Recognizing Ienine

T seems bit strange that first one and
then another of the entente governments
should be called on to deny any intention
to accord recognition to the Bolsheyist re-
glme now in control OF Russia Premier
Lloyd George is the latest member of the
group to issue a denial. He has taken the
rumors regarding Great Britains friendly
attitude toward the Russian Soviet SO seri-
ously that he has put forward a statement
declaring that he never had given a mo-
ments thought to such q proposition
The fact seems to be forgotten by those
who circulate or take stock in the reports
that the allies inclined to recognize
l-enine, that the allies are in state of war
with the Russian regime. Allied armies even
now are lighting the Bolshevsts. They have
established front south OF Archangel and
are campaigning over area more than 200
miles in width More than $4,000 soldiers
are participating in the offensive. They are
killing Bolshevists daily and themselves are
suffering casualties.
why, therefore, anybody should assume
that the allies are preparing to establish
diplomatic relations with Lenine and his gov
eminent is mystery, Nations do not
have such intercourse with their enemies
They do not send their soldiers out to fight
the armies Of a government toward which
they feel friendly. In this instance the allies
are trying to destroy l'olshevsm. They are
trying to rescue Russia from the grin OF n
group OF madmen. They are at war with the
Soviet. by whatever name the present con-
iict may be called
1t is war which the people Of the allied
nations applaud. The only complaint is that
the war is not carried forward more vigor.
omsly. If the allies really meant business
In their movement against the Bolshevists
thcy should place an army in Russia suf-
hciently strong to do the job and do IL with
dispatch. 1t seems rather futile TO main
tain an offensive army OF $4,000 men in
Northern Russia and allow it to be buffetcd
about, often enormously outnumbered by the
enemy when perhaps $50, 900 men could take
Petrograd and Moscow in three months time
and crush the Boshevist outfit with a single
blow. Otherwise. the casualties which have
been suffered by the gallant little army now
in Russia may prove to he an utterly useless
sacrifice.

The Republican party's claim that it is re-
sponsible for whatever good is in the amended
league Of nations constitution is audac iouS,
TO say the least but, then, the party always
has depended largely on audacity for show

belief in the soundness Of Danton's philoso-

Oriental courtesy continues to express
itself. The Turks, after swearing that there
have been Armenian massacres obey the
prejudices of the opposition by hanging a
hey or two day for participation in Ar
menian massacres and then turn with bland
bows to inquire whether there is any other
little thing they can do to oblige or amuse
the company.

For some reason not yet satisfactorily
explained, enthusiasm of American soldiers
in France for the French people is not as
great as it was before the signing of the
armistice. II is unfortunate that such u
condition should exist. No doubt this state
OF feeling, to some extent, is the natural
result Of the impa tience OF the American sol
diers TO get back home, now that they have
