Show AIDING RUSSIA. Evidently the United States has no present intention of abandoning Kussia to her fate. Even while the forces of Korniloff and Kerensky are lined up against each other and a battle for supremacy su-premacy may be on at any moment, the government at Washington is preparing to ship locomotives and car3 to Vladivostok Vladi-vostok in Japanese vessels, and American Ameri-can railway men will be sent over to put the trans-Siberian system in work-ins work-ins condition. As a matter of fact, locomotives, lo-comotives, cars and other railroad equipment have been piled up at Vladivostok Vladi-vostok for many weeks, and an American Ameri-can railroad commission has been, at work in Russia for some time. The whole transportation system ot Kussia broke down early in the war, and the condition of the various railroads has gone from bad to worse ever since. Just now it is a question whether the Americans Ameri-cans will be able to get the roads in passably good condition before tho end of the war, and it is also a question whether the factions in Russia will be able to compose their differences. The one thing certain is that so long as they are iu the fight against Germany they can get help in the United States. Otherwise Oth-erwise they will have to shift for themselves. |
