RUSSIA.

The optimist says that Russia is going
to fight to the finish. The pessimist saws
that Russia is seeking a separate peace.
Russia herself says 1--WE want money!
and the United States sends it. If Russia
fights this will be good investment. If
she proves to be cowardly beggar it is
wasted philanthropy. We suspect that
while we are hiring her to fight Germany
is bribing her to run, and that she will
continue to fight not aggressively but
enough to bring in the rubles and ko-
pecks.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The people of the United States have
just subscribed loan of $4,000, 900, 900.
The German people have also recently sub
scribed a loan, announced by them to Oe
equal to So, 600, 600, 900 in our currency, but
it is in fact much less than half that sum.
The difference in the respective loans,
while large, is not in itself of more than
passing interest The important difference
does not appear in the figures but in the
values. Every dollar of our Liberty Loan
is worth one hundred cents, not only in
this country but in the markets of the
world. The pay envelopes of our soldiers
and our workmen contain money which
is bankable or disable at its full face
value. If any holder wishes to obtain
coin for paper money it can be had at
even exchange Our Liberty Loan is real
money in capital letters. When Germany
declared war she was prepared, with
huge trained army, vast supplies of ord
nance and munitions and backed by
warlike population. But this was not all,
her treasury was piled with stores of gold.
When she failed to march triumphantly
into Paris and the war began to look like
serious matter she bought supplies of
all kinds wherever they could be obtain
ed and these purchases had to be paid for
in gold. AS her store of gold dwindled
and England Joined battle Germany
bought in the United States and else
where for future delivery and perhaps to
keep the goods from her foes till the u
boats could command the seas. This
took more gold and necessitated the sale
OF stocks and bonds issued in other coun-
tries which were as good as gold. Then
the time came when her people were Or
dered to give up their little personal
boards of gold and to bring their jewelry
to the melting pot. Thus gradually gold
money ceased to be the currency of the
country and paper money took its place.
Gold was used only for foreign purchases.
The German loan is a paper loan and is
rated in the exchange as worth 81 cents
on a dollar. This shrinks the value of
the German loan two-thirds. With this
debased currency Germany is paying the
interest on six previous loans, is paying
her soldiers and her workers, and is carry
ing on the entire internal business of the
empire. When the next loan is gathered
IN it will consist of paper money still
further debased. Germany will emerge
from the war bankrupt. Her industries
will be PROSTATE, her foreign trade lost
and half her able bodied men either dead,
crippled or broken by disease German
promises under any circumstances are
not to be relied on. This paper money
has nothing behind it but the fiat of
dishonest Kaiser, and even in the event
OF victory he would declare it to be mere
scraps of paper as he has done with SOL
emn treaties. The Liberty Loan is back
ed by the gold of a free and prosperous
pc ople. The German loan is based on
promises and paper money, the currency
OF an impoverished people. The basic
difference of these loans is indeed great,
and the financial conditions seem to us
to be Germany's greatest weakness.

Suggests a Hilarious Finish.

Most hilarious and mirthful would
be the ending Of the war under the
scheme of Henniker IN. H. humani-
tartan. He would have all the Ger
mans, the kaiser included, laugh them
selves to death, says the Boston Jour-
nal.
Briefly, the scheme is to spill a new
kind of laughing gas, which the writer
says he has invented, all over the Ger
man forces. The gas, according to the
plan. can be carried over the German
trenches in airplanes and dropped.

RECIPES FOR Killing FLIES

the destruction of house flies: For
maldehyde and sodium salicylate are
the two best fly poisons, Beth are
SUPERIOR to arsenic. They have their
advantages for household use. They
are not poison to children; they are
convenient to handle, their dilutions
are simple and they attract flies
