytAinG In tho romotost degree ap-
preaching that
There can be no safe peace talk save with a Germany on her
knees. To her knees she must be brought. What is happening in
Russia means the job will have to be done with a tighter grip, n
closer concentration, a sterner determination to fight, endure and
win.

SCHOOL HOUSES AS CIVIC CENTERs

TN POINTING OUT that fe Use Of public school buildings for
AUGMENTATION purposes along lines urged by The Evening
World should be an essentially democratic use, Miss Margaret
Wilson, the Presidents daughter, puts her finger upon the element
most necessary for the progressive success of the plan.
If the people Of a given neighborhood can only be made to feel
that the public school house Of that neghborhood is theirs, to be
used by them for their own interests and treated by them as a
common possession, moro can he accomplished than by the most
elaborate civic missionary programmes IN III" course of which the
school building is placed at the disposal e. 'c cCoty n'tcr another.
As Miss Wilson said to The EveniTs Word;
II the people OF New York wor ire. 10 use their school
buildings Is they aw 1T the activities Ia III. .Hhool buildings
would express the Municipalities OF tho grnNuS using them and
would. therefore. be immensely worth villa because they
would express their own ideas and not :deS imposed from
above.
The same principle Of scltexpression governs the whole plan, in
eorsed by Miss Wilson, in which neighborhool organizations, each
centering in a public school and each eecting any executve officer or
agent, would recognize themselves IS sef-detcrnihing parts Of a com
munity made up of such centers, and itself represented by one Com.
munity Secretary or Administrator who should I've a man big enough
TO c1ggest, develop, coordinate and also act as a medium Of inter.
course between the people and their Government, local, State and
National.
The systematic use OF school buildings in an Americanlaton
movement as thus outlined should have the heariest approval and
cooperative interest of the Board of Education o. this city.
Put Americanzation on the right basis. There is no question
who owns the school buildings. Give the owners direct, democratic
use OF the promises out of school hours.

ARMY UNIFORM FRAUDS.

INDICTMENTS against eleven army uniform contractors charged
with having embezdcd or stolen from the United States Govern
ment fabrics OF the aggregate value of S5,O00,O00 point to A
sort of swindle from which all countries suffer in war time. Besides
these eleven, there are said to be fifty-two more clothing manufac-
turers who will figure in future arrests and prosecution in connection
with similar clothing frauds.
If, upon trial, these mcn are found guilty they deserve the cxcn-
plary punishment which should be visited upon any man who delhi.
