THE UNHAPPY UKRAINE

now compels the Poles to be strictly neu- traI in the case of Ukranian soldiers seeking shelter in their territory. The peace of Riga pledges non.support of Gen eral Petlura and all other enemies of the Moscow government The Poles must be wary of giving even any semblance of aid, or the reds may assert that the ar mistice~ terms have been violated and so renew the war against Poland They are certain not to overlook any pretext for the resumption of hostilities, as they are determined that Poland shall be de- stroyed.
 The crushing Of Wrangel, the rcut- ing of General Petlura's forces and the apparently successful offensive against General Balakovitch enable the reds whenever they wish, to concentrate on Warsaw They are too strong at pres ent to be irritated in any way. Realizing it, the Poles are stepping softly, prefer ring rather to risk offending weak nefghbor than to arouse their most dead ly foe Then, too, they may well believe that such stout-hearted soldier as Gen eral Petlura will not let his most re- cent reverse sway him from his purpose eventually to free the Ukraine.

 No matter how useless husband turns out to be his wife is glad that the other woman didn't get him.
 Some of the girls must imagine that men regard women as toys.. Anyway they keep themselves covered with bright paint.
 If he has bright Hue of Kidding repartee when he calls on a girl he is a trifler. But if he sits around dumblt like a sick sheep, he's in love.
 With women on the juries, it be- hooves . married man to walk in the straight and narrow path. Women know what liars married men are
 Every time e wringer agent or an insurance solicitor callss on a woman the other women in the neixhborhood have terrible. time trying to. peep out of the sides of the window shades with out being seen.
 Women are not entirely to blame for the indifference brought about by years of married life. A husband gets so that he kisses his wife with all the fire and passion ofsa bowl of cold mush

THE RUSSIAN BALLET

ing It took the Russian genius for
 music, Texemplified by dozen gifted com
 posers, the Russian genius for rich and brilliant coloring, the Russian genius or
 romance, and brought them together with masterly creative power, giving the world
 somsthing new in the realm of beauty
 Thus new forms of art in the past have
 sprung to enrich human life. the Gothic
 church, the painting of Giotto and his
 age the drama of Shakespeare, the music
 drama of Wagner, the sculpture of Rodin,
 forms differing in scope and elevation and importance but all expressions of a race or an' age, through the genius of great creative artists.
 The Russian ballet came to us first in directly through it's effect upon rson-Rus-
 siar artists, notably that of the German master, Renhardt. Interest had been aroused, in small public. by the danc- ing of Isadora Duncan and her imitators
 Then came the incomparable Payiowa but it was only four or five years ago that Chicago saw Russian ballet with it's Bakst mise-en-scene and it's magic accompaniment of Russian music We should like to see the Russian ballet given. a. permanent place in the American theatre; that is, the ballet-drama with it's vivid color and tone. an artistic unit We think the American public would ac- cept it. If the Chicago grand opera should experiment by raising the place given to this form of ballet in its pro- gr ramme, it might do a service to itself and to art in America.

LET RUSSIA ALONE

From the New York World.
 The soviet forces have not merely de- feated General wrangers army They have destroyed it. Even the French for eign office, as it views the extent of the disaster, must have some faint percep- ton of the folly of further foreign in- terference in the affairs sof Russia and the absurdity of the assumption that the bolshevist regime can be overthrown by czarist reactionaries. s;3 v :. The allies have had their choice of two policies in respect to. Russia, either or which might have been consistently fol- lowed. One was to let Russia alone, and permit the Russian people to work out their own problems. The other was to war on bolshevist Russia as the common enemy.
 The latter choice could not be made for the excellent reason that neitAer the British nor the French nor the Italian people would fight war against, Rus sia. and the government that did so ex- cept in. self -ecfense woufd be overturned. The first Choice might Nave been made, but for the obstinacy of the French for eign office.
 President Wilson, in his Polish note. charted a wise and prudent course that the rest of the world could follow with profit. Let Russia alone. Refuse to recognize the bo,shevist government. while it continues to conspire against the other nations, but respect the territorial integrity of Russia and wait for it's peo- pie to find themselves.
 l. As long as the bolshevist government can pose as the defender of the Russian foreign intervention it will remain su- preme Remove these dangers. and the problem wul eventually snIve itself

Must Alabama Forfeit
 S4OO,OOO Appropriation?

Must Alabama Forfeit
 $4O0,OOO Appropriation?
 TT was announced in Birmingham ll yesterday that unless something was done within the next 30 days to obtain a site for the proposed coal terminals at Mobile, the federal ap- propriation of $400,000 to build the terminals would be diverted to the Mississippi river.
 Though no official statement has been made by the war department, the business men of Birmingham and Mobile, who are most interested in this project, have received what is virtually an ultimatum. The war de- partment, and justly so, is tired of waiting for Alabama to accept gen. erous offer of government money for improving its port.
 1t is estimated that the proposed site at Mobile will cost only 37,500. For some reason the business inter- ests of Mobile have not raised this comparatively small sum, but the coal operators of Birmingham are deter mined that this district shall not lose what may be the only opportunity it will ever have to profit by govern inent aid in providing facilities to ex- port Alabama coal. They started a whirlwind campaign yesterday to raise the money, or at least part of it. One man contributed $2,000. It is said that $10,o0O will soon be in hand. It is proposed to raise half the $37,500 in Birmingham and call on the busi- ness men of Mobile for the other half. If there is no response from Mobile, Birmingham may raise the whole amount.
 It now takes week to load a ship with coal at Mobile. The work is both expensive and tedious. With the proposed terminals a vessel should be loaded in one day. It is under stood that the $400,000 of government funds has been on deposit for some time, ready for use as soon as the government terms are met.
 It would be disgrace to Alabama if this money were diverted to the Mississippi, sitnply through unwilling ness to cooperate with the govern ment in an undertaking which calls for a relatively small expenditure.
 We are facing test of our much vaunted enterprise. The fate of water. way development in Alabama hangs in the balance. The Warrior can never become a great freight carrier with out adequate terminals at Mobile. Marked Progress in
 Fighting Illiteracy
 A LABAMA is making progress in. EA the campaign against illiteracy. According to the report of the state department of education, the number of iiiiterates between the ages of 10 and 21 years at the close of the period between the school census of 1919 and that of 1920 was 61,153. This is an increase in the literacy of whites and negroes of 5.2 per cent.
 The rate of progress being made is such as to suggest that if it is main tained for the next four years, illit- eracy in Alabama will have been prac- tically wiped out. That forecast is of more moment to us than the promise of many steel mills and state high way system, because all things come to people with an educated intelli- gence making them realize their wants and inducing them to take the proper steps for their attainment.
