every n will unite to make this a
monster celebration and all should
give freely 10 the cause. No definite
date was set for the celebration but
1t is expected that 1t will be held some
time in june.
Both of the fire companies here
have pledged their full aid in thi:
campaign for funds and it is almost
assured that the celebration will be
nothing but a grand success.
Quite a number of the local boys
have already returned but 1t is e
pected that all of them, numbering
about fifteen more who are still in the
service will be home in May or June.
Anyone desiring to aid in this cam

ing of the Conference is near at hand.
1t will not do, either to overlook the an
omalous position of the Czecho Slovaks
and the grave injustice which is being i'm
posed upon them. 1t must be recognized
that in so far as Russia has been saved
from utter dissolution, and in so far as
there is now an orderly nucleus
around which forces of order may rally,
credit is given to that alien army which
practically created itself and achieved one
Of the most romantic and most splendid
conquests in the history of the world. The
service which the Czecho Slovaks thus
rendered to the Allies as well as to Russia
is simply inestimable. .I.as
We speak of it as a service which they
are still rendering; for the brutal fact is
that while we have profited from their
heroism, we have not supported them nor
relieved them. We have left them, we are
still leaving them, to bear the burden
alone. They are no obligation to remain
indefinitely in Russia, holding at least
remnant Of that country from ruin. They
ought to be at once replaced with troops
of the Allies But they are not. They are
not even supplied by the Allies with the
munitions and food that they need. They
are abandoned to their own devices, and
yet are expected to stand their ground
and save Russia for us. They beg for
help, and we answer them with fine words
which butter no parsnips; and nothing
more. We do not know of an act in his
tory more shabby and ungrateful.
1t was the United States that delayed
Allipd intervention IN Russia in y.pcpon9p
to the earnest request of the best ele-
ments of the Russian people. The United
States has also recognized the belliger7
ency and sovereignty of the Czecho SLOW
axis These facts should indicate with un-
nlistakable directness and force the moral
duty of the United States now to take
prompt and efficient lead in settling the
Russian problem at least so far as the
Czecho Slovaks are concerned-N. A. Re-
