his message, which is, "Down with America, it's all Wrong." So much for the man who came from Europe to wreck America. Now look at the Man Who Went to Europe to Save America and is now back on the west side of the Statue of Liberty. Does he look interested in Bolshevism Or downhearted over America? No. In his figure a manful contrast to the scraggly agitator. In his face no hate, no malice. He does not even hate the self-deluded agitator. His clean-brushed teeth are exposed by a good-humored smile of assurance and confidence. He does not extend a fist but he waves off the fool Bolshevik orator with a good-natured but nevertheless final answer. And here it is: "Go on--Take That Stuff Back to Where You Got it--I Wouldn't Trade a Log Hut on a Swamp in America for the Whole of Europe!" We are thinking that the cartoon just about says it for all returned soldiers from North Russia. We want nothing to do with the Bolo agitator in this country who would make another Russia of the United States. We let them blow off steam, are patient with their vagaries, are willing to give every man a fair hearing if he has a grievance, but we don't fall for their wild ideas about tearing things up by the roots.

Orator standing crouched on soapbox on the right. Orator is holding a paper saying "Down with America! It's all wrong!"

WITH TROOPS Justice Where Justice Is Due--Summary Of Work Of "Y" Men--"Y" Women And Hostess House--Seen Near Front--Devoted Women Stay In Russia When We Leave--Christian Associations Point Way To Help Russia. The editors have felt that "justice where justice is due" demands a few pages in this volume about the service of our Y. M. C. A. with us in North Russia. We know that there is a great deal of bitterness against the "Y." Much of it was engendered by the few selfish and crooked and cowardly men who crept into the "Y" service, and the really great service of the Y. M. C. A. is badly discounted and its war record sadly sullied. We know that here and there in North Russi
