THE AppEAL mo- THE RussIANs.

THE APPEAL TO THE RUSSIANS,
The entente allies have nothing to
lose, it would seem, and much to gain in
making the present overtures to the va
rious factions in Russia for a cessation
Of warfare and a certain degree Of CO.
operation with the allies in establishing
q world peace. The plan, which is now
being tried, that Of inviting the various
factions to send representatives to meet
the representatives of the allies on some
islands in the Sea of Marmora, smacks
Of the idealsm of President Wilson, and,
indeed, it is said in Paris that the pro-
posal is the result of suggestion from
the American president. It seems very
ideaistic to expect that the disorganized
Russia will rally to such call, but we
have seen before this in the present war
that peoples have been somewhat turned
from their ways by overtures of a nature
somewhat similar to those now made to
the Russians. When the overtures come
to them, tired out with warfare, with
strife and with murder and pillage, there
is the more chance that the seed will fall
On fertile ground So there win be rea-
son to hope that the Russians will re-
spond to the call of altruism as expressed
by the supreme war council in Paris; at
east, there is reason to hope that the
factions outside of the bolsheviki will
meet the call in responsive spirit and
that they will eventually be brought into
union Of purpose which shall dominate
in Russia. If the factions other than
the bolsheviki can be united and be
taught to believe that the entente allies
win stand back of them in reasonable
purposes it is possible that Russia may
throw off the incubus of the bolsheviki
and stand on her own feet a stronger
and better nation because of the trials
through which it has gone. So there is
very much to gain by adopting the soft
ways inaugurated by the supreme war
council this week, and very little to lose.
Other methods can be tried to bring Rus
sia to her senses if this means fails.

THE NEW VERMONT JUDGE.

From all reports the new Judge of the
superior bench OF Vermont, Sherman Il.
Moulton Of Burlington, is well fitted for
the position Born of Vermont parent
age, educated in Dartmouth college and
Harvard law school, admitted to the Yer.
mont bar IS years ago and standing the
highest in his class, a practicing attorney
in Burlington for nearly l6 years, city
grand juror in Burlington, executive clerk
to Governor Gates, reporter of supreme
court decisions and at present senator
from Chittenden county, he carries a rec
ord of training and achievement which
seems to make him an acceptable man
for the position of Judge. His decisive
majority in the joint assembly of the
legislature may be in part explained by
the fact that he himself was a member
Of the Senate and, therefore, was person
ally known to a considerable number Of
the electors; but that does not tell the
whole story by any means, as the general
estimate Of the man is high. In his cleo
ton Orange county feels that it has been
honored, because Senator Moulton was
raised in Randolph and spent his early
life there before going to Burlington to
practice law. With one other superior
judge, Stanley c. Wilson, a resident of
Chelsea, Orange county people have rea-
son to be proud of the progress of their
sons.

reply.
