SCISSORS who must fight for what they
possess, have left the production of
children in large numbers to those
who are preparing to contest their
position.
AS the numbers of the empty in

peace-time struggle must move stead
lily, always in the direction of the dis

Real War-Deplcted Ranks
There is no country that should not
understand today that the little ones
are its greatest asset. The world war
has robbed the forces of civilization OF
millions of men of the people these
ranks must be refllled in order that
the people may declare that wa shall
no longer be waged for kings. Jiplo-
mats or military chiefs. The working
classes test life at first hand. they are
the actual pioneers of progress. they
keep the vast machinery of life in
working order. Their strength is not
in their resources, but In their num-
bcrs and, let us remember too, that

as many children as she can into the

to use every ounce of power the state

* * % Romance Not Dead
I'm Free Russia

lE REE Russia is fruitful in comic 1 opera situations. A dispatch from Petrograd announces that peace has been restored between band of >marauders in the Caucasus, who for ten years have terrorized residents in the valleys, and self-defense Societies which were organized after the revo- lution for their extermination.
 The bandits were led by a pie turesque character named Achmet Juti. A raid of the long suffering in- habitants was being planned against the robbers. Heavily armed envoys appeared and announced that while Achmet and his followers were per- fectly willing to continue the feud, they were, on the other hand, not op- posed to a truce. The citizens were stubborn and held to the opinion that the bandits ought to be punished for their crimes. Then appeared upon the scene other outlaws escorting the beautiful young wife of Achmet, who was kidnapped in 1913 and became de- voted to her bandit lord.
 The fair matron is reported to have fallen on her knees and so touched the hearts of the aggrieved citizens by her tears that peace was immedi- ately concluded. A resolution was then passed, blaming the wicked con- duct of the bandits on the late autoc- racy, which was certainly happy thought in the premises. A petition has been dispatched to the minister of justice asking that prosecution against Achmet and his band be dropped.
 If the cables were not so congested with war news-or what purports to be war news-there is no doubt that many a pleasing tale, with a humor- ous twist and a dash of romance, would come out of Russia while the people of that polyglot land are try ing to adjust themselves to new con ditions.

WHAT MACMILLAN FOUND

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. | N MESSAGE from the Farce Islands | A\ a few days ago told of the safe
 arrival of Donald MacMillan and
 members of his party who had not aI-
 ready returned to civilization at Etah,
 on the northwest coast of Greenland. This
 is the Eskimo village used by Peary as
 the base of his explorations. Now comes a message from MacMillan himself,
 brought to Copenhagen by Doctor liar
 rison Hunt of Bangor, Me-. who left Mac
 Milan about the middle of February last. l It appears that MacMillan left Etah l March 22 1916, to reach King Christian Land, otherwise known as Finlay Island, to which Sverdrup in his 1s9S-1902 expedl- l ton in the Tram had given the former name. To get an idea of where King Christian Land Is, the reader may run a line directly north from Denver for twice the distance from San Francisco to Phil
 adelphia and he will just about strike MacMillan's objective. Doctor Cook lied his way past the eastern shore of 1t Cat some distance) on his downward glissade from the pole. About 50 years ago an
 expedition sent out to find Sir John Franklin saw it, but MacNIillan says that as far as he knows no white man ever landed there.
 To get there MaeNIiilan crossed Smith Sound and then Ellesmere Land as it's narrowest (about the center). Travelling by sledge, he reached a height of 4000 feet finding game abundant and dis

covering much coal all through this re- g1on." Then he came down into Bay Fiord, on the western side, rounded the southern end of Axel Heiberg Land and passed between North Cornwall Island and Amund Ringnes Land % days after leaving Etah.
 He mapped the northern eastern and southeastern shores. He discovered five island off the coast and another island off Amund Ringnes Land. AS he built cairns and left records, the next conner will have no difficulty in verifying his claims. The shores of North Cornwall Island were also mapped. Nothing was seen of "Crocker Land" the existence of which it was part of MacMillan's pur- pose to prove or disprove. Peary thought there might be land in that direction from his own distant observation, but Peary made no positive assertion, and to say that he did is gross injustice
 Relief expeditions sent out in 1915 and 1916 failed to reach MacMillan. He says that he has enough to fare comfortably until August, 1917. Then, If a third expedition fails to get him he will re- vert to the domestic economy of the Es- kimo-"an igloo for shelter, skins for clothing and meat for food" An effort will be made by the packers of the ex- petition Ohe American Museum of Natu- ral History the American Geographical Society and the University of Illinois, to send Capt.
