bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which

To send an allied expedition into
Russia, under appropriate guarantees
OF Russian civil and territorial In
tegrity, would be excellent policy, pro-
vided that we could be assured Of the
consent of the Russian people, or at
least OF no opposition that is not
purely passive. We cannot be assured
OF Russian consent so long the Boil
shevtki remain dominant and in their
present mood toward us. Possibly
their dominance is shadowy and Of no
account. II this~is the case. we can
afford to wait until they give way TO
regime that will invite our aid
against Germany Possibly. too. their
dominance rests upon solid foundation
and that they can be brought around
by skilful diplomacy to an acceptance
of our aid against the common foe. But
so long as they remain In power and
are prepared to resist our interven-
ton the best of intentions on our
part could not insure us against the
disasters attendant upon a Civil war
from which only our enemies could
possibly profit.--The New York Repub-
