It is even declared that the price of white pine is crowd : ing that of mahogany and the better grades of spruce and maple are likely to advance so in price that they will become luxuries of construction.
 . This is not a condition which has attracted attention all of a sudden. It has been gradually approaching. It is a situation which has caused new en- phasis to be given to the need of overcoming the waste and to the frn- portance of reforestation in order to make the most of what we have and to provide for the future. There are of course substitutes for lumber in construction work. but iil many in stances they are utilized where lum- Der would not be and even rnen they have not been put to such extensive use that they have relieved the de- mand for lumber very greatly. It is a case, as in many other directions, where unless proper regard Is paid to providing for the years to come, and in keeping the supply up to the de- mand, the shortage is bound to in crease and prices to advance. q

 Then drop him a note saying we'd like to have him dine with us,' urged Hugh. who evidently felt that if by any chance Tom and Ethel. should take fancy to each other it would be a most desirable arrangement.
 My note was answered immediate ly.

STORIES OF THE WAR
On the Russian Front.

It is only at the active front, well removed from the inaction and pes simism which poison the outlook from the large cities in Russia, that one is able to form a far estimate of what Russia has accomplished during the past year in transforming a poorly equipped inadequate munitioned and consequently dispirited army into a w6xl ordered machine from which ev- cry trace of distorder and inefftcien- cy has disappeared. It is at first al- most impossible to realize that the present organization, which compares favorably with that of any army in the field, has been built out of the wreck of last summers disaster and that the same commanders who were then occupied with the difficult task of leading their crippled forces into a position of safety, are now confidently and eagerly speaking of an advance into the territory lost to them in last summers campaign. A general who took part in the retreat from Warsaw and who commanded one of the diVi- sions which heroically strove to delay the German advance, was asked by an Associated Press correspondent to compare the conditions which prevail ed in the army year ago with those of today.
 There is no comparison" answered the general. Last year we had no ammunition. and we were in no con- dition to withstand the powerful and well organized offensive of the enemy. Only a small part of my division sur vived the continuous shel fire of the enemy. But today we are their equals. It is the difference between chaos and order"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Leaving Kittens to starve.

MT. Editor: The authorities have done much to keep the city in a healthy condition, but has an existing evil come to their attention that is common in many parts of the city. that of drop ping tiny kittens anywhere? A man that beats a horse in the open we can see and know who the brute is. That is as bad as it can be- but not any more heartless or brutal than people who keep a family of kittens till they must be fed and then put them out sQrne night to stray helplessly away and slowly starve. I have given my attention to many in said condition the past summer and relieved some that could not help all that called for help.
 Ill many cities there is provisions for such neglected little creatures. also for the tenderhearted CD people who are shocked at the suggestion of putting them away in the beginning, which would be merciful to them. It is not at all human to drop the loving lit tie trusting creatures that finally find sleep after lingering existence of torture from vermin and starvation?
 Yours respectfully

Although this regiment had just been relieved from work in the trenches the day be- fore, the men were all ln line physical condition, and were we'll clothed and well fed, and showed no trace of hay ing experienced any greater hardship than that of living in the open air and eating three wholesome meals a day. At a short distance from headquar- ters one could see the white tents of the soldiers gleaming through the open spaces cleared in the pine forest which covered a knoll which had been chosen as the best drained ana most healthful spot for the sleeping quarters of the army. Faint streal[s of smoke curled upward from the out door kitchens where dinner was be- ing prepared. On returning from the trenches, each soldier had been given Q bath and fresh linen. while the clothes he had been wearing were put through a disinfecting machine and laundered. The Russian soldier lives better, eats more, and enjoys much more cortented frame of mind than before the war.
 The army owes the great part of the comforts which have been provided for it, to the ZeTnsky Soyuz, or union Of town councils, which has been the chief manufacturer and distributing g agent of all military supplies. Through the gigantic strides in organization and output which this union has made since the beginning of the war, it has been able not only to assist materially in the manufacture and purchase of guns and munitions, but to see that every part of the army is plentifully supplied with hospitals and medical apparatus, bath houses, clean linen ana all of the comforts of life which now surround the army. After vis iting numerous points along the west ern front, the correspondent found that the model conditions which at first might have seemed to belong only to a few exceptional localities which had been chosen for purposes of exhibition, applied universally to the whole area of the front.
 It is to these tangible improvements in conditions that the less tangible but equally important moral of the Russian troops is due The Russian soldier, illiterate and ignorant as he generally is, is not unresponsive to the currents of confidence or depression which run through the organism of an army.

EFFECT ON PRISON REFORM.

Just what effect the sudden resig- nation of Thomas Mott Osborne from the wardenship of Sing Sing prison is going to have upon the reform which he has so persistently advocated remains to be seen. There is no doubt that he will continue to be just as enthusiastic in his advocacy of it now as he has ever been. It is even pos sible that the experience which he has had will make him more so but there is serious question whether the services which he can render from the outside will be as effective as those which he could perform while in a po- sition to actually put them into opera ton.
 He has planted the seed and he has been instrumental in giving 1t early nourishment. He has aroused a wide spread interest in the cause and it is therefore most unfortunate that he has found it necessary to separate him. self from the office which gave him such an opportunity to demonstrate that it is the very thing necessary to put an end to the old system of re- taliation and brutality to which he refers. The introduction of a reform never brings about all the sympathy that it's chief advocate might expect. There is always opposition 10 be en- countered and it must be expected. Through martyrdom it is possible tC win new attention to a cause, but il rests with the future to show whether MT. Osborne has secured this by the course which he has taken or whether he would have gained it in greater measure by making the pess of the handicaps which he was experiencing.

GET HE lRIa.Hr MEN.

This is the week when the republi- cans of the many towns in the state are called upon to assemble in caucus and select candidates for representa- tives in the next general assembly. It is an important duty which confronts chem and one which ought not to be sighted. For that reason there should be a large attendance of the party members at each and every caucus since the kind of legislature and the chara cter of the legislation we get de- pend upon the selection of the best men to handle such responsibilities as are conferred upon those who are sent to Hartford to make our laws.
 It is because of the lack of interest or the failure on the part Of eiector- ate to perform it's initial duty of pick ing out men who can be relied upon to render faithful service in looking after the interests of their respective towns and at the same time give the proper consideration to the welfare of the state that so much complaint fol = lows regarding inefficient service. The time of course to guard against such mistakes is while they are in danger of being made.
 Let every town nominate it's best men, those who are qualified for the work that devolves upon a represen- tative, those who will give their time and attention to the business,sat hand and those who will be found at their post doing their whole duty to their constituents without fear or favor and there need be no fear But what the oft heard criticism about the kind of representation town gets will dwin- dle and disappear. The success of lawmalzing as well as government de- bends upon getting the right men.

Sf Must WiIsonize."

From London comes Q new phrase Perhaps it may better be dsignated a new bit of slang. 'I must Wilson, ize," is it's form. Its interpretation is: I must think it over.'' It expresses first of all hesitancy, indecision, a de- sire to postpone, to delay, to tempor- ize. The man to whom a proposition is presented and who says T must Wilsonize on that conveys an Intlma- tIon that he is unready, taken usy sur prize, distrustful of immediate deci- sion, suspicious of possible dangers. anxious to peek around all the cor ners before giving even a vague reply, and everse to committing himself for fear of consequences, It is a phrase popular with the evasive, the unde- c5ded, the vacillating individual
 The root of this phrase is in full view. The course of the President of the United States has left an impress sion in the public mind abroad-es- pec1ally in London, be it noted-of unreadiness and lack Of decision which is given concrete, crystallized form in this phrase: q must Wilson, ize." Some will think it a bit unkind of fortune to create sucl; a label in Britain fGr Wilson the Unready, but 1t must be stamped on American con sciousness that in this phrase is a worlds conteu1ptuous judgment of an unfortunate public man, and the ex- planation of a world attitude toward the great nation whose chief execu- dve's evasions have made such a phrase possible and just.-.Detroit Free Press.

WHAT HUGHES WILL DO.

At g. time when this country is deeply interested in the development of foreign markets, in reaching out in to foreign fields and lending encour- agement to enterprises which will ben eft this nation through increased bus mess transactions, 1t is rather discon- certing to note that Charles W. Eliot looks upon those who have shown such enterprise as wandering citizens miners and commercial adventures who must look out. for themselves and who are not. entitled to the encour- 1 agement and protection of their own nation. In setting forth the record of the administration MT. Eliot finds that it's policy is NO intervention by force of arms to protect on foreign soil American commercial and manu- featuring adventurers, who, of their own free will have invested their money or risked their lives under alien jurisdiction,' and this policy he sup ports.
 Against this kind of a policy Charles F. Hughes has declared his opposition. He considers '"The ade- quate protection of American citizens and their interests abroad according to their just rights under international law is the corner stone of a policy to promote American enterprise through out the world."3 And he maintains that a self respecting policy of that kind worthy of the American name, maintaining American honor, assuring the known rights of American citizens is absolutely necessary. and it does not mean war.
 As to what he will do in the fur therance of such a. policy he says we will not meddIe with things which do not concern us. we. will not merely talk about rights of small states but we will observe them, and at all events the lives and property of American citizens will be protected. That is a statement which has the proper ring of Americanism.

ONE REQUIREMENT THAT MAY
 BOTHER,
Judge of Probate, j. AYLING.

If this country was going to par ticipate in a conference for a revision of the rules of naval warfare it might insis1 upon different regulations for the submarine than at the present time govern the war vessels of bel ligerent nations. Such, however, is not being held and fort9 that reason there was nothing else to do than what has been done in the reply of this government to the allied nations in maintaining that submarines cannot be barred from the same privileges that are accorded to other vessels. The fact that a vessel is one which can go under water as well as on the sur face, and is not armed and not capa- ble Of being armed, does not require that a neutral nation should forbid it to enter it's ports just because there happens to be a certain similarity with war vessels of that type, any more than it would call for the stop ping of British merchantmen from coming to and leaving American ports because they resemble certain of the auxiliary cruisers of that 11arIon And submarine merchantmen of the allied nations would have the same privi- leges as those of Germany in this re- spect.
 But when this country ''holds it to be the duty of the beuigerent powers to distinguish between submarines of neutral and belligerent nationality" that demand in itself calls for the dis play of some responsibility In aiding such a determination by the subrna- rines themselves. and that promises to be one of the difficult problems in connection with the regulation Of sub marine activity under existing laws since the submarine has a means of lodging inspection which is not open to other war or merchant vessels

 Many letters from Cleveland Demo- crats who voted for President Wilson four years ago, but now repudiate him on his record, are being received by the Hughes National College League The following from W. s. Gould, 1O6 East 18th Street, New York, is typical of their attitude.
