THE BOYS ARE COMtNG HOME. The boys are coming home. Without his left leg. John George is back in Hammond from the battle fields of France.' There is no sour smile on his face. He is happy and cheerful, lie gave it gladly and would give it over again if it was neces Bry. Somehow the boys who. are coming home from can tonments look a little shame faced as they see Private George because they will see no war. They have notli ing to be ashamed of. They were ready for it and wanted to go, but peace came before they started over. They did'their duty and are to be credited with a sol dier's record although they did not reach the danger point. They are fortunate, probably, on that account, but that circumstance does not detract from their honor as soldiers. Had they gone, all of them would have done their duty. AVe are glad they did not have to go: that they can go home now and resume the duties of life which they left weeks ago. These duties are more important than fighting; and it is possible that the little experiences these soldiers had in camp, in turning theii thoughts toward privations and sacrifice? will help them to meet with brave hearts the emergencies of the future. They are the defenders of democracy, whether in field, mill, store or office. They are better for having got ready to figh'.

BRANDED AS A PARIAH. A short time after the armistice signatories when the appeals began coming out of Germany for food, there w9 a disposition on the part of many people in tht Vnited States whose thinking of war conditions was su perficial to feel a pity for Germany. Soon after that, however, when it appeared that these whining appeals were part of a vicious propaganda designed to deceive the allies and the United States, there was a reaction and the world said: "Live up to the armistice, let matters take their course." Three weeks have passed since then and out of Ger many have come such horrible stories regarding the tin paralleled brutal treatment, of prisoners that the world stands aghast and horrified. If Germany had been so Inclined to make a good impression she could in a small measure at least have softened the heart of the world by showing it that with war a thing of the past, she could exercise at least a vestige of mercy. We all know how Germany treated her enemy prisoners during the war time and how. during the last four years, men have been deliberately starved within sight of food; wounded and left helpless for days and weeks together; flogged; shot at sight and at will; herded Into cattle trucks, wedged so tieht that there was hardly room to breathe, and left for daj'3 without food or water; how the inmates of whole camps have, by careful organization, been kept without sleep, left to starve, or to perish with the cold; and how in prison camps of Germany were to be found carefully regulated and skillfully devised Instruments of torture, which were not the inhuman device of some brutalized soldier, but deliberately planned and standardized machinery, fabricated under the direction of German professors and doctors. Germany, when the armistice was signed, determined to go the limit in her shameless brutalities. She determined to live up to the true meaning of the Hun. In hei savagery he stood pat and committed her final ou're on civilization. Not caring a rap for the poor suffering devils wh had been overworked, underfed and poorly clothed for years In her dirty, filthy holes of prison camps, she turned them loose in even worse shape. "Along the roads that lead to the allied lines," runs a recent report, "from territory that is still in German hands, there passed today pitiful processions of broken starving men, prisoners newly released from prison camps In Belgium. The sight of them makes one's heart ache They are mere shadows of men in rags and tatters, stumbling along rough stone road". The Germans opened the doors of their cages and told them they could go. Tbey walked into free air like men in a dream, and were set

DON'T FORGET RUSSIA! The events of the next few weeks will decide the future of the entire world, and, among other nations, th future of Russia. One event which will exert a great influence upon the future of Russia has already occurred. The allied fleet is passing through the Dardanelles, and the moment is probably not distant when we will see an allied army in Southern Russia co-operating with the best elements of the Russian people against the Germans and their tools and agents. The German espionage system in Russia is an enormous, well organized machine. There is no doubt that since German spies have been working almost openly in Russia during1 the past year, the allied general staff has sufficient information which will enable it to see that the evacuation of Russia's territory by the German elements will be complete. The Rolsheviki who rule in part of Central Russia by means of mass terror, are' able to stay in power only through German support. As soon

as this support is withdrawn, the population will overthrow them. The, appearance of an allied fleet in the Black Sea and the evacuation of Russia by the German elements, both constitute a death blow to Bolshevism. It is difficult to predict the trend of events? but it is very probable that after the overthrow of the Bolsheviki in Moscow,, the directorate of five, chosen at the congress of Ufa, as the all-Russian Provisional Government, will move from Omsk to Moscow, and upon arrival in the capitol, will begin to speak for the country and probably after a rrtain reorganization, will be able to send delegates to the peace conference. The overthrow of Bolshevism will release th; armies now operating against the German-Bolshevist forces, and they will be used by the Provisional Government for safeguarding order during the period of reeonstrue tlon, until the municipalities and zemssvos. elected on the basis of universal suffrage, are re-established, and the all-Russian constituent assembly, representing all

classes and nationalities of Russia, defines the consti-i"

tution of the tate and solves the main social and political problems. The stream of events brings a very Important prob lem to the surface. Germany has accepted the terms

of the armistice. Thev mean unconditional surrender,

the tonnage now used for transferring to France ten thousand American soldiers daily and for supplying them will ba released. Until now the lark of tonnage has been one of the fundamental conditions that has hampered the allies and the United States in rendering any considerable help to Russia. The other candlTlon preventing allied telp, as fa as the most-suffering the central part of Russia Is concerned, has been the impossibility for the allies to reach it under the GermanBolshevist rule. With this removed, with the Black and, probably very soon, the Baltic Sea open, with the tonnage necessary for transferring American soldiers to France released, the allies and the United States will have every possibility for rendering effective economic help to Central Russia. The importance of this problem should not be underestimated. From point of view of Russia's national existence the danger Is almost past, since Germany is beaten and no peace was possible unless the GermanBolshevist treaty was torn into bits. From point of view of suffering, however, the worst is still before Russia, already drenched in blood and tears. Lord Cecil estimated Russia's possible losses during th coming winter as twenty million. This estimate is probably overdrawn, but it is safeo say that beginning with January ten of thousands will daily fall from hunger fn the cities and villages of Central Russia, and the final result of this epidemic of hunger may express itself in several mililons. At this hour of allied victory Russia's sacrifices for the cause of democracy should be properly acknowledged Russia's sacrifices in fhis war total eight million men. Of thi? over three million were actually killed, and about a million more are disabled for life. Over a half million of her officers and soldiers died in prison camps unabl to endure the German treatment. The weariaess and the final breakdown of Austria-Hungary, which con-

j stitutes one of the decisive moments in the entire cam

paign, is due not only to te splendid allied and kalian attacks, but also to the heroic eflrts of th Russian armies which, poorly armed and equipped, hammered Austria for three years. To quote only one instance, in led by General Brussilov, the Russian armies have delivered Austria a mighty blow, taking half a million prisoners in a steady offensive lasting ninety days. For three years the Russian armies were doing their share, and if now the banners of democracy are
