THE coMINc srRuccLE IN RnssrA.


troops Of several nations including Great Britain France
and Japan are at vadivOstok or about to arrive there
The movement for the rescue of Russia has begun.
There are few historical parallels to the suddennes
and completeness of the Russian revolution and no par
alel to the events which followed it. The cunning viii
which the German promoted the paralysis Of
its gigantic neghbor and then proted by the breakdown
had in it something Satanic, something swiftly sure and
terrible like the movement Of fate The allies Of Russia
seemed to be spebound They saw the empire fall, but
did nothing They Kerenskys rise and fall and they
did nothing They the sinister figure of Lenine loom
ing the of events long before he had grasped
power, but they did nothing Then they witnessed the
GROWING infamy of this war-the betrayal of Russia
by Russans-and they did nothing.
The treaty of BrestLitovsk will stand for centuries
the classic of perfdy and cynicism was nothing
else than>Germa bargaining with Germany The pen
potentaes went through the mockery of discussion and
counter proposals. but they actually performed what they
were directed to do, nothing more and nothing less Rus
STA split open like slaughtered steer and the butcher
Huns knife in teeth raked among the viscera for the
choicest morses Then Trozy returned to Lenine and
the two Judases proceeded to exploit and enjoy their
hare of Russia The allies still held aIoof leaving Rus
STA to the taons Of the boshev and the fangs of Ger
many.
The world will never know what loyal and patriotic
Russians have suffered since the betrayal The allies
wholly repair the damage that they permitted
to be wrought The delay in rescuing Russia has caused
the death of many thousands Of innocent persons and
mental and physical torture worse than death to millions
more.
There will be fighting in Russia, plenty of it, The be-
rayers will not lightly lose their prey nor will the Ger
mans willingly let go. The enemy foreign and domestic
will have to be blasted off of Russian SOIL But the means
to Russia are available and Russia must be saved
whatever the cost.
The United States and Japan best able to aid Rus
sa They have agreed to do So and both of them have
given solemn that they will withdraw from
Russian soil when the Russian people shall have estab-
ished their government free from German control
These assurances are not made in Germany-they are
not foul promises meant to bery They guarantees
life is honor.
There must be halfway haf-hearted rescue Of
Russia. The emergency is tremendous in its conse-
luences It may involve the life of the United States
well as Russia This nation cannot afford to make mis-
takes the side of nadequacy in giving help to Russia
When Germany sends an army into Russia, as it will do
the United States should not hesitate to dispatch many
may be necessary defeat the enemy Probably
large forces will not be needed from this country the
Russians themselves will organize and fight
they aided But whatever forces may be needed from
the United States whatever munitions food war
material may be required for the rehabilitation of Rus
STA, should go forward unstntedly
The people of Russia friends of the people of
America. They in dire distress. The enemy is
tually inside their walls feeding their fesh If the
Russian people conquered and Russia is made a
reservoir for Germany the fighting the western front
all in vain and every American dying wasting his
blood in hopeless cause America win send millions
of men after the heroes who have already fallen and
whole divisions of them will die if Germany becomes
al-powerful through Russias DEATH For Russas sake
for Americas sake and for berty's sake the United
States must save Russa's ife,-WashingtOn Post.
The sooner children brought to understand that
dleness is crime and that amount of fine culture
can make them pass for valuable in the worlds eye if
they are unable to earn livelihood and must become
Changers on for others support the better for them
That daughter who helps her mother cook and scrub
far more worthy than she who only paints and plays
and obiges her overworked father to pay servant that
she may not soil her dainty hands,
WHAT CAUSES A TOWN TO DIE.
More towns die for want of confidence the part Of
business men and lack Of public spirit than from the
rivalry of neghborng towns adverse surroundings
