O'Clock in the afternoon. The task of

TO Chief" Ross and a picked patrol
of three other men.
The patrol disappeared into the

his pistol ready and two hand grenades
In his hip pockets. The emplacement
was spotted In the upper window Of
the stone house. Two men were left
out in front in the bushes to draw the
fire Of the gun, while Ross stealthily
worked up toward one side of the
building and his companion on the
other. Ross crawled up to the side of
the building unobserved and edged
around to where he could see the muz-
2le Of the machine gun protruding
from window.
Two seconds later a well-placed
grenade burst In the room with the
Germans killing two and SCATTERING

man executed strategic retreat

The Problem OF Russia

By CLARENCE L. SPEED
Written for and Approved ay the War

ChieaEol
Russia, that great enigma Of the
war likewise presents probably the
greatest Of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment In self
government a failure? Have the ac-
lions Of the Russian people proven
that the principle If selfletermna-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
position where she can again become
one Of the greatest in the family of
nations, or should She be split up into
numerous independent staty>f
All of these arr questions which
considering the insufficient iniorma-
ton AZ hand on which to base our con
illusions. permit Of wide differences OF
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN IN
DER THE CONTROL or GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL, MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong In Russia.
The word remain is used advised
~. The greater part of Russia was.
at the time the war came 10 its dra-
matte close, under the heel Of Ger
many. Whole districts. such MS Fin
land, the Baltic provinces. Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under d.
rect German control. German ana
Austrian prisoners Of war were fight
ing against the allies and the Czecho-
SlovakS in Siberia
The armistice terms which the Ger
mans were forced to sign provided
that the treaty OF Brest- Litovsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was deSp0iled should be ahro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vided that all invaded territory on the
east front as well as that on the west
should be evacuated within Ii days.
This was the first provision Of the
armistice terms at which the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. The
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front. territory should be
evacuation at some indefinite time to
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
The significance or This. may be
merely that the disorder in Russia was
so great that the allies thought Ger
man control for time was better than
none Again Il is possible-even
highly probable-that the German del
egates hoped by this means to let Ger
man occupation drag on into the pc
riod of peace negotiations. thinking
thereby to retain something Of what
they have gained from Russia.
Knowing as we do that Germany
must depend ,Non outside territory
for raw materials and markets for her
manufactured wares we may well look
with suspicion on delay In the evacua-
ton Of the Russian provinces. If they
need policing the allies should pro-
coed to police them at the earliest pos
slble moment-and police them with
out any German assistance.
