difference between running two
items together and running them
separate, divided by four-pOint

plainly that they are two different

different when they are reproduced

A West Texas editor got tired of

THE MEXICAN EMBARGO.

In view of the fact that Mexico has been striving for some time for the removal of the embargo on ammuni- tions and arms esta blished by this government months ago. the new or der which has been issued to the eff feet that the exports council must hereafter deal with all questions in Volvirg the sending of such goods across the border was regarded in some circles as the first steps to the lifting of the ban and the compliance with the Mexican request, but such can hardly be justified.
 There was good reason for the es- tablishment of the embargo, and it would have been a good thing if it had not been lifted after it was first put on, but the very fact that Mexico has quieted down and appears to be on the way to the adjustment of it's affairs does not furnish a reason for repeating the mistake that was pre- viously made. Mexico is doing as we'll as it could be expected to under ex- isting circumstances and it is for the interest of this country to do all it can to hold it to that course, and cer- tainly nothing could be gained by all lowing munitions to go freely across the border.
 The placing of the authority con- corning this matter with the exports council instead of with the state de- partment is solely for the purpose of getting all such matters under one head, and by giving this council the power to decide what can go to Eu- rope it is but consistent that the same ones should deal with this same prob lem concerning Mexico. In all cases they must determine what is for the inf oT hA vn5t and it is impossible to see at the present time how they can look upon Mexico in any different light than the state department has in the past They will of course deal only with such articles as are included in the contra band list, since all other mat tfrs vii! still be under the state de- partn9e entS control and this applies to all other countries as well as the neighbor to the south. The time will come when the Mexican embargo. can be lifted in safety, but not now.

THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE.

Resardless of such resistance as the Austro Germans are offering, the Rus sians are making excellent progress in their advance upon Lemberg and in keeping with the previous drive which was made upon the Gaician capital they are capturing many pras- oners and much booty on the way.
 The plan of this campaign is much the same as that which was used in the previous advance over the same ground at the opening of the war. General Brussilof was then guiding the army in the field instead of being in supreme command, but it appears that he has an admirable successor in the person of General Kornilof who is closely following his tactics and prom 1ses to attain as great a success.
 Instead of being characterized as slow and sure, the present operations are carrying the Russians ahead fast and furious. Nothing appears to be sufficient to stop them and this gives the impression that the commander of the Russians has picked the point where the enemy is not perhaps the weakest but is the least able to check the advance. Important centers are being captured. including the military headquarters of the Austrian army in Gaiicia, rivers are being crossed and territory is being gained which is placing the Russian armies in a posi- tion to outf1ank the enemy. This progress if con ntinued is not only sure to force the Austrians and their Ger man and Turkish allies back upon Lemberg, but it makes it practically certain that that city cannot be suc
 cessfuliy defended. Some of the points which were depended upon to protect the capital have fallen and others are seriously threatened.
 The Russians are of course encoun- tering certain resistance but they are striking in manner which gives the enemy much surprise, when the dual monarchy Is torn with serious inter mai trouble and when Italy is giving g it much trouble on the western front. Everything therefore favors the Rus sians and they are taking full advan- tage thereof, as we'll as displaying g their old time form.

GERMAN INSURANCE AGENTS.

Brought to the full realization of the necessity of taking every precaution for the protection of it's interests, this country has at last awakened to the need Of placing 2 check upon the ac- tivity Of the representatives of the German insurance companies who by reason of their work have an unus- ually favorable opportunity for get ting valuable information concerning the movement oz vessels. the charac- ter of the goods carried, the sailing date and the point of destination.
 It is therefore only what was ex- pected when President Wilson issued a proclamation prohibiting German in surance ccmpsries from doing fur ther business in marine or war risks and forbidding American insurance compauies from reinsuring in them. When such insurance is taken out, or when there is any reinsuring done, it is part of the duties of the inspectors Of the German companies to visit the property in question. make a thorough investigation and learn all the facts relative to the cargo or vessel that is being insured. That of course gives them information which they could not get in any other way and facts which would be Of much importance to Germany which. under it's subma- rine policy. $ watching for every means of getting in touch with the movement Of vessels whether they happen to be merchantmen or war ships.
 Whether or not this was the way Tn which Germany on two different occasions received information re- garding the movements of United States war vessels in time to give it a chance to plan to destroy them may not have been determined, but it is an avenue to information and it has been recognized that each and ever one of them must be closed. Hence it is but a step in behalf of safety that the German insurance companies are prevented from engaging in this busi- ness during the period of the war, and while this is being done. it must be recognized that as effective means must be taken to cut off other chan nels which are open to those engaged in espionage work, as well as to run to earth and punish any who it may be established are engaged therein.

THE PROTEST OF SWEDEN.

Sweden IS making a protest to this country against it's embargo on ex- ports and declares that it cannot un- derstand the attitude of the United States government in the action which il has taken.
 den or any Of the other neutrals will take the trouble to investigate it. The United States and Germany are at war and therefore it cannot be expected that this country is going to do any thing to help Germany either to pro- long the war or to fight for victory, any more than Germany is going to use it's supplies for the purpose of helping this country or any other among the entente nations. As far as the neutrals are concerned this gov ernment intends to treat them with the utmost respect as to their rights, and in furnishing them with supplies 1t intends to go as far as good judg ment and the action of the neutrals in using such supplies will permit.
 It is fact nevertheless that the aertrals have been making large con- trfbutions to satisfy the demands of Germany. Insofar as they can fur aish those supplies out of their own surplus there can be no legitimate ob- lection upon the part of the entente, but when those neutrals are sending

 Norwich has got some slick boosters when it ccmes to batting themselves on the back and the most of their boosting is boosting the donations of a guileIess public into their pockets and then boost for some more. The poem is quite cute and as there doesn't appear to be any credit given to any of our illUstrious poets for the effu- sion it must be original to Norwich and the "cosey corner and should be copyrighted to save it.

THE KHAKI WORkBAG.

Really it is a very timely little af- fair, and so easy to make, too. You see, it looks very much like the soldier boys kit. being made of khaki, IS it is,- and it is every bit as pra ctical. This little sewing kit is made in two sections, each one of buckram or can vas in the shape of the shie of Co., lumbia. The buckram foundation is covered with khaki, the two sections joined a | the bottom and sides with a piece of unlined khaki about 2 inches wide and mea asuring in length the width and length of the bag: this joining section is creased through the center of it's entire length to make the bag collap psible. An inch- wide strip of the khaki about 12 inches in length is attached to the central point of each shield making a convenient strap for the wrist. And by the way of finish the outer edge of the bag is bound with a very tiny red white and blue cord, a distinctiveiy military but ton a1orns the attachment of the strap to the bag itself and lining of wide stripe red, white and blue silk adds a strikingly patriotic color note Bags of this type come in every convent ent size from 8 by 8 to 12 by 15
