The Lives of Nations Hang on That Gird The New York Times discusses the Russian problem in these 'words: Precisely as if they were brand new, precisely as if nobody had ever thought of them or heard of them before, all the old trite arguments against intervention in Russia start up spasmodically the moment the idea begins to show unmistakable signs of gathering weight. Simultaneously there start into life a score of movements of sinister appearance, with Russian names

back of them, deploring the idea of any effective kind of intervention, and pointing out the great need of sending only money and shoes into Rus-sia-r-into the hands of Germany. We know enough of Germany's methods to be scant of courtesy with this latter phase ; but the first, the uprearing of the old and obvious arguments against intervention as if they were new and weighty, is perfectly honest and deserves respectful treatment. We are told, for instance, that we should offend the Bolsheviki if we sent an army into Russia; and we are further told that the Russian masses would misconstrue it and make common cause with the Bolsheviki. We are told by The Evening Post that we have no invitation from the Russian people, and that unless the will of Russia is with us we can accomplish nothing. We are told The Brooklyn Eagle informs us that the Cadet Party, which alone invites us, is not known to have any great strength or standing in Russia. We re told that Russia is "wholly mad" it is The World that tells us this and that it wants no "assistance from anybody except the apostles of classism, anarchy, confiscation and repudiation." We will not say that these things are true, but we will say that the possibility of their being true was obvious to everybody before the subject of intervention was brought to the front. And we declare that, granting them to be true which is a thing we do not grant it is still the duty of the Allies to intervene and save Russia from herself. It is their duty to themselves, to the world, to civilization, to the future, even if we leave Russia out of all consideration as being as unworthy as The World thinks she is. We do not deny that the situation is full of complexities; but we do assert that there is one single, simple, utterly uncomplex fact in it. That is the fact that if we let Russia go the way she is headed, the world is doomed. On the salvation of Russia, whether she likes it or not, depends the salvation of all of us. It may be that by intervening in Russia we

should offend the sensitive ' nationalist feelings of the Internationalists, hurt the patriotism of the men without a country, graze the keen sense of honor of the Bolsheviki. It is better to do this than to erect the throne of Potsdam in Persia and Manchuria. It may be that the Russian masses would share the feelings of the sensitive Bolsheviki, would indeed support them as against us. We ?(o not believe a word of it, but granted that it is true, we would run no more risk of having our army of intervention assailed than Germany runs. Germany is penetrating their country with open imperialist aims, and meets with no resistance worthy of the name. If we entered it with the banner of liberty, headed by a civil commission which made it possible to hold elections for a genuine Constituent Assembly in every province or town it entered accompanied or headed by a Red Cross commission distributing the tangible proofs' of our honesty and fair intentions they might coalesce against us with a fiercer resistance than they have shown to the savage march of the Hoffmans and Eichhorns, but we doubt it. Granted however, that this improbable thing is true, we could better afford to risk it than to sit by with folded hands, eternally doubting, doubting, doubting, while the German eagle builds his eyrie on the shores of the Sea of Japan. It may be that the will of the Russian people has not expressed itself, but it is not true that we must wait for that will to express itself, unless by that is meant that we should commit ourselves to the idea of never doing anything. For there is no way. in which the will of that people can possibly express itself. We are glad to see that The Evening Post, which advances this argument, is not quite easy about it, for it says: A call for intervention has come from sources far other than the "reactionary and privileged" classes of Russia. When "Babushka" Breshkovsky, pioneer of Russian freedom, can call for intervention; when Vladimir Burtzev finds himself driven by despair to regret the revolution; when the Social Revolutionists, organizers of revolution among the peasantry, call for intervention, it is plain that something more than imperialistic reaction is at work in Russia. : Clear, indeed ; and yet our friend would wait, seemingly, until the significant call of these original revolutionists is stamped with an p. K. by some plebiscite or convention or direct primary. The thing is impossible. We must take the matter as we find it. As for The World's ascription of insanity to the whole Russian people, we can not accept the possibility of such a thing even for argument's sake. No people ever went mad. When a nation has seemed to be mad it has been because its sheeplike majority was terrorized by its insane minority. If Russia were in this respect any different from France in 1794, for instance, then there would be indeed "something new under the sun"; something so new that we should have to reconstruct all we think we know about human nature. It is not true ; but if' it were still the rock-hard fact would remain that the madness of one nation must not be humored to the extent of throwing away the lives of all the others. And we hold it self-evident that if Russia is absorbed into the German Empire, then the life of no other nation on earth will be worth a moment's purchase.

DINNER 5 TOR IE S The rrofessor of English literature was endeavoring to send a telegram via the telephone route. He nad secured the attention of the clerk, and when asked to whom he intended to send the message he began: "Mr. A" "Yes." "M " "Yes." "Did you say 'B'?" "No, no 'P' stands for philtre, you know." "Oh. you mean TV "Not at all. I mean P P, for pneumantle." "Huh?" "Can't you understand? I distinctly said P; P, standing for pshaw." "Wh at?" "Confound you, P!! P. is in phthisis." "You go to blazes!" And the receiver was indignantly hung up.
