Isaac Hellwanger had the coroner and the doctor to help him fix up his will this week. It appears from the instrument that if his wife marries after he dies she does not get any of his property, but that if she marries before he dies she gets all she asks.

WITH THE
RIFLE CLUBS

Rifle shooting as an interclub affair
in Washington has almost ceased, due
to the eagerness of members of the
Home Defense League Rifles to better
their qua!iaca ton marks. The lack of
rife shooting is not to be deplored,
however. as many men who never
handled q rife before are now learn
ing how to shoot and shoot accurately.
Many hundreds of Washingtonans
who heretofore handled a rifle only at
long intervals are taking part in the
ton that will protect the city as an

of them are becoming first rate snots.

Ridiculous Stand
Is Further Revealed.

SIdHu IS HiaihIy evidenced IN the pro-
posal regarding the restoration of Bel
sium. The Russian radical would re-
turn Belgium to the Belgian, but would
rehabilitate this stricken nation with
funds from all belligerent nations.
Why would the allies pay for destruc-
ton caused by the very wantonness
.reachery and savageness of Hun hosts?
ms question answers itself.
Germany must pay and pay largely
for the damage she has done. On this
score all powers arrayed against the
kaiser are agreed. In this proposal the
Petrograd council plays into the hands
of the German and fosters German
hopes
Germany also must pay for the res
toration of Serbia and Montenegro.
The allies would not aid one whit. As
to an autonomous Bosnia and Herzogo-
Vina there might be agreement, but
even in this the aspirations of Balkan
nations must be taken into considera-
ton.
Rumania also must be restored to her
rormeE boundaries. An autonomous
Dobrudja is a suggestion which would
only further clog the wheels of peace
one of the great inducements for
Italy in entering the war was the re-
covery of her lost provinces. The al
lies are committed to her ambitions
in this direction and the entente pow
ers hardly will listen to any Russian
radical suggestion that these provinces
be given autonomy. to be followed by
a piebiscite. There can be no condi-
tions in this regard. When the allies
win the war Italy is to be rewarded

stated. the radicals will call upon the
peoples OF the nation to rise in counter
revolution to overthrow the provisional
government. which ii charges as working
in the interests of Germany. The gov
ernment is preparing to deal sternly with
any such movement
The Russian military situation contin-
ues TO offer a field for much speculation.
The Germans. after having seized all the
Islands at the head of the Gulf of Riga
have desisted i'll aggressive military and
naval tactics, but, on the other hand. they
have begun wide retreat to the north
and northwest of Riga. Already the Ger
man troops, which, after the capture of
Riga, swept forward, have withdrawn fif-
teen miles toward the River Dvina.
This move has caused some surprise in
asmuch as the Russians have shown no
really serious intentions of beginning an
offensive in this particular section.
The retirement OF the German forces
does not materially alter the German sit
uat ation one way or another. The Germans
still hold Riga and possibly viii continue
to do SO for some time. owing to the
successes which they have scored in the
gulf and the inactivity of Russian armies,
which Premier kerensky himself has de-
scribed as demoraliZed
But the retirement does offer danger to
the Russians.
Tndouhtedly the Germans hope TO lure
the Russians into following them to the
southwark. Should the main Slav forces
keep in contact with the Germans they
are making easier the German task of
conquering the Esthonian coast after eff
fecting landings at Hapsal and conse-
quently encoura ging an attack from the
rear.
Should the Russians move their lines
further toward Riga on the coast il would
be easier for the Germans to press to-
ward Petrograd. owing to the lack of eff
fective Russian resistance.
The fleets of Germany and Russia have
been comparatively idle for the past
week. Helsingfors reports quiet there and
little alarm The main Russian fleet in
the Gulf of Finland is on the alert Real

ports from Petrograd indicate that Kron-
stadt, another naval base in the Gulf of
Finland, is being evacuated. The Russian
government is to be moved to Moscow

to entente as we'll as German armies.
and now that the allies are superior in
the air on the western front it is a
certainty that the French, British and
American armies will be able to ac-
complish much more than ever before.
But entente and Germanic nations are
not looking just now to the airplane
from a strictly military sense. Ger
many ushered in an era of murder and
arson when she sent out her aerial
fighters to bomb helpless and defense
less British towns and peoples. They
have persisted in this. The British
have been loath to retaliate. Now the
government is committed to this policy.
and already the British have conducted
two raids over large German cities.
Military works have been bombed,
while submarine stations and German
airdromes have been constant targets.

AS to Alsace Lorraine. France de-

is one question upon which there Is alb

Germany has proposed plebiscite
