Russian Girls Married
y Yanks OF A. E. r.

MANILA, June iT.--Three hundred
or more Russian war brides" who
have come here from Siberia with
their American soldier husbands. are
TO be sent TO the United states oy
the Government as soon as transpor-
tation Is available.
These brides come from every sta
tion in life, from the peasant girl TO
the college graduate. and a number
had been accustomed TO the luxuries
OF life before war and revolution
drove them from their homes.
Their experiences In Manila, prob
ably have been a disappointment to
most Of them. as their soldier hus-
bands on their mesger pay OF $50 a
month have been unable to support a
family. house rent and food prices
having almost doubled here in the
past year.
RED CROSS AIDING THEN.
To prevent these Russian girls from
actual suffering, the Red Cross and
other charitable organizations have
provided them with shelter and food.
They are willing to work, but hsv-
ing no knowledge of English or Span
ish. they are unable TO fnd employ
ment in any OF the stores OF Manila.
ana native men anu piN'
ferred for house servants.
After several weeks OF investiga-
ton as TO the best disposition TO make
OF the war brides and their soldier
husbands, the army authorities de-
cided that they, with few exceptions,
should be sent to the United States
and there distributed among the army
camps and posts. where quarters are
available for married enlisted men.
These the department of the Philip
pines is not able to provide. Only
those enlisted men with wives who
have an income in addition to their
army pay will be permitted to remain
in the Philippines.
sTOwAWAYs DEPORTED.
Some Of the Russian girls who were
disappointed in not obtaining soldier
husbands at Vladivostok, disguised as
American soldiers, slowed away on
transports and came to Manila. so
eager were they to escape from the
turmoil and suffering which have pre-
vailed in Siberia almost since the be-
ginning of the war.
These stowaways were turned over
to the authorities here to. be Ieported
to the country whence they came. Sew
eral OF them were married at the pier
while awaiting to be put on board
transport for the voyage back TO

to remain here.

LET BE REMEMBERED.

1t should be constantly borne in
mind that the League of Nations is not
one mans work, not one mans ideas.
The prime ministers of other great
countries participated with the Ameri-
can delegation in its formation, and
President Wilson consulted not only
with Democrats but with Republican
leaders. and many of their suggestions
were adopted and Incorporated In the
Covenant of the League.
Former President Taft suggested
four amendments ana they were all
adopted. Charles f. Hughes, former
Justice of the Supreme Court and ke-
publican candidate for President In
1916, offered seven amendments, hVe
of which were adopted, Elihu Root
presented six amendments and five OF
them were adopted.
There was no "one-man-goVerh-
ment" in the formation of the League.

REPEATING THE LIVERMORE
ISLANDER.

The attempt to drag in Article
XIII of the League of Nations as
meaning the endorsement of traffic in
women, is perhaps the pettiest ana
most reprehensible piece of meanness
so far attempted by opponents OF the
League. A woman speaker in PaiI-
SADIE last week, following the leader
ship of Mrs. Livermore at Somerville,
N. j., recently, undertook to display
her spleen and ill feeling, to say moth
ing of her martness, by repeating
Mrs. Livermores Islander, and talked
quite rediculously about it, bringing
i'm the details of the notorious Mann
act-not a very wholesome topic. it
must be admitted. Article NNlll
states merely that it would protect the
treaties already in existence against
traffic of women" by enforcing the
treaties. Attention is called to another
article in this issue that clears up this
Iiyermore Islander conclusively. 1t is
very base politics to twist the meaning
of the League article in question into
a meaning directly the opposite of
what it really indicates.

With the great national election only
bit over one week off, the interest
has increased to a wonderful extent.
Up to two weeks ago there had never
been national campaign with duller
aspects all the way through. 1t cannot
be called clean campaign in many
ways. Mudslinging has been the order
of the day. There is no need to say
which side has been the greater Of
fender, for it is all too plain. How
ever, a knowledge of this fact does not
add anything at this stage of the fight.
Somebody is going to be elected. Both
sides are claiming the fight A lot of
spleen has been Matched, and names
have been called. Out in Ohio both
candidates have been villified with the
secret stuff" that was spread around
about Wilson in the last campaign.
This time Cox gets the gaff, and the
state chairman of Ohio, managing
Hardng's interests has been forced to
issue warming" that the secret re-
ports must cease. Might as well try
to dam the Mississippi. Why, these
things are so true, and so undeniably
so, that denial is impossible. The
same things We're said of Mckinley
and of Grover Cleveland If the in
ventive mind cannot canceive one form
of gossip, it takes up another. Cleve-
land was a notorious drunkard, and
poor Mckinley was mixed up with IA
widow, which everybody knew about,
just as they have known of the esca-
pades of Woodrow Wilson.
And so it goes. 1t is strange how
things can come about. The war de-
veloped a tremendous quantity of 81
knpw-it" gossip, and this campaign is
laden down with the abominable stuff
Somebody like Solomon once said that
all men are liars. Perhaps he did not
miss the mark much.

WE MUST BE IN THE LEAGUE.

A novel thought comes TO mind
about the League of Nations. There
seems to be no contention about the
United States having been the father
of the thought The idea of a league
to prevent war was long time before
the country and the world. Away back
In the earlier days of Theodore Roose,
welt as President the subject was Il
lively one. The year he won the Nobel
prize he spoke to the thought in his
communication at Stockholm, perhaps
il was, in which he went largely into
detail about the great necessity of a
League of Nations.
Now, the fact that America started
the ball rolling, led the other powers
all over the world to fall into line.
1.-The Villager," in discussing the idea,
SAYS: "Being ourselves the authors OF
the league, ours must be the final re-
sponsibility of maintaining It,"
That is the point Without America
the league cannot function, but we are
not chairman of the committee, not
withstanding we 'made the motion.
They all want us in and we want TO
20 in, but the politicians won't let us.
With America in the League of Ma
tons right, the moral force OF our
great power and amazing resources
would soon make order out of chaos.
What a name for power America has
II cannot be that we shall still balk.
We cannot STAY out. 1t is impossible,
brothers!
