RUSSIAN ANARCHY
NOT OF ADVANTAGE
TO CENTRAL EMPIRES
Former Empire Of Gar Would
Now Be Dangerous Enemy
to Outsider If Aroused
By j. w. T. Mason
lwritten For the united Press

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Feb. 1S.-Increased indi
cations of anarchy and civil strife in
Russia cannot be utilized by the Ger
man militarists to their own advant
age. Amy attempt by the Germans to
start major offensive against Rus
sia at this time would undoubtedly re-
suit in stimulating the Russians to bit.
ter resistance against interference
with their internal affairs.
During the anarchtic conditions of
the French revolution, the French ar
flies held Europe at bay when Europe
tried to take advantage of the lack of
order within the revolutionary area
The Russian people are capable Of sim
ilar action now Russia, ostensibly
before an invading force, is
in reality more dangerous for the Ger
mans at this time than she has been
since the drive of Won Maekensen
through Galicia.
Won Hindenburg has never encount-
cred military situation resembling III
any way the now existing one along
the eastern front
Won Hindenburg's opponent in Rus
sia, General Krylenko, was only an
ensign a few months ago. He has no
fitness for his exalted post. He
is either a strategist nor a tactician.
Yet, Won Hindenburg hesitates to at
tack him and shows every indication
of having been put in the most serious
quandary of the war.
Tho spirit of utter and uncontroll-
ed freedom has been let loose in Rus
sia and it is this spirit that is halting
Won EIindenburg, as the czar's armieS
failed to halt him. Even the sinister
turn to anarchy, the opposite pole to
Germany's highly specialized spirit of
organization, gives Won Hindenburg no
opening that he is eager to use. 1t is
something new for the kaiser's militar-
lists, this unbridled freedom, and they
are fearful of its high explosive posi-
bilities.

A WHIRLW Wind WEEK
. OF war LEGISLATION
EXPECTED CONGRESS
Railroad Control Bill VIII Be
Followed Closely by Other
Needed Legislation
By L. @. Martin

Washington, Feb. 1S.-A whirlwint
week in ending big war jobs was ahead
of congress today.
The railroad control bill was expected
to clear the senate and be ready fol-
house action by Saturday. Chairman
Smith of the interstate commerce com
mittee was to ask for definite date
for senate vote today.
Close on the heels of this measure
was to come the MeAdoo war finance
corporation bill.
House action was expected early in
the week on the daylight saving bill;
the senate already having passed it.
Both houses were to wind up the $780,,
100000 housing bill to provide better
living conditions for shipyard workers
The billion urgent deficiency bill, car.
rying moneys for many needs of Gener-
al Pershing, was to receive house appro-
val and follow in the senate after the
railroad and war finance corporation
measures.
War reorganization work will center
in the senate judiciary committee, where
the Overman bill empowering President
Wilson to re-distribVte the administers
tive functions at will, will be whipped
into shape. The military committee prob
ably VIII vote again ON its war cab.
met bill which today apparently was
deadlocked.
Deep in constructive work, the senate
was prepared to pause in the near fu-
ture while Senator Reed IS repor, on IN
vestigations into sugar and coal is pre-
sented to it. The report is deemed GER
tain to assail aspects Of the food and
fuel administrations.
, The price fixing bill-long promised
by President Wilson and cited Dy.oppo-
sition elements as the most startlingly
drastic move yet proposed-was under
going its final revision in the house
and senate agricultural committees.
The big navy bill was to emerge from
committee soon, as were the executive
legislative and judicial and the rivers
and harbors budgets.

$4,000 Taken Out In
Insurance by Ordnance Class

When the war is over and Lieuten'
ant c. C. Jeremiah returns to civil life,
he may qualify as life insurance
agent.
Lieutenant Jeremiah has charge Of
the ordnance class in the university
school of commerce. Last week he re-
ceived circular from the war depart
ment advising that his men are eligi-
ible to take out insurance under pro-
visions of the law recently passed by
congress up to q maximum limit of
$4,000 per man.
He presented the plan to the men
and that night he sent in an applica-
tion for 100000 worth of insurance
from the sixty five men in his class
so it is easy to figure that nearly ev-
cry man went the limit.

GENERAL PERSHING

Trenches Held by Amer

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the American Armies in France
Feb. IL (Delayed) General Pershing
visited the first line trenches today, as
part of general inspection of the Am.
erican forces hold this sector. He
found the men in excellent condition
and spirits. Their patrol work, he as
eertained is becoming rapidly more ef-
fective, while the men in the rear are
anxious to take their turn in the
trenches
Pershing picked his way through the
wet, soggy trenches and emerged with
the same spotlessness that made him
the wonder of his men in Mexico,
where it was said he could go into the
dustiest places without seeming to get
dusty.
Where other officers slipped and
floundered in the mud, Pershing step
ped gingerly along, picking his way
with surefootedness and scarcely soil
ing his boots.
Pershing asked a cook how the food
was.

"What did you have for support -
"Nothing but roast beef. mashed
potatoes, bread and butter and coffee

Great Speed Of Enemy Aero

With The American Armies in France,
Feb. III {Deiayed) The wounded and
sick occupants Of a field hospital few
kilometers behind the American trenches

as the result OF a bOehe air raid.
A German airplane, flying low in

the burning fuses streaking toward the

embassy officials say:
"Their internationalism is not based
on the ideal of unity and cooperation
of nations entitled to develop themselves
along their own specific lines, but is g
striving for universal removal of the
worlds proletariat and the raising OF
merciless class struggle.
"The fancy of the Bolsheviki draws
beyond the conclusion of the present
war, a sinister picture that shows, in
stead of peaceful development of ma,
tions applying their energies to creative
activities, destructive flames of social
revolution throughout the world
In this weird international tangle
President Wilson has thrust forth his
appeal for a just squaring in
general and in many details with the
views of the Austrian people and adding
further to- the confusion of the German
junkers.
How the trend of world events is af-
fecting these junkers and the Austrian
government will probably reveal itself
this week when Chancellor Hertling al
Berlin and Count Czernin at Vienna are
expected to answer the president S last
address to congress.

President Took Action

Washington, Feb. 18r-While striking
carpenters in eastern shipyards were re-
turning to work today under spur of
President Wilson the government pre-
pared to launch q program that will
prevent further walkouts.
The government now and hereafter
will act ON the principle that no strike
is justified until all methods Of adjust
ment have been tried to the limit; and
that any action taken contrary. to this
principle will be regarded as giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.
President Wilson yesterday struck
at the heart of the trouble William
Hutchinson, head of the carpenters and
ioiners-in a message demanding that
he send the men back to work and
end the strike.
At the same time, President Wilson
acknowledged the action of all other la
Dor organizations in standing Loyalty
by the government in the threatened
crisis.
~ feel it my duty S~v president
wired Hutchinson, to call your atten-
ton to the fact that tht srike of the
carpenters in the shipyards is in mark
ed and painful contrast to the action OF
labor in other trades and places.
The action of labor as a whole In the
carpenters walkout marks unique page
in the history of organized American
workmen. All the leaders lined up with
the government against the strike
sought by Hutchenson-and forced him
to yield through the pressure of labor
and public opinion.
AS one final gun in the campaign OF
the other trades to leave Hutchinson
to his own fate, the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
last night issued statement upholding
the hands of the government in prose-
cutting the war.

The pilgrim and wanderer is glad

Joy enters the family reunion. The

love to hear their fathers and

partake with them of the family meal

the tumultuous sea of life; and they
return to their respective pursuits re-

heart glow with its genial and sa-
