RUSSIA SHUT OFF. It is too bad that Kussia has had a relapse just at a time when America and Americans were trying to do so uiiK-h for the country and its people. If it had been possible to establish a st;tb!o, responsible government at Per.rograd, Eus.-ia would have had the backing of -the United States during the remainder of the war and millions of American money would have aided in the development of the vast country upon the return of peare. As it is ail tho citizens of the United States are-getting are-getting out of Kussia and we will be unable to extend any help for the next generation or two, even if we are so inclined, for the revolution has prolonged pro-longed the war and entailed an additinn- al expense amounting to billions upon jus, as well as forcing the sacrifice of j an unknown number of lives. Conflict ing reports concerning the situation continue con-tinue to filter a:ro the At'antk, but there is not the l:ist ground for hoe that Kur-sia will be of any further u?e j to the allks in the war and no more j supp'ks will e sent arrows 'he Pacific! to Vludh u.-Luk or around Norway and SwdiD to Ar-.-haugel. We shall lie for-r for-r ; natf if KusMan t roups are not ued again.-t us before the war is over. In tiie meantime we shudder to think what will happen to Rumania.
