More Proyocation.

Speaking at a dinner, William H. Thompson,
of Kansas, referred to the beauty Of patience and
contributed anecdote along that line.
Some time since Smith and his wife went out
for spin in their automobile, but before
they had gone many miles something went amiss
with the machinery. Crawling beneath the car,
Smith began to twist and turn things, and finally
there came sundry words that sounded like break
ing one of the blue laws.
"Johnl John! expostulated the good woman in
the "You should not such dreadful Ian
suage!'

responded hubby "Of course l shouldn't! / sup

"You should have more patience" returned
Mrs. Smith. "Why don't you try to be like Job?
Don't quote Job, madame!' shouted the old
man. "Never in all his life did Job ever get his

To Aid Russia! :!

We are anxious to do all in our power to aid
Russia" says Lord Cecil at is policy to pre-
Russia as an allied country and, if that is
impossible, as a non-German."
America has the same desire. Russia must final
ly get more of democracy, our mission in this
war will not be complete success But, the
trouble is that it is not at all certain what Russia
is what is Russia.
We invested perhaps 5000, 100000 in the Car,
without security other than his governments /. o.
T., and it is questionable whether, when Russia
gets stable government, that government will pay
the Cars l. o. US Meanwhile our hundreds of
millions are carried in the profit and loss state
ment, and We are justified in demanding a clear,
full view of the possibilities before doing any
further gambling on Russia.
At present see Finland, Esthona Liyonia
Courland, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraina under
German dominion, to all practical purposes cut off
from Russia, with such defacto government as
Russia has powerless to recty the condition, even
if willing. These territories named are the best
part of Russia but to aid them would be aiding
Germany.
AS to the de facto, or Bolshevik, government of
what's left of Russia justly entitled to sus-
picions Even if suspicious that Trotzky and
Lenine have been playing into the Kaiser's hands
right along have basis in the facts this de facto
government isn't of its own existence from
day to day and it has demonstrated its inability to
stop the Germans from taking anything they please
We are not even certain that the silent, unheard-
from millions of Russia will not finally be satisfied
with monarchy, as the lesser Of evils
Russia may need aid and ask it. Our difficulty
is to decide whom to aid and where. We have
made some effort to protect from Germany the mil
lions worth Of our supplies piled up at Vladivostok
and even this has enraged Russia's de facto gov
ernment
We may be out lot of money in humane
helping of others in this world crisis but have we
any money to burn, with the Germans doing the
burning, and against us, at that?

Hertling has got around to this plaintive old

to perpetrate the foulest crime upon humanity ever

TRIBUTE TO SLAIN POLICEMEN
John A. Conrad, 'One Of God,

To the Editor Of The Washington

John A. Conrad the police force OF
Washington loses one of its most ef-
ficient, capable, and fearless officers.
have known this young man for
years. personally and Intimately. and
can truthfully say that in all my life
have never met a more upright,
charitable. and courageous soul than
Conrad. He has been tested in every
way and never found wanting-gener-
Gus to a fault, always ready to help
those in need. and not knowing what
the word fear meant Indeed. 1
think We may truly say that he was
one OF Gods noblemen.
My son. DR.. s. Bury Byington. in the
Far West. will learn with deep sorrow
Of the death OF his lifelong friend.
John Conrad. for whom he had a great
affection.
Cannot some means be devised by
which the officers of the law will be
better protected when dealing with
such desperate criminals as the MUIR
derer. Copelsnd7 II has often been
said. when an officer has shot a Grim
inal before arrest, that officers should
not resort to such means until they
feel that their lives are in danger.
How can this requirement be observed
when you are dealing with a class
which takes advantage OF every op.
portunity TO attack without warning
and thinks no more OF killing a hu-
man being than OF brushing q ny
away?
At this particular time men OF the
caliber Of John A. Conrad are sorely
needed. and II does seem to me that
something should be done to prevent
or at least to minimize. the killing
OF officers OF the law who are carry
ing out their official orders.
