the nourishment of an average sized

RUSSIA'S FATE

Europe" Turkey, has had his estate

China has not yet fallen into fragments
and the Turkeys" carcass has so far
managed to keep itself from diplomats
carving knives.
But nobody ever suggested that the
COLOSSUS of the North,'' Russia, was
in any danger Of disintegrating, al
though that is just the unexpected that
has happened.
Since kicking out the Gar and all his
roy al trumpery, Russia has managed
80 far to divide itself into no less than
II different states, viz; Siberia, com
prising nearly half the old empire on
the East, with its capital at Tomsk;
Russia, the next largest, on the north

archistic fanatics, styling themselves
Bolshevikis, and representing at most
only two per cent of the total popula-
ton, will be able to maintain the con-
troll of Russian affairs which. aided by
German intrigue, they have usurped,
no one can say, although it is highly
probable that the people, ignorant and
divided though they be, will soon over
throw this pretended Bolshevik govern
ment headed by pair of knaves name d
Lenine and Trotzkey, who are no doubt
in the pay of Germany.
This result is all the more likely to
follow since Germany has thrown OFT
her mask and is now seeking to take
by force what she had hoped to secure
by fraud. Meanwhile more or less an
archy prevails, and some civil war,
though we believe the Russian people
will finally bring some sort Of order out

Of living may "be the weakness in our
Industrial structure" says Robert w.
Babson special agent in the employ
ment bureau OF the department OF
labor. whose views are set forth today
in an employment bureau circular.
Mr.. Babson says he returned from
the west with the idea that manu-
facturers need fully as much mission
ary work as do workers.
"The labor difficulties at present are
caused by improper distribution rather
than shortage. The complaints OF
manufacturers, I have found, have
arisen not so much from difficulty IN
obtaining labor but in difficulty IN
obtaining it at prices which they de-
sire to pay. My principal difficulty was
convincing manufacturers of the IN
crease of cost of living to workers and
the need of advancing wages.
