Whether order will be restored in Russia depends up
on the soldiers and the workmen. Thcv have their council
which is taking a decisive part in the affairs of govern
ment. Tire calling of an international socialist confer
ence in Stockholm on July 8 is part of the program of the
Russian soldiers -workmens council. The Russian pro
pagandists have definitely determined upon a program of
peace without annexation. Thus Russia renounces its
dream of expansion and abandons its threat of driving
out the lurk Jroni Europe no doubt Russia s "attitude
is a serious embarassmeut to the Allies. The only
way that Germany can be weakened in Central Europe is
to create an independent Poland, to restore Serbia to a
strong position, to reestablish Roumania, to restore Alsace
Lorraine to Prance and to reestablish Belgium. If Russia
grants a separate peace .to Germany, she will be virtually
joining Germany's cause and would be considered an ally
of the Kaiser. The whole world is playing a gigantic and
costly game of eliess. None of the players is moving fov
peace, except Russia. The weakness of the latter may
force the Allies to abandon their desires to obtain a huge
indemnity from Germany. If this happens it will be a
drawn battle and the present war will not accomplish much
toward world peace.

THE CHINESE REVOLUTION.
the world Avar and Japan to take advantage of the Chi
nese revolution to establish a protectorate over that un
happy republic. It seems as if the world has almost all
the troubles that it can bear. Perhaps one of the duties of
the Allies will be to establish a stable government in
China.
O
America is in the war and only one outcome can be con
sidered possible by Americans. That is victory. To
achieve victory the country must furnish the sinews of
war. With victory will come peace and therefore each
purchaser of a Liberty Loan Bond may be considered an.
agent of peace.
O
WHY "LIBERTY LOAN?"
The $5,000,000,000 bond issue of ttiis year is named "The
Liberty Loan of 1917" because it is to be a loan from a free'
people to be used in freeing the world.-
It is the loan of a liberty-loving people to be devoted to
the establishment of liberty in Europe and on the high,
seas. ' - ..... ...
It is the loan of .the great democracy of the New World:
to redress the wrongs and support the' cause of the democ
racv of the Old.
