HELPING RUSSIA.
(Telegraph-Hera

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 if 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-
STA 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 num-
bers, and maintain their supplies?
Intelligent propaganda and sympa-
thy are about all we can contribute
now. If the Bolsheviki were unseated
we could give financial support, too;
but there's no immediate hope of that
Well do we'll for the present if we
succeed merely in persuading the
bulk of Russians that we're their
friends.
AS for actual help, the logical place
to render it appears to be the west
ern battle front. We can fight for
Russia'1n France and Belgium. And
the new empire that Germany is cary
ing out Of Russia's remains will stand
or fall with the fate of France and
Belgium. When we have crushed Ger
man resistance and blasted German
ambitions there, we can dictate a
proper Russian settlement.
If this reasoning is correct, it fol-
lows that the way to help Russia is to
do exactly what we are doing now, but
do it a little harder and better

NO BREAK IN THE MARCH ABROAD
New York WORLDLY

New York WOrld.)
Secretary Daniels view Of the i'm
mediate and remote effects of the u
boat raid on these shores is quietly
expressed in the statement that the
duty of the American navy is to keep
the way open to France for our troops
and supplies and that this great task
will be successfully accomplished at
all hazards
Under the protection of the United
States navy mighty machine has
been built up and extended across the
Atlantic for the movement Of the Ma
tons powers of war to France What
it has already done to this end, Ger
many is finally beginning to under
stand. OF what it might yet do the
German fear is reflected in this wild
submarine stroke at the point of de-
parture.
But the machine will move on as
before and as certainly as the fate
which is settling down upon the bri-
gand power of Central Europe. What
the maximum of it's submarine effort
could not do in its own chosen zone
of action to prevent the construction
and operation of the machine which
has already thrown hundreds of thou
sands of American soldiers into
France, no spectacular U7boat gesture
like this will be able to do anywhere
else"

If the purpose of the U-boat raids
off the Atlantic coast is to brighten this
country and weaken it's war spirit the
enemy has failed. Pirate hunting was
formerly favorite activity with our
sailors and those of the present day
are as eager to hunt submarines. The
destruction of merchant ships close to
our coast has stiffened the war spirit
and activity all over the country. Army
recruiting has been stimulated, and a
new fighting spirit has taken hold of
the people. In the shipyards and mu-
milton factories the workmen have
caught the new war spirit and go to
their work with increased tenacity
Shooting scare into Uncle Sam can't
be done.

The Minnesota primary election O

The Minnesota primary election on
the 18th will bring to an end red
hot, bitter campaign in which the Far
mers' Nonpartisan league has exerted
a strong effort to control state poll
tics as it now does in North Dakota.
It is said that serious effort is to be
made by the league to secure control
of the political machinery in Iowa, and
that agents are now canvassing
among the farmers in some locali-
ties for memberships. The league is
being bitterly opposed everywhere it
is active, on the ground that it is
ultra Socialistic in it's profession and
that it's promoters are really the on
~ ones who benefit by it in any way.

The town of Gutenberg has chang
ed its name to Prairie-La-Porte. The
people of that community have been
conspicuous in all lines of patriotic
endeavor since the war started and
changed the name of their town as
further evidence Of it. We would like
to suggest without criticising the good
people Of Prairie-La-Porte that it
would be advisable to get away from
all foreign names while we are under
going the process of shedding German
names. Let us put in their places
names with a good American sound.

sible time become fitted for the privi-
leges and obligations of American cit
izenship. For that purpose schools
should be established or conducted in
connection with our public school
system, which every foreigner should
be obliged to attend; and no foreign
er should be given his naturalization
papers until he can passably read and
speak the English language, and is
reasonab bly, we'll grounded in the funda-
mentals of American history, Ameri-
can government, and American prin-
ciples and ideals of democracy.
8. We should insist that the English
language be the language for every
body everywhere in this country. There
is no bond which binds foreigners so
closely and permanently to the tradi-
tons and ideals of their native land
across the seas, and so delays the pro-
cess of Americanizing them, as the
continued use of the mother tongue.
There are any number of colonies
scattered over all parts of the United
States, both in the cities and in the
rural districts, in which the people
ARE just as German as Polish, as b.
hemian, as Italian or as Russian as
in any of those countries in Europe.
Why? Because their churches, their
schools, their newspapers all use their
native language instead of the Ian
guage of this country. Such people
have no chance to become American
lied; they are never touched by the
American spirit.
And when war comes, these church
es and schools and periodicals simply
become centers for the spread of dis
loyalty There are plenty of German
newspapers in this country today, who
while they dare not be openly disloyal,
are constantly engaged in spreading an
insidious propaganda in favor of Ger
many; and thousands of German peo-
pie read nothing but these papers, and
so get nothing but the German view.
Why the publication of these papers Is
still permitted, when millions of our
American men are imperriling their
lives, and millions of American moth
ers are weeping over them, and all for
the purpose Of upholding the very
things which this traitorous foreign
press is seeking to tear down, Is one
of the mysteries OF our American way
of doing things.
I hope that before this war is over
we shall come to our senses in this
matter, and insist that in the schools,
churches and periodicals of this coun-
try no other language but the langu
age of the country be used. People. who
insist on some other language for
themselves and their children should
stay where that language is spoken.
Unless some such things as these
are done, we shall always have in this
country a great lump of undigested
population, an annoyance in times of
peace, and peril in times of war. Let
us remember that If we want loyal
homogeneous citizenship in this coun
try we must do something to make 1t
So We cannot get it by letting every
body come who wants to come, and
then letting everybody do as they
please after they are here. Like all
other institutions, the American melt
ing pot will not run itself. If its con-
tents are to be properly melted and
fused we shall have to keep stirring
the broth.

EIGHTY-THIRD DAY OF GREATEST
OF BATTLES.

AS yet the latest German drive has
not recorded an important advance.
1t was met with firm resistance and
probably found the French we'll pre-
pared to meet an attack in this Sec
tor. That the French would regard
1t an important one and defend it we'll
is certain because it is on the direct
road to Paris down the valley of the
Disc.
The number of troops employed
does not indicate that there is any
idea of sweeping movement south
ward sufficient to endanger Paris. 1t
more likely is intended to straighten
the lines by extending them as far
south as possible and thereby connect
up the Aisne front with the position
in Picardy In fact military observ-
ers are pretty well agreed that the
Germans will not attempt to reach
Paris at this time but will carry the
fight westward toward the channel.
Considering the width of its base the
salient toward Amiens cannot safely
be extended further. Before the SUI
preme effort to reach the channel is
made the width Of the base must be
extended and if possible more elbow
room secured. After successfully
planting his left flank securely on the
Marine, the, enemy is now striking to
gain ground anywhere between the
Marine and Mondidier. The northern
strip of this territory is all necessary
for the protection of his left flank in
any drive he may attempt to the chan
mel. 1t is complementary predicted
that the decisive battle Of the year
will come when the German makes
his desperate plunge in this direction,
hoping to divide the French and Eng
lish and crush them before American
Intervention can turn the scales. Con-
tinuous and desperate attacks will un-
doubtedly follow now in rapid success
sion. This is made necessary because
of the rapidity with which the Ameri-
can troops are being transported and
given battle training. The faster our
troops go over the sooner the Germans
will force the issue. We believe that
time will prove that General Foch is
right in holding and saving every man
possible for the battle which the Ger
mans must soon fight and win or be
forever lost in this war. America is
in the race for all she is worth for
the high stakes of world liberty.

DESTIN Y.
(Des Moines Register.)

Probably four-fiths of the people of
the United States have a feeling that
destiny intends the allies to win the
war. Part of this four fifths are ready
to let the matter go at that. The re-
mainder realize that destiny needs
human help.
The man may be thricearmed who
has his quarrel just, but that will not
prevent him from receiving thrash
ing if he does not use his arms with
threefold vigor on account of the JUS
tice of his cause.
