Trotzky's Peace with Germany Students of the war who have unduly mphasized the alleged victory of German diplfxmacy in forcing peace with the Trotzky government, are deceiving themselves to a marked extent. Trotzky's peace terms leave the Germans guessing. Amsterdam dispatches, quoting Gej4man newspapers, say that the Germans confess, they do not know what to do with the Trotzky j peace. "Trotzky is a sphinx, who presents the world with a new riddle,' says the Norddeutscb :e Allgemeine Zeitung. The Berlin Tageblatt comments: "We have peace with Russia because 1 .here is no Russian army, but it is a peace devoic'i of any solid basis and without agreement. The quadruple alliance must now, as heretofore, st rive after, a definite settlement in eastern affaivs, which will facilitate the establishment of peajceful and neighborly relations with the Russian eople." The Lokal Anzeiger declares : "It is at once clear that it is only a.nother act of a one-sided statement, to which an y opponent can reply as he pleases. The demobilization of the Russian army is the only tangible thing arranged, and this cannot influence Giirmarry's future plans." Between the lines may be read ;a fear of the spread of Bolshevism among the Gorman people. Cessation of warfare resulted, it is true, from Trotzky's peace overture, but the fspread of Bol-

sheviki principles among the comnsvon people may develop an industrial struggle tvhich the war party and the newspapers dread !more than they feared the Muscovite soldiers on the eastern front. Henry Moshowitz, who knew Trotzky when he resided in the East Side of Ne1 York, in an ar

ticle in The Outlook a few wefjks ago, describes j the economic views of the Russian leader, which J may be causing concern in Gejrmany. We quote j one paragraph: "Trotzky's internationalism is rooted in eco-j nomic determinism. The world war, according to ! Socialists theory, represents the collapse of the!

capitalistic states in their economic rivalry for

world markets. To some of us this theory does not sufficiently take into account complicated race, historical, moral, and psychological factors, which Socialists dismiss with their well-worn word, 'ideology.' The internationalism Trotzky represents can be achieved only by a world revolt of the proletariat. Trotsky hopes to stimulate this revolt by Russian propaganda among the German soldiers. He has the abiding faith of revolutionists in the force of the revolutionary idea." In this phase of Trotzky's platform lurks the fear which the Germans have for Trotzky's peace. The Russian army has been disarmed. Germany has made a separate peace with the Ukraine, a great expanse of wheat country, which will supply the German armies with bread. These are tangible gains for the Kaiser, but What is to stop the spread of Bolshevism in Germany? Trotzky's peace terms do not preclude the dissemination of his propaganda among the Kaiser's citizens. The dissatisfied workers, soldiers, and members of the proletariat, knowing what Trotzky and his followers have accomplished in Russia, already have been infected with the doctrines of Bolshevism.

."Trotzky is a sphinx, who presents the world with a new riddle." truly remarks the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. This astute Russian Jew, possessed of a brilliant intellect, resourceful and endowed with a vision, perhaps has offered the Germans a peace that is a greater menace to the solidarity of the German Empire than was the Muscovite army on the Prussian frontier. An observer in The Outlook believes that "there are indications that the fraternizing of the Russian anil German troops ha3 done more to weaken the loyalty of the Germans to the autocracy than to weaken the loyalty of the Russians to international democracy, and that the anarchy

which the Bolsheviki have fomented is proving a greater peril to Kaiserdom than the autocracy which they have helped to overthrow." Vorwaerts, the Socialist paper of Germany, says the labor unrest which swept over Germany a few weeks ago comes from a fear of the workers that they have been mislead. Says Vorwaerts : "Any attempt to hold them (the workers) by

force is dangerous. All thoughts of an attempt to force on the people aims which prolong the war, aims for which they never fought, or to keep from the people their promised rights, can Dnly work as disintigrating factors. That today is our greatest danger." The brilliant Trotzky is not overlooking an op

portunity to spread his gospel. He accepts Bol

orld, Germany included. He probably believes tfdat Bolshevism will undermine the iron discipI me of the German Empire. The tone of the German press indicates that the editors have not as

yet fathomed his purpose and that they fear a

1 joker somewhere in his peace terms.

"Where the Poppies Blow" In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce beard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved; and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to lift it high! If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, tho' poppies blow In Flanders fields! Lieut. Co. John McCrae, author of "In Flanders Fields," is dead in France from pneumonia. He was a distinguished physician of Montreal and was in command of a Canadian hospital. Occasionally he wrote verse and his little poem reproduced above has won great praise. It has become one of the most popular lyrics of the war. Dr. McCrae in 1914 was on his way to England when war broke out. He cabled back to Canada offering his services. He was assigned as medical officer and saw service in all the actions in which his command was engaged, including the bloody battle of Neuve Chapelle in which the Canadians suffered heavy losses. Subsequently Dr. McCrae was put in charge of a hospital unit, serving continuously for thirty-one months in the hospital in Boulogne until pneumonia caused his death. The sacrifice of Dr. McCrae is not singled out because it is the only one worthy of mention. Thousands have died in the performance of heroic deeds in the great war. We mention it because

hundreds of us, having read and admired the lit tie lyric, wondered who its author wa.s. "Take up our quarrel with the fa! To you, from failing hands, we tlirow The torch. Be yours to lift it hiph! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, tho' poppies blow In Flanders fields."

Our Blue-Eyed Soldiers The correspondent of a South American newspaper saw the first Americrn soldiers arrive in Paris. The impression they made on him is indicated by the following exarpt from the Inter-America : Large, slow, phlegmatic, f!ie Americans filed through the streets of the city (Paris) without being affected in the least by the "parade.'" They are dressed rather as cenrboys than as soldiers, and they savor of the Far Wast, Among them there is no display of gold lace, no fine t,ri turnings, and barely an oak leaf, an eagle, or a star sb&ys on their collars or shoulders to indicate their rank., They are strong and healthy, and they are not warlike'. They give the impression of being good, frank, well trained boys; and they will get themselves killed since this is what they came for aj i they will die in the Dantesque waste of No Man's Iand with great valor, while seeking with their almost infantile blue eyes the maternal bosom of their nativei heavens and the soft hor

izon of the prairies.

The correspondent says our boys are not warlike. True. Neither is tjie United States. We are a peace loving nation No true democracy carries a chip on its shoulder to provoke hostilities. Neither does it indulge in secret diplomacy that may result in letting loose the dogs of war at an instant's notice.

But that does not ss;y that we are cowards

who cannot resent an irysyult. Those "large, slow, phlegmatic Americans; with infantile blue eyes" carry a wallop that inflicts damage wherever it lands. They are not (looking for a fight but will mix quick as lightning if some misguided enemy deliberately steps ory their big feet. Those "good, fry.nk, well trained boys" come from a nation thatis slow to wrath. So long as Germany hurled no) bricks through our windows to injure our womei and children, and did not interfere with our family life, we were content to mind our own business. But when the jKaiser kept on killing our men and women on thej high seas, dynamiting our factories, inciting our workmen to strikes and riots,

instigating Mexif o to attack our. southwestern states, our "goodf, frank, well trained boys," with their big feet ar.d horny hands decided they had ,

to put on their cowboy clothes to stop the nuisance. Our boys rrairched through Paris "without being affected in the least by the parade." Well, thereA? another capital through which the "large, slow, phlegmatic, good, frank, well trained boys with infantile blue eyes" are going to hold a panide, "dressed rather as cowboys than as soldiers, ,nd savoring of the Far West." Some of-them, of course, will not take part in that parade but "in the Dantesque waste of No Man's Larjf i will seek with their almost infantile

INDIANA'S PART IN THE WAR

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14. Indiana's part in the war was succintly set forth in a statement read at the meeting of the state council of defense today. It was prepared as the answer of Governor Goodrich to an inquiry from George Creel, chairman of the public information bureau at Washington eity, who wished to ascertain the state of public opinion toward the war in different parts of the country. The statement is as follows: 1. Number of volunteers for the regular army, 25,148 sent forward; 22,634 accepted up to February 5, 1918. (Note: Quota in April call, 5,400.) 2. Number of volunteers for the navy, 4,516 up to February 5, 1918. (Note: Called on for 800 apprentice seamen. More than 4,000 obtained up to date.) 3. Number of volunteers for the marine corps, 271 accepted. (Note: Indiana is very largely represented by old enlistments in this branch.) 4. Present enlisted strength of national guard, 10,417. April 1. 1917. the national guard strength was 3,100. Gain from beginning of the war to August call. 7,317. (Note: Three regiments of state militia have been organized for home guard duty and now are training and receiving equipment. State's sedentary militia called to action by executive proclamation has organized more than 150 com-

DINNER STORIEi

An. old Virginia negro had just received from the son of his old master in the north his annual gift of a bottle of Bourbon whiskey. Leaving the express office, he slipped and dropped the package. The old man scratched his hea " and gazed ruefully at the precious liquid trickling across the pavement. "D'Lawd! D'Lawd!" he cried. ' My Chris-mus is done come an' gone!"

Lucinda was testing the devotion of Arastus. "S'pose it is night and we are in a deep, black woods. There comes a bo'er constrictor a-wiggling through the grass: an' a wildcat a-boundin' through the bushes; an' a lion roarin' an' makin' for us a mile a minute. What are we a-gonna do?" "There ain't gonna be no we?"

A milk dealer of New York was consulted in his early days by a friend in the milk trade. "I've been roped in for two tickets to a masquerade ball," the friend grumbled, "hut I don't think I'll go." "Why not?" the dealer asked. "Why not?" the dealer asked. "Oh, such things ain't in my line," said the friend. "A milkman at a fancy dress ball! No, no most inappropriate." "Inappropriate nothing!" said the dealer. "Put on a pair of pumps, man, and go as a waterfall."

"I understand the lady magician gave her admirer the mitten." "Yes, but it was all in her business a sort of sleight of hand performance." "Do you think the word obey ought to be dropped from the marriage ceremony?" "No; let it stay. It doesn't make any more difference to the actual test than the electoral college."
