tho world an opportunity to resume It's nor
NAL course Of life.
There seemed hopo for time that the
conference Of all factions staged to have
taken place on Princes Island might result
IN solution Of the Russian problem. The
sponsors Of this plan had tho feeling that
once the leaders of all the elements in Russia
could be brought face to face through friend
~ mediation, they could be brought together
upon basis of peace and order in their coun-
try. But this was forlorn hope. Tho en-
mites are too deep. Tho hostility between
the factions is too murderous. They seem
determined to fight to the end, and while
all this may be deplored by the remainder of
tho world, there seems to be no means OF
bringing them to their senses.
In view of this and the possibility that
Russians will be killing each othcr for many
months to come. the peace conference should
proceed with its treaty. 1t should give the
central powers to understand exactly what
they have to expect and to what they must
adjust themselves, and it should do the same
thing with respect to the allied governments
and tho allied peoples. Russia can be dealt
with In the future. If there is league OF
nations-and there will be such a union
1t can turn its attention at once TO Russia and
can propose TO the members of the league
policy for meeting the Russian situation.
But, by all means. the peace conference
should give the world peace, whether Russia
is within or without the pale.

the root of the manioc. 1t Is probably
tho principal food OF the Indians OF

known, OF which one contains hydro
cyanic acid. a poisonous juice: which
cess. while the other is nonpoisonous.
This latter variety is. however. gen
orally considered to furnish an inferior
meal. and is used chiefly as a fresh
vegetable.
In making manioc -four. the very
juicy roots OF the plant. which somc-
what resemble sweet potatoes In
shape. arc grated according to Indian
crystals The grated meal must then
be subjected to high pressure in order
to drive off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuffinE the
