A JUSTIFIED GROWL.

The editors of the country
are fast coming to the opinion
that this is indeed a democratic
administration, at least it GER
tainly does not believe in recip-
rocity-not as far as the news
papers are concerned. Not a
week goes by but the newspaper
boys are asked to print matter
sent out by the government, but
nary a word is ever heard about
any pay for the publishing of
any Of those articles. The pa
pers have given freely Of their
space concerning tie conscrip-
ton law, and every other mat
ter Of government news IS as
literally dealt with. Do the pa
|pers get any thanks for SO do
ing? Oh yes, they do. They get
an added postage rate on the
papers mailed to subscribers,
and they will also get tax on
the revenue derived from adver-
tising, although that rate has
not been decided upon as yet.
That is the way the government
believes in reciprocity as far as
the newspapers are concerned.
Isn't it fine ?-Windom Citizen.

LIBERTY IN RUSSIA.

Latest reports indicate that
conditions in Russia are chaotic
and that the peasants and work
men are SO unreasonable in their
demands that it is more than
likely that the dearly bought
liberty of the Russian people
will be cast aside, like worn
out child's toy, through the in
ability of the people themselves
to understand that liberty does
not mean license, and that prop
erty must have its rights re-
spected as we'll as individuals.
Socialists are in control in the
Russian nation, and the failure
of popular government there at
this time will be a staggering
blow to the party leaders thru
out the world, as this is the first
instance known where the party
has gained control in a nation
of the first class.
Faced at home by disorders,
and with an aggressive Germany
as it's neighbor on the west,
there is little hope for the coun-
try unless it can soon secure
some measure of centralized gov
ernment.
Workmen who were notori
ously underpaid, who worked
long hours, under the worst of
conditions, are now demanding
conditions which are not even
thought of in the United States.
Six hours labor a day is fixed
as a maximum Of labor by the
unions, and a minimum wage of
$77.25 monthly for women is
demanded. Eighteen of the larg
lest metal works in southern
Russia have offered to give their
workmen a bonus Of $75, 100000
to employees, who insist upon
$240,O00,00O. Since the revolu-
tion wages have increased thru
out the nation from 160 to 200
per cent and strikes are more
frequent than ever. Troops are
leaving the front for their homes
without leaves of absence and
refuse to recognize the author
ity of their officers. The gov
ernment is unable to control and
the future looks dark indeed.
Those in governmental author
ity carry no mandate from the
people and are afraid to con-
vene constitutional convention,
fearing the result.
Real friends of the country
are hoping for strong man to
develop who will take over con-
trol.-Wadena Journal.

Paris, July 22.-The war office tonight issued the following report of the fight ing in France:
 'The battle has continued with ex- treme violence in the region of Hurte- bise and Craonne under bombardment of unheard of intensity. Our observers reported great numbers of German bat teries in action.

 Points Without Gains-The
 British Are Again Active

Copenhagen, July 22.-Dispatches re- ceived here from Germany seek to convey the impression that the Rus sian defeat at zIochoff, Galacia, Is developing to even wider proportions. Special dispatches to newspapers from German Headquarters say the Russian front north of the Dniester is totterinS and that 1t is officially reported that the Russian seventh army south of the ZIochoff gap, affected by pres- sure on its flank, also is beginning to retire. The Russians have destroyed the Sereth bridges.
 Some elements of the Russian rear guard are described as fighting valiant ly to delay the pursuit, but it is stated that the German yanguards are pressing on impetuously, recklessly hurling them selves on one defensive point after an other. The Germans are using an air. blaine squadron to throw wagon trains into confusion.
 Little is being heard, even in the Aus trian reports, of the Austro-Hungarian infantry. The blow seems to have been executed by selected Germany infantry, but with the assistance of all available Austro-German artillery.

 One German machine was cut off and surrounded by three British air planes which drove it in the opposite direction until all four were lost in the haze. The pursuit of the others continued. They attained an altitude of 15,000 to 1S.900 feet and were soon lost to sight.
 The following official account ot the raid was issued: "A squadron of enemy airplanes- from Is to 21-approached Felixstowe e and Harwich at o'clock this morn ing. Some bombs were dropped, put the heavy fire from the anti-aircraft defense caused the enemys formation to split up, part returning oyerse as and part proceeding south, down the Essex coast. The latter party was heavily engaged by gunfire all down the Essex coast and finally proceeded homeward without dropping moro bombs. The raiders were pursued out to sea and heavily engaged by our airplanes. but the visibility was low and the difficulties of observation were very great.
 The casualties at Felixstowe and Harwich so far are eight killed and 25 injured"

Washington, July 22.-An appeal for conservation of the country's oil supply by curtailment of pleasure riding in mo- tors and by eliminating other sources of waste while production is increased, was issued tonight by Chairman A. c. Bed ford of the defense councils petroleum committee. MT. Bedford is president of the Standard oil company of New Jer- sey.
 This country said the statement, lis producing crude oil at the rate of about 300, 100000 barrels year. but it is using it at the rate of 335, 100000 barrels a year. The country is absorbing the entire cur rent production and drawing very rapid ly upon it's reserve supplies.
 "The rapid development of the auto- mobile is largely responsible for pres ent conditions. Today there are more than 100000 cars. demanding over 40. 100000 barrels of gasoline year. Oth- CT uses of gasoline and oil are expand ing upon an enormous scale.

Washington, July 22.-This week may see the long contested administr;A- tion food control bill finally perfected in Congress and sent to President Will son for his signature.
 Senate and House conferees on the measure which passed the Senate yes terday after five weeks consideration expect to go to work Tuesday. Their principal difficulties will be over the prohibition question and the Senate amendment for a board of food ad- ministration of three members instead of an individual administrator. Lead : CTS tonight predicted prompt action, however, which probably will be fol- lowed by disposal of the first fooG bill, also in conference several weeks, awaiting disposal of the control meas ure.
 The s64o, 100000 aviation bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, is to go tc the President tomorrow. Its perfection will break all speed records for o.s appropriations.
