JoLLYiNG THEM ALONG

From a late issue of the esteemed,
semi-official and veracious Cologne
Gazette we learn that "the present
strength of the American troops In
France does not exceed 100000 men"
Also that these few we're sent In the
summer and fall of last year and
"since then the transportation of men
has practically ceased, owing to the
ever-increasing lack OF tonnage" Also
that there is woeful lack of uni.
forms, ammunition and other war ma
terials, and our expeditionary forces
are almost entirely dependent on sup
plies furnished by France.
Our troops at home are In wretched
plight. There is little clothing for
them. Less than so per cent Of the
men have proper shoes. 80 II hap.
pens that only half of the men can be
sent out for training at one time. On
their return, the others will put on
their boots"
The civilian population Is still
worse off. Throughout the United
States a great shortage In food sup
plies has prevailed since November OF
last year, conditions in the eastern
part of the country being such as to
come close to famine"
All this, of course, Is good news to
the Germans. And it's just as good
news to US. We couldn't ask for any
thing better II the German govern
ment and press want to jolly along
the war-weary German people that

truth strikes them will be all the more
Overwhelming. And the truth will
strike them about the same time our

HELPING RUSSIA

The president says that we must
help Russia And nearly everybody
agrees with him. But how? There's
the rub.
There can be no doubt that the big
majority of Russians sympathize with
the allies, or would II they were en-
abled to understand the situation.
They are beginning to resent bitterly
the German aggressions. They no
more want to be swallowed by Prus-
sia than the outer world wants them
to be. But they are helpless, without
organization, military or civil or eco
nomic; without transportation. with
out food, without intelligent leader
ship, cowed by misrepresentation
government in virtual league with
Germany.
If we could feed and arm the Rus.
sian people. they would probably rise
and fight. But how can we get food
and arms into Russia and distribute
them? Or supposing that they would
tolerate Intervention, how can we get
our own troops there, in effective
numbers, and maintain their supplies?
Intelligent propaganda and sympa
thy are about all we can contribute
now. If the Bolgheviki we're unseat
ed, we could give financial support,
too; but there's no immediate hope of
that. Wen do well for the present
II we succeed merely In persuading
the bulk of Russians that we're their
friends.
AS for actual help, the logical place
to render 1t appears to be the western
battle front We can fight for Russia
in France and Belgium And the new
empire that Germany is carving out of
Russia S remains will stand or fall
with the fate of France and Belgium.
When we have crushed German re-
sistance and blasted German ambi-
tiOns there, we can dictate proper
Russian settlement.
II this reasoning. Is correct. II fol
lows that the way to help Russia Is
to do exactly what we're doing now,
but do it a little harder and better.
