The Razor Enthusiast.

/ Topeka Capital: Those Of us who
follow the writing game admire par
ticularly the quality of originality.
Which will serve to lead the reader
up to the case OF Judge Robert NJ.
Yates, who claims he can shave him
self in three minutes. The writer,
who has travelled about good bit in
the smoking compartments of Pullman
cars, has witnessed the orgies Of
many razor enthusiasts, but he never
before met one who claimed he could
shave himself in less than five min
utes. There is another thing about
the orgies of the razor enthusiasts we
have never been able to understand.
Every publicity agent of the individual
and personal razor pretends to derive
pleasure and entertainment from the
practice of his art If it is such an
enjoyable thing for a man to shave
himself, why does he wish to limit his
enjoyment to three or five minutes a
day? If we loved the solace of the
personally conducted razor to the ex-
tent that the razor rooters pretend,
we'd spend hours day guiding one.

WHAT THE WAR
MOVES MEAN
(Continued from page ID

fdent the attempt will be made and
this fact probably accounts for the
fdleness of the Anglo-French armies
during the Polish operations. All the
ammunition apparently must be saw
ed in the west for defensive use, and
is too precious to be fired away in
futile offensive. The Russians, how
ever. do not seem to be content with
this explanation There have been
many indications during the week
that the cars government Is holding
France and England, and particularly
England responsible for Warsaws
plight.
The SIavs are convinced they saved
Paris by hurrying their offensive N
east Prussia last August, even at the
cost of disaster to themselves. The
reluctance of France and England to
nay back in kind, has been pointediy
called to the attention of the Paris
and London governments, according to
fntimations from Petrograd. 1t is
probable Russia has requested assur-
ances from the western allies that an
offensive in France and Belgium Will
not long be delayed and in particular
has asked for reasons why the cam
pafgn against Constantinople is not
being pushed. The British censor
has allowed London newspapers TO
print Russian dispatches which MAKE
known the Slav criticisms OF Eng
lands hating tactics. This IS DOUBT
less deliberate intent on the part OF
the British government which is stiiI
seeking means of bringing home to
Engiishmen a more SOLDERING sense or
