Out of Siberia

Our government was never clear
in its own mind as to what it meant
to accomplish by sending into
Asiatic Russia the American soldiers
now to be withdrawn.
Their appearance there suggested
an act of war against somebody.
But against whom? They were
never allowed to fight the troops of
the Russian Soviet government and
degenerated finally into railroad
guards. Their presence puzzled the
Kolchak government at times. Their
departure will probably not dis
please the Japanese, who now face
the prospect Of having to fight the
Soviet armies on the line Of Lake
Baikal.
Our expeditionary force may
quit Vladivostok and the Admin
istration may wash its hands Of
responsibility for preventing the
eastward spread of Bolshevist
power. But responsibility is scarcely
to be escaped SO easily. We have
come out of Siberia in the same
manner that we went in--hesitat-
ingly and confusedly. We aren't
any more willing now to face the
great problem Of Bolshevized Rus
sia than we were to face it in 1918.
We are satisfied to draw aside and
let the Russian confagration burn.
We think that we are not yet en-
dangered by the falling cinders.
This is an inert and fatalistic
policy. The world pursued it while
Germany was getting ready for a
war Of conquest. The Entente
powers and the United States seem
contented to pursue it once more
while Russia is preparing to upset
the world with anarchy, enforced
by the sword if need be. We are
choosing the easy way, which may
in time become the costly way NJ
nler there is new conference a
Paris.
3nerc can be no assured peace II
the world while Russia remains
caldron Of disorder. We say tina
peace has been achieved and tn,
future will take care Of itself. W.
don't even put a bandage on our eye
when we say these futile things. w
say them with our eyes open.

titled as a Democrat it would be
enough-that the virtue Of this re-
mote cousin would be imputed to
his distinguished relative. So Mr..
Hoover may still regard himself in
danger Of being kidnapped. But he
indicates he will not struggle hard if
there is real call from the people
and the Republicans lack the vision
to see the new world.
Mr.. Hoover, both at home and
abroad, is one Of the most admired
of Americans. About the only alb
stainers from praise are those of the
agricultural interest who can't see
why wheat raisers were tethered by
q fixed price while others were al
lowed to profiteer freely on the the
ory that an increase in prices would
stimulate production and that the
interest Of the public was in in
creased production rather than in
low prices. How deep is this opposi-
ton to Mr.. Hoover--an opposition
which if deep would manifestly af-
feet his availability-is a matter Of
doubt.
The qualified and guarded discus
sion of Mr.. Hoover by his friends is
ilikelv To induce the p0liticians to
watch him more closely. Already
voices are raised whose possessors
have laid foundations for claims to
be considered original Hoover men
should anything happen.

Heywood Broun
wholesome life as short-Beach-on- the
Sound at Granite Bay"

In his occasional fragments Of dra-
matte criticism, Mr.. Van Vechten dis
plays the not unfamiliar tendency to
regard any piece Of acting discovered
at the end Of an alley as immeasurably
superior to those performances seen in
more exposed and public places. Thus,
on the strength Of the fact that he
first saw Mimi Aguglia on 125th Street,
in theater hitherto unknown to him,
he writes: mimi Aguglia, who 1 am al
most convinced has more genius than
any other actress on the stage to-day, if
we except the lyric stage, has fortu-
nately eluded Broadway"
But since Mr.. Van Vechten set down
this estimate Broadway captured Miss
Aguglia and she appeared at the Stand
ard Theater in "The Whirlwind." We
are willing to admit at the outset that
she must have been better in the Sicilian
plays, or even in Wilde's "Salome," but
in "The Whirlwind" she was so mani
testify devoid not only of fnesse, but Of
fire as we'll, that we can be by no means
convinced that she belongs among the
great of the theater. When a critic has
gone as far as 125th Street he is deter
mined to find almost anybody great.
In his excellent essay on the music
Of Arthur Sullivan Mr.. Van Vechten
writes: "No adequate life Of this musi-
cal genius has yet appeared. There have
been many biographers, but not one of
them discusses his music with any dis
cernment OF authority, not one of them
writes with trace Of literary charm" "
One does not need to be a complete
Freudian to surmise that the announce
ment of forthcoming book Of musical
biography may be expected just as soon
as Mr.. Van Vechten has fortnight of
leisure on his hands.
AS matter of fact, he will probably
make an excellent job of it. His essay
on Oscar Hammerstein, which is by far
the best piece in his book, is a shrewd
and brilliant bit Of work.
"It was not in Oscar Hammerstein. ]

den, March 9, 1878, and died in this
city August II, 1920.
She came to America in 1887 and
was married to N. H. Utman April
%, 1904, at Etiwanda, California. In
1905 they moved to Eureka, CAL,
where their son, Marion, was born
October 8, 1906. They came to Wis
consin in 1907, land resided in Cum
berland, where their daughter, Miss
Lois, was born October 5, 1912. In
1913 Mr.. Utnan took charge of the

Perhaps no question is of greater

to everybody. There are some candi-
dates rushing about the state who say
that if elected to public Office they
will see to it that high prices tumble
almost over night. Just how they
are going to do it they neglect to say.
