WHAT WILL Be THE
future OF RUSSIA?
Continued from Page Two)

despotism of the Bolsheviki, who,
in the name of the proletariat, have
violated the inviolable personal
rights. They hate them as deceiv-
ers, and, even more, as the force
that has taken the place of the
Tzar's bureaucrats whom they al
ways abhorred.
American friends, for it is to you
that l address my plea, you may be
quiet, Russia had in the past, she
has in the present, and she never
will lack in the future good minds
and strong hearts. These will feel
it their duty to guard the safety of
all the acquisitions gained amidst
so many and great difficulties and
at the cost of the lives of our best
men and women. These young and
beautiful lives, full of faith and en-
thusiasm, given up to see their peo-
pie free and happy-these saints,
majestic images of the dignity and
stability of the Russian nature, are
quite a sufficient guaranty-if one
be needed-of the surety that there
will always be forces enough to
combat the evils coming from either
Bolshevism or Monarchism. Never
did the proven friends of their peo-
pie in Russia shrink at the sight of
dark forces. And, now that their
ranks are being multiplied by those
who never before thought they
could be free and happy-Russia
will soon regain all her rights and
she will know how to act so as not
to be deprived of them again by any
force.
We admit that times are hard for
Russia, her means feeble at this
hour; we would be glad to clasp

men who wear the long swinging
doleful coats and the white gloves.
Not one of the hundred need have
been objects Of charity if they had
saved part of what they earned If
they had bought Government Thrift
Stamps or Savings Stamps when
they had the money, or had made
other safe and conservative and
wise investments, they would have
been able to provide for the future
and their declining years.
These government securities are
absolutely safe, they pay high inter
est and they are redeemable in full
at what you paid for them with in
terest whenever you need the
money. You have a chance to pay
your debts if you are alive, but you
cannot pay them after you are dead.
The potter's field is a colder
burying place than the cowpunch-
er's lone prairie. You may cheat
the undertaken a long time while
you are alive, but somebody has got
to pay him after you are dead.

 One of the projects embarked upon was the mounting of 70 of the 12-inch mortars for use in the 1919 campaign. This proved to be the largest job of the whole artillery program and re. quired the construction by the gov. ernment of wholly new plant which was completed on June 1. 1918. Tho first mount was finished in August of that year and passed all tests, and when the armistice was signed the castings. forgings and structural parts for 91 mounts were on hand. In April of this year 45 complete units had been delivered and the whole 91 guns could have been mounted by June.
 The department ordered l6 mounts for 14inch rifles. deliveries to begin in February, 1919. These were In ad. dition to the five guns of this size manned in France by the navy. The armistice served to cancel the con. tract.
 The l6inch howitzer, largest of the whole gun family, was successfully mounted upon railway carriage and following it's passage of severe tests, General Pershing called for IF of these weapons as soon as they could be produced Orders were placed for 61 additional guns of this size. but none had been turned out by the time the armistice was signed and the work Of mounting them was never undertaken.
 The chapters of the reporr given out today deal also with artillery ammunition, with the powder produc- tion and with the plans that wele be- yond the experimental stage for mounting heavy guns on caterpillar tractors, which was an American dc. velopment of the war. It promises TOW to revolutionize the handling of artillery for the entire world. While numerous experimental types were produced and successfully tried out, howe yer, this motorization had not reached the point of production ha- fore the armistice ended hostilties.
