is A MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENT
Removes Mountain Barriers Con-
serves Earth's Treasures

Mighty indeed-fo2 not alone has
the Milwaukee Road" by its electri-
fication across the Continental Divide
(now being extended through the Cas-
cade Range) leveled the mountains as
La barrier to transportation but has
also released great stores of earth's
treasured energy for other much
needed purposes.
BY utilizing the hitherto wasted
power of mountain waterfalls to move
the heavy steel trains across the
mountains of the northwest, there is
conserved annually over quarter of
a million tons of coal, over half mil
lion barrels of oil, and the thousands
of ears necessary to transport this flu
el are freed to serve other pressing
needs of transportation.
In this world crisis, when every re-
source Of the nation is taxed to its ut
most, this Milwaukee" achievement
takes on extreme Importance.
When next you journey TO the
'cities of the Pacific Northwest travel
the smooth, smokeless, cinderless cleo
trio way-via the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St.Paul Railway.

prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. 1t is COM
posed of some of the best tones known,

Skirt of New Suit Is Plain as Well as
Tight and Short Enough to
Clear the Ankles.

Jenny, like many others of the lead
of the comparatively narrow skirt and
the long coat which covers the knees.
The skirt is, as n rule, plain as well
as tight, and short enough to clear the
ankles. Then the coat is ample ut the
hem and very picturesque in design.
These new knee-length coats are fash
Toned in several different ways. Some
are quite loose, with a wide ceinture
to confine them at the waist; others
are sc shaped that they mold the form
without being at all tight; others again
are long and loose, like the coats worn
by Cinnamon of high degree, says
Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent.
The design of the coat permits on
siderable exercise of individual taste,
but the general outline remains the

a long coat.

A Legend of Christmas

In sword and sash and scarlet coat
Upon q Christmas day,
Through frosty woods and hoary
fields
A soldier rode away.
She watched him through the falling
snow,
A young and lovely maid
In milky pearls and flowing robes
Of velvet green arrayed.
With rumors of the distant wars
The months went slowly by
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the sky,
And, walking in the lonely wood,
A bush the maiden found
With thorns as sharp as little swords
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And wove a wreath to wear
Of scarlet berries, bright and gay,
And set it ON her hair.
And, 10, the pearls upon her breast
Were changed to berries, too,
And, rooted to the oak, a branch
Of mistletoe she grew.
When sweet and clear the Christ
mas bells
Ring out DER vale and hill
The maiden-mistletoe is seen
In pearls and velvet still,
And with her in the revels ruled
By music, mirth and folly,
In sword and scarlet still arrayed,
Behold the soldier-holly!
-Minna Irving in Leslie's.

By EDWARD w. PlckARD.

Kerensky and the provisional gov
eminent of Russia nave fallen; the
Maximalists led by Nikolai Lenine,
pro-German agitator, are in the sad
die; the premier has fled and five or
more Of the members of his cabinet
are under arrest; Immediate peace
with the central powers will be Of
fered by the extreme radicals In con-
troll. Such is the dispiriting news that
m from the Slav republic, SO
called. Chaos exists there and a long
continued reign of anarchy Is the pros
pect.
The only hopeful feature Of the
situation is that, as Ambassador Bakh-
meter says, the revolt is a revolt Of
the few against the many. The Max
imalists control Petrograd and prob
ably the fortress of Kronstadt, but
tEey have all Russia to reckon with,
and especially the Cossacks, who have
no sympathy with the plan to make a
separate peace with the central pow
ers. M. Bakhmeteff feels sure that
the majority of the Russians who fol-
lowed Kerensky are with the provi-
sional government heart and soul, un-
derstand that Russia's freedom can be
assured only by the defeat of Germany
by the allies, and will fight to the end.
The spirit prevailing in P~etrograd, he
asserts, Is not representative of the
Russian spirit as a whole.
Loyal Women Fight the Rebels.
- nf oil tho nrrand fnraoS in, ond about
the capital it appears that the wom-
ans battalion alone remained loyal to
the government. 1t was stationed at
the winter palace and when that build
ing was attacked by the cruiser Au-
rora and the guns of the fortress Of
st. Peter and st. Paul, 1t fought as
bravely as possible until overwhelmed
and compelled to surrender. The bat
tie lasted four hours and was spec
tacular. The rebels brought up ar
mored cars to aid in overcoming the
resistance of the heroic ONE There
was no chance to call other loyal troops
to Petrograd, for the leaders of the
workmen's and soldiers delegates had
seized the posts and t~elegraphs.
The rebel congress vas convened
Wednesday night, the officers elected
including Lenine and Leon Trotzky.
Several proclamations were issued,
one of them stating the program of
the new authority to be:
"First-The offer Of an immediate
democratic peace.
"Second-The immediate handing
over of large proprietorial lands to
the peasants.
"Third-The transmission of all au-
thority to the council of soldiers and
workmen's delegates.
"Fourth-The honest convocation of
q constitutional assembly"
1t is believed in London that Keren-
sky will re-establish the provisional
government In Moscow and that the
Soviet will not be strong enough to
hold out long against him. For the
present, however, the pro-Germans
have the upper hand.
Italians Retreat to the Llvenza.
AS lad been expected, Count Ca
dorna did not attempt to make a long
stand on the Tagliamento river line
against the ~on-sweeping Austro-Ger-
man armies, but fell back last week
to the LIvenza, twelve to eighteen
miles west. The enemy followed close
ly, and the prospect was that the Ital-
fans would speedily be forced back to
the Piave, where their main armies
were being established. Ca
