 Justice demands that we should not be punished for our past sacrifices. Policy demands that we should be en- sured against starvation in future. Our war industries are still mobilized they are highly efficient; and if Russia continues the war, we can give her greater help than she can expect from her own inefficient and anarchical in dustries. But this will be possible only if we have the necessary food The Allies cannot expect hungry arti- sans, whose wives and children are perishing, to keep to munitions work.
 Our population is not pro- German. It was, admit, anti-R Russian, or rather anti-autocracy. It has always been devoted to America, England and France from which countries in our darkest hour we received sympathy and moral support I have myself always championed the Allies cause at home; and I do not desire to see my hungry fellow countrymen throwing them selves in despair into Germany's hands In order to gain Scandinavian support, Germany a month ago ostentatiously sold breadstuffs to Sweden Probably she would do the same to Finland, but that is not the kind of help we want

WORK
 CONTRACT CASE.

contract forfeited in l5 days is re- sulting in an interesting suit now being heard in Judge Lyman's division of the superior court. James H. Maxey is suing Hugh Mckay for s24,000 while Mckay has made a counter claim for s5,000
 According to the first days testi- mony, Maxey had a contract to build the Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend railroad, Mckay taking a subcontract to do the track laying and surfacing at s55O mile. In the contract between Maxey and the railroad company he was to receive 1860 so that by the sub contract he would make a clear profit of s310. Mckay was compelled to fur nish a $20,000 bond and the sureties were Kurtz Fickas, L. S. Barnard. Per- cy J. Howard, c. A. White and A. J. Straw.
 Mckay started to carry out his part Of the contract on October 15 It is al legged that three days later fault was found with his work and that on No vember l the contract was forfeited and Maxey took possession of the out fit, including all tools. Making the claim that he had to pay Mckay at the rate agreed upon, s20,71S, and that it actually cost him s45329 to complete the work, Maxey is asking for the diff ference. Mckay on the other hand al leges that if he had not been made to wrongfully forfeit the contract. his profit would have been s5,000.
 Maxey is represented by Alexander and Christy and McKay's counsel is F. c. Struckmeyer.

 The best of many exciting episo6es related in connection with the Cam brai fighting was that involving 50 American and Canadian engineers. to- gether with some British fighting troops These men were cut off in the general turning movement near Gou zeaucourt and were taken prisoner A German escort of 20 soldiers or more started with them along the road lead ing from GouZeaucourt to Cambrai AS they were proceeding disconsoldtely to- ward the zone of the German prison cages they came upon small body of British troops who had also been cut off from their comrades and were wan dering about.
 The British Tommies immediately charged towards them. The Germans trled to drive their captives off towards La Nacquerie, but the prisoners hurled themselves upon their guards and struggled 'barehanded until the Tom mics arrived and disposed of the Ger mans. The engineers and their com- rades took the German rifles. and worked their way back with their res cuers until they were able to reach a poipt where they could join the British line.
 A party of Americans and Canadians also had an exciting time in a motor lorry, which coming unexpectedly upon SIX Germans holding the cross roads with machine guns, charged at full speed. tank-like, bowling over the sur prised enemy and escaping down the
