Men and Guns Germany Gains By Russia’s Surrender When the Russian Muzhik trades his machine-gun to the Germans for a drink of vodka, as many are doing, he comes near typifying the act of his Bolshevik superiors in giving up their military power for an intoxicating dream of anarchistic liberty. Like them too, he may hit off the transaction with some fine phrase that seems to sanctify his murderous bargain. Declaring piously that they can not continue a war with the German and Austrian workers, they release those unhappy workers for transfer to the Western front where they may soon be thrown in masses at the Allied guns with far more disastrous results to themselves than if they had remained in the quiet trenches of Ppland. What is of most concern to the American people, however, is what gain Germany has made in men and guns by Russia’s unconditional surreisder, and in the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 23d, there is a careful examination of this phase of developments on the Eastern front, and other contingencies that may arise in the near future. Other articles of almost equal importance in this number of “The Digest” are: w President Wilson His Own War Lord AM Shad©# of Editorial Opinion on the Proposed Legislation to Speed Up the War, Either by Or Giving Groeter Power to the President The Ukrainian Peace German Cwomeirts» “Twcawa” Torp«h«f Longevity of Spies Here Japan’s Criticism of Our War Aim® Austro-German Friction War and Defective Brains A Captured Tank in Berlin Streets The Cost of Coal Analyzed Gas-Driven Motor Cars Electrically Heated Beds Creatures That Live in Snow A Japanese War Game Fats for Fighters Schools Send Their Boys to War (Prepared by U.
