THE ROOT COMMISSION

The American commission to Russia has finished its work.. The report that it makes as to conditions in that country is very encouraging. “We found,’’ says Air. Root in a statement given out recently, “no organic or incurable malady in the Russian democracy. Democracies are always in trouble, and tve have seen days just as dark in the progress of our own.’’ The commission bases its conclusion* on a wide investigation. Officials of the new- government, members of the various councils, soldiers and sailors were all questioned. As a result the commission convinced itself that underneath’ all superficial 'differences there was a patriotic purpose, not different from that showed by other democracies when at war with autocracies.

Certainly the army is doing its part. It has split, the Austro-Ger-tman line in. two, captured thousands of prisoners, and is in possession of the city that is recognized as the key to Lemburg, the capital of Galicia. There are indications of another great offensive in the north, which, of course, - would be carried on by the. army closest to Petrograd, and most under its influence. The Russian army seems to have been regenerated. A few days ago a French'man compared it to the armies of revolutionary France 100 an# more years ago. Back of the araiy is a population that is greatly angered by the propaganda, and that seems to have a real national Spirit. Mr. Root sums up ’ the<situation as follows: We must remember, that a people in whom all constructive effort has been suppressed for so long

can not immediately develop a genius for quick action. The first stage is necessarily cce of debate. The solid, admirable traits in the Russian character will pull the nation through the present crisis. Natural love of law and order and capacity for local self-government have been demonstrated every day since the revolution. The country s most Serious lack is money and adequate transportation. We shall do what we can to help Russia in both. # ' There must be. a reorganization of Russia’s economic, as well as political life. In that work we can be of the greatest service. On the whole, the outlook is cheering. Thkt Russia proposes to- fight she has already proved.' There will be troubles, of course, but then we should remember that, as Mr. Boot very truly says, “democracies are always in trouble.” Reports from Berlin indicate that even autocracies do not always have smooth sailing.

AMERICAN AIMS

The American people and their government have but two objects, in this ’ war—the! crushing defeat of the German rule, and'the abso-. lute overthrow of the house Ci ilolienzollern and its theory es autocracy. We have no interest whatever in the distribution of territory after the war except that it shall be made in such a way as to satisfy the' jieople inhabiting the territory, and to make more probable the future peace of the world. It is much too early to begin tbs discussion of peace terms in detail. All that is necessary 'is that the world shall know that we are absolutely disinterested. We expect to get nothing material oat of the war except an enormous burden of debt. Indemnities we do not seek —-and would scorn if they were offered to us. We have more territory now than we know what to do with. There is no . chance whatever for us to*. “make -anything'' out of the war. But we do demand that the Prussian spirit be humbled and that the government and people of Germany be made to realize that they are defeated. In no other 'way can the world be made “safe for democracy.” As peace was made forty and more years ago at Versailles,, so now it must be made at Potsdam. We cap have no dealings of any sort with the present German government which, as the President has very truly said, can never be our friend. This is. a case in which there must be, destruction before there can be the remotest possibility of- reconstruction. Napoleon was more dangerous than the kaiser only because he was a man compared with whom in ability the kaiser is a~ch|ldBut he was a much mdre modern man. He was the product of forces that worked for freedom, whfxe the A-aiser is the product of medievalism.

We Amerfca ns need not bother ourselves about peace programs, for our job is to win ‘this war for liberty and democracy, it may not be won till the allied armies march through the streets of Berlin. For we are fighting, not people, but an intellectual temper, a state of mind. Those who set out

TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

to impose laws on. the world must be made to realize that the world is greater than they. Our great mission in this war is to make that fact so clear that even Von Reventlow can not' mistake or misinterpret it.—lndianapolis News.

BAIL, ROW OR GO ASHORE

At the last census the United States contained 2,250,000 million white males, 21 years of age or ov- r. who were not citizens and had not declared an intention of becoming citizens. Many of them are - of the central powers. But many others are subjects of the allied powers; and a recent act of congress authorizes the enlistment and recruiting of them for military service under their own flags. The enlistment and recruiting ought to proceed briskly. This is a poor time for a man without , a country. " The naan who chooses to live in ■the United States because he finds it offers him attractions- and opportunities superior to those in his own country, and who yet rejects its-offer of citizenship, is always in rather the dubious position of the passenger who insists upon keeping his seat in the boat, hut de- ; ciia.es either to hail or row. If he did not find superior opportunities here he would not he here; yet he refuses to aeknowledge any. ligation to the community that made the opportunities. . Sometimes —according to our unfortunate experience—the man. who grabs American opportunities with one hand and. waves off American: citizenship with the other finds it necessary to . justify himself by wholesale and chronic disparagement of the country he prefers to his own so far as living in it is concerned. He does not like his own country well enough to live in [ it, and he does not like this ? oicmry well euqugh to express any OblizatioEs” toward; it or approval ofjt. Apparently nothing short. of heaven will satisfy- him to such a i- it—•• that he can really' accept it. This is a' poor time for such playing heads-I-win-tails-you-1 os e with citizenship. Some pretty big issues are astir in the-world today. Let a man .choose a flag.—-Satur-day Evening Post,

INDIANA CLAIMS 7,000 CREDIT

Indianapolis, July 10. —Indiana is claiming 4.556 credits for men enlisted in state service and a total of approximately' 7,000 credits for men serving in all branches of military service, according to a telegram sent to Washington yesterday by State Conscription Agent Jesse Eschbaugh. All men enlisted in the service of the "United States from Indiana prior to June 30 are included in the list, with the exception of naval enlistments. The number of men enlisted ;Jrom Indiana wi 11 be deducted from the number that is required under the conscription, it is stated.
