RUsSI.i .iyD THE GREAT WAR.


Premier Eerensky complains that
Russia is worn down because she has
been in the war eighteen months
longer than any Ct the other allies.
This whine OF Kerensky is merely
subterfuga that covers what has re-
ally happened.
What has really happened is that
German diplomacy and intrigue. aided
by internal cowardice and dissenti0n,
ut the lotion of which is socialism,
in some way and the war so far as
Russia is concerned may be over.
Z" These in high places may try to
ccrer thess facts az much as possible
hut they are true nevertheless.
Russia IS not likely to worry the
Central Powers any more. True, Rus
STA may not give the Central Powers
as much as IL grain Of corn, nor an
ounce OF anything that would he of
benefit 10 the war Gil the side of the
Central Powers, but deadly supineness
will lie worth more than ANYTHING that

The Spirit Of Hoardine.

Lake Charles .Amcritan-Iress.
The spirit that prompts people to
hoard the necessities of life is bad in
time Of peace even when there is
plenty of everything.
But what shall we think of people
who Euy the very life necessities at
time like this when everything and
every resource is cramped to meet the
requirements Of living, and hoard them
away out of sight to Ee doled out at
extortionate prices because the people
have to have them?
What, we say. shall people think of
felix's that will do such things! And
yet this country is full Of them.
They are as thick as lice In the
larger cities of the North and East,
where eggs. meat lard and scores of
other commodities have been cornered
in Unreasonable volume and are being
held at rates simply outrageous And
the misery of it all is there is no
way-no law ~ Which these people
might lie reached and punished.
Compared to the spies or alleged
SIZES of Germany they are far worse
and their work is far worse than any
work that might POSSIBLY lie done Ey
spies.

There are lot OF slackers. en-
ployeG By one Of the big automo-
bile factories. who think they have
deceived Uncle sam "a regards reg
istratiOn for conscription. but they
are due for a rude awakening
The company, being patriotic, de-
manded registration cards OF their
employees on the day following regis
tration day Many Of them didn't
rave cards and offered all sorts o.
excuses. which were carefully not
ed Most Of them said they were
too old or too young.
This concern ma kes Il a practice
Of noting the age OF every applicant
for employment and they checked
up on the excuses. They found that
nearly all OF those who claimed ex-
emption because OF their ages were
either lying then or had lied when
they applied for employment
A list OF the employees who appear
cd on The books OF the company rs
OF registration age was sent 10

ton from registration and also show
