DUT we should not be too opti-
- mistic about the further
part that the Russians will take
in the conquest Of Germany.
They, are still faced by two
thirds of the German divisions.
Stain may have decided that
he will not order another gen.
eral attack until the German
command has been forced to
weaken its Russian front by
diverting a greater proportion
OF its strength to western
Europe.
He may feel that Russia has
done her full share to defeat
Germany and that the rest must
be done by America and Britain.
There is the further posi-
bility that the Russian armies
have been cut down in fighting
power and the country itself so
weakened, that their offensive
cannot be resumed.
The lack of military informa-
ton about the Russian situation
makes the whole future pros
pect uncertain. Attempts to
explain it remain mere conjec-
lures.
But there is one action of
Stain that seems inexplicable
and indefensible. 1t is his re-
newed attack upon the Firms.
A savage battle is being waged
on the Karelian isthmus.
In a military sense the Firms
are not fighting for Germany;
they are fighting only for them
selves; for their Independence;
for their own seaports and for
their rights to live as nation.
1t il Stains own action
which compels them to aid
German resistance.

On the other side of Europe.
the so-called first front" of the
Russian armies remains inactive.
There was general expectation
that the Allied descent upon the
north of Europe would be timed
by an immediate fresh Russian
assault upon the German armies
in Poland.
There may be satisfactory ex-
plantations of the Russian failure
TO renew their offensive. II may
be only delayed. There are the
difficulties Of recognizing their
lines of supply after their extern

WOman's Club Opens
Its New Year Monday

Laurel Woman's club had its first
meeting of the club year Monday
at Mrs. C. l.. Morris home. Several
guests were present.
Following the business meeting,
Mrs. Marian Crawford, who was
delegate to the state federation N
June at Missoula, gave an inter-
esting resume of the proceedings
and described the fine entertainment
provided by Missoula club women.
Miss Mary Van Vactor, field nurse
who is conducting the tuberculosis
tests in Laurel schools, spoke on the
need for early care of the disease.
She said Montana had 500 boys re-
jected by ~selective service because
of TB. Ninety per cent OF the
cases admitted to Galen are in adj
vanced stages. Yellowstone county
had eight cases admitted to Galen
last year and three deaths. Tuber-
%culosis is a family affair, is COM
municable, and proper care must be
taken to prevent its spread.

be Oct. 2, with Mrs. H.. A. Carlisle
as hostess. Mrs. Carl Brenden will
be the guest speaker, and her topic
will be "Our World Tomorrow"
