TO SAVE RUSSIA
Turk Fall Will Mean Much to
That Country.
Allied Armies Soon viii Co.
operate With Russ.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The salvation
of Russia from German domination
will be facilitated by the surrender of
Turkey and the passage of great al
lied fleet thru the Dardanelles, Of
allied fleet and an allied army at
Odessa and an advance thru the
Ukraine to Kieff is now possible.
This will enable the Russian and
Czecho-Slovak forces to advance
westward from the Volta to unite with
the allies in the formation of a new
eastern front.
The allies probably will be Joined by
several corps of RussorUkrainian
troops on Ukrainian soil. If Germany
wants to continue the war, she must
therefore face not only the possibility
Of an allied advance thru Austria,
which is sure to come with an Aus
TRAN surrender, but she must also
eventually face a new eastern front in
Russia.
The appearance, Of allied troops in
south Russia will electrify the Russian
people as nothing else could.
With Bulgaria and Turkey out and
the surrender OF Austria imminent,
Russia is again likely to take a most
important position in the international
situation.
Should Germany refuse to accept
the armistice terms now being pre-
pared for her at Versailles, and decide
to continue fighting. she may make
desperate efforts to organize Boil
sheviki Russia as re- ,rvoir of eroNps
and material, but the Ukraine, the
most fertile and the richest part of
Russia, will be closed to her. She may
obtain some men among the dupes
still in the clutchesof Lenine, but the
overwhelming majority of Russia and
Russians in the Ukraine, Siberia and
in the north will flock to the allie; for
the knockout blow that will be Rus
sia's revenge.

task was to teach hundreds OF these

The women are now being taught
food conservation and incidentally are
learning to speak English and to be

back their new ideas to their homes

factor in making America all Ameri-

These results could never have been
accomplished except by the appeal

Food conservation is producing mar
Vicious results at present in saving ma
tons from starvation and making it
possible for our vast armies to march

first made thru food.

AND SLOVAKS
ARE WELL CARED FOR

vladivostok. (by mail.)-wounded
Czechs and Siovaks, victims Of the
fighting north Of Nikolsk, were the
special charges of III officers and men
of an American warship prior to the
arrival of the American Red Cross
contingent from Toxic. They were at
tended by the ships doctor, fed by the
ships steward and waited upon day
and night by the big hearted sailors.
When he need became apparent
Admiral knight ordered a nearby
warehouse emptied Of It's contents and
there he improvised a hospital. Sew
eral Of the more serious cases had to
be removed to a mariue hospital for
special treatment. They begged to re-
turn to their cots in the warehouse and
to the ministrations OF the "tackies.'
The efforts Of the latter to Guido one
another in showing kintaness to the
wounded men was touching. They
gave up their beds and pillows to them.
When the Czechs arrived they were
naturally in a filthy and ragged condi-
ton. The sailors provided them with
sheets in which to wrap themselves
while they, the sailors, washed their
tattered garments. The ships off,

ton of the men and listened good nat
uredly to obviously manufactured pre-
texts put forward by the sailors to go
ashore and look after their charges.

ADVANCE OF ARMIES
MUCH MORE RAPID
Motorizing Of Heavy Guns Has
Made Swift Movements

g an attack was a lumbening pom
derous thing. moving along heavily
and deliberately behind a great weight
of artillery preparation. Today speed
is the thing. The rate of advance in
the British army has been increased
four-fold in the past year..
Behind the screen of swift moving

movement Is wonderfully fast, n a
days operations. il successful. mean
the occupation of many square miles
Of territory.
In particular, speed has been applied
to the movement of artillery. which
Is the vital thing in holding the posi-
lions won. Mechanical improvements
have been applied to gun tractors so
that now guns can be. brought up in a
quarter Of the time that was neces-
sary a few months ago. In the same
way the tank has become a mobile
gun battery, able to fire as 1t adj
vances.
Motor transport is the essential fac
tor in concentrating infantry. Food.
ammunition, water and all supplies
are carried up in motor trucks.
AS fast as the line moves h en-
gineers are busy extending the light
railways. and as fast as the rails are
laid they begin to carry their burden
of supplies and ammunition. Many
miles Of track can now be laid by a
single section Of engineers in a day,
and by the evening after a successful
attack the late field of battle is crisis
crossed with line after line Of steel
rails, all hard at work consolidating
and preparing for a further step for
ward.
AS speed Of attack develops on the
allied side, SO the heller skelter char
acter of the German movement in the
opposite direction must increase. The
effect of a sudden push back on the
German lines is like the impact Of q
locomotive on a train Of freight cars
the shock drives the farthest freight
car farthest back. The effect Of the
allied blow is im~measurably enhanced
by the speed with which 1t is deliv-
cred.
