THE RUSSIAN WAR

The near mutiny among American
soldiers in Northern Russia, indicates
- breakdown in morale which Is not at
all surprising under the circumstances.
These American boys were dragged from
rhcir homes, carried thousands OF miles
into Northern Russia for the purpose
iof supporting our allies against the
Germans. The war has stopped m
France and Belgium. 1t has stopped n
italy, in Serbia. in Palestine Every
country with which were distinctly al
war has asked for peace. and yet Tor
some ine3plicable reason VIC are going
ahead making war against Russia and
at the same time, we are practlca1iy
abandoning our own men to a hopeless
situation. We do not reinforce them
We leave them to be assailed daily by
increasing numbers Of desperate Zoe
and We do not withdraw them.
Our Russian misadvcnture is one OF
the monumental scandals Of the war.

One Of the outstanding lessons OF

element In opportunity. Our heaviest
