done on the orien tal front which hag not disappeared as might be imagined The oriental froht has as real an existence as a war entity as the day when Germany laid hands on beaten humiliated Russia Occupation and exploitation of Russia by the Germans are factors as dan gerous to the allies as are German re inforcements in the west by divisions of troops that have come from the east To day the Germans are in mastery of Russia They hold the routes to Persia and the ar East If Germany shall be beaten and driven from the while still holding Russia and commanding approaches to the Orient she will have won the war There would follow years of economic strug gle to prevent her from renewing her enterprises for domination and con quest If there must be military In tervention to preserve
