MEADER SAYS RUSSIA IS NOT YET OUT OF THE WAR Declaring that Russia is not yet out of the war by any means, Prof. Clarence L. Meader of the literary cel- lege, explained to the freshman engin- ers at their assembly yesterday, how Russia's armies are still fighting on one front, and continue to be an im- portant factor in the Dar as an aid to the Allies. "People forget, in times like these, the great aid that Russia rendered in the early part of the war," said Pro- .fessor Meader, "her armies contri- buted more than half toward the'sav- ing of Paris when the Germans were within 20 miles of its gates. Had it not been for the withdrawal of the German forces, made necessary by Russia's great drive in the east, there is no doubt that the Huns would have gone straight through to Paris." "It was the collapse of the Russian army that caused the revolution, not the revolution that caused the collapse of the army. The men fought on in spite of treachery, among officers and' even among court officials. The Czar himself was 99 per cent Geramn and married to a German, while his min- ister of war was a pronounced sym- pathizer. "It was this condition of affairs that, finally brought about the collapse of the army's fighting power, and, after- ward, the revolution."
