The Future Of Russia.

Notwithstanding the complete and
absolute surrender Of the Lenine and
Trotzky control of Russia to German
military domination. the future of that
great country is still matter Of uncer-
tainty The most experienced observes
Of passing political events, and com
mentators thereon. are puzzled IN respect
OF making predictions Of the outcome.
The ono thing plainly apparent is
that il the treaty negotiated by Levine
and Trotzky shall be permitted to con-
tinue in operation, Russia will become
merely vaSsal territory, under the SUI
zerainty Of Germany. But will the rest
OF Continental Europe, to say nothing
of Japan and the United States. consent
to such an arrangement? To the great
empire of Russia, which has had con-
tinucd existence as 4 political and gov

TOO MUCH CENSORSHIP.

Major General Pcyton c. March
after nine months in France, comes
back To denounce as ''lamcntahle" the
sort Of censorship of news that has been
going on and TO recommend freer dis
semination of information regarding the
doings Of our men in the field Of war. He
saws American officers in France have
not understood why 50 much was sup
pressed He insists on the right of the
people OF America to learn as much as
possible Of what Is going on.
Wha. is plain enough TO the average
mind is that any censorship which invites
the hostile protest Of the Chief Of Staff OF
the United States Army is not based on
military conditions at all, not based on the
desire TO keep information from the
enemy and therefore has no moral
justincatIon Of any kind
Two theories are possible about such
censorship. then-one, that 1t springs
out of the stupidity of bureaucracy, and,
so far as the administration rs concerned,
is inadvertency; that it comes from the
settled motive of preventing political
criticism of what Is done by the peoples
agents-BroOklyn Eagle.

PRESS COMMENTS.
MEN FOR THE BRIDGE.

Men are wanted, men in ever incrcas-
ing numbers for the bridge OF ships,
for this in effect will be the nature Of the
extensive shipbuilding enterprises of the
government. There will be turned out
with ever increasing rapidity ships that
in effect will bridge the ocean, so numer-
Gus will they be and so frequent their sail
ings. This program Of ship construction
calls for an army of men scarcely inferior
in numbers 10 the army of fighters.
And il calls AS well for another army
of men to man these ships. First let
there be ample provision for the con-
struction work and this calls for men
of trained capacities, for every kind of
craft that enters into the building of
ships, the wooden and the steel and the
fabricated types.
The campaign for ship builders is
going on night and day. The pay is
attractive, the ideals Of service inspiring
and the outlook for the men so engaged
to be kept where they can do the most
good is a further inducement for patriotic
American workers Let there be more
rapid response to the call for men TO do the
work of building the ships that in every
sense of the world may be styled victory
ships.
These are the ships that are to carry
the troops, to carry the supplies for the
troops that are to carry the food for the
Allies and other war cargoes These are
the ships that are to defeat the submarine
reliance of the enemy There is thrill and
zest in the call TO the shipyards Let
every man who has the capability respond
and let the ships be built more rapidly
than the most optimistic program calls for.
Thus can the war be shortened, victory
be gained aud the boys brought home -

PSYCHOLOGY OF VICTORY.

In summing up the Immediate task
Of the allied denocracies, General Per
shing says, with admirable force and
brevity, Germany must be beaten,
Germany can be beaten. German will be
beaten" This is the report Of a military
expert after thorough survey of the field
Of war and the resources of the partici-
pants
Citizens who are prone to magnify
the difficulties Of the democratic un-
dertaking and the rapidly disappearing
defects OF democratic organization would
do we'll to memorize General Pershing's S
words and repeat them morning and even
ing as part Of each days service on behalf
Of the cause for which the democracies are
fighting
The man or the nation that goes into a
fight convinced Of defeat Is defeated be-
fore blow is struck. On the other hand
the man or the nation that refuses to
consider the possibility of defeat cannot
be conquered. Amenca and its allies do
not concede the possibility of defeat.
Theirs is the psychology of victory.
The splendidly courageous statement
Of Geperal Pershing is, after all, merely
an epigrammatic presentment Of the
universal crystallized sentiment Of demo-
cracy.-Chicago News.

Lei II HurrT In.

Al least let us hope the special ses-
sion Of the Delaware Legislature called
by Governor Townsend without the slight
est occasion, may end before The Viii
mington NJ. Z. Conference begins its
annual session in Dover. The special
session will be nothing but q nuisance
and an expense. The Conference session
Is an event of large public Importance in
this State
We do not want the two bodies to
run together. but the opportunity to the
legislators to sit in session at FIVE dollars
a day NAV be powerful temptation
The special session will convene March
II; the Conference SESSION, March 20.
Pray, brethren pray that the one may
end before the other begins.

The Special Session Is Called.

Governor Townsend, yielding 10 the
influence Of what we consider truly his
"evil advisers" has called special SEES
sion of the Delaware Legislature, to
convene in Dover on Monday next,
March H. In thus fixing an early date
we hear that he gave gracious assent to
the advice of leading Republican pol
itician of this city, who. when informed
by the governor that he had decided to
call the special session, said: "Then, IT
YOU are determined to do SO, make the
call for an early date and get the damn
able nuisance and danger over with as
soon as possible" Evidently, the govern
or accepted this practical advice as to an
early date for the special session. Let
us hope it will not long remain in sitting
In his official call for the special scs-
sion. the governor advances the argument
of n consideration of ways and means
whereby the State of Delaware can better
cooperate with the National Council OF
Defence and more effectively render as
the war now existing. This rs mere
"camouhage, and means nothing what
ever for national defence. AS was shown
in Every Evening, yesterday, in the course
of an editorial protesting against the call
ing of special session of the Legislature.
the governor IS already clothed with
extraordinary powers To take whatever
steps he may deem necessary for the de-
fence of the State or for cooperation
with the national government, for the
defence of the State or country, or for the
successful prosecution of the war There
Is nothing whatever for the special
session to do in respect of this matter.
Furthermore, in his call for the special
session, the governor alludcs to the
matter of passing upon the Prohibition
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
and thc question of securing an adequate
supply Of farm labor He might as well
have begun and stopped with the ques-
ton of the Federal Amendment, because
that is the entire raison d'etre-th rea-
son for its purpose of the special session.
Those who are behind that amendment
would sacrifice every other interest, State
and national; would consent even TO de
feat or degradation of the country TO
foreign domination for their purpose.
And that Is. in tho end. all the reason
Governor Townsend has to offer for
imposing upon the people Of Delaware
the expense, the uncertainty, and the
danger Of = special session Of the Lecisla
ture, without the slightest probability of
any public benefit resulting from his
action

WHAT OF RUSSIA.

No peace can be made which does not
restore To Russia the territory Germany,
IN the peace treaty signed at Brest-l.itovsk
has sought TO bring under her dominion
Germany's plan TO dctach Batum and
kars from Russia must have been suddenly

earlier negotiations, and disclosure was
made only at the moment the treaty
was to have been signed The threat
already broarhed that Germany now sees
her path of destiny in the East and is fol-
lowing it, may find some confirmation
in this move.
Possibly the front OF the German world
has changed again and she turns to the

it seems To us wild surmise, that she

of new riches IN the East, like the OIL

ANOTHER WARTIME ECONOMY.

People are discovering that they can do
many things and do without MANY
things-in war time which they thought
impossible in time of peace. We don
expect to continue meatless and wheatless
meals throughout the remainder of our
lives though we worry along very com
fortably with them now. So why not
extend the general idea of national thrift?

for example.

Who dares 10 shirk bis countrv's work

Who for moro pay, or ease or play,
Ignores the call of duty,
While patriots fight with might for right,
Nor spare nor Drawn nor beauty
Who pratcs OF wagc when battles rage,
While foes forget all mercies,
Deserves the Aan of every man,
And courts his country's curses
Pass him with scorn OF honor shorn,
IInloved Of men and women
He has no place on earth, disgrace
His need in from all true men.
Naught shall there be but snecrs for thee

Who put aside the nation pride
When dark disasters lowered
Fill thou it up thy poltroon 8 cup

And from it quaff with jeering laugh,
