to the fact that the Russian crop out
look is the worst ever experienced and
that in consequence the country faces
starvation during the coming winter.
Lenine and the other leaders have
been making desperate efforts to re-
open commercial relations with Great
Britain and Italy and to make peace
with Roumania, but these efforts have
been fruitless so far. The Red sol
diers are mutinyIng and assassinating
their officers, and the Russian people
generally are in despair.
In Petrograd especially the cOndi-
tions are terrible, and all the inhab-
itants who can are fleeing from the
city. The Finnish BED Cross has just
issued an appeal to the Red Cross So
cieties of the World describing the
shocking state Of affairs in the former
capital. The population has shrunk to
about 100000, and thousands are dying
every month Of various kinds of cpl
denies. There is no fuel, no hot wa
ter for baths, no street cleaning or re-
moval of garbage and the streets are
becoming impossible because the paw
ing blocks are being burned and the
water pipes are bursting The hos
pitfalls are overflowing with patients
and their equipment is wretchedly in
adequate.
Death" says the report, stalks on
every side, waiting for winter to aid
in the grim work of moving down the
silent, hungry sick, and dying thou
sands. With streets and houses chobed
with filth that is already spreading
spotted and intermittent typhus. the
cold weather will finish the task with
pneumonia and abdominal typhus."

An acrimonious controversy has
arisen between President Wilson and
Senator Spencer of Missouri The lat
ter in campaign speeches, asserted
that the President during the peace
conference promised Roumania and
Serbia that II needed the American
army and navy would be sent to their
aid. This charge Mr.. Wilson branded
as absolutely false. The senator re-
torted that the alleged promise was to
be found In the stenographic report of
the eighth plenary session OF the con-
ference, In which Mr. Wilson was re-
ported to have said to Premier Bra
tianu Of Roumania: "You must not
forget that II is force that Is the final
guaranty Of the public peace. II the
world Is again troubled the United
States will send TO this side of the
ocean their army and their feet"
Spencer asked the President TO pro-
duce the report, but Secretary Tumulty
said on Thursday the President had no
stenographic report of the eighth plen.
ary session and, so far as the Presi-
dent knows, there is no such record I'm

If It were not for the people Of Cali
fOrnia and few jingoes on both sides
of the Pacific, the threat Of unpleasant
relations between America and Japan
would quickly fade away. The Amer-
can associations Of Tokyo and Yoko-
hama have cabled to Secretary of
State Colby n set of joint resolutions
urging that Americans "act with sober
deliberation and patience. trusting the
respective governments to find a So
luton satisfactory and effective with
out affronting Japan or sacrificing the
principles Of equity on either hand"
Viscount Ishii. the new Japanese
ambassador to France and one of his
country's wisest statesmen, is quoted
as saying: "War will never come be-
tween the United States and Japan
unless the United States seizes Japa-
nese territory or Japan seizes Ameri-
can territory. Japan has not the re-
mOtest intention of ever attempting to
appropriate any American territory"
He says there Is no trade war on be-
tween the two countries. and that la
bor and land problems cannot be per-
mitted TO be magnif1ed into questions
where war might be even envisaged.
He and other Japanese leaders assert
that most of the people Of Japan real
ize that most OF the talk OF interna-
tional trouble is due to the fact that
the United States is in the throes of a
presidential election.

President Wilson got into the presi-
dental campaign at the beginning Of
the week with long letter addressed
to his fellow citizens. urging them to
place the seal of their approval Of the
League Of Nations covenant by their
votes at the polls in November. He
said: "The chief question that Is put
to you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor vindicated and
the treaty of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve Of the
League Of Nations as organized and
empowered In that treaty? And do
you wish to see the United States play
Its responsible part in it?'
He said the opponents of the league
had mislead the voters ana had dis
played gross ignorance and impudent
audacity in their attempt to invent an
'Americansm' Of their own, which has
no foundation whatever in any Of the
authentic traditions of the govern
ment."
Following this lead, Governor Cox
and Franklin Roosevelt in their cam
paign speeches are now making the
League Of Nations the great issue and
are devoting to 1t most of their argu-
ments. Homer 8. Cummings, former
Democratic national chairman, also
has been called on and will speak f0f
the league in Ohio Kansas, Indiana,
Kentucky. New Mexico and California.

Senator Harding abandoned his
porch again for quick speaking tour
through part Of the Middle West, and
in his address at Des Moines he ac-

rejecting the League Of Nations COW

favor staying out of the league as
formed at Versailles he said be want
ed no acceptance Of the league with
or without reservations to clarity
Americas obligations, and that he
thought the proper thing to do was to
reject the covenant altogether. AS for
what he does favor doing in the way
of an association of nations. he said:
~ shall not risk embarrassing the
final solution of problem SO mo-
mentous by undertaking to lay down
in advance specific details or plans. AS
soon as possible after my election I
shall advise with the best minds in the
United States and especially I shall
consult In advance with the senate,
with whom, by the terms of the Con-
stitution, ! shall indeed be bound to
counsel and without whose consent no
such international association can be
formed. I shall do this to the end
that we shall have an association of
nations for the promotion of inte.aa-
tional peace, but one which shall def
nitely safeguard our sovereignty and
recognize our ultimate and unmort.

THE LONG, LONG TRAIL

Just because we have a law pro-
viding for national prohibition is no
reason why people should think that
liquor is forever driven out Of the
United States. We have at least a
S years fight ahead of us. 1t will
take that long to Kansasize New York
and Milwaukee. All sorts of consti-
trtional question will have to come be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court, and the recent close division
on the constitutionality of the Vol
stead law indicates that the court
cannot be relied upon too certainly
to sustain all phases of the law. And
then the law itself will have to be
rewritten and strengthened We shall
have to write in clause making the
whole country as bone dry as Kan
ssas. permitting search and seizure
and making the Fact that a man has
liquor on his premises prima facie
evidence that he intends to violate
the law. All these things will come
and then we shall forget all about
liquor and go after something else.
But it is a long, long trail ahead.
