A WISE DECISION.

It cannot help being felt that Fritz Kreisler. the Austrian violinist, has done the proper thing in asking to be relieved of the contracts which he holds to give concerts throughout this country These contracts meant q sum of $S5,0o0 or more to him in onstration of his ability. and it has been stated by him that the money which he received from the concerts was turned over to worthy charities in his country.
 But he is a subject of Austria. He fought with the Austrian army against Russia and it is fully real ized that Austria is an ally of Ger many. It is but natural therefore that there should be opposition to him in this country in view of the trouble which has been experienced by other foreign musicians over tl2e attitude which has been taken re- zarding the playing of patriotic se- ections, and it is not surprising that this feeling has to a great extent pre- vailed in his case whether Justified CT not
 There are those wi,o give no ere dence to the claim that his earnings go to charity bur contend that Amer ican dollars are being turned into bullets to be used against American soldiers. That the conduct of repre- sentatives of his government and the government of Germany while in this country is responsible for this suspic- ion is probable but Kreisler does much more to demonstrate his straightfor- wardness by the action he has taken than he could possibly have done by insisting on the fu1fIment of the con- tracts. He cannot be denied credit for this

DESPERATE RUSSIA.

For a long time there has been q quaEdary as to what was going to happen in Russia. This was true even before Kerensly YVES driver from Petrograd> for it was apparent that the manner in which he was cou- promising himself and negIecting ti.e welfare of his country could lead only to dissension and trouble.
 The uncertainty developed rapidly since the Bolsheviki secured contso at Petrograd and there Is even e greater question now as to what is going to happen than there was witr Kerensky in control. The Bolsheviki have by no means brought about a unification of the Russian people They have managed to draw a cer- tain number of the Speople and a cer- tain portion of the army to their standard but there are those who are working as assiduously for the over throw of the present unstable, govern

ENEMY INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Months ago, at a time when the agents of the enemy were making Q determined effort to destroy shipping and when information was gotten to the enemy regarding the despatch of our destroyers to Europe and the sending of troop ships so that. plans could be made, to intercept and de- stroy them by specially sewn mines and submarines waiting outside the barred zone, attention was called to the fact that advantages were pos sessed by the enemy through agents working in or through the many Ger man insurance CT reinsurance com panies in this country to learn all about the vessels which were to de- part for Europe, the time Of sailing, the destination and the character of the cargo Such was ascertainable through the regular channels of the insurance companies which of course make investigations before accepting risks and many of the German com panies were engaged in this very bus mess Not only were they in. a po- sition to get these important facts and send them home through neutral nations where they did business but we were encouraging German owned or controlled enterprises to profit fi- nancially at our expense.
 That the danger of this has been recognized by the government is now disclosed by the statement from Sec retary McAdoo to the effect that the business of the companies incorpor- ated in Germany or allied countries, barring life insurance concerns must be liquidated. The power possessed under the trading with the enemy act is to be exercised and the safety of the nation increased at a point where 1t is needed. It is protective step which should have far reaching bene- fit

 In view of the strenuous times is it not a wasteful and even sinful prac- tice. We are taught to save in every possible way.
 These many barrels that go up in smoke to please the eye for a few min utes might be put to use, by helping many poor families to keep warm With wood $500 a cord. and soaring what are poor going to do?
 Boys why not do a praiseworthy act Saw or break up your barrel slaves into fcot length. and take them to some poor family or to the United Workers, for distributions; or take them whole.

 Such is a ruling of the nationa' food administration which looks tc the wholesalers to enforce it by re- fusing to sell to those who do not abide by it.
