This appetite is developed from rid

thusiastic words and felt that life in
earnest was to begin for them at last.
Lois was a practical body and, be-
sides, had supreme faith in the in
variable correctness of the judgment
of the man she loved. Once Robert
RUSSELL out of work in a distant city,
mOneyless and half ill, had gone
through hard winter. barely earning
enough to live on. He had shared the
trials of the poor. He had never for
gotten it. The sufferings of the in-
digent from lack of fuel had struck
him fOrcibly The lack of work for
honest sober men had impressed him,
and keen observation had suggested a
thought of utilizing.
Robert did strange thing. He
leased an abandoned coal yard in
tenement district of the big city. Four
miles away from it, where a belt line
ran, was great barren prairie. Here
the various railroads sent their worn
out and useless timber ties, cords and
cords and acres and acres of them.
Here periodically these great heaps
were set on fire and burned to ashes
to get rid of them.
Robert went to the persons having
the matter in charge and was given
free license to cart away all he want
ed of the ties, which accumulated
daily. Then Robert set his project in
full operation. Winter was coming on,
the hard season for the poor. Robert
had purchased half dozen teams.
There was a large stable in the coal
ward and an old house. He fixed these
up in good shape, moved into the
house, furnished it up comfortably
and used one Of its rooms as an Of
fee.
Then Robert made it known in the
district that there was permanent or
temporary work for the worthy u1-
employed in the vicinity. 1t required
a dozen men to drive and load the
wagons which transported the ties to
the yard. hostlers as WELL and large
number to saw and split the wood.
Within q month the business was re-
duced to system.
1t proved q blessing to the poor, to
whom Robert sold the wood at fair
low price. Coal was delivered by the
bushel or the ton. Credit was given
where it was deserved. At the end OF

American Troops TO Russia
(From the New York Tribune).

1.-THE Evening Suns" Washington
correspondent reports that the Ad
ministration is ready to send a diyi-
sion OF American troops to Russia
If the Russian government requests
such a reinforcement. Certainly, the
idea OF American participation on the
Eastern as wen as the Western front
has been discussed IN high Admins
tration circles. Otherwise It would
be difficult to account for the cryp-
tic remarks made on the floor of the
Senate the other day by James
Hamilton Lewis, who for several
years past has acted as the Admins
tration's mouthpiece in matters of
the highest diplomatic concern.
Mr.. Lewis tactfully disclaims hay
ing spoken for anybody but himself
when he said that the United States
was going to send troops 10 Italy
and to Russia. But Washington
knows enough Of his intimate asso.
citation with the State Departments
policies to discount that disclaimer
as merely another manifestation of
his characteristic prudence and mod
esty.
Why shouldn't American troops 20
to Russia The public has somehow
got the idea that our military effort
would be confined to fighting Ger.
many in France and Belgium, The
West Front Is the primary front. But
It might be practicable in a military
sense to make completer use Of our
resources by employing a part of our
FORCES on the Eastern Front. Il Is
evident that we shall soon have more
troops than we shall have transports
IN which to carry them across the
Atlantic. There will always be
minimum of our shipping in the Paci-
nc, and on that side Japan's merchant
marine might also become available
for transport service.
The Pacific is free from submar.
ines. The haul from San Francisco
or Seattle to Vladiyostok is long. but
1t Is safe. The journey across Siberia
and Russia proper Is also tremendous
and the Russian railroad system Is
badly disorganized. Yet IL could be
restored TO a moderate degree of ef.
ficiency by American engineers. It
Is merely a question between a long.
slow, relatively inadequate but en-.
tirely safe route to one fighting front
and a shorter, faster but far more
coneested and more perllous route to
another. Since our new armies will
be modified ahead of our shipping
Iaciiltles In the Atlantic, there will
always be a surplus of man power
mere which could be sent to Europe
by the long, safe route. IL may be
FOUND expedient in a military way
10 dispatch across the Pacific the
armies recruited and Sxained in the
Far West instead of bringing them
TO the Atlantic seaboard and then
sending them to France.
An American expedition to Russia
would also probably bring about "A
