more responsible than any other man for Russia's present predicameu'
 The p. eaent times in Russia call for a man who will talk of advancing instead of falling back.
 Conditions in Russia are much like they were in France when Danton called a nation to arms against the in vaders. The burning words of Danton made an army spring from the ground, Carnot organized the fighters, and they went forth onto the battlefields of Europe and defeated every foe they met for a score of years.
 France was as disorganized as Rus sia when she turned and showed her fangs, drove the invading armies out of her territories, and began that march that carried French armies into every capital of continental Europe.
 Russia could do the same. But where is her bold Danton?

CONSERVATION IN ALASKA

Ordinarily one thinks of the United States food conservation program as limited to the forty-eight states. But that this is not the case may be dis covered by glance at what Alaska and the Hawaiian Island are doing in this regard.
 In Honolulu, where bananas are one of the principal crops, the native bak- cries are making a "war bread" con taining 50 per cent of banana pulp flour. The movement was begun un- der the auspices of a branch of the Nation defense society. Homes and business houses are asked to buy at least oe bunch of bananas each week to be used in this manner. The aver age bunch of bananas costs anywhere from fifty cents to one dollar, and weighs about one hundred pounds
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-20

The use of this kind of war bread serves a twofoId purpose. In the first
 place wheat is saved; and, in the second place, bananas are used which otherwise would have routed on, tba
 wharyes for lack of transportation
 In Alaska the food conservation movement is as rigidly observed as in any one of the states The natives declare that, inasmuch as the United States has given them free schools and many other privileges, they are more than willing to repay their debt by economizing in food as much as nos.
 sible. All the school children hate signed the food pledges; the hotels and public eating houses have joined .the United States food adminisfra-
 tion, and the less days are ob- served in exactly the same manner as
 they are in that part of the United States south of Canada.
 Thus, the United States is roaming
 the benefit of the good government begun in it's outlying possessions years ago. And, incidentally, the natives of Hawaii and Alaska are shaming by
 their performances many inhabitants of the states who are supporting the
 Hoover program more by lip service than by genuine effort-Dallas, Texas. Morning News.

A WAY TO SAVE TONNAGE

American troops are being carried te France as fast as possible on all avail. able transports.
 The amount of food stuffs being sent from this nation to Europe is re- stricted only 6y he scarcity of bot. toms. The United States must largely feed the allies.
 Why would it not be a good plan to have every transport that goes to France return here filled with wound ed allied soldiers, German prisoners of war and orphans and other helpless elements in the French and Belgian 
 We must feed these people. Instead of sending the food across to them, it would save time and ships to bring them to the food The transports then could return to the United States with capacity loads.
 German prisoners could be made to do much necessary work in this coun- try. The wounded could be repaired and brought back to health. The or phans could be sustained and perhaps many thousands of them could be adopted in this country.

RUSSIA NEEDS A DAYTON

The Russian people seem not to be as spiritless as the Bolshevih had presunTed. Popular anger at the ac- tion of the Lenine government in sign ing away large stretches of Russian territory as pay for peace with Ger many has become so widespread that the Bolsheviki are likely to refuse to live up to their agreement with the kaiser.
 4 military committee has been ap' pointed in Russia, every man has been ordered to arm, and Petrograd is be. ing evacuated.
 We will fall back even as far as the Ural mountains in order to circum vent the Germans" says Trotsky

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has not yet set tied on the amount of interest that the third liberty loan will bear. It is said that he is considering again rais- ing the rate to make the third loan bear Az per cent The first loan was placed at 31h per cent, the second at per cent, and there may be another half per cent raise for the third loan
 Should the rate be fixed at Az per cent bonds of the first two loans will be convertible into third loan bonds bearing the higher interest rate. The government could not afford to pay lower rate of interest to those who bought bonds early and periodically than to those who waited for the third loan.
 There is arising some opposition to Increasing the interest percentage on the third loan. There is only one way for the government to sell the bonds quickly and easily. They must be an attractive form of investment and their interest rate must be high enough to draw money. There have been many thousands who purchased Riberty bonds through patriotism, but !. has been demonstrated that the people will not take up loan of sev- >oraI billions for that reason alone. That is the condition no matter how Douch we would wish it to be other wise
 No one need worry about an addi- tion being made to the interest rate. The taxpayers of the country are buy ing the bonds, and the taxpayers of the country will pay the interest on the bonds, and taxpayers include every person, for none fail to pay direct or indirect taxes.
 AS we see it, the only man who will lose by an increase in the interest on the loan is the man who does not buy a bond and who pays the interest on another mans bond

WE WILL MAKE GERMANS SEE

Millions of copies of the addresses of President Wilson ana Premier Lloyd George have been printed in the German language, and every possible means of distribution is being used to get the booklets into the hands of the common people of Germany.
 This may or may not pay; at least it is worth trying.
 The German people one day will see the light but that day will come only after they have been swatted so hard across the head by allied arms that they will begin to think. It is as diff ficult to break down decades of milf tarism as it is to take the Christian religion to the pagans. The one has been largely mplished-some- times, 1t is true, with a gun. The other can and will be-and American guns to help shoot decency and com mon sense into the Germans, must not be permitted to get cold while the President breaches the gospel or oem- ocracy for all.
