A German View.

This is alleged to be the text OF secret memo
randum sent by the German chancellor to the Aus
trian government and published by the Leipzig
Eofkszeitung:
"We cannot beat Russia, because we are not in
position to penetrate right into the heart of her
empire; but weaken her sensibly by detach-
ing her frontier terrtories-the Baltic provinces
Thanks to skilful policy the latter will be easily
Germanized. They will be peopled with Germans;
their population will be doubled. That is why
they must be annexed.
b. "We desire the independence OF the Ukraine
and that the Uukraine should, if possible, receive
a frontier which is easy to defend against the Rus
slams"
If this is an official statement OF the scope OF
German policy in Russia and of its limitations, then
the Allies already have absorbed most of the shock
of the shift in the Eastern front. The Germaniza-
ton of the Baltic provinces is not fact of di-
rect and immediate interest in the war, far as
be this distance. Germany would not
begin to reap the fruits OF such penetration until
the coming OF peace unless these provinces able
TO relieve her food and supply stringency. I'm
doubtedly her OF foodstocks will be aug
mented by the territories brought under her
CONTROL but that is the only apparent advantage
she has gained by her invasion of Russia unless she
expects to these provinces for trading purposes

French Hospitality.

How many Americans know that an organiza-
ton called the French Home" has been established
in Paris, for the purpose of making the American
among friends?
The French have been quick to appreciate the
trying lot of "over there" Tommy Atkins
can go back to Blghty" when leave-he
spend few precious days with his folks every now
and then. The Poilu has only to step out of the
trenches and find his family, perhaps only few
miles away from him. but the American is sepa-
rated from all that is near and dear to him by the
Atlantic; he is, literally, stranger in a strange
land, among people whose ways are very different
from his, and who know little of his special needs
Under these conditions the suggestion of the
French that he be taken into their homes whenever
possible is nothing less than an inspiration. Our
will jump at the opportunity to exchange the
barracks for a glimpse of French family life and of
hospitality such only the French know how to
give.
This work is being undertaken very quietly and
tsctully, and the French themselves are doing the
work OF inviting soldiers in their days Of re-
spite from duty the front to the intimacy of their
home life Nothing will do more to cement a gen
nine friendship between the American soldiers
abroad and the French people. nothing will have
more enduring effect upon the relations between

When Casey Died.

Representative Nenabe's story OF Casey who
died because a trip-hammer fell on him, and of
whom Mike said "hc always had weak chest" re-
minds me Of another Casey who died and whose
death was the subject of comment by a crowd in
Pat O'Bricn's saloon" said Representative Thomas
of Kentucky.
This Casey was known as a tight-wad, and
when he died his friends fought hard to find some
thing pleasant to say OF him. Said

condition under which We will really
accomplish things against the Kai-
ser, rather than against our own
bumps of self-satisfaction.
For days We have heard. from the
right and from the left. that 2JOUUO
men Of the country had been en-
rolled in the shipbuilding reserve
ready for service in the shipyards
OF the country.
But the men are not now there
The material is not there for the men
to work with. And when the men
arrive there. and when the material
gets there. 1t will still take con-
siderable time before the men and
the material can be brought to-
gether and efiicient work can result
from the contact.
We wish things were different We
wish We could paint a glowing tale
in this column. We wish we could
tell America that all is we'll. and
that ships were going into the water
much faster than we coud use them
But we cannot. We can only tell
the truth as it appears to us. We
want America to know the truth and
we want the truth 10 make Amer
lea free
We say more than Mark SulIivan's
Wake Up" We say Get Cp and

We're not fooling the Kaiser by the
present course. We're only fooling
ourselves. And we're not hurting
him. We're only hurting ourselves.
Then, for Gods sake. why not tell
the truth?

Reliable Russian Report.

Even the Bolshcvik censor permits Petrograd
correspondent to put this through:
Russia is making history every day"
Some reliable reports filter out OF Russia Russia
is not only rapidly making history but she's going
keep at it for time, for the reason that she
is going to be time in finding" herself
One OF the discoveries made when Nicholas quit
was that Russia wasn't Russian, but largely con-
glomeration of different peoples varying in lam
guage, customs ideals and conditions, and many of
them desirous of independence of Russia Mere
capacity for selfgovernment of Russians as Russia
was a serious and dubious question.
Within a short time such important parts as
Finland, Siberia, Polish Russia and the Ukraine
have split off, and it is doubtful whether Russia can
ever regain them by a war especially for that
purpose. Surely the birth of half dozen indie
pendent countries is making history rapidly.
Within four months Russia proper-that is, part
Of her conceded to be her de facto government
has witnessed the passing of three of her four
eading spirits Kerensky has been followed by
Krylenko and Trotzky. Lenine is alone left and
ie's so pro-German that he cannot last long As
he day of the Russian statesman passeth there
fises, over in the Far East, the star of fighter
Cen. Semenof has a strong force of Cossacks
which is hourly being augmented, and he is after

without which any government at Petrograd cannot
ong survive. Semenoff is likely to make some more

We must enter a mild protest against any in
sidious attempt to popularize undertaken. We
grant you that he is necessary, and we can quite
understand that his services may be rendered with
tact and due regard for the feelings of the be-
reaved-but we are inclined to the belief that to
have him ride on a popularity wave might lead to
disastrous results.
Don't let us make dying any easier than it Is
by raising any question of popularity among en-
balmers. There is danger, too, in that under
takers and embalmers may start a popularity con-
test with prizes of automobiles to winners of the

THE HIGH LIVER,

THE HIGH LIVER.
High living. SO the Sages say.
Makes the high liver old and gray
Before his time OF age hath run.
But that depends. It seems to me,
Upon the kind and quality
OF the high living he hath done.
Through living high that runs to food
On which the Epicure doth brood,
Things made a palate keen TO hold.
With hectic nights in feasung passed,
No touch OF Youth could hope to last,
No more. indeed, than s0landered
gold.
But he who in his mind lives high,
Who lifts his spirit to the sky
Unhinoered by his earthly cage.
Who feeds his soul on lofty things.
Despite the years have speedy wings
Stays young no matter what his
age!
