In statue-like repose.

Tllumed the Eastern skies,
She passed through Glory's morning

And walked in paradise.

JAPAN AS A WAR FACTOR.

japan is reported to be making strong repre-
sensations to the Russian provisional govern
ment in endeavoring to carry conviction OF the
necessity to that country's safety OF continuing
active alliance with the entente nations. 1t is
guite reasonable to credit this activity to Japan
ese statecraft, and the added report that Japan
desires to cooperate with Great Britain and
the United States in particular, IN bringing
friendly pressure to bear on the Russian situa-
Ition is good news, if authentic. What Russia
does in the near future is of paramount interest
to Japan for upon it must depend the carrying
forward of the program which was the motive
of the alliance between Japan and the former
Russian government. One thing seems in
creasingly evident: Japan does not see her in
terests conserved by German victory or by a
peace which leaves an unsettled future. She
is, therefore, to be easily credited with will
ingness to become more active factor in the
conduct of war negotiations and of war prose-
cution.
Some decidedly interesting speculation on
Japan s cooperation with the entente in the
event of Russia's withdrawal from the war is
pertinent just now Japan has been supplying
large amounts Of ammunition, equipment and
general manufactures to Russia. With Russia
out of the war; a market for such materials
would have to be sought among the nations in
the war, that is among Japan's allies, Of whom
in practical sense now numbered. If
Japan found herself in position to supply in
part the needs of the west Europe allies, thus
lessening their dependence on us, this would be
important to our ability to equip and train a
large army in short period of time.
IF Japan became active by naval co-opera-
ton, by putting her resources Of manufacture
into use to aid in quick mehilizing of large
army Of our men in France, and in other details
easily imagined, Russia's failure would be no
unmixed evil.

A Hint to the Red Cross.

Mount Sterling, H., Democrat
Message: The American Red Cross
society Is out to raise $100,000,000
for. use during the preselt war. and
at this time literature is being scat
tered broadcast throughout the land
to stimuli the work of the society.
We have no fault to find with the
Red Cross nor the greet work 1t is
doing, but we can readily see how
thousands of dollars could be saved
in the manner of advertising and in
postage. One day this week, this
office received eight letters from the
Washington headquarters of the So
ciety, all OF which were exactly
alike, and we have been informed
that the other printing Offices here
received like number of the same
letters. Each letter required two
cent stamp and in it was a circular
letter printed on the very best grade
of bond paper and another large cir
cular. Thus to the two offices re-
ferred to came sixteen letters, exact
ly alike, requiring 32c in postage, to
say nothing of the cost of the paper
used, the printing, work Of mailing,
ETC. If this same ratio Of extrava-
gance prevailed throughout the coun-
try, it is easy to figure out the great
expenditure of money
money donated for work on the fields
of battle, by well meaning people
throughout the land. We simply call
attention to this, hoping tht in some
way it may reach the ears of the
proper parties who will see to it that
