SIBERIAN ROAD
IN BAD SHAPE
The American Commission
Meets Difficulty In
Apathy Of Russians.

Omsk, Siberia, April Correspond

fore the war the trans-Siberian sx-
press trains made the journey from
YIadivostok to Paris in Is days, and
from Vladivostok TO Omsk, the seat
OF the AIl-Russian government. in six
days. Recently special American Red
Cross trains, Young Mems Christian

quired from 20 10 Is days 10 cover
the distance from Vladivostok to the
temporary seat OF the provisional gov
eminent.
General disorganization. lack OF To-
cOmOtlves and rundown passenger
and freight cars were the great causes
Of this time-consuming trip. The slow
travelling cars had, however, one ad-
vantage, among a long list Of incOn-
veniences, discomfOrts and even some
danger, and that was that it afforded
Americans an opportunity to CLEAN
some conception Of the vastness OF ST.
IBERIA and learn something OF the ways
OF the Russian people.
IN Russia, sci tschass" (lmmedi-
ately) does not always mean immedi-
stely- Very often it signifies tomor-
row, or the next day after that. The
lack Of steady and regular applica-
ton Of the Russian workmen In his
labor and what is called the silent
resistance" 10 foreign ideas as to how
things should be done, IS believed to
be one Of the chief difficulties 70 be
encountered in the reorganization Of
the railroads as arranged for by an
international commission under the
technical direction Of the American
Stevens commission.

LET THEM SLEEP IN FRANCE

There is now pending in the house of representatives a
bill which proposes that the sum of five million dollars or 50
much thereof as may be required shall be appropriated for the
purpose of removing to this country the remains of any Ameri-
can soldier. sailor or marine now buried in Europe, and deliv-
ering the remains to the parents, nearest relative or other
person entitled by law to take charge of them. The secretary
of war is authorized and directed to make all necessary ar
engagements under the act.
The motive of This legislation is natural. but it will appear
to most Americans, we feel sure, that the proposal is a mis-
take. 1t will be far better to let our boys lie where they are,
far more desirable than to attempt to bring them, or any con-
siderable number of them, back to their home country. 1t was
in France or Flanders that they gave their lives for the cause
of liberty; and their clustered monuments today are a finer
memorial than any we could build for them singly in isolated
cemeteries on this side of the sea.
Our cemeteries in Europe should be a bond of lasting
affection between us and the people to whose aid we went in
their hour of fearful peril. Coming generations in France will
be continually reminded by them of what American youth did
.or the salvation of the free nations of the world in i9i7-19i8.
Let the remains of these heroic lads rest forever in French
soil, in the perpetual care of their government, as they are
today.
General Pershing fayors this course, Theodore Roosevelt
set a wise example when he declined the suggestion that the
body of his son should be removed to the United States. Our
boys should sleep where they fell.

KNOWING AMERICA

Il know America, because I've seen America over here'
In this simple phrase Miss Anne Morgan summed up
great truth at a luncheon the other day. Miss Morgan VINO
has herself done n useful service in France, comes back PROUD
of the accomplishment of her fellow countrymen ana country
women there. She testifies to their splendid 1alniulhess l"
the day of unexampled strain and stress. They aroused In neR,
as in all the rest of us, a new admiration of the republic tnat
bred them and sent them out to serve, and to suffer II need De-
in the cause of beleaguered humanity.
Having come thus to know ourselves, having round
ourselves, we must not lose ourselves in party clashes, FAC
iional strife and class prejudices. We must carry on" as we
did in the war, think in terms of America, speak and act and
iegislate for the advantage of all the hundred and ten millions
of Americans, whose needs and safety overshadowed every
other consideration whatsoever.
Every optimist will look forward hopefully to knowing
America i'm these pressing years of peace as q nation that can
Eeep its head, control its nerves and adapt itself without ex-
cessive difficulty or disturbance TO the new occasions That
teach new duties and the new time that makes ancient good
.uncouth." These days of readjustment are freIghted with
heavy problems, but what America did to make the world safe
for democracy in 1917 and 1918 gives us faith to believe that
she can make democracy safe for herself in the present crisis
and in the years that lie just ahead.

MILITARY TRAINING

The proposed army reorganization bill, as it now stands
III the house military committee, eliminates the universal train
ing provision and substitutes a reserve force made up of men
is a compromise, drawn to enlist support in congress from
members fearful of or hostile to the principle of compulsory
training for all physically fit Americans.
There may be opposition in congress, and even in the
country, to- the military training idea as a basis for a new and
permanent system of national defense. But it ought not to
be abandoned. 1t is better to fight fop it and let congress and
the country get a little education on the subject than to adopt
a wrong principle merely for the sake of present agreement.
1t is difficult to see how the proposed reserve army. limited
TO ex-service men, satisfies any democratic principle or even
provides any permanent policy, which are the two main
things now aimed at. 1t limits military service to a special
class, a thing vicious in itself, and to a class that in a very
few years will have passed the military age. The plan there
.ore offers neither equality nor permanency.
There is nothing to be gained in the end by throwing over
a right principle for an expedient one. If that policy had been
followed in the war we should have had the volunteer system.
The right principle prevailed and we had equality by the con-
.scripton method. The same principle applies in universal
training, which is the foundation of CONSUMPTION. and to aban-
don it now is to take a backward step in the direction of all
the evils we escaped in getting rid forever, as we had hoped,
of a volunteer or class plan. Where every American youth
takes training and passes into the reserve we have a continu-
ing and adequate defensive policy, equal, democratic and in
stantly effective. Where we have anything less we have a
class army, The best expert testimony is all for the training
principle. General Pershing and General Wood are committed
to it, and congressional committees ought not to reject it for
reasons that cannot be shown to be military reasons.

WHO SENT HIM?

The story of the dastardly attack of the t. w. w. at Cen
iralia, as the story develops from day to day, leaves no doubt
that it was deliberately planned. It recalls the bomb throw
ing case in San Francisco on Preparedness Day, which after
ward gave rise to the Mooney case" And nowhere on the
continent or outside of Russia We're the demands for Moneys
ielease from prison more insistent or persistent than In this
section of the Northwest, where his friends and followers
fomented strike after strike for the liberty of the San Francisco
leader of the Reds.
The affair is a fresh reminder of the real character of the
menace of this bolshevik brotherhood. Il was sent to do my
duty and / did it" declared the man who was lynched.
Who sent him?
breed and its native disciples is due to fanaticism, how much
to ordinary criminal propensity, is not a material question.
The plain fact is that the organization is openly a l~aw-defying
one and no crime is too atrocious to be sanctioned by its direct
action code.
1t should not require repeated examples of the limits to
which the !. W.. w. is ready to go, of the welcome it gives to
opportunity for assassination, to warn the authorities, federal,
state and municipal, that their public duty requires the EXTERN
nation of the dangerous element root and branch.
The people of Centrala grieving for their dead make an
eloquent appeal against that attenuated spirit of tolerance
which would persuade an American community to permit the
+. w. VS. or any affiliated propagandists to infest it on the
presumption thai they will refrain from practicing what they
preach.
Again we ask, who sent him?

All this represents a state of mind. There are millions of
Americans who feel toward Wilson as they have never felt
toward any other president-who feel toward him as they hope
never to feel toward any future president. Certainly they are
not all responsible for this state Of mind. For they once sup
ported him as Loyalty as the members of his own family could
have done.

Ray McKaig, Nonpartisan Or

Suit for Damages.

Boise, Nov. 5.-There is a wide

SUIT on trial here in the district court
in which Ray McKaig, state organizer
of the Nonpartisan league, is plaintiff,
and Frank r. Gooding, former govern

that during the campaign year ago
when Gooding was a candidate for
United States senator, he attacked him
through the newspapers to the detri-
ment OF McKaig's character.
The real trial of the case started
today when the defense introduced
Witnesses from North Dakota-B. Il.
Evans, Mrs. Evans, and J. B. Hagel-
berger-to prove that Goodings state
rents were correct; that McKaig met
Kate Richard O'Hare, famous Social
list, when she was on trial in North Da-
kota, and offered his sympathy to her
Gooding, during the campaign, charged
that the Norpartisan league leaders
were disloyal. The witnesses testify
that it was fact that McKaig met
Kate O'Hare when she was ON trial
and expressed the hope that she would
prove her innocence of the charge of
obstructing the draft law.
