Word to the Wise.

When we read about the drastic proceedings of
the governments of Great Britain, Canada, Australia
France and Italy, we must admit that thus far, we
have only been playing at economy and conservation.
We have saved some fuel and eaten little less of
sugar and bacon and more of cornmeal But most
of are still practically on basis Of pleasure and
business as usual
1t is to be long Russia testifes to this. The
salemae nearly all the battle fronts testify to it
Germany has finally got to be licked in Germany.
Thus far, government has, largely, merely asked.
It will have to compel and command.
If the above assertions true, the wise manu-
facturer who is geared up to produce only non
essentials will consider converting his plant to more
essential use and the wise ,sorekeeper will be think
ing strongly of stocks more nearly confined to the
essentials.
There may long be business as usual, but when our
people confront the necessity facing foreign peo
pies, it will be different business

Bakers Warning.

The Eastern theater" Of war ceases to hold even
a sideshow of the gigantic European drama. The
lights are dmmed and the players ready to depart
into the outer darkness The weary Russ has quit his
role and stabbed the play and the performance in the
back Like Achilles, he sulks in his tent, misguided
by ignorant leaders, nflamed by hallucinations.
What is to be the epilogue of this most astounding
treaChery of modern times? The Russo-German armis-
tice is an accomplished thing. Russian armies are
breaking up like dssoving mists in summer sun, and
German armies being rushed to France and Italy
to augment the offensves which Hindenburgs uti
mate gamble.
Only skeletons of the German divisions being
left on the Eastern front, says Secretary of War
Baker, and he Americans that the near future
may bring tidings of peril and dismay to those who
thought the Prussian fang soon to be extracted
The whole aspect of the has been changed by the
Russian debacle he intmates 1t is not that the Russ
has been dangerous any time since the revouonares
spread their torch the nation. is not that he has
threatened an offensive of any real value to the allies
But while Russia remained in the war, Germany did
not dare to take her armies out of the East. She
stripped them of their valuable divisions but mil
lions of troops had to remain thnly spread out they
were from Riga to the Black Sea.
Now she is daring remove these troops, and send
them to the South and West. She is gambling on a
Russia which will remain permanently unstable,
less spineless. She is counting her Liliputans
keeping the huge, but sluggish Gulliver in leading
strings She is making the thrust which has been her
objective since the time the Carbon blew up and
pygmies blew in. She feared Kerensky, but trafficked
his benevoence and easygongness-the same traits
that unhorsed Nadero in Mexico. She raficked with
brilliant Now she thinks she has systemazed
the chaos which is necessary to keep Russia her
back She is wrong the Russian light is under
bushel, but it has not flicSered out.
Despite the treachery which has darkened allied

of 1917 we are bold to make generahzation-there

Camp Meade's Magazine Shower.

Word comes from Camp Meade that the men en-
camped there being swamped with reading matter
principally magazines. According reports there is
about ten tons of magazines piled up in the postoce
and in the various barracks.
This condition has been brought about by little
cooperation between publishers and the Postoice De

country began printing the following notice the front
