A WORD FROM headlines only the turn of the battle and to count the loss of human lives and the destruction of property only as progress > or retrograde on the steep road to victory. Today our ears are still atuned to hear the noise of con- flict and now, after the first hysterical joy at its coming, peace has, so to speak, dumbfounded us. There must be ‘isober thought now, and sober realization of the fact that } the problems of peace are even greater than those of war, and Jin their solution. p) struction, yet we had no vision of the real extent of that 3 ee] and for democracy and humanity we must fight on in the battle of upbuilding. | Let us think not of a release from duty until we are sure our duty is at an end. Let us say to ourselves, “No slacking now. No relaxa-| tion until peace in truth reigns the earth with the sceptre democracy.” : Say with Lincoln, “....bind up the nation’s wounds; e for him who shall have borne the brunt of battle, and his widow and his orphan, and do all those things that ll bring a lasting peace to this nation and all other na- ; ° e Russia Biggest Question Mark What about Russia : The Russian Bolsheviki claim a big share of the credit the German revolution. Germany’s collapse leaves the reorganization of Russia world’s biggest question mark. _ . One of the last official acts of the old German govern- iment was to break off relations with the Russian soviet be B But the kaiser did this too late, just as he gave in to ch and abdicated too late. ff The attitude all along of the Russian Bolsheviki, as 2 ‘stated by high soviet officials, has been this: Ts “Between allfed military pressure on the west front r Russian soviet socialist propaganda on the east front many eventually must crack.” Last week when the German government ordered the ian soviet ambassador and his corps to leave Germany they had been helping spread Bolsheviki propa- the storm which has wiped out that old order in Ger- had already gathered and was ready to break. The day before he was put out of power, Peter V. in, soviet official in charge of the liquidation of the zem- os and the nationalization of industries for all Siberia, in detail the soviets’ plans. ix Utkin, a self-educated Australian workingman, had only ‘one superior in the Siberian Bolshevik government, and was in constant touch with Lenine. He said: 2 “The Germans forced upon us the peace of Brest- || Litovsk. That peace will help undo them. They must now Maintain peaceful relations with us. Every Russian courier ‘)who crosses into Germany will carry socialist propaganda terature. Every Russian who goes across the border, no longer guarded by an impenetrable line of rifles, will spread the doctrine of discontent among the German people. Every x from a German soldier in Russia will tell his home 7%) folks about the Russian revolution. 2 “The soviets have been in power the better part of a geal never expected to last that long unless the masses also revolted. Give us a year, all told, and you will see revolution in Germany.” Utkin’s words have come true. The first anniversary '\of the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia finds the kaiser | a fugitive, Bolsheviki in control of the German fleet, and a socialist government established in Germany. The Russian revolution has furnished the German revo- lutionists with their catch-words and their governmental machinery. Py Committees of soldiers and workmen are constituting the governing bodies of German cities and provinces, as they did in Russia. Pamphlets which were distributed in Siberia, issued by Lenine and Trotsky, were urging this. : When the Germans, November 6, ordered M. Joffe, the Russian ambassador, to return to Russia, they pointed out that in a few months he had brought over 500 couriers from Russia. Too late the kaiser’s officials discovered revolution- ary handbills in the luggage of these couriers. The problem of the new German socialist government’s attitude toward the Russian soviet government, which allied armies have been operating, is the biggest prob- | lem of the next few months. It opens the whole question, "now that the war has ended, of the basis upon which Russia /and the new Germany will be brought into the family of mations at the peace conference A Statue in Honor of Soldiers ‘aa The suggestion that a Statue of Liberty greet all ar- " rivals in Puget sound harbor is a mighty fine one. i As a memorial to the brave men who died for liberty on the fields of Flanders, nothing could be more ap- ‘Sas ite. , Some tribute should also be paid to those w joined the colors and will soon don to us. alkcatin What more fitting than a Statue of Liberty? 1 That, however, cannot be possible without whole- eee tes generous giving by the Retin a this state. a ntil a commi is organi: the citi: i | selves, The Star will receive contribationh, vo ype ) eg a The Star urges citizens interested in this matter to get | busy. ) To Our Congressmen The whole Washington delegation in congress, senators and representatives alike, owe a solemn duty to the citizens this state to move for the dismissal of Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson from public service.
