It is one of th" jjreat puxzles, and time Will have to .solve it most likely. W may console ourselves, howev er, with the certainty that any ac tion in I!u;-siu is bound to have its react iu!i on neighboring state3-- in this tase tierrnany and Austria To dtny th.it there are forces in those countries working powerfully for democracy is to close our cars to the sounds that have been emanating from the central powers since the Germanic armies first struck hard rock on the western front. That the forces of autocracy, pointing to the dt moralixation and chaos that will be a natural concomitant of the Russian coup d'etat, will be able to derive a temporary benefit from the situation there is no doubt, but as the worst elements of the Petro grad anarchists are eliminated, as was th.' case in the French revolution, the spirit of democracy will grow stronger in Russia and nearby states, and all the power of kaisers, jgenerals and nvnisters will not be able to kill it. Ultimately Ger many and Austria, particularly Aus tria, will feel the effects of the Rus sian revolution, of which the latest turn is but an incident, and it is up to the allies to see that pressure is exerted on the central powers from without so that their military will not be aMo to destroy the elements in Germany and Austria, as wa3 done in 1818. OiT.ci'd London, Paris and Wash ington, whatever their spokesmen may say, had discounted Russia for months, and the new terror is a ter ror only to those persons who have hoped that Russia soon would come back. V,"e cannot expect anything from any country where an irrespon sible element is in control, and we cannot cvptvt anything from Russia as long a-s the anarchists dominate it, except bloodshed. Wo must hope that Germany will be kept too busy to take advantage of the situation and thereby will be prevented from putting a Romanoft back on the throne and using Russian soldiers against tho friends of the cause they espoused in their conven tions. Given time, the Russians will work out the'i own destiny, but the country today is in a worse condi tion than it has been since the first revolution. It is not too much to hope that tho bolsheviki, who would bring Russia to ruin, will be check mated before they have destroyed the germ of government. A NEW RULER Estimated by the department of agriculture at 3,101,083,000 bushels, this year's crop is larger by 60,000, 000 b'ishcis than any ever produced in tho United States. It represents in cold cash, or in hogs and horses and cattle over $3,000,000,000 the amount of the Sec ond Liberty Loan."- It amounts to as much money, if translated into cash, as all the all'es have borrowed from tho United States since the first of April to help finance the war. Next to tho cotton crop, it is the most valuable of all crops produced in this country. Reing as how cot ton is confined to tho south and as how corn is more democratic, it should be hailed as the new crop ru ler. What Russia probably needs is a stronger man than has appeared on the scene since the revolution. THE MILITARY SITUATION The Record's editorial page Thurs- g day scarcely had gone to press be-,p fore the Associated,1 Press brought news of the Russian collapse, and caused us to draw a picture as best we could of the military situation in the event of a separate peace by Russia. That would mean the re lease of more than a million men from the eastern theatre, enable the Germans to assist the Turks in Pal estine and at the same time concen-j trate thousands of reserves on the J western front but all of this has not happened yet. j Assuming, however, that there will be a complete breakdown in Rus sia, the task of the allies will be increased 50 Der cent. The Middle Europe idea is dominant in Ger many, but it is not predominant. Those closest to the kaiser want Bel gium and a part of northern France, with a front sea window looking across the channel at England. En tente statesmen know this they know that the western front is the great battlefield, and on the success of the allies there depends the free dom not only of small nations, but France and England, the self-govern ing British colonies, South American republ'cs and the United States. Driven from France and Belgium, the Germans will be defeated. That is the opinion of the late von Bissing in January of this year. Bissing was the kaiser's governor general of the stricken Belgians. He shared the confidence of his imperial master and spoke his thoughts. It is the big task of the allies, therefore, to protect Egypt, Pales tine and Persia from the Turko Germans, and at the same time ham mer the Germans out of northern France to defeat the war aims of the Germans in the west. Haig and Retain are doing their level best, and all other fronts are sub sidiary just now. The German line is near to breaking, and a few more successful drives will cause another retreat. If the allies are able to push the Germans back before the Russians abandon the trenches, they will win the war. Hope in Germany will be dead. The kaiser's spokesmen admit frankly that with Belgium wrested from them, the war is lost to Germany, regardless of the results of German arms in other fields. The best strategy of the allies, with all the facts before them, appar ently is to hammer the western line; to gain a decision on this front. German ministers have taught, es perc'ally since the war, that the Teu tons are tne cnosen 01 uod, out proDi is not furnished as to when the change was made. We had begun to think that all mortals were of the chosen. Persons whose tongues trip on the pronunciation of the German name for machine gun operators, or whatever it is, should become ac quainted with some of the scientific terms in the German language Of course the bolsheviki will not be able to restore order in Russia even if that was its object and the country will suffer far more from its so-called friends than it would fight ing its real enemy. Norway has given Germany to understand that the sinking of a few more Norwegian ships will create a painful impression in that country. Norway has lost about 600. Cotton would have closed at 30 cents yesterday had the news from Russia not been of a sort to send anything down. ELECTION, NIGHT LONG AGO Henry W. Pitman in Boston Herald. Among the many who are giving testimony regarding the popular Journal, allow me space to say that it was always one of the old stand bys about election night when the well-known "Wl&rrington." (William S. Robinson) had charge of receiving the returns and the editorial rooms were full o f the most prominent re publicans of the state as listeners. There were no transparencies in those days, but the voice of "War rington," so clear and strenuous, was all that was necessary to give out re sults as they came from the wire or special messerger, the latter being. one of the chief dependencies of those times. "Warrington" was an authority on prognostication at such t'mes, rarely falling in his estimate as computed by percentages. He scarcely ever indulged in persiflage: or jokes at such a times, sober, sin cere and dignified.

Although musi cians can rarely be ranked among the wealthy classes, the men who play for the Philharmonic have con tributed more than $14,000 to the buying of Liberty bonds. It is gen pmllv hoi i eve d that symphony ' or chestras in the Un ted States ar made up largely of German musi cians. Although this was doubtless true some years ago, it is a fact that the present Philharmonic orchestra is composed entirely of American cit izens and that by the largest pe i centage of them were born in this country. j To speak in exact figures, there 1 are 42 native-born musicians in the orchestra. The natural'zed citizens represent 11 nations: Russia, It aly, Holland, Hungary, Bohemia, France, Poland,! Germany, Norway, and Belgium. Of these only 14 came originally from Germany oi j Austria and their contributions to ' the orchestra's total bord subscrip-! tion of $14,000 is ample testimony of the Philharmonic who are inter ested in the personal side of the or chestra's life. In add'tion the di rectors subscribed $10,000 of the en dowment fund. Jitney Service. HICKORY CONOVER AND NEW TO N Schedule ave Hickory b Leave Hickory 10:20 a. lu. Leave Hickory 2:30 p. m.
