Red Cross Meeting

At the regular monthly meet
ing of the New Hope Branch of
the Red Cross, held Wednesday
the 18th, the following reports
were made.
Surgical dressings 300 muslin
bags for front line packets, POI
pads made.
Wool; SO punches of wool for
sweaters were given out and 80
sweaters so far returned.
al punches of wool for socks
and los socks returned.
There were IL renewals of
membership.
Miss Edith Smith was ap-
pointed to see that all sweaters
and socks knit from Red Cross
wool be returned to the chapter
and sent to headquarters. In
the past knitters have had the
privilege of buying the wool and
giving the finished article to a
personal friend, which resulted
in one man having several swea-
ters and more socks than need
ed. During the present scarcity
of wool it was thought best to
adopt the above measure.
Now that the preserving sea-
son is drawing to a close, it is
hoped that the attendance at
the Red Cross room will be a
decided improvement.

Liberty Loan Committee Meets

The Liberty Loan Committee
for Lambertville and vicinity of
which the Rev. Theron Lee has
been appointed chairman, held
an interesting meeting, which
was well attended, on Monday
night in the Centennial Building
and Loan Association room,
which, in great courtesy, had
been placed at their disposal.
The plans for the coming
campaign were explained, tech
nical features were discussed
it was announced that the quo
ia for Lambertville and vicinity
would be $445, 100000, and all
pledged themselves with all
their powers to help in the con-
test to raise this-for us-tre-
menaous sum. The feeling was
that the sum must be raised
and to do it every citizen, young
or old join in.
1t was announced that Stock
ton, Rosemont, Raven Rock,
Mount Airy, Sergeantsville and
Rocktownhad been given chair
men and were about to embark
in race for the honor flag.
Many new features were
promised in the campaign, but
the same old result must be
striven for-namely, that every
body subscribe. 1t is hoped
that all citizens will rally to
this great cause.

ced on the grounds, and Liberty
Bond subscriptions gladly re-
ceived. The citizens of the city

Kerensky Finds
~ a Champion

Little comment on Russia swerves
from the beaten path of knowledge laid
down by the few observers who have
gone to Russia and have returned to re-
ceive hearing. But now comes 1.-The
New York Globe" with reply to what
it calls "a savage attack on Kerensky"
in "The New York Times" (which seems
born of greater desire to serve Tory
ism than to serve democracy in Russia
and the world" ''The Globe" then pro-
ceeds with defence and partial vindl-
cation Of the one-time Russian leader:
"1t is not difficult to draw plausible in
dictment of Kerensky. At the beginning of
the Russian revolution he was the leader of
the Socialists of the Duma, and such to
some degree was bitten with the disease of
Leninism. He committed the great mistake
of countenancing the idea that it was per-
MISSILE for Russia to play lone hand
when her honor bound her to teamwork
He bundered frightfully when he was in
strumental in bringing about the return Of
Lenine, Trotzky and other impossibilsts
who did not scruple to accept German as
sstance He Numbered again when he is
sued orders which developed mutiny in the
Russian armies. He Numbered again in the
Korniloff affair, when a chance to save Rus
STA by cooperation was offered to him.
"But on the main point Kerensky was
sound When the test came he was against
separate peace ard did what lay in his
power to inspire the Russian armies to
fight An idealistc visionary, he was a
poor psychologist and thought human ma
ture SO ductle that discipline could be de-
stroyed one day and called into being on a
new basis the next; a perfervid orator

ated the influence of human speech and

ut became manifest to Oswald that the
real work of higher education, the discus
sion of God, of the state and of sex, of all
the great issues in life, while it was being
deliberately evaded in the formal education
ing done, thinly, enthusiastically, pervert-
edly even, by the talk of boys and girls
among themselves, by the casual sugges-
tions of tutors, friends and chance acquaint-
ances, and more particularly by = number
of irresponsible journalists and literary
men. For example, though the higher edu-
cation of the country afforded no compre-
hensive view Of social interrelatonship at
all, the propaganda of the Socialists did give
a scheme-Oswald thought it was mistak-
en- and wrongheaded schemc-of economic
interdependence. If the school showed moth

so even if the Moscow government was
a real government exercising real con-
troll in Siberia instead of being the help
less tool of Germany in some parts Of
Russia and nonresident in Others
Germany is concerned greatly with
Russia, is the belief of "The Indianapolis
News" which adds: 1.-The Kaiser has
learned that making peace with gov
ernment-especially such a government
as that of Lenine and Trotzky-is not
necessarily making peace with peo-
pie" "The New York Times" repeats
that Germany must be beaten in the
East-which is Russia-if the war is to
be won. "Not until them" says "The
Times" twill Germany be beaten and
brought to bell The Allied economic,
reinforcing and rallying expedition to
Russia to aid her people to throw off the
yoke of Germany and Illustrate German
designs is one of the most momentous
enterprises of the war. Upon its sue
cess will depend complete victory and
enduring peace"
The Czecho-Slovak adventure has
aroused expectation Of "The Ottawa
(Canada) Citizen" that Russia may
once more become the theatre of great
conflicts" an expectation based upon a
possible challenge Of German might by
these wandering nationalists. In that
case, it observes, the necessary diversion
of troops from the West to the East
might force a German retirement gen
orally to the Rhine, and the final strug-
gle would be decided on the great plains
of Russia"
