their small salaries. Their problems
 have been increased tenfold and as is
 always the case, it is the small-sal-
 aried man who is the hardest hit. Most
 of the visitors who now crowd Wash lington are men of means and can well
 afford to pay the exorbitant prices
 charged.
 Opportunities to make money are
 plentiful The merry game of chasing
 the almighty dollar is pursued with a
 zest probably never before equaled in this country, and if many residents of the capital are being victimized, others who are in a position to make money as a result of the tremendous activities now going on, are reaping a golden harvest. Hotel and restau- rant proprietors and keepers of lodg- ing houses are rapidly accommodating swollen bank accounts. Rooms in the better hotels are beyond the reach of anyone but plutocratic individuals. Rooms in cheap hotels that used to be rented to the riffraff for 25 and 50 cents a night are now "s2 and up." Flats leased in advance by Walling- lords before the rush began for $75 month are now being subleased for. $20 day.
 In the hotels and restaurants the stranger never has any idea what he is going to be charged for modest meal. It is amusing to learn that there is no system in gouging the public. Prices for identically the same accom- modations vary to an astonishing de- gree. Maybe a price agreement will come later. There is a disposition the bonifaces to get all they can and if one underbids the other it is due to the fact that he either doesn't know what the other fellow is charg- ing, or doesn't believe his patrons will submit to extbrtion. Even the quick lunch places have joined the process sion.
 Washington just now is probably I the most expensive city on earth in which to live.

Eager Response to
 Appeal to Housewives

ZINE of the most important cam. NJ paigns growing out of the wal is being conducted this week. And il involves no collection of money. Ii is a campaign to prevent waste of food in the household. Women are merely asked to sign pledge cards to conserve the family food supply.
 This appeal has been signed already by four million American women Representatives of the government who are closely identified with this nationwide movement have mani fested their unbounded satisfaction at the enthusiastic interest taken in the work in all sections of the country.
 What a campaign of this character means in helping to feed our soldiers and in supplying the allies with food cannot be overestimated. And the pledge falls so lightly on the in- dividual as scarcely to be felt. Yet the idea connotes sacrifice, as all ideas of a like nature do. But sac rifice made for humanity should be a real joy, and it is so with all but selfish souls.
 There has always been waste in many families that have been blessed with an abundance of the good things of life. Much of the waste has been wanton, but even those families that have been prudent, as a rule, might have made their table bounty go much further by exercising more care.
 A little food saved here and there every day would amount to a great volume when all the families of the United States were striving for the same end. All honor to the house. wives of America who have signed the pledge cards. And having made the conservation promise it behooves them to remain steadfast to the end
 As long as the war lasts food saw ing will be absolutely necessary ir order for us to win the victory. And after the conflict is ended we must still practice conservation, for the starving millions of Europe must be fed. Let us rejoice that the fooG pledge canvass has been the splendiC success that is now officially reported

CALL OF sDIXIE,

From the Seattle ost-Intelligencer.
 The Atlanta Constitution notes tn recent remarkable demonstration of Seattle audience at the Gerard meeting when the stirring strains of Dixie, the old southern battle song, wer heard. and feels that the people of a the country are making "Dixie'' the na tional anthem:
 "Dixie reminds them of the old day; while it Is ringing call to the patriot ism of the new. It is as if the people hal said: '"Dixie. and the Old Flag fol ever!'
 ''The music of The Star-Spangle Banner receives cordial, dignifieI recognition, the people slowly risinl to its measured strains; but Dixie a rise with rush. whether they vii or no!
 "T can't keep my seat when tn band plays .Dixie,"' said an emineil Englishman. I'm up in. an instani cheering with the crowd
 And Dixie is played over there nov7 It put God Save the King in the bacll ground when the American trooII marched through the streets of Londd} on the way to the western front.

 And so 1t Is; there is something Dixie" that tingles the blood and gel the patriot on his feet, and 1t isn't N the words. For demonstration of dil nified patriotism "The Star-SpanglkI Banner" fills the bill. but to get tt patriot 'on his toes" with a whoop all hurrah, let the band play Dixie"

Profiteers Are Numerous In National Capital

m RoFITEERING has become fine H art in Washington. Pirates with | desire to get rich quick are so numerous that they literally tread on one another's heels. These gentry are fattening alike on the patriots who are trying to serve the government in time of war and other profiteers who now make the national capital their headquarters, scrambling for war contracts and in other ways seeking to pile up fortunes.
 War taxes are serving as an ex- cuse to boost prices out of all reason. The cost of living has scared to such heights 1t is a wonder that govern ment clerks contrive to exist at all on

Russia Has Not
 Quit the War

1 lOREMlER KERENSKY's state 4 ment to the Associated Press, given to correspondent Thursday, in Petrograd, seemed an acknowledment that Russia's force was spent, that in- stead of giving any more aid to the allies in their war against the central powers, the allies themselves would have to shoulder the burdens, includ- ing the task of rehabilitating Russia. But Secretary Lansing takes an optimistic view of the situation. Tn an official statement issued yester- day the Secretary says that neither on the basis of many official advices to the government nor on the basis of Premier Kerensky's statement, could it be said that Russia was about to quit the war"
 The state departments report of Kerensky's interview is fuller and clearer than the preliminary report isent out to the press. MT. Lansing says it contains nothing to justify the impression created by the Wash ington Posts headlines to the effect that Russia was out of the conflict. According to telegraphic advices on file in the state department the premier and his government fare still animated by a strong determination to organize all Russia's resources in a whole-hearted resistance and carry the war through to victorious com- pletion."
 With such a reassuring message the Amerfan public will be more than ever in favor of backing Russia to the last.
 The premier spoke as a man who had not lost hope for the future of his country, but was oppressed by the tre- Imendous problems he and his people are facing. Economically Russia is on the verge of ruin, despite the huge sums advanced by America. A new loan of $31, 100000 has been author ized, but this will prove only drop in the bucket.
 As the premier points out, Russia has been fighting longer than either France or Great Britain, and to her credit it should be acknowledged that the Russian armies in their initial of fensive against Germany scored bril- liant victories and kept huge bodies of troops engaged that might have turned the tide against the French when they were hard pressed and it seemed that Paris was doomed.
 It is also true that the revolution in Russia seriously complicated the sit uation. The provisional government is only seven months old. It would have been a marvellous achievement indeed if it had succeeded in restoring complete order in that length of time and establishing a government which
 would enable Russia to continue to play a prominent part in the war. It
 is sad to contemplate great country
 exhausted and helpless, but that is the blight of Russia.
 As military factor, Russia may no longer figure prominently in the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-03

present war, but she must be helped by America and her allies. We owe it to her as one democracy to another. It would be contrary to our ideals and our traditions if we did not give the aid so badly needed.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE c1rY.s THRALL

 The irony of fate's a theme
 That causes much amaze; A man for years and years did dream Of how he'd end his days. He hoped to have a little home, A little plot of ground, From which he'd never want to roam, The tranquil seasons round. He'd take his ease and Quaff the cup Of happiness brimmed oer; Though stocks went down and stocks
 went up,
 He'd never worry more. But time passed by, the daily grind He simply couldn't quit. Financial problems vexed his mind More than he would admit. Age sprinkled snow upon his head, He lost his youthful gait; still on the quest of gold he sped, His toll would not abate. And when there came the final call To join deaths costly band. Men saw him by ticker fall, The tape crushed In his hand,

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Why Coffee Has Not Advanced

Tt strikes mo as being quite odd that
 I have never seen anything In the papers
 commenting on the fact that coffee Is the
 only food commodity which has not ad- 1 vanced in price and I have been asked
 by number of people why 1t has not ad- vanced," said William F. Donovan, pres
 ident Donovan Provision company.
 There are several reasons, but tho 1 principal one Is that the export of coffee ! to Germany and her allies has been cut l off and this naturally restricts the mar i ket for coffee. On top of this South 1 America has had two enormous crops 1 coffee in their country Heretofore, in { years Of big crops money has been ad- 1 vanced by French and German bankers to the coffee producers so that they could hold their coffee back for more favorable conditions. For these reasons, coffee is 8 little lower in price now than before the war started. It is true that the cost of supplies. such as cans, cases and labels has advanced, but the advance in these items has been offset by the decline in coffee, so that we are selling coffee at the same price which we did before the war.
 Tt seems to me that with the high cost of other foods, the consumers should use more coffee. The food value of coffee is high and this is evidenced by the fact producing country, breakfast Is not served until about Il o'clock in the morning. Up to this time the people have had no food except cup or two of coffee 1t seems to me that if people are able to do practically half days work on cup of coffee the food value of coffee Is very high I believe what I have said with other foreign countries.
 "In demonstrating our Red Diamond coffee, we find that we can make 40 cups to the pound, and no doubt any other good coffee vii make the same number of cups. At this rate coffee would cost the consumer certainly not more than 11a cents per cup, allowing for the cost of sugar and milk I cant for the life of me see how anyone could complain of thls, and it also seems to me that the con- sumer would use more coffee and less of something else.
 T have heard it stated in the last day or two that the restaurants contemplate putting the price of coffee to 10 cents cup. If this is done, the only excuse that they will have for doing so will be that every one seems to expect higher prices, so why not get all you can? At 10 cents a cup, there would be 400 or 800 per cent profit and I don't believe that the res- taurants or anyone else are entitled to this much.
 Tt may appear as If I were talking for my own interest, but the facts remain. nevertheless, that coffee has not ad- vanced in price and that coffee is very sustaining.
 With these two facts before them, the consumer should use more coffee and less of something else"
