RUSSIA WILL STICK AND FIGHT.

Russia from the days before the revolution has been face to face with a complex situation. It has not only been forced to contend with the forces which are fighting 1t from without but it has had it's hands full with those which are actively at work within This was increased when the change took place in that country which saw the passing of the czar and the set ting up of a free Russia Russia dis posed of a powerful influence which was in league with the kaiser when it shook off the Romancffs but it has since had to deal with the factions among it's own people to say nothing of the cunning German propaganda which has been at work in an endea- vor to make a failure of the new gov ernment.
 It was only the other day that Am bassador Bakhmeteff, recently sent to this country by the new government as it's representative, appealed to the United States senate for patience with his country in the adjusting of the great difficulties which are confronted there Russian uncertainty has been the cause for much anxiety not only in this country but among the nations of the entente, but conditions are bound to improve there if the ambas- SdOOT s SLa1menI IS based upon q thorough knowledge of the conditions and there is every reason to believe that it is.
 As if to confirm it there now comes the report to the effect that the work mems and soldiers council of deputies have adopted a resolution categorical ly rejecting any move for a separate peace between Russia and Germany, the object for which German propa- ganda has been bending all its efforts. It is indicated by that resolution that Russia, as represented by this council, wants peace but it wants an honorable me and it is determined to hrnt far it-

THAT MEsoporAMIA eLuNpER

It has been some time since the British met with their disastrous de- feat in Mesopotamia, when an expedi- ton was sent against Bagdad without provision being made for the neces- sary support, either in men or sup plies, as the result of which they were defeated before that city and forced to retire upon Kut-el-Amara only to be surrounded and a large force com pelled to surrender, although 8 sec ond army has been able after a long delay to accomplish that which the previous one was unable to achieve.
 IL was thoroughly understood at the time that there had been a needless sacrifice of men and material. It was evident that someone had blundered and blundered badly and an investiga- ton has been underway for the deter imitation of those who were to blame. The result of this search for the facts in the case has just been made pub lie and while it shows that the fault lay in the preparations which were made it goes further than that and points out the individual responsibil- ity for that fiasco.
 Such a blurder cannot be overcome at this late date. The harm has been done but it is evident that no such affair can be permitted to happen again. and it was because of that that the facts were obtained and the report made public. This was not the only in stance where mistakes were made but if there is going to be any, profit from such unfortunate conditions the need of knowing where the trouble lay was apparent that this has now been fixed. those who were at fault have paid the penalty for their incompetence and foh 1a 6d has been clearly set forth.
 IL has cost tremendously for Great Britain to~find out where it's incom- petents were. not only in this case but in others, but 1t has shown a dis position to get the proper lessons therefrom and that has been of the greatest value, however galling it was at the time the errors were commit ted.

He wanted her pretty, but why should that interefere with her being brainy, shrewd prompt, speedy and clever. deuce take 1t? He is an injured and bewildered man.
 He doesn't understand why she hasn't time to devote to being speedy, brilliant and the other things and still own wonderfully manicured nai-s, glossy hair and perfectly neat apparel and immaculate collars and curs that |, take ages to do up every night! Why, you simply can't have appealing eyes more than you can have lily Of the valley hands If you are a coal heayer' Yet that's what that foolish man wants!
 He did the same stunt when he picked out his wife He married her because she was so cunning and fra gile and feminine, and then he spent all the rest of his life rowing st her because she somehow doesn't manage to be a keen household business man ager, d trained nurse, an expert seam stress and wonderful cook!
 Say, I sometimes think the way got a chance in the Pye offices must have been because Mir Pye, had brok- en his g.asses that day-because I'm no beauty. I'll never forget the sigh William, Jr., let out when he first saw me-sort of hopeless and resign ed. To he sure. William is one of my best friends these days and he sits down in cd moments and tells me all about how cute his baby is. He's been a changed man since he married that chorus girl. Shes the only feminine rpember of the family with any com mon sense. And he hasn't forgotten how I helped him out at the time of the elopement.

You've a new girl in your office, haven't you?" said the stenographer from across the hall as she and Miss Pearlie Fattershall got out their noon sandwiches.
 We have" admitted that young woman, shaking her head. Say, but I'm sorry for that new grill"
 '$She doesn't exactly look as if she needed sympathy" remarked the oth- CT. shes so pretty that she'll get along all right
 "Huh.' said Miss Fattershali Have you worked downtown three years without learning better than that? Why, that idea was canned in the stone age! Beryl may have large, appealing eyes and willowy neck. but, nevertheless, there are breakers ahead for her.
 "When a man is having a letter written about an important deal some how he is apt to be terribly fussy If and makes the figure five thousand in stead of fifty. You can't imagine how he cuts up over a litt.e thing like that! He goes temporarily blind, deaf and dumb to her winsome girlish charms in such emergency! The longer I work for men. the more deeply irnpi essed am I by the abso- lutely remarkable abilities of the girls who stick it out and keep their jobs!"
 Thanking you for these kind words" commented the other stenog- rapher.
 Well" said Miss Fattershall, "a man is just as weird about his stem ogra pher as he is about his wife! In stead of proceeding in straight. short line to the point upon which his gaze is fixed, he can think up more foolish doublings on his own track than the interested observer can keep track of and then wonder why he's having such a time to get there.

Connecticut is earnestly, enthusias- tically going into all sorts of activi- ties that will help the government in it's emergency. The danger Is that many movements will fall short of giving the help that was intended because not properly directed Heed should be given, therefore, to the re- quest of the Connecticut council of defense that any work of this sort put under way be reported to the council If any person or organization is doing or contemplates doing any special work to help in the war it should get in touch with the council that duplication and crossed wires may be avoided.

Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
 Uqly Spots

Now To the Tire to Get Hld of Ihese
 Ugly Spots
 There's no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the prescription othine - double strength - Is guaranteed to remove these homely spots.
 Simply get an ounce of othine = double strength from any druggist and apply a little of it night and morning and you should soon see that even the worst freckles have begun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to completely clear the skin and gain a beautiful clear complexion.
 Be sure to ask for the double strength othine as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles.

WAR TAX CHANGES INDICATE
WELDING BY SENATE
coNFEREEs!

Washington. d. c.. Sept. 17-Pro.l
gress of the conference on the war tax
bill slowed down today as the moro
important disputes were approached,
House conferees today stood out
strongly for retention of second-class
mail rate increases and the senate
members apparently were disposed to
accept some provision for a postage
increase.
AS compromise, the conferees con-
sidered the so-called Hardwick plan,
endorsed by the postoflce department.
to increase rates on advertising por-
lions only of newspapers and period
icals. Although more rigid secrecy
than ever was imposed on the delib-
erations, it was reliably stated that
the conferees have agreed definitely
to eliminate the house provisions for
general 10 per cent tariff increase
and to strike out the house section
estimated to raise $6,ooo,ooO from in
heritances.
A compromise on the war profits
dispute, the most important in tho
bill, was said to be approaching, with
the senate conferees disposed to yield
on their pre-war profits plan.
