d aising the Old Cry Tor
IN A Miracle Man

On the other hand, many papers look to
forces within Russia to solve the situation.
"If Russia is to be saved" says "The New
York Herald" raising the old cry for a
miracle man, at only can be by man
capable of firing the patriotism latent in
the Russian mass and to lead it to action.
What Russia needs is no glib tongued ke-
lensky dreaming that right can safely
compromise with the forces of evil, but a
two fsted, real Russian, who understands
that the only way to deal with evil is
to crush it,"
In similar fashion "The New York
Times" looks to strong man at the head
Of strong government TO keep Russia as
a great power from being broken up into
many different nations if the German
Plan is carried out by Bolsheviki agents.
Their traitorous work can be arrested
only by the establishment Of strong
central government. For that man is
necessary, man of greater frmness and
stability Of purpose than any the revolu-
ton has yet brought to the fore"
Just the opposite is the suggestion of
THE Philadelphia Public Ledger" which
hopes to see Russia "emerge soon from
Bolshevik autocracy surrounded by chaos
into some sensible coalition government
liberal, democratic or nationally socialistic
and at ali events decently representative
Of the Russian people. From such gov
ernment we might expect reorganization
at home and some resumption by Russia
Of the great role which her interests, her
obligations and her true ideals require her
to play in the war"
But "The Nebraska State Journal
counters with another "strong man" can
didate, this time the Cossack, General
Kaledines. "What of the rumors from
South Russia Of movement TO call back
the Czar?" "The Journal" asks.

THE View That the Allies
/ Must Exert Themselves

Then there is school of thought,
almost wholly represented by "The New
York Evening Post" which looks to action
by the Allies toward reshaping their war
aims as the only way to clear up the Rus
sion tangle. "The Springfield Republi-
can" suggests something of this sort when
it says that $50 far as possible, and using
all means Of communication still open, the
Allies should endeavor to make their po-
sition as clear as possible and to enlist
other elements in Russia against policy
which would be an unmitigated disaster
TO their country
The Post" goes deep into the trouble
ailng Russia, denies as absurd the talk
that Lenine Is German agent, and lays
the blame for the Bolshevki outbreak upon
the Allies refusal TO restate their war
aims. The Paris conference, declares

b ANIEL DE LA VEGA, literary
y editor Of "Zig-Iag," published in
Santiago de Chile, contributed

recently to THE Pan-Amer.can Maga-
zine" the following comment on graphic
journalism in Chile:
"The history of graphic arts and cartoon
ing in Chile is interesting despite its brew
ity. There are no stages in its evolution, as
happens in graphic journalism of other
countries. Here the craftsman and the
'Revistas seriss-the magazines and re-
views that are worth something-csme to
light practically without preceding expert
ment. Up to 1904 the illustrated periodicals
were extremely poor and their main fault
was their obsolete style. There was not .
single real artist in sight.
"'Pluma Lapiz,' Tnstantaneas' and Luz
y Sombra' outside the literary value they
had az representatives Of the best aspect Of
the intellectually Of their respective epoehs,
had little merit in substance, and less so far
their artistic makeup was concerned
They were reviews of literary and informa-
tive character, and little attention was paid
TO illustrations; their appearance was. in
fact, so modest that none Of them suggested
the advancement that Chilian journalism was
to attain later on.

EOW Is Russia to be saved-saved
from herself, saved for the Allies,
- saved from German intrigue?
This question is seriously sgitsting the
press of this country, not to mention the
Russians themselves.
Most of the suggestions offered edi-
torially by American papers are based on
the belief that Lenine is definitely a Ger
man agent; that the Bolshevih are traitors
TO the Allied cause; that even an armstice
will be treachery to the Allies, and in
effect separate peace with Germany,
since it will be made without the consent
Of the other allies and will allow the Ger
mans 10 rest up; that the publication of
the secret treaties by the Russians will not
affect the course of the war; and that
German agents are in Petrograd advising
the Bolsheviki Whatever the real merits
of all these beliefs, the majority of Amer
lean papers at the present writing appear
70 subscribe largely TO them; and on the
basis Of such they are offering many sug-
gestions as to what can or should be done
20 keep Germany from making capital of
the Russian situation to the utter ruin or
the Allies.
While possibly not typical of Washing
Ton opinion, The Washington Post" thinks
the situation can be saved by great AL
lied propaganda in Russia TO counteract
German intrigues by showing the Russians
show TO organize a stable republican gov
eminent" to make the mujiks "under-
stand the true fraternity that binds Russia
70 its allies feel the pulse of true
liberty that animates the United States
apprehend the strength of the
forces that are massing for the annihila-
ZION Of the Hun" These truths, THE
Post" insists, are simple and easily under
standable. And, further
"They can be conveyed by means of motion
pictures. pamphlets. newspapers. lectures, by
soldiers and sailors. by farmera and by
statesmen. Ten thousand citizens Of the AL
lied nations, fred by the ambition to carry
the message TO Russia and backed by ample
funds, could speedily overcome the German
propagandists and restore Russia TO sanity.
Every village in Russia should receive a
message from the Allies. Every railroad
town should be visited by museum train,
carrying visible evidence Of the civilization
and military strength Of the Allies of Rus
sia. Every train should have moving picture
exhibitions Of Allied armies and nayies and
air fleets in action.

that it will follow the tendency ''to regard
the Russians, as a nation, unworthy of
further consideration In spite of
reiterations about the Paris conference as
war-methods conference and not a war
aims conference, we have been unable to
imagine Allied representatives at Paris
failing to recognize the momentous con-
nection between Paris and Petrograd, the
opportunities that lie open for the con-
ference to strike blow both for the cause
of true Russian liberty and for the cause
Of the Allies
1t is still within the power of sound
judgment and understanding among the
Allies, continues "The Post" to redeem in
large measure the errors Of the past. ut

Druggist Tells How
TO Stop Indigestion
Recommends to stomach Sufferers n
ReaI Remedy

"It is a wonder some of us have
stomachs left" remarked Iell-
known drug clerk recently. While
all drug stores sell a score or more
of stomach remedies for which there
is a wide demand, many of them are
lust pepsin pills which aid or arti-
Hcially force digestion of the food that
is in the stomach at the present time.
They have no curative strength at all,
and of course do not reach or cure
me cause. So the same people keep
on coming here and buying and using
peptics. When anyone really asks my
ordinary bisurated magnesia, which
doesn't digest the food at all but acts
as an antacid and astringent and
sweetens the sour, highly acid con-
tents of the stomach. That stops the
pain, heartburn sour rising, gas,
bloating, fullness, etc, of acid ,dys-
pepsia in just a few minutes, and the
stomach digests it's food without help
or trouble, which is the proper way.
"Of course there are many kinds of
magnesia but people who have stom-
ach trouble should insist on getting
it in the form of Bisurated Magnesia.
This comes in powdered form and in
tablets-never as liquid or milk" A
lot of bisurated magnesia is sold in
Harrisburg. All druggists have it
and a teaspoonful in a little water
after every meal will quickly relieve
almost any case of acid indigestion.
Geo. A. Gorgas can supply you.-Ad-
vertisement.

Lemons Beautify!
Make Quarter Pint
of Lotion, Cheap

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complex
ion blemishes; to bleach the skin
and to bring out the roses, the fresh
ness and the hidden beauty? But
lemon juice alone is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and COM
pleXion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for small Jar of ordin-
airy cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle. then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem
