Siberia and Japan.

What's the question as to Eastern Siberia?
Simply that, if that ally of the allies, Japan,
doesn't jump in and take charge, Germany WILL
The welfare of Russia is to be considered, GER
tainly. The Russians cannot protect themselves.
Great Britain France Italy and America have
their hands full of other business. There's only
Japan left to save Siberia from Germany. To say
that Japan shall not do it, is to say that the
wel-known German policy is good for Russia.
When We get ready to admit this last we might
as well set fire to our vision of worldwide de-
mocrscy. .-.
1t is likely that, having saved Siberia, Japan
would ask much. But, if this ends in Ger
manys defeat, this world is going to be very
largely an allied world. No one country is going
to do all it wants to, to another country. An
alliance that has licked Germany is going to be
treated with the utmost respect by every indi-
vidual nation.
- Peace means disarmament, or an alliance whose
chief concern will be lasting peace.
Simplhed the Siberian issue is as to whether
Germany shall shall not take, for war purposes
in the West. scores OF millions OF dollars worth
of munitions piled up in Siberia, most of it bought
with allied and United States money.
Why should Won Hindenburg hurry with his
promised great offensive? It's the other fellow
who has the chance to starVe, and Won may get
great additional strength from Russia if they let
him. A month ago, it up to Germany to
long-delayed triumphs A lot of Russian plums
have rpened since then. And the allies hesitate
about letting Won Hindenburg shake the tree!

The cables from France bring word that is
extremely gratifying.
\ Our army is reaching there in force-soon it
will be able to take over and hold Ioo-me
sector We do not think of this as an achieve
'ment, but merely as substantial pledge of what
is to come. When Secretary of War Baker told
Congress he hoped to have 10000 Americans on
the front early in 1918" he not talking in
Sain. His hopes are within of being
reazed that much we can read between the
lines.
The presence OF Mr. Baker himself in France
comes at a time which must be regarded as a
turning point in the American military history of
the war. The ascending curve of our troop move
ments is going to show a sharp incline from this
time forward. The shipping problem is not solved
yet by any means, is the submarine within
leash doubtless due yet for many disap-
pointments and "miscarriages of plan" But we
are going to have a sizeable army in the field by
midsummer; and when September arrives, our
tremendous effort in ship construction at least
will begin to bear fruit From that time forward
vessels will emerge from American yards at
rate that will even lead Henry Ford and his
"vvcrs" merry pace-at rate which will as
tonish the world. That, at least is the prospect
that the optimists see and they are willing to
wait few months before pressing for a

q II by January, 1919, we hold a section of the
Western front longer than the British held two
years after the atCful August, 1914, the American
people will have achievement to boast about
but doubtless by that time they will be so alb
sorbcd in the immediate military problems of tbs
they will have forgotten all about their ancient

You say you can't be cheerful. but
you can!
Just take a glance at yonder toiling
man,
That Carpenter who uses we'll the tool
That makes him Master of his special
school.
He couldn't use the chiseI and the
saw,
The hammer, and the jackplane and
the claw,
Until through constant failure he be-
came
A Master in the uses of the same.
So is it with this task of cheerfulness
In moments full of worry and dis

But some day if we only practice it
Well find 1t growing easier until
We handle cheer with all a Master's S

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY HORSE

A sad accident happened at the Moody ranch on Ash creek in Yava- pal county, when Rupert, 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. w. A. Moody, was dragged to death by horse. The lit tie fellow took rope and went out in the field to catch gentle work horse when the other horses in the field ran past him, causing the horse he was leading to make leap and rush af- ter them. The child was struck on the chin by one of the horses, which caused him to clutch the rope with a death grip, and he was dragged some distance Two men who were working near rushed to his rescue, but he was unconscious and died within six hours.

Last and least are those fatuous fools --the nut-sundae socialists from the ranks of the self-tyled "intellectuals" and the well-to-do lemon-pop Bolshe- wiki uplifters-preaching something, they don't quite know what, and urg- ing anything, they don't care what, so it keeps the spotlight on them. They are self-sacrifcing idealists to the last dollar of the other fellows business, but hard as nails in their own affairs.

Never mind what he calls himself republican, democrat, socialist or non- partisan leaguer-the label is camou- flage. We need brains, honesty and Americanism this year.
