PROGRESS OF THE WAR

Much more now seems to hinge on
the attitude of Russia, than it did IL few
weeks ago. There is no Russia. as we
have known that wide stretch from the
Baltic to the Pacific 1t is broken in
to warning, revolutionary sections, one
having been dignified with a separate
peace pact with Austria and Germany.
And the attitude of the anarchiStic
BOlSheviki has made it impossible for
the German forces to leave the from
tiers unguarded and to remove the ac-
tive fighting army TO the Western front
What will ultimately occur in Rus
STA no one has the temerity to prOpheSy
1t took almost hundred years for
France to settle into a peaceful, stable
government after the blood and crime
of the revolution and the horrors fol-
lowing Napoleon. 1t will take equally
as long. it would seem, for race of
people only as far removed from half
savagery- and barbarism as the Amer
lean negro, to find itself And in the
meantime Germany will have the men-
ace of the Russian uncertainty always
TO confront SO long as the war lasts.
The peace made with the Ukraine, is no
peace at all. Even as we write the
Bolsheviki army has defeated the
Ukranian rebels at Kiev, bombarded

POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS

Secretary William G. McAdoo. the
ablest man of the cabinet, frankly a
Southern Democrat. was before the
senate finance committee defending
the provision of the war finance cor
poration bill, giving the secretary of
the treasury power to appoint MEM
bers He was frank in his statement
that political appointments certainly
would result. The NewsBudget has
had frequent cause TO draw attention
to the oft re-interated plea OF the
administration hat Republicans
should sink partisanship in support of
the president and his policies, only to
be confronted with the same admins
tration refusing to call to its aid OF APP
point Republicans. In its egotism and
power-drunkenness, there is only one
side and that is the Democratic admin
istration side. Let us summon Mr.. Nc
AdOo as Il witness to this, as shown in
the published statement of his appear
ance before the senate committee: :
I'VE might as well be frank
about this. Secretary McAdoo said.
IF it is known that the president
is to make these appointments,
senator's and others will bring
political pressure to bear on him to
appoint men from their states as
directors Of the corporation. APP
pointment by the president and
confirmation by the senate always
have tendency to result in polit
ical appointments.
1T would make no difference to
the Republicans, retorted Senator
Galiinger of New Hampshire. I'VE
wouldn't get anybody appointed,
anyhow
20. / don't know about that
answered Secretary McAdoo. I'VE
have appointed a lot of Republi
cans to office.

swered Gallinger.

derlip of New York, 'SO-called'
Republican. would your" the secre-
tary of the treasury asked.

went on Mr.. McAdoO.
Probably through necessity
the Republican leader answered
And we have appointed Chair
man Wilcox of the Republican ma
tional committee TO a'place," said
Mr.. McAdoO.
You probably did that out of
gratitude" interjected Senator
Townsend of Michigan.
This brought general laugh,
the senator's Inference that Will
cox was responsible for the Re
publican defeat i'll 1916 evidently
tickling the senators.

The Call of Tennessee

The Observer has a letter from
Tennessee. telling of green grass and
flowers commencing to bloom. Hence
this homesick pome.
| know place where flowers bloom
upon the rugged mountain side,
The dogwoods decked in waxen white
and violets their colors hide:
Where modest Beauties of the Spring,
and shrinking white anemone
Seek retreat from springtime winds,
beneath some ancient oaken tree;
Where arbutus perfumes linger behind
the rocky, moss grown ledge,
And jonquills and the daffodils
all martialled therea golden
hedge.
Crimson and gold the roses are
on haZy hills of Tennessee
Each outlaw flower, low or high,
waving reckoning, calls for me.
Here ice and cold and drifting snow
there all in green the widespread
lawn:
i hear thy call, @, Tennessee:
Thou has my inmost soul in pawn.
To Secretary Doyle of the Chamber
Of Commerce. is referred a letter re-
-ceived by the Observer form Chicago !:
Il am clerk and have grown tired OF
the life i'll flat. Can | get some land
in wisconsin? My wife and / are very
fond of grape nuts; how is the soil
there for this product? DO grape nuts
thrive? An early answer will oblige.'
On second thought this letter ought to
be transferred to the Mayor who is
familiar with such things being in the
Eggless business.

Grant Johnson Shows the Fasteners Trick with Cue; Witnessed
 by AIaskans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-(Special to Empire "A party of Alaskans, in. cmding George B. Grigsby, Earl Shaw, formerly of Nome, Fairbanks and elsewhere in Alaska, now con nected with the income tax branch of the Treasury Department, and John w. Troy, went over to Balti- more and witnessed a victory of a former Juneau resident By the way, Shaw is a son of the former Secre- tary of the Treasury, Leslie D. Shaw. The following is the account of the billiard game published in the east ern papers:
 BALTIMORE, Feb. 7.-The lead of 34 points with which State Champion Ferd H. Linhard entered upon the final block of the intercity 1S.2 balk line match between Baltimore and night at Johnny Kleins when w. Grant Johnson, formerly of Juneau the crack Capital City billiardist amassed a total of 200 points while the Maryland leader was running 118 To the Capital City, therefore, goes the crown.
 Johnsons play was exceptionally brilliant, and he proved himself to be far the best player on both teams. His high run of 42 was made in the 25th inning, and his average was 15-37 The final score for the 4 game series stands at 71S to 670 in Washington's favor
 William M. Undich, the other mem Der of the Baltimore team, took the short end of 200 to 169 count when he was pitted against Johnson, but in the other match in which he if gured Unduch defeated Markham, the teammate of Johnson, 200 to 11S. Linhard was conceded an excellent chance to defeat Markham when they met in the third block, but the Wash ingtonian surprised the wiseacres by obtaining a 200 to 1S3 victory.

The speeches made on "Democra- cy," at the Coliseum by Judge Rob- ert w. Jennings last night, and at the Palace by J. J. Mullen made a deep impression on the two aud fences.
 Tears were in many eyes when Judge Jennings concluded, drawing a picture of what German militar- ism meant, if successful.
 MT. Mullen gave a forceful and clear word picture of the ambitions firing the German people to consider themselves as conquerors of the world.
 District Attorney Smiser appeared It the Dream theatre and his "4- minute speech" was pointed and very effectively rendered.
 Prolonged applause followed the conclusion of each speech.

LATE CABLE NEWS

WASHINGTON: According to re- liable information the number Of raiders at work in the barred zone early of the winter varied from 12 to IS. It was then expected, however, that the Ger mans, largely as a threat to Ameri- can troop transports, might by this time endeavor to increase the maxi mum to perhaps 30 boats. Esti- mates did not include the smaller "egg planters" or mine-laying sub marines. None of the supposed 500O0-ton "submersibfe cruisers" has yet been definitely identified.
 WASHINGTON; One reason for extraordinary precautions taken by government officials in examination of the Holland-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam, which arrived in New York harbor Thursday, was re- port of plot to bring in from Ger many poisonous pollen. or fungus, or some other plant life or chemi- cal, meant to cause damage to Amer ican wheat and grain crops.
