The Cossack Advance

In the last month Admiral Kolchak's
armies on the front east of the Volga
have suffered reverses and been with
drawn toward the Urals. But this re-
tlrement has been offset by an advance
of the Cossack forces in the region of
the Don and along the northern shore
of the Sea of Azov.
British aid to General Denikin is now
having its effect. In a cable dispatch
from Mr.. Harold Williams to The Neao
York. Times notice is taken of the fact
that the Cossack soldiers are now sup
piled with new British uniforms and
that British baby tanks, or whippets,
are operating along with the Cossack
cavalry. The Bolshevist troops in
Southeastern Russia have no tanks and
have been stampeded by this new form
nj offence
The Cossack republic rests on firm
foundation. 1t has held it's own against
the Moscow regime ever since it de-
clared it's independence of Moscow at
the time of the signing Of the Treaty Of
Brest~Litovsk. Occasionally it has been
hard pressed. Last winter, Mr.. Will

The Peace Falsehood

~ The sinister suggestion comes from
'>Weimar that one element supports sign
ing on the ground that the treaty repre-
sents duress, and thus is not binding
that it will give Germany a chance to
prepare herself to shake off her alleged
shackles. Surely an interesting pro-
gramme!
Having not prospered during the cur
-rency of the falsehood that the war was
"'forced" on her, Germany may scarcely
hope to prosper during the currency of
the companion falsehood that the peace
is an unjust one. Justice is unattainable.
Justice, indeed The demands of JUS
tice have been whitfield almost to disap-
pearance. Germany has been favored
practically every doubt has been con-
> strued to her benefit.
And for this Germany is indebted not
to her power for evil, as she thinks; not
to any merit in her counter arguments,
but to something in the spirit of civili-
cation which she does not herself possess
and cannot understand in others.

The Belgian Call

re The President during his visit to Bel
GUM said:
- 81 believe that Belgium and her part
80 in the war are in one sense the key of
the whole struggle, because the viola
'-tion of Belgium was the call to duty
which aroused the nations
The statement is historically accurate
and the truth is its own justification.
The Germans along the Belgian border
fired shots heard around the world The
' attack on peaceful Belgium did not differ
fundamentally from the attacks OH
France and Russia; but the wantonness
was SO concrete, the crime so henous,
that great bell was rung; the world,
despite a propaganda which has poi
soned many minds, began to understand.
1t took long to organize the international
posse. Specific offence, as in our case,
needed to be added to spur to action, but
the Belgian story sank deeper and
deeper. The decisive battle did not oc-
cur in Flanders, but in very real sense
Germany lost the war there. Even Lenine
and Trotzky, despite their lack of sense
of moralities, squirmed when it was
pointed out that they proposed to aban-
don Belgium. The little country of
,dhe Meuse and the Scheldt was true to
herself and to the world, and what her
despoiler was compelled to pay will be
mighty beacon warning against ag-
gressive war;
That our President bore witness as
he did is not only of world value, but of
national value. The Belgians are little
acquainted with the minutia of Ameri-
can discussion preceding our entry.
They are not mindful of the Indifferent
ISM that once existed. They see the
America which first fed through Rookie
teller philanthropy, and then acted ma
'tlonaily before it was too late. And
our spokesman they hear declaring that
the voice OF Belgian heroism carried
across the sea. In view of the fact that
this country at last arrived, and now
these words of generous recognition.
there Is no disposition to examine nicely
whether our footsteps were always
straight to the goal. If they wandered,
ample apology has come, and to Ameri-
can historians is left the question of
who followed and who led here-who
educated and who was educated.
Americans are proud and sentimental.
1t is saving to their pride and agree
able to their sentiments to have It made
clear that whatever their mistakes thew
were not prompted by ignobility. They
are sensitive, perhaps oversensitive, to
foreign opinion, and they wish to be
presented properly abroad. They have
passion for wanting their President to
justify America to the world. Thus
they rejoice in his testimony that Bel
GUM sounded the call Of duty to us.

this sixteen-to-one" was about, any
how. But salt is always salt, and any
amount of "Big Bills" stuff was savory
and true, with zest and bite
He was the last of our village heroes,
and it is safe bet that New York will
not know his type again. We were still
village only this little while ago, one
one. 1t is queer change that has taken
place since. The growth of the city,
large as it is, hardly accounts for it
save on the theory that at a certain
point in size the whole spirit Of place
is transformed. We have no local
heroes comparable to the easily picked
out leaders Of earlier eras--in politics,
in society, on the stage. Great un-
knowns are commoner in business than
the great known. The theatre has be-
come vast industry, with idols of
every shade and description, suited to
every taste. Society is a series Of
groups. In politics-newspaper still
interview Chauncey Depew, and there
are no successors.
Perhaps personality with enough
bite might once again put himself over.
Mayor Gaynor belonged in that tradi-
ton. But the chances are slim. Not
so much great size as increasing COM
plexity makes local heroism very diff
cult of achievement. New York has no
commanding centre any longer. New
York is no longer Manhattan-or Man
haitian and Brooklyn-but city of
cities, situate in three states, and COM
prising variety of tongues, and habits.
and races, and modes of life beyond
cataloguing. Give New York rest for
decade, with no inf1uxes from the
West-or the East-and more homo
geneous town might be easier to con-
quer. But it would not be New York.

Woonsocket, City of Mills

(F'ron, The Yale Rcv4cw)
CITY of scarlet nights,
~ Into whose evening sky splendors Of
mad fame leap, crimson of blast-hre
lights,
Orange reflections spilled up and down
waters black, blood red of cinder
sparks
Blown over blurring heights:
Down on your canyoned streets,
Crowded with laughing girls, jcstled By
boys, alien with alien meets,
Sloughs off the ancient speech, breaks
through the gruff new talk;
Slowly each stunted soul into q new man
beats.
Maddest of music huns out Of your days
Millions of shuttles snort spesrine your
looms; drum of unnumbered feet,
rumblings of drays,
Roar out your wealth and power: banners
of gritty smoke
Dim the suns rays
He who has eyes to see
Sees you are beautiful He who bss ears
to hear hears holy melody.
All the high aims of you, all The gross sins
of you, all the fierce rush Of you,
Brawl into poetry.
Fables of fairer towns into your gaunt
squares flow.
Venice is rusty-white. Snaky brown sea-
weeds sprawl, barnacles grow,
Over her marble wharfs. Florence il
tawney-brown. Brown is the hue Of
death.
Shadows they are and ghosts. YOU
swarm and glow.
Womb of a nations birth, hulk with hot
struggle rife,
All the diviner things, work, faith, and
brotherhood, bloom from your bitter
strife
Laugh, Mother Of a-race, Shout oil your
rowdy songs.
Shout-you are Life,
JAMES CHURCH ALV0RD.
