AUToCRACY's SWAY IN RUSSIA.

Some day the responsible element of
the Russian people will regret the trait
orism of their country to their allies,
even if they do not feel that regret now
as the Bolsheviki government goes to
place itself in the hands of the nation
which is Russias worst enemy whether
in peace or in war. Germany wants
nothing more ardently than supremacy
over Russia. For many years the Slav
peril, as it is called in Germany, has been
one of the things most abhorred by the
Germans; there has been great fear lest
the expanding nation to the eastward
would overbulk the home of "Kultur,'
the home of the worlds excellence, if
one is TO believe the utterances of the
ruler and the statesmen and the highly
educated persons of the imperial domain
Russia was a menace to Germany not
only in the military sense because of its
vast preponderance of population but in
a commercial sense as well. Russia,
along with Great Britain, was considered
in Berlin to be the obstruction to Ger
man expansion, even to world domino
ton; France was looked upon as a de-
cadent nation and the United States was
considered too complaeent to stand in the
way of the German onrush to the pin
nacle of world supremacy. Germany
had eliminated all Others except Russia
and Great Britain from the reckoning.
And now the Bolsheviki element in the
Russian domain goes to place the entire
Russian people in the hands of the UNI
scrupulous ruler who had plotted their
downfall. Such irony Such utter fool
ishness, as the day was dawning when
Russia could, with the aid of her allies.

Such an atrocity as firing second
torpedo at a sinking steamer while the
women and children aboard her were
trying to get into the lifeboats reveals
nothing new in German horror; it merely
pins down the conviction that the United
States and her allies are fighting a fiend
in the human flesh. The attack on the
British steamer Apapa was brutality in
high degree, not perhaps the initial firing
of torpedo at the fleeing steamer but
surely the sending of second torpedo
which prevented the rescue Of nearly one
hundred persons, many Of whom were
women and children innocent of any
crime or wrong doing against Germany
but only caught on vessel of Germany's
enemy. And yet the kaiser with utter
sacrilege continues to boast that God is

should be to scrutinize every appeal for

ner and then to report for or against the

TO be generous; they want to do all they

lend their assistance toward alternating
suffering caused by the war. At the
same time they wish to be spared from
the assaults of unworthy or poorly ad-
ministered calls for assistance; they
wish to place their money where it will

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Ruthless Cutting" of Christmas Trees

Editor Times: | have been interested
in the discussion in regard to the cutting
of Christmas trees and | hope that they
will keep it up until this ruthless cutting
of our young spruees is stopped. Eight
cases out of ten, the cutting of the young
trees is a shame and an irreparable dam
age to the state, and | hope that at our
next session of the legislature there will
be laws passed that will control the cut
ting of all commercial woods in the state.
The state is paying out thousands of
dollars ever year reforesting our hill
sides and a few individuals are doing
more damage than it all amounts to.
This is no time for sentiment. We are
up against facts and have got to face
them on every side. Those that are en-
gagged in cutting, drawing and shipping
these trees had better be doing something
worth while at this time when there are
so many suffering for fuel to keep warm.
That isn't all. We of to-day are using
our heritage, but by this great waste

President Wilson's proclamation prohibiting the transfer of American ships to foreign registry without the boards permis sion will be used as weapon to stop British practices which are decidedly onerous to American ship masters.
 American ship owners have made bitter complaint against British eff forts to coerce them into the coal trade between Britain and France and of attempts to force them to carry munitions American masters say that while the harbors are full of British shipping afraid to venture out on account of the submarine warfare, they are refused supplies or repairs unless they will carry munitions to France.
 The shipping board. it is under stood, also intends to take up the question of coaling American ships in the Pacific. Vessels sailing from San Francisco have been forced to leave British island ports without coal or supplies because they refused to enter the war zone with supplies for the Allies.

ASSAULTED AT FRYE HOTEL

SEATTLE, March 23.-Sidney 5. Stephenson. purchasing agent for the British government, is lying at the point of death here as the result of a mysterious assault committed in his room at the Frye Hotel in this city Stephenson was slugged over the head with some blunt instrument, which fractured his skull. He is un- conscious and the doctors express the belief that he will not regain con sciousness before death comes. The police have made a thorough exami- nation of the room but have been unable to unearth any clue which would lead to the identity of the as sailant. Robbery was probably the motive for the assault as $25,0o0 worth of checks Stephenson was known to have in his possession have disappeared.
