When Joshua under Moses, went out to fight the enemy, Moses promis- ed to stand on top of the hill with the rod of God in hand; and when Moses held up hand Israel pre- vailed, and when he let down his hand there was a reversal of the fortunes of war; and because Moses' hands at last were heavy, faithful helpers “stayed up his hands" until the ing down of the sun, when Israel had won. From this bit of history it is easy to see that the friends. who in time held up the hands of the « mander in chief, were truly loval. It is true the laws of a nation a legal standard of loyalty, and rigid enforcement of our laws com- pels clitizens to live within the law; but only the overflowing heart-loyalty impels the holding up of Moses' hands to the most satisfactory and speedy winning of the war. God pity the miserable creatures in our land today whose heart is se- cretly with the enemy; and, because of which they have not honest word to say that would help to hold up the tired hands of our chief-ex- ecutive and all the great leaders and fighters of the allied world. I can not think of a more despicable man or woman in the world than one whose loyalty in this midnight world- hour is negative; one who for per- sonal, selfish, or merely business reasons, is too small or ignoble to make, like the soldier on the battle fleld, the winning of the war the first if not the only business of his life Loyalty helps to win the war, and admits of no cringing before, or no skulking around. the issue, crav- enly waiting for the war to end To my fearless how great the of s solemn is the duty us, his his war- m- set the e an sense positive lovalty advocacy of principle,—not necessarily in words for high-sound- ing words, have, for the present, at least, been brought by our bhombastic enemy, the Kaiser, into disfavor, but in a heart-honesty, which, by activity on the right side, takable That individual is disloyal and rep- robate indeed who, in this uvrucial hour lacks positive interest in an interest true enough cause heart to warm up to his need and his hands to join those of all others who are fighting and work- ing for an uncompromising victory Today, when the finest manhood and womanhood of the world is fore- ed to sacrifice itself for the preserva- tion of, and progress in, all that true Christians live for, and while the sav- agery of German Kultur still threat- ens the world, is it too much to ex- pect that every citizen and sojourner of these United States shall be as ac- tively and positively loyal as is the President himself?

There can be no menace to the territorial integrity of Russia in a military ex- | pedition such moderate numbers, all told than an American divi- sion. The purpose of the expedition is distinetly set forth by the state department: “The only present ob- ject for which American troops will be employed will be to guard mili- tary stores which may subsequently be needed by the Russian forces and to render such aid as to the Russians in the organiza- of their own self-defence.” The stores of military supplies at Vladivostok will be safeguarded by the American and Japanese troops and they will assist in protecting the rear of the westward-moving Czecho- Slovaks. The Japanese and the United States governments are in en tire agreement; in separate state- ments, which, however, announce an identical policy, assurance is given to the Russians that there will be no impairment of their territorial in- tegrity now or hereafter, that the only object is to render such aid “as shall be acceptable to the Russian people themselves in their endeavor to regain control of their own affairs, their own territory, and their own destiny." The the of may be accept- able tion large these marks period in the relation of the Allies to revolution- ized Russia It marks, too, the end the long-continued and pe stent efforts in this country to bring about a recognition of the Soviet govern- ment by the United States. In part that attempt may have been the out- come of pure ignorance of what has been going on in Russia, of the na- ture of the Sovict government, of the character of Lenine and Trotzky, and of the certain consequences of aband- oning the Russian people to the Ger- mans and to their no less dangerous enemies in Moscow. It is evident that the feeling, so long prevailing at Washington, that the sending of an allied force into Siberia would be dangerous, since it might offend the Russians and move them to demand the aid of Germany to expel the in- vaders, has given place to a better understanding of the present temper of the Russian people. Bvidence, abundant and convincing, that the Russians would welcome allied de- liverance from their perils has long been accessible to all in this country who would pay heed to it; but there has not been wanting a small ele- interested in producing the belief and ful in ob- taining acceptance of a view which utterly misrepresented the temper of the' of Russians sending of beginning of troops a new of ment contrary succe eat, mass Newspapers Essential, (Meriden Morning Record.)
