from this cursed magic circle-the war,
how to save Russia from financial ruin,
how to supply labor with work. Wa
are confronted by the questions OF raw
materials. fuel, food and transporta-
ton. But Petrograd is occupied with
something else, such as, What did
TchernofF say?" or "On what grounds
did Kerensky utter 'ah'"
Petrograd to-day is like the old
bazaar of Constantinople.
Petrograd Is Just One
Vast Insane Asylum
When Parliamentary passions are
afame every Parliament resembles an
insane asylum. There are cries, hys-
terical screams. Mature, respectable
looking men jump on benches, knock,
whistle, throw things on one another,
fight.
Petrograd Is just one vast insane
asylum. Psychiatrists and those who
have been confined in prison know
cases of general hysteria seizing all
inmates. One of them usually begins
to whine wildly. Another voice echoes.
A third takes up the music. Then the
whole house is plunged into Mysteries.
Horrible sounds come from all direc-
tons. Heads are being knocked against
the walls, doors are being broken open.
Each prisoner clearly sees a fire, sees
the asylum afame, himself burned
alive. SO with Petrograd. Some one
shouts: Counter revolution!" And all
Petrograd is pouring out into the
streets, Selling arms, roaring, crying.
The whole city becomes an insane
asylum.
In Petrograd all is exaggerated. In
Petrograd everybody is eXaggerating.
Soldiers, workmen, correspondents, the
public, the government.
Stunned by the noise, din, tumult,
general hysteria, the people have an
obscure picture of what is going on,
what they themselves are doing.

REFRAIN


After the war is over
III come back to you
Marching to songs of Victory
Won for the Red, White and Blue
Somewhere I know you'll be waiting
Patient and tender and true
Then its Home Sweet Home forever
And the Stars and Stripes and you.
Alas when the fighting was over
And the boys came marching home
She received the sorrowful tiding
Watching and waiting alone.
But somehow il softened the heartache
To hear of the duty well done
To think Of the happy reunion
When all of Life's battles are won

THEY KNOW UNCLE SAM is
IN THE GAME

~ HERE should be better
VI work for patriots to do
than rail at the govern
ment for not having accom-
plished all its war plans by this
time and subdued the foe.
All know the administra-
ton faced a gigantic task when
war came to US. AS a peace
loving republic we did not
want war and were not pre-
pared for it. That was not
President Wilson's fault. He
had accomplished much along
preparedness lines but the
heaviest work had to be taken
up after war was declared.
Since the United States
entered the war we have made
giant strides. We enacted a
compulsory service lava far
reaching step-and it is now
in working order thus assuring
our quota of men for active SER
vice at the front.
On top of this our country
has assumed financial duties of
wonderful Importance to the
allied nations. In fact the Am
erican financial help plus sup
plies from this country might
be said to constitute the back
bone of the allied strength. We
are building ships on a MAN.

marine losses; we are to eX-
pend over six hundred millions
for aeroplanes and will soon
be in shape to provide a milli-
on soldiers for the battle field,
Our navy is already at work.
the destroyer flotilla being of
particular value.
In other words the United
States has made itself a great
factor in the war by working
effectively and Systematically
along lines where the most
good can be accomplished. We
should do much more and will
do it but let no one be deceived
into the idea that the United
States has been sluggard.
We are making ourselves felt
and good proof of this may be
found in the fact that ever
since we entered the war the
kaiser has been crying foI
peace.

THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER

TN satirizing war George
Bernard Shaw presented
the character of a soldier
who carried chocolate creams
in his cartridge box and ate
freely of them. He was an in
consequential warrior, but he
was scientist, perhaps of the
unconscious variety, as devel-
opments of the present war
have demonstrated.
Chocolate soldiers" are
common in these days. The
Westminster Gazette says:
"The Australians encamped in
Egypt have eaten all the cho-
colate in Cairo. All the troop
ships find it impossible to sup
ply their soldier passengers
with the candy they crave. :"
The Gazette tells also of the
"prodigious quantity of sweets
consumed by the army in
France" A British captain at
the front reports that the can
teen has experienced five
times the demand for sweets
that was expected and only
one fifth the expected demand
for beer.
The German government
has officially requested the
children to save their pennies
in order to send sugar choco-
late to the soldiers. The Uni
ted States, it appears, formerly
sent tons of candy to its soldi-
ers in the Philippines. Not
long ago, when the Atlantic
squadron of the United States
fleet started on a cruise, it car
ried no LIQUOR. but it had on
board 10000 pounds of chOco-
late and candy.
Here is the reason: Choco-
late is a stimulant. but without
the harmful effects of liquor.
Sugar serves as tonic to the
heart, quickly providing that
organ with muscular energy.
It is digested speedily and re-
lieves fatigue. Sugar furnish
es at lower cost heat and food
units equivalent to the COM
mon forms of food, such as
meat and vegetables.
One has been variously told
that an unlimited supply of
ammunition, an overwhelming
number of aeroplanes, an ex-
cess of wheat flour or some
mysterious device to cope with
submarines will win the war.
Well. what if the outcome
should depend upon the sup
ply of chocolate creams?-

may have been unavoidable, the public
does not understand how the law of
