LOOK UPON WILSON
As MODERN MOSES

Paris Dec, 2s.--While awaiting a
definite declaration from President
Wilson regarding hts peace program,
each French party attempted to draw
comfort from the utferances OF a gen
erai character which constitute his
declarations made thus far. Never
was the Scripture more strained into
support OF the different dogmata than
president Wilson's supposed attitude
concerning the various issues.
An example OF this is the way the
question OF Intervention in Russia is
being discussed here. Gustave Herve,
who favcrs military expedition to
crush the Bolshcvfki. writes:
Only one hope remains. namely
Wilson. who would not refuse aiding
the young Russian democracy which
needs his help against the Bolshe-
Wiki
On the same day the editor of
Populaire, the extVeme Socialist or
gan. which opposes interference in
Russia. writes. after taking credit for
the allies changes Of plans:
Happily we had with US certain
principles with which 1t Ia danysrous
to Jungle. I have often said that VIII
sons fourteen points gave US a pow
erful arsenal Of arguments. but now
proof has been furnished
A humortst In LIE Journal writes
Some notice that Wilson looks
clear-cnt. decisive and authoritative
These are cornforted and conclude that
we shall get the left bank OF the
Rhine
Others find Wilson looks tender,
dreamy and melancholy. These pro-
claim confidently that beyond doubt
this man will not be Quiet until ne
has given ~ a league Of nations, 4 hu.
man republic, fraternal and purely
civilian.
Among the anenishing enigmas
Europeans Is this Wilson
chin. Is It too pacific or does it IA :
vpr reprtsals? 10 his nose turned
right Or left? did he smile more at
the patriotic league or AT the labor
federation? Does the color OF his
necktie give clue to the future peace
treaty? Moses himself. when de-
from Sinai. was not more

SUGAR SHORTAGE
MAKES ECONOMY
A VITAL ISSUE

"The rationing of sugar for manu-
featuring purposes will continue. 30
far as we can see. throughout the
war;" declared ]. N. Bundick, chair
man of the Food Administration Su-
gar division for Colorado" and 1t Is
absolutely necessary that all manufac-
turers using sugar for the less essen
tial food products. practice the strict
est economy during the coming
months"
The sugar situation in the United
States is lar from encouraging, accord
ing to officials, owing to lowering OF
the sugar beet acreage in this coun-
try, and the lack Of transportation IA
cilities by which sugar could be
brought from Cuba and the Islands.
Present Indications are that the
1919 sugar allowance will be consider
ably lower than that OF 1918, and we
would most strongly advise sugar US
ers to go as easy on their present sup
plies as possible" this from Chairman
Bundick.

Keen Mind on Work.

One must make up ones mind to
.orego the casual word which leads to
idle conversation, the most deadly Of
time destroyers. One must FIX the
mind on the work in hand. seek to for
get that there is anyone else in the
world, or any other task that must be
done. And only practice can make
this possible. But, once gained, con-
centration will be found to be the most
valuable asset that any young woman
can possibly bring to any kind Of work
to which she sets her hand and mind.
