Activity of Russian Women

AS Russia was the first country
Where women were given control over
their inherited property, ana as Petro.
grad las had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, il IS not strange that women
have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been more dangerous per-
hap&, TO the government, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
of the women amaZons are revolutions
lists and that their military experience
was sought for the opportunity 1t gave
them to spread their doctrine

EVERY EFFORT U

Your part in the work may seem small to you, and you are likely to
forget that however small individual efforts may seem when they stand alone
in the aggregate they n mighty.
To illustrate, saving a ounce Of butter a day seems too pcayunish to count;
but if every n of the twenty million families in the United States did it,
it would mean the saving of 45eOOoOo pounds in a year.
Again, suppose a nickel contributed by every individual in the country
to a special war fund. That individuals nickel would look Sc small that he
would be likely to say whats the ue?"
Yet if every man, woman and child in the country Clipped in a nickel. the
fund would amount to So 00000-enough to buy shoes for an army of a mil
lion men,, enough to buy rifles and ammunition for an army of 100000 men.
Don't depGe the smalest. eft % help America win the a Don't dis
pse the smallest contribution, the smallest saving. Every effort, however
small, counts nightly in the aggregate. Every effort withheld, however
small, weakens the nation, delays peace and costs precious lives.

In this connection it is interesting to note that the new pacidst government,

Duluth Herald: The Herald pointed QUIT that the defeat of Mayor Mitchell
OF New York, would inevitably be interpreted by the German press as a de-
monstrahon Of nti-war sentimen in the countrys greatest city. Under date
OF Washington. Nov. 16, the following special dispatch a published in the
New York Times:
"Word reached Washington today that German press COM
ments upon the election results in New York interpret them as
a triumph for the American pacfsts"
;. THE Kreuz Zeitung asserts that the defeat of Mayor Mitchell
for reelection "a favorable to Germany, Is Mitchell, it says,
was a warm friend of the Entente and was pro-war, while it
maintains that Tammany Hall is pacifst and its whole ticket
was pacifst.
"Vorwarts and Germania quote from the Munich Neueste
Narchrchten, which holds that Hylan's election wei Mitchell is
evidence of a lack Of a enthusiasm in America and a moral
defeat" for President Wilson and the war party.
That rather looks as if the Germans liked the New York result. It is be-
side the question to say that the German papers misinterpret the expression.
Many elements entered into tn election. Party politics entered into it. Class
feeling was there. The struggle after patronage was n element. These and
Many elements entered into the election. Party politics entered into it. Class
the mayor who answered the challenge of the Hearst papers and of other dis.
loyal elements by taking his stand boldly in support of the a policies of the
government was defeated. That result was eminently satisfactory tt the
Germans, and they are expressing their delight a. they were expected tt do.

f A FOOD FOR r

In the winter the chickens need
something to take the place Of grass
hoppers, bugs and worms that furnish
them meat in the summer. The pre-
pared meat scraps sold on the market
are very convenient. Fresh green
bones are one of the best animal foods.
Half and ounce of crushed bone per
hen viii be sufficient. Skim milk can
be use as a partial substitute for the
meat or bone.

SOME FIGHTERS

The other day in looking over some
of the exchanges that come to our
desk we ran across , story Of q Gen
man barron who years ago | visited
Washington with a Bishop Ames. It
was at the close Of the Civil War.
Down the streets, in steady marching
trend, came company after company
with new uniforms. The barron said:
"What a fine lot 81 men!"
Then the Army of the Potomac
swept into line with it's firm and ex-
perienced step. The German baron
looked in surprise and shouted:
Bishop Those men can whip the
world!"
At last the great army of the west
marched by-an army decimated in
ranks and tattered in uniform. This
army marched in open order, singing
shouting and yelling like mad. Over.
each soldiers shoulder was a mess
kettle or a ham hanging from a forked
stick, or a chicken neck sticking out
of a KNAPP sack. Every man looedk
like Sherman and every man acted like
hell.
The sight ,overpowered the baron,
and threw his arms about the Bish-
op. "Bishop, Bishop, those men can
whip the devil!"
At this time @a9' rise to remark"
that the sonssand grand sons of this
great army of the west are about to
tackle the job.

END OF An ARMED RoBsER


One q the first sights which It ~,
ny lot to gaze upon since coming here
was q pubic exhibition Of 4 man con-
vtcted cf robbery under arms being led
forth to execution, 4 correspondent q
the North China Daily News writes
nom Pakow. We were inside the house
when We heard the sound Of the yard
long uumpets In the street and going
to the door beheld . procession paw-
Ing arrayed In the glory Of old China,
with its triangular shaped naes and
honoridc sign4boardA. together with 4
touch here and there Of Western
ideas
There were probably 200 soldiers In
the parade and they carried modern
rifles and. minus the cue, looked pass
able II rather slovenly in their n
Rage. Some officers rode horses and
were clad in semiforeim garments.
Our attention, however, was pardcu-
larry directed to the man who was to
die, who was coming along at the end
OF the line. His cart, the ordinary long
goods cart, had stopped for a minute
or two before it came to where I was
standing and on inquiry I found that It
had paused in front of q wine shop,
1t being the custom here that the CON
Wet should stop at any or all the wine
shops en- route to the execution ground
and drink all he wanted free Of charge,
By the time the man in his cart passed
me he appeared to be indeed drunk
and was muttering ~incoherently as a
Ii will when he is pretty deep in his
cups. he looked like any other SIM
pie countryman and one could not but
pity him in view Of the fact that he
was soon to be thrust unprepared into
the presence Of the Eternal Judge.
The execution ground was the river
side and just outside the town, and the
business which took the crowd there
was soon dispatched, for although l did
not go to see the spectacle I heard the
trumpets announcing the return of the
troops about 20 minutes afterward.
I am told by one who knows that the
body is not buried, but dragged into
the shade of a small clump of trees
near by and vultures and dogs soon
dispose of it.

MAKING PEACE WITH NOTHING

The kaiser wants peace, but evidently not badly enough to treat with the
rump government now in control at Petrograd. Not that the kaiseris ever
scrupuous Of the character of those with whom he deals II that a distinctly
desired end is any the less desirable because of the sources from which it
issues. But when it comes to placing his o K o a government which is only
a degree above anarchy by the recognition of that government, William II

Apparently Col. Roosevelt isn't wanted any place in u W. against Ger
many. His offer to raise a volunteer division to go to France at a time when
there was great need Of some act that would encourage the French nation,
was rejected. He was not wanted n the firing line, and he has been invited
to take n o part in the preparations at home Even the suggestion that he be
made a member of the delegation to the Allied conference was apparently
dspleasing to the administration. What should we do with u ex-presi-

THE HOUSE ON THE SAND

If Kerensky had shot Lenine last spring, Russia would still be a force to
be reckoned with in the war. The revolutionary government in Petrograd
which is succeeded by a government ever more revolutionary is the vic
tim Of its " ideaistc optimism. Whenever a government yields to the
radical element, whenever a executive or a legislative body fails to stand up
against the Entertainments of individuals or of organizations who would
usurp authority and compel action contrary to the common good, such n ex-
eeuice and such a legislature prepares its own downfall.
