"The women of our state and

in the winning of the war, and
right nobly have they respond
ed to all the calls that have
been made upon them. They
held a wonderful conference
recently in Lansing in prepara-
tion for their coming registra-
tion for service. Hundreds of
women from all over the state
were in attendance and the in
terest and enthusiasm man
ifested must have been a re-
velation to the promoters of
the conference.
Taking lesson from the ex-
perience of our allies in the
war. the Federal Government
and the Michigan War Prepar-
edness board have given their
endorsement and assistance to
the registration of women for
war service, to be taken by the
Woman's Committee michigan
Division) Council of National
Defense. nm
Therefore, /, Albert E.
Sleeper, governor of the state
of Michigan, do hereby desig-
nate and set aside Saturday
April 81, 1918, as the date on
which registration in Michigan
shall begin; and call upon all
loyal women in, this state of
sixteen years of age and over,
to go to the places designated
in their several communities,
and there to register for the
services they are able to render
to their country, or for special
training to meet the need of
war;"

as everyone knows you can help Nature

true of colds. Chamberlain's Cough

tion, allays the cough and aids Nature

PAYING WAR TAXES.

Business men are becoming alarmed by the con-
sequences which they fear will result from the col
lection Of the heavy war revenue taxes in one lump.
on June Is. They arc afraid that the payment Of the
vast sums involved will MAKE serious inroads on the
nations working capital, with disaster to the countr-
industrially, commercially and financially.
Permission has been given for partial payments 10
be made before the final date. But unfortunately. in
most cases it is not feasible to take advantage Of IT,
The year thus far has not been particularly favorable
for most classes Of business. Manufacturers and corn
merce have been hampered by the hard winter. the
lack Of fuel. the transportation blockade and other
evils following in their train. They are beginning y
recover. but they insist that they still need all the
self preservation; it's necessary, they say. if they are
to fulhH the nations expectations and provide adequate
facilities for the big expansion and increased produc-
ton that the government requires for war purposes.
And there's the new Liberty loan coming before June.
It will undoubtedly be hard for many business firms
to meet those payments in fun the middle Of June.
It will be hard for the banks to provide the great
amount Of cash required. And If, by a supreme effort
the obligation is met, it is likely to leave the country's
private financial resources crippled for a considerable
time afterward.
The request that the treasury department permit the
payment Of these var taxes in instalIments running
through several months seems fair and sensible. Z;
would help business in general, and would apparently
impose no burden on the government. The funds are
not all needed for public purposes in June. Why not
arrange 10 collect them only as fast as they are really
needed?

ENLISTING HELP FOR THE FARMERS.

of County Agent Bordner that there is to be a great

promised on the part Of Chairman Page Of the Cham

MARCH II, 1913.
"THE RUSSIAN COLLAPSE"

That Germany is biting off more than she may be
able TO chew. and something which, il she swallows
It, may lay heavily in her autocraic stomach, seems
TO be the opinion Of Frank "A. simonds, the first Of
whose war editorials prepared for The News-Times
and allied newspapers, appeared Sunday. Mr. SimonGs
seems to be entertaining something of the view recent
~ voiced by Prest Wilson H. his address to congress
and the central that a last
ing peace calls for international boundaries that sep
arate languages and races. setting each aside within
particular embraces; this rather than arbitrary
boundaries that render some races and certain Ian
guages subject and others dominant, the strong barter
ing and trading the weaker on and of, as il in literal
slavery.
Mr.. simonds, however. while strongly doubling the
ability Of Germany 70 manage Russia-the Ukrain-
ians. the Lithuanians. and especially the PoIes,-ex-
poets little help from Russia for the allies, except in
a negative way. Germany viii have enough on her
hands TO the east to engage her at considerable guess
ing. lie makes the point, rather new to the most Of
us also, than when Germany absorbs Russia she
aienates Austria-H ungarY. 1t has been the slavs Of
Russia. with ambitions against Austria supported D.
the sympathies of the savs of Austria, that have here
tofore rendered it e,pedient for the Austrians to
maintain common cause with Germany, this for their
mutual protection. he hints at. though he does not
expressly prophesy. a breaking up Of the triple al
lance as the result of Germany's aggressions in
Russia.
There seems to be no doubt in Mr.. simons mind
but that the car, or someone of the Romanons win
be placed back on the Russian throne. soon as the
Germans take Petrograd. He does not. however. be
ueve that anyone viii be able to hold such throne for
any considerable time. Russia has tasted liberty. and
she has tasted, though with some bitterness, the sue
cess Of revolution. He accordingly sees little but
turmoil for that country for some years to come, with
a final settlement along race and language lines. The
editogial is indeed. meat for the thoughtful, and any
who tailed to read it in their sunday paper, should
cave If { 2 not o1ready bestowed and read IL "a their
leisure. The purpose Of the series, scheduled 10 con-
unue during the war, is 10 enable News-Times read
ers to follow the great conflict in it's meaning as well

A Brothers Example.
Ii must be remarked here that
the eldest brother of the Princess
Marie Of Hohenlohe, the one who
ought in due course TO succeed TO
the modest fortune of her father,
Prince Conrad, was before the war
vice consul at San Francisco and
married a lovely American, Miss
Katherine BrittOn of Washington.
1t is most probably his example hat

TO brave the prejudices existing n
her caste and helped her 10 affirm
her independence in sacrificing the
privileges Of her birth to her desire
Of securing her future happiness.
Vienna is perhaps the town where,
when such things happen, they are
more commented upon, and more
generally condemned, than any
where else in the world. The Aus
trian ~aristOcTacy is not tolerant II

laid down for the benefit Of its
members, and the men and women
bold enough to brave these laws

those cases where women are con-
cerned, because when men come
into question, the dowry which the
wife they have selected brings 70
them has something 10 say in the
way in which the latter find them
selves treated.
But when il is girls who escape
the thraldom OF their cast, they sink
into oblivion, and disappear abso-
lutely from the enchanted circles to
which they formerly belonged,
which sometimes is hard upon them.
especially when il entails complete
separation from their relatives and
friends. II is likely tina. the future

however, hope that the many
changes which are sure to take
place in consequence Of the war.
will sweep away the prejudices ex-
listing up 10 now. and that even the
naughty Austrian aristocracy will
come. in time, to realize that people
must be left alone to find their
happiness there where they think
they are most likely TO do so. apart
from considerations of birth, which
are every day losing more and more
