The Problem of Russia
The Problem of Russia
3y CLARENCE l.. SPEED

Nj
written for and Approved by the War
Committee of the Union League Club Of
Chicago)
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-
tons of the Russian people proven
that the principle OF self-determina-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
a position where she can again become
one Of the greatest in the family of
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous independent states?
All of these are questions which,
considering the insufficient informa-
ton at hand on which to base our con.
illusions, permit of wide differences OF
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL. MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong in Russia.
The word remain" is used advised
ly. The greater part of Russia was,
at the time the war came to it's dra.
matte close. under the heel Of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land, the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under di.
rect German control. German and
%,,;1 r>f GrrtN
ing against the allies and the Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
mans We're forced to sign provided
that the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vided that all invaded territory on the
east front as we'll as that on the west
should be evacuated within IA 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 OF 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 it 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 upon 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
sible moment-and police them with
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.
In the summer of 1918 when the
German armies were laundering on
toward Paris and the kaiser and his
Austrian ally were counting on speedy
victory, the portions of the former
Russian empire which had come under
direct Teutonic control, with their
area and populations. were:

There were six of us.
"Curly" Wallace was called "Curly"
because he had the cutest little Della
Fox, or spit curl, as the gum-cheWers
call it, you ever saw. Wallace was
proud of that curl, and gave it the
best of attention and care. He was
Scotch.
Happy" Houghton earned his nick
name by his constant smile and happy
dispOsition. He was English, a Lon
doner.
Hungry" Foxcroft really earned his
title. He took special pains that our
rations would not become widowed by
lying around too long in the dampness
of our dugout. He was English; also
from London.
'Ikey" Honey, dubbed 'Tkey" be-
cause in one of our theatrical at
4empts he took the part of 'Ikey Co
nenstein," and made quite hit. Eng
lisb, via London.
''Dick" Turpin, called ''Dick" in
memory of the notorious highwayman.
He used to help the quartermaster ser
geant, so the name was very approprl-
ate. He was Irish, from Dublin.
l was the sixth. The boys put the
prefix "Yank" to my name, because /
was american and hailed from the
s'Big Town" behind the statue of lib
erty.
The six of us composed the crew of
gun No. 2 of the --th brigade ma
chine company. We were machine
gunners and our gun was the Vickers,
light, 303, water-cooled.
It was a rainy afternoon in June,
and we were sitting in our dugout in
the front-line trench, about 800 yards
from the German lines.
If you should ask a Tommy Atkins
"What is a dugout?" he would look at
you in establishment, and, plying you
for your apparent lack of education,

dugout." Only being q Tommy pro
tem-pro TEN in my case meaning "for
duration of war"-T will try to de-
scribe to the best of my ability this
particular dugout.
A dugout is hole in the ground
Gets it's name because st is dug out
by the Royal Engineers, or E. Els as
we call them. 1t is used to shelter the
men in the trenches from she'll fire,
They also sleep in il, or try to. From
our point of view, it's main use is to
drain the trenches of muddy water
and give us rheumatism. It also
makes a good hotel for rats. These
guests look upon us as intruders and
complain that we overcrOwd the place.
Occasionally we give in to them, and
take a turn in the trench to rest our
selves.
Our dugout was about twenty feet
deep, or, at least, there were twenty
wooden steps leading down TO it. The
ceiling and walls were braced by
heavy, square-cut timbers. Over the
timbers in the ceiling sheets of cor
rugated iron were spread to keep the
wet earth from falling in on, us. The
entrance was heavily sandbagged and
very narrow; there was only room for
one person to leave or enter at time.
The ceiling was six feet high and the
floor space was ten feet by six feet.
Through the ceiling six-inch square
airshaft was cut. We used to take
turns sleeping under this in wet
weather.
The timbers bracing the wallis were
driven full of nails to hang our equip
ment on. After our ammunition, belt
