Direct American aid for Russia troops, more Red Cross workers, or money is being urged upon the government from influential sources today. Troops, especially the foreign speaking men of this nation, are strongly urged.

The problem, taken up seriously some time ago and rejected as impracticable then, is coming to the fore again. Aid in the form of troops would be given only if Russia were agreeable. The American position is that Russia should not be forced to accept anything she does not want, and she has clearly indicated she would regard as an encroachment any intervention by Japan. The suggestion for Red Cross workers contemplates the infiltration of far larger numbers of these than has been undertaken to date. Their work naturally would be non-military.

But their presence, some urge, -would he a stimulus to Russia and encourage the growing anti-Germanism there. Help Financially. It is held that strong financial reinforcements would give the Russians a chance to develop themselves, organize their shattered government and cement the anti-German movement. The state department today characterized the whole problem as military and left the impression that the war department was giving serious consideration to some form of help. Members of congress who have studied Russian affairs were enthusiastic as the "direction action" policy of friendship President Wilson is urging toward Russia.

Now Is the Time. "I have always believed," said Senator Calder, New York, today, "that our country has neglected its opportunities in Russia and the development of the last few weeks have indicated more than ever that even today with the proper encouragement a situation may be created there that will bring even the. ruling powers of that country i into greater sympathy with ours. We! now have a wonderful opportunity; which. I trust, will not be neglected." While there is scant belief among I American and allied military men that Russia could organize any el- fective fighting force in less thanj two years, increasing confidence is felt here that she can and must be saved from German I The President's address in New iork emphasized that any hope that Germany might have of getting peace in the west at the expense of Russia or other Slavic peoples in the east, is futile.

And as America's military position in France strengthens it will not be very long before there are more American troops than British in the west so will her diplomacy command added attention. This is held to signify that the Russian democracy is to be safeguarded unless it joins in the war on the side of Germany.

Hun May Win Favor. Some foreign diplomats here, however, believe that only a miracle now can save Russia from the clutches of Prussian rule unless allied intervention is made soon. While chaos reigns in Russia the Germans are gradually restoring law and order and may ultimately gain the favor of the Russian people, these diplomats fear.

We can not go to the battle fields of France, but in our daily life we can gain the rebirth of complete unselfishness. Thrift, always a sturdy virtue, whose value has been weil understood by all succesful men and women, today assumes a new and finer aspect than ever before: In the days of -peace those cf us who were thrifty practiced it because of selfish motives. We knew it was the best thing for us; we knew it would bring success and happiness. Today we are practicing a finer, grander thrift. Ve are sacrificing for our country.

We are denying ourselves and putting up privations and hardships, not because of airy personal motives but because we know that our country needs all the help we can give Selfish thrift is commendable, hut the thrift of unselfish patriotism is sublime. And because millions upon millions of us have become thrifty who never knew the value of this virtue before, th war is making a Dew cation of OS-It Is givfng a national soul that we never bad before.
