Bearing of Russ Crisis.

The Temps in an editorial headed
Russia and the Conference" says:
Before their conference the allied
governments and the members OF their
STATS yesterday were engaged In pre-
liminary conversations which necessa-
rily were Influenced, as the conference
itself will be. by the unprecedented
crisis which Russia is traversing. No
plans for military operations in the
Balkans can be studied without pre-
occupation with regard to the Russian
army now retiring in Galicia. The dip
lomstic situation cannot be examined
into without taking into account the
new initiative of the Russian ministry.
which would fix a date for a conference
as regards the war aims OF the allies
for next month.
The article concludes by warning
Russia that the way to END pioooshen
ia not to convince the allies. but TO
conquer their adversaries within ana
without Russia.

Advances to Allies Necessary.

Expressing his disappointment at the
necessity OF such large advances to the
allies, the chancellor referred to the
British standpoint of unselfish generos-
ity in regarding the whole entente
allied cause as one. and explained that
the cost of all the supplies for the
allies produced in Great Britain dur
ing the war had been betrayed by Eng
nd, and that previous to the entry of
America into the war much of the sup
plies to The allies produced abroad also
had been paid for by England.
In an interesting reference to the
United States, Mr.. Ronar Law said:
when America entered the strug-
gle we realized that great change
had come over the allies financial
strength. President Wilson was slow.
and, in my judgment, rightly slow. In
bringing his country to the vortex of
this terrible war. but. having come in,
he has shown by his speeches in the
clearest way that he is determined to
throw the whole weight of the nation
he heads into the scale. ! am sure
to make the financial arrangements
needfu1 in a war like this. the Presi-
dent and the great nation he repre-
SCENTS will deal in this matter with the
same spirit of generosity. or rather of
realization of what the whole issue
means, as has been shown by England.
and that we can rely on receiving in
the United States resources which are
necessary to pay for supplies Of all
kinds required by the allies in America

an appropriation of 1915 900 for sup
port of'the National Guard for two
years and payment of unpaid bills and
cost of horses furnished by the Ma

The latter sum is reappropriated. The
other appropriations for purpose of
improving the permanent camp site at
Mt. Gretna, the s165,0O0 appropriated
for the National Guard encampment
last year, but not used because of the
call of the guard to the Mexican bor-
der service. This will enable work to

early day.
The Haight bill to make the National
Guard of Pennsylvania conform to the

finally in the House by vote of ia to

luton recites that such a law would

Grandmother's Botanic Medicine

In every pioneer home the botanic
recipes of our grandmothers for the
treatment of disease were wonderfully
dependable. Every fall she gathered
her various herbs: thoroughwort.
eamomile. sage, pennyroyal. worm
wood, rue, etc. 1t is interesting to
note that Lydia E. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound. the most successful
remedy for female ills we have, was
originally prepared for home use from
one of these botanic recipes, and the
demand for this famous medicine has
grown until over $4,000 pounds of
roots and herbs are used annually in
its preparation. 1t will well repay any
woman who suffers from female ills
to give this famous medicine a trial.

BY Arthur Symons

have seen many pale Ophelia,
But never any lily like to this
Whom to her death white water lilies
kiss;
have seen many a luting Viola
Waken sad music through Illyria,
But such a perfect song of laughing
bliss,
Made woman, yet flower at heart,
/. there is
Nowhere but in one heavenly Julia.
These in the fragrant garden of the
soul
Come up like images and ghosts of
flowers.
The death-white lily and the violet,
Pure color and suaye odor; but the
whole
Enchantment of the garden is not ours
Till the last magic blooms in Juliet.

TRY TO DODGE WAR TAXES
Bv dSsocidfed Pgsss

Milan, Italy, March 27.-The gov
ernment tax on war Industries for the
year 1916 amounted to $4,000, 900 for
liza companies. the total profits of
for 3S4 companies at the neighboring
city of Turin amounted to $1,000, 900.
OF this sum an automobile company
alone paid s1,250,0oO. While many
companies appear to have endeavored
to dodge the war tax, 1t has been
strictly applied. Many companies de-
claring earnings of $1,000 to $40, 900
have been forced to pay far greater
sums, together with penalty for in
