RUSSIA'S FATE. E HOUR it becomes more evident how favorable a Trotzky- 20,639 | Lenine peace for a quick German conquest of Russia. One hundred and eighty miles southwest of Petrograd German troops have ocoupied Dvinsk; the Russians have been driven | out of Rovno; a thousand carloads of food have been captured, also} 1,253 guns and 4,000 motor cars, not to epeak of a Russian General | and his army of 425 offi and 8,700 men; German regiments fron Moon Island are overrunning Esthonia, while northeast of Riga the! German forces have pushed steadily ahead from Wenden to Wolmar. In the course of concluding peace with the Bolsheviki it begins to look as if Germany would take Petrograd and as much more of Russia as may please the fancy of Berlin. There has been no more pitiable sight for gods and men than this huge nation seized upon in the midet of its struggles toward democracy and tricked and betrayed to its doom, wherein it becomca easy pickings for autocracy’s war lords. The Allies can only grimly watch to see how far the Imperial German Government means to strengthen its hand with Russian cards, ‘ But as to the bearing of it all on the Allied task there can bo no mistake. As Elihu Root wrote to the Congress of National Ser- vice at Chicago: _ Roesia, having estopped fighting tn favor of the kind of Deuce she admired, finds herself in @ position where, for the Dresent, ehe has nothing whatever to eay about the kind of peace there shall be. } We mutt beware of anything to the remotest dogree ap- ! proaching that. There can be no eafe peace talk save with a Germany on her knees. To her knees she must be brought. What is happening in Kussia means the job will have to be done with a tighter grip, a! closer concentration, a eterner determination to fight, endure and win. SCHOOL HOUSES AS CIVIC CENTERS.) N POINTING OUT that fhe use of public achool buildings for} I Americanization purpoacs along lines urged by The Evening * World should be an essentially democratic use, Miss Margaret | Wilson, the President’s daughter, puta her finger upon the element most necessary for the progressive guccess of the plan. | If the people of a given neighborhood can only be made to fecl that the public school house of that neighborhood is theirs, to be | th used by them for their own interasta and treated common possession, more can be accompli: claborate civic missionary programmes ‘n schoo] building is placed at the dieposal of As Miss Wilson caid to The Fvenirg Wor’ If the people of New York wore free to une their schoo) bulldings as they saw fit the activities tu tlie ‘choo! bulldings would exprese the Individualitias of the grows using them and would, therefore, be immensely wort) w!i'ls, because they would exprees their own {deas and not ‘ew tmnosed from above, The eame principle of self-expression yoverns the whole plan, in- @orsed by Miss Wilson, in which neighborhool organizations, each centering in a public school and each electing anfexecutive officer or} agent, wovld recognize themsclves as self-determiging parts of a com-| munity made up of such centers, and itself repimented by one Com- munity Secretary or Administrator who should te a man big enough | to ciggest, develop, co-ordinate and also act as a medium of inter: | course between the people and their Government, local, State and National. 6 ! The systematic use of echool buildings in an Americanization movement as thus outlined should have the heartiest approval and | co-operative interest of the Board of Education of this city | Put Americanization on the right basis. There is no question who owns the school buildings. Give the owners direct, democratic tae of tho promises out of schoo) hours.
