Charles Edward Russell in an interview here Monday. “Our one consideration should be the winning of this -war. Nothing else should be given a thought at this time. It is on this point that I.am forced to disagree with my friends of the. Non- partisan league, which I have taken a/ great deal of interest in, and in whose organization I.had some small part. | “I am thoroughly in sympathy with any movement which will make farm- ing more® attractive, safer and more lucrative. ‘But, giving the league lead- ers credit ‘for being honest and sin- cere, they must see that these better- ments which they seek can only come; through fenuine democracy, and we} cannot have a real democracy unless we win this war.

Socialism means change and it must be forgotten for the moment. The dig-| gest thing in the world to me is this’ war and our necessity for winning it. The situation is terribly serious. We are fighting at a great disadvantage. | The war will be fought out in Europe. ‘We will never face ‘the necessity of defending our own homes from the invader. But we must fight 4,000 miles away from home, confronted by vast difficulties in the transportation of our | troops. That is the thing that defeat-| ed ‘Russia. That is the one thing, I am convinced:after three visits to the western front, that may defeat us, should things go badly. There is the) _ possibility that this war may drag along to a point where the allies are exhausted, and where the United States, bearing the brunt of the bur- den, cannot amass men in Europe rap- idly enough to conquer.Germany, even thought we may have an unlimited supply of men and munitions here in America. The Russian: Situation. “America has an utterly wrong con- Coption of the Russian problem,” said Mr. ‘Russell. © “(The Bolsheviki are taken too seriously. “This party-‘has control in Petrograd,’ a’ bare majority in’Moscow and some strength in Odes- sa, and there it: ends. Controlling Petrograd, it was simple for the Bol- sheviki; with the army on their side, té seize the government, depose the premier, seat their own man, and send out: messages claiming Russia as their own. The report that Premier Lenine has sued for a separate peace, even if} the report is true—and most of the mews which we get from Russia is not true—is farcial. Should Lenine or! any other leader ‘seek to negotiate a separate peace the peasants of Rus-; sia, who form 80 per cent of the pop- ulation, would revolt. Lenine would have to account to the Russian peo-| ple. “The peasantry is opposed to the Bolsheviki. The Russian proletariat will never abandon the proletariat of other countries. They stand for a unfversal peace, and for world-wide democracy. It is astonishing to find the’ {ntelligent grasp of world issues | which the peasants in Russia have} Ween able to gain. ‘onthe Real Russian Problem. #"The Bolsheviki problem may be dis- miased as purely temporary and incon- sequential. The Russian army still holds the Galician and Rumanian fronts, it still holds 143 German army divisions. A more serious problem is the lack of sympathy and understand- ing between Russia and America. I -have been convinced ever since I re- | turned from Russia ‘that we should | send troops to Russia. The sugges tion has been ridiculed by our -news-! papers. They have asked how we! would.get men there to begin with and how we would feed them in the second place.. Neither of these propositions presents any real difficulty. We have enough bottoms to transport the men; Russia -has an abundance of feed. It is with Russia principally a question | of. efficient transportation, which the| Stevens commission and the practical operating men who we have just sent over will :solve. “The Russian army never would de- sert. American soldiers fighting in Rus sia. We must do something to hol that ‘Russian army on the trontier. The withdrawal of the Russian forces; would release at least 100 of the 143 German ‘divisions now on the Rus- sign front. It would free from Rus- sian prisons 1,500,000 German prison-} erk, every one a veteran fighting man. It} would: dump this entire .mass of skilled ‘soldiers on the western front, and would mean a terrific added bur- den for America there.

Russell, in‘vords. that glowed with fire and ‘life, traced the Russian revo- lution, and told of the wonderful ex- amples of sacrifice for the principles of democracy which the Russian peo- ple had made. There is no cause to fear the Rus- Sian people, he declared. It took the new United States of America 11 years to bring order out of chaos after the revolution. “Shall we not give Russia, laboring under such terrible disadvantages, as many months?” No address delivered in Bismarck since the beginning of the war has made so profound an impression upon everyone who heard it. Russell was interrupted again and again by vol- leys of applause. The audience hung on his every word, with an intense interest which at times was painful. And Russell dug deep down under the thickest hide. Cc. L. Young Presides C. L.

What is known as the Hindenburg ine was established last spring when the famous “strategic retreat” on the Somme front was carried out.
