Sun- Held, randldate for I'lilti'd tftnte THE PRESENT CRUX There was probably never a time In the history or the world wheu one nation, or a set or nations, had uch patience with another as the allies and particularly America, have had with Russia. This of course was largely caused by the fact that all knew she was tota'ly exhausted by the long struggle. Not exhausted in men. and not neces sarily In money, but the foundations of government were shaken and the vast armies in the field gradually came to realize their power at home nd to looW for an avenue of ac tivity to improve "their own condi tions. The first and most natural step was to dethrone the czar, which of Itself, was all right, but ages of serf dom had not given them the acknow ledged leaders necessary in such a erUls, consequently every ignorant upstart rushed Into the whirlpool to seek power and glory. Fortunately for the country they found temnorarily In Kerensky a safe hand to pilot the ship of state, tut times were unsettled and oppor tune for the noisy politician, who always wins favor from a soap box. He was on band and In many cases was preferred to thinking men and was elevated to positions of "honor and trust, only to play the clown, and to bring his country Into dis repute. More than all else It was Ger many's opportunity to work her fa vorite methods or propoganda td none know so well as she who the men are in the Bolshevik I that re ceive their orders rrom Berlin. The leaders may be sincere patriot, but throughout the civilized world they are under suspicion. Recent events seem to justify such a suspicion and to point its hand to Lenlne and Trotzky. "Why this sudden bluster and frothing at Rumania? It sounds far fetched and it will take more than the hot air of the Bolshevikl to convince anybody that they are not acting in the interest of Germany. Rumania is one of the allies and has Buffered untold horrors or Hun barbarity and it is very doubtful about her friends among the nations standing idly by and seeing the Rua cian government given over to the machinations of the kaiser, to still further ravish her. . What will be the result in this world war if the armies or Russia really enter Rumania, In an effort to conquer her in the Interest of an nexations, which it means? Win the people of Russia stand for It? ' Will they content to be blludly led by selt constituted dictators, Into k war with their own blood? . i What of a break between the en tente and Russia. It is a aerious matter when we consider the result of an alliance between central pow ers and Russia. True, she Is nut in shape to do much effective .fighting, hut, Germany will not hesitate tor one moment to overrun her and to take her food and war Implements and supplies for her own use. Poor Russia might repent until the crack of doom, but that would do her no good. The ruthless heel of the op pressor would be firmly fixed on her neck, and she would remain Germany's vassal, Germany's slave. McCumber's warning In the sen ate was well timed. , Great Britain has borne the brunt of this war and Is bearing It today. We must send 5,000,000 men to the western front and all that conveys In supplies, and munitions. We will probably all be on rations In the not far dlstantTu ture, and it is up to those who stay at home to rigidly deny themnelves the things that are needed at the front. You van get along without any pork, for Instance, If you care to do it, then do It and do not wait to be told by some commUnlon. You can get along without wheat. Do It. You can do many other things that are necessary. Do not wait for your neighbor to stop, but do It youmelf. Senator McCumber's words are Impressive. "Russia and Rumania are out of the war. Italy Is toning ground. France Is unable to make any headway. The wall of opposl- tinn at the eastern end of the battle line In continental Europe la crumb ling. Who can say how long Italy can or will ' withstand the Teutonic pressure?" toyal citUens are you doing all you can to help In this great stru gle? Re your own Judge, but think seriously, then act effectively. It Is np to you Individually. Before the days of Metchlsedec, Jerusalem was known as Sol y ma, or Salem. He, however, called It liter osolyma. or Jerusalem. 'It Is sup posed to have been so called after Abraham had received the oracle Jehovah Jlreh.

This great work of the Knights of Columbus, under taken under the authority of the United States govern ment, calls for the rawing of three million dollars of addi tional funds immediately to provide an ample number of these recreation buildings here and "over there."
