Until there is a distinct request for help issued by some responsible governing body in Russia, the jAllies "feel that inter- vention would only 'intensify the situation.

In this campaign she caused a vast and ir- reparable loss to the man-power of Austria and forced Germany come to the &id of her ally, thus lessening the pressure on the west- ern front. | In dealing with the helpless Rus- sia of to-daf these facts must not be forgotten. The Allies have mot been mnmindful of (Russia's needs, and whatever help can be given will not be withheld. It would be folly, however, fo send supplies or money that might fall into the hands of factions friendly to Germany, and be used against us.

"The founder of the sect, Charles Taze Russell, wag a shrewd Ameri- can shirt-seller some forty-five years ago. One day when veading certain chapters in [Revelation, it occurred to him that the mysteries in the book had mever beén properly ex- plained, and that by a fortunate co- incidence he was qualified to eluei- date them. This he proceeded to at first to his customers, and then, as they qaded away, to any idie crowd that he could get to listen. He concluded presently that there was more money in expounding the Scriptures by own methods, than 'in selling shirts, and with un- usual business enterprise he laundh- ed out to establish 'a mew sect. He got hold of a little paper called Zion's 'Watch Tower, in which his theories were set forth, and preach- ed that the end of the world was at hand. { : | '*He said that end jin October, [1914, but that approached with no particular sign of the millenium, Russell gan to 'hedge, and explained that the date 'was approxima(e, and also in- timated that his good offices had been employed to postpone an event for which many were so obviousiy unprepared.
