WEDNESDAY, DEC. 17, 1919
VOLUNTEERS AND SOVIETS.
The announcement that all drafted
men.-nere now out of Siberia is made
' with an assumption of virtue on the
part of the War Department that
.will, have no weight with the peo
, pie,. The department would have us
think that since the only troops left
, in' Siberia were volunteers It Is all
"rigTit for an American army to be.
- ttier e." ' Toi hose, however, who are
i. .taking any Interest in the relation
-t&fthe United States to the' Russian
situation this is merely an avoidance
of the fundamental issue. We should
like to know why American troops,
are In Siberia at all. The fact that
they are Volunteers-makes no differ
ence. ' ' " "-" . .;'
Indeed for the department to makn.
a special point of the fact that thfe
soldiers are volunteers suggests that
hereafter it is tq be necessary to get
volunteers for evry. duty the army
is to perform, and that is going a
. little too far. The American army
ought never to go anywhere where-
it has no business; but if it has legi
timate business to attend to it ought
to go without calling for volunteers.
Curiously on the same day that
this announcement is made there
has been received here sample copies
of . a magazine called "Soviet Rns
: sia" printed in the city of New York,
which is still in the United States.
The magazine is stated to be the offl-!
rial, organ of the. Russian Soviet:
Government Bureau, it is carried In
the United States mails, and its ed
, it'ors, are living tinder the protection
of the laws of the United States. i
Now we confess to a large amount
of Ignorance concerning present con
ditions in Russia. There are those
who urge that all those, Kolchak,
Yudenich and the rest, who are fight
ing the Bolsheviks are merely reac
' tlonary representatives of the old
regime; and there are others who i
say that the Soviet leaders are pur-
..ity. itself.' Having no facts we can-
not make any decision. But if, as
appears to be the case, American
troops "are kept in Siberia for the
purpose of opposing the Soviet gov-
erhment and armies how in the
name of all that, is sensible is a hW-t
eau of that government allowed to
( operate in the United States? -
.If the bureau is all right what is
the army doing In Siberia?

Time of Trial.
I set down this plaintive ditty in a time that
tries my soul ; for in our afflicted city water's
scarce, and there's no coal. And the river that sup
plies us is a mockery that't vain, and a cloudless
sky denies us anything that looks like rain. Life's
so dismal I could chuck it, with a Jast despairing
yell, for.I.Jiave to take a bucket and pack water
from a well. From the coal mines all the toilers
kIhave!Tj3patted,as I write, and we cannot first our
Jt)Qivlers,,aiio;ithere no .electric light. , And I haye to ;
use a candle that is made of rartcld greafye, arid the '
adjectives I handle would astonish the police. And
the ' street cars have been stabled,' and the town
has doused its glims, and a fellow is enabled to try .."
out his rusty limbs. Through the darkened streets
I stumble spraining foot and bruising knee, and I
grouch around and grumble when I bump against
a tree. I have many woes and bothers, but through
all this thought survives: It's the kind of stuff our
fathers had to stand for all their lives. When in
bed, beneath its tester, I am glad things are -so
planned that I'm not my own ancestor, with a can
dle in my hand.
