Playing the Man.

No matter what part he mdy be
playing in the strenuous game of life
rs it is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
Lest that is in US must be given to
carry on" anu the race run with
syeadfastness and manly purpose.
As Robert L. Stevenson SO beautifully
puts it: whether we regard life as 4
me leading to u dead wall--a mere
lag's end, us the French say-or
whether we think of it us n Vosibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
nd prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny: whether we thun-
der in n pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into n bath chair as n step to-
wards the hearse; in each and all of
lhcse views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that II man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that is
set before him with single mind"

STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
PEOPLE Of Different Parts Of the Earth
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods, such as potato -four,
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other UNUSUAL things, have
come into use during The war and their
adoption serves to remind us that much
good food material is neglected in or
dinary use. Only n few people eat
snails; most of us would starVe amidst
plenty Of locusts; and the thought Of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But unusual food. once become IA
miliar, is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered Appropriateness. Cap
tain Bartlett. who carried Stefansson
TO the arctic water. found raw polar
bear flesh more appeuzing than any
thing he had eaten at home.
Trenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Limburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans eat lizards and mares milk
is a favorite Russian beverage, Truly.
there is no accounting for tastes."-

double the size it was in 1910 Wash
ingtOn prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. l take considerable pride
in the growth of Washington. for 1
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase in the population
of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, presume, is .he busiest
city In the world, but Norfolk is al
most next.
Hampton Roads is filed with ships.
Batteships are passing in and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-

"Eusiness is booming in Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filed to
overdowing just as they are in Wash
ingtou. New business blocks are go

the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. Iyenture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will

BILLIONS For DEFENSE.

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo will offer for subscription
every two weeks between now and
the opening OF the next liberty loan
treasury certificates OF Indebtedness
in amounts Of S5000O0,OO0 or more.
If all the banks of the country do
their share, and it is contemplated
that they will, $3,0000OO,000 Of the
certificates will be taken by them
between now and the fotation OF
the next liberty loan.
The raising of $5OO0OO0OO every
two weeks seems tremendous
task, yet in relation to the banking
resources OF the United States it
seems easy OF accomplishment.
The resources Of the national
banks Of the United States on Nov.
% last were more than eighteen
and a half billion dollars and the
resources Of state banks and trust
companies on June 20, 1917, were
practically twcnty-one billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made The
three billion expected by the secre-
tary of the treasury is less than 10
per cent of the banking resources
of the nation,

LIGHT IN THE EAST.

Tulsa World: The announce
ment that Japan has long been pre-
pairing for taking hand in the Rus
sian situation will be welcome
news for all who have been sympa-
thizing with the woes of the former
ears subjects. 1t is quite evident
that a few men, raised on the shoul-
ders OF the mob to a place OF pow
er without any qualifications for
the task and without any hope for
the ultimate success of their unique
IDEAS, have so muddled the affairs
OF this once great nation that it is
in the throes of disintegration and
on the brink of being swallowed by
her powerful neighbor, 4 neighbor
whose ambition brooks no consid-
Grafton OF racial right or of mercy
to a subJcgated people.
We question very much if the
prevailing powers in Russia vel
come this interference from the
Orient. The bolsheviki see IN it
their finish if it is allowed to take
place. Yet they, perhaps, are un-
able to prevent it. At any rate, the
friends of Russia may yet find a
savior in their old enemy on the
Pacific. If they are saved from the
folly OF Trotzky and Lenine, they
must be saved against their will.
1t was not SO many years ago
that the kaiser startled the whole
OF Europe with his great cartoon
of The Yellow Peril picturing
the Turks, Chinese, Hindoos and
Japanese united with one purpose
to dominate the earth and dispos-
scss the sons of Japheth from their
place Of power. 1t will be great
sarcasm Of history if these same
yellow people shall at this critical
time come forward to battle his
most cunningly laid plans to do
just what in principle he expected
the yellow men to try. But ii ia
pan, at this late date as a member
OF the alliance, comes to the front
as a stunning blow to Teuton i'm
perialism, we can afford to take the
risk of any yellow menace and say
bully for Japan.

SOLDIER AND SAILOR
INSURANCE.

Every American soldier or sailor
lost on the orpcdocd transport
Tuscania was protected by the
United States government insur-
ance and government compensa-
ton. This has been officially an
nounced by Secretary McAdoo.
Those who had not applied for
insurance were covered by the au-
tomato insurance under the law
which is payable to a wife, child or
widowed mother This automatic
insurance aggregates $500, netting
SIS month for 240 months.
OF those who had applied for
and obtained insurance many had
taken out the maximum amount Of
$4,000 netting $3.50 a month for
240 months.
There have been various causes
for delay in forwarding checks to
the dependents of soldiers and
sailors.
The distance OF many of the ap-
licants from Washington and the
mail congestion prcNdlllng more or
less all over the country have
caused delay both in the receipt of
the applications by the treasury and
the receipt of the checks by the
benehiciaries.
Another cause is that of the
checks sent out-l0,000-could not
be delivered because the dependents
to whom the checks were payable
had moved, leaving no forwarding
addresses or the addresses original
ly given were incomplete or erro-
neous or so illegibly written that
they could not be properly deciph-
cred.
Nearly half a million checks were
mailed out in January and all pos

found that the stro-Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs was see

there has been a precipitate in
crease OF peace talk. First it was
in the news that the president was
making a terrific peace offensive
against the kaiser. Then it was in
the editorials. Everywhere the
paciists emerged from their timid-
ity and added their clamor to the
discussion. A conglomerate section
of the American bolsheviki held a
convention in New York and de-
clared that only bankers wished a
military victory over Germany, that
the war did not matter any more
and that the presidents next step
would be to call draw on the basis
of the status quo ante.

YOUNG MAN, COME FOR
WARD!

Muskogee Times-D c emocrat
Didn't we advise you, sometime
ago, to keep your eye on Ensign
Krylenko, the bolsheyik command
er-in-chief, Statesmen and poll
ticians, like Trotzky and Lcnine,
always have their day, in reyolu-
tions, but there always comes a
time when the fellow in charge Of
the powder and flour comes to the
surface.
Above the whining, excusing and
pitiful proclaiming OF the Petro-
grad administration, rises the roar
of krylenko, whose head, bread
and butter are invested in war as a
business and to whom peace would
be professional ruin. If you meet
German soldiers, says Krylenko to
his army, persuade them to refrain
from warning on you, but ii they
wont, fight EN- to a finish The
shrewd fellow well knows what the
German soldiers won't refrain from.
We believe that we shall have to
call Ensign Krylenko the Napol-
con of all the Russias." Why not?
The Great Bonaparte started as an
insignificant artillery officer. He
found civil war and war from
abroad on his hands, but, in almost
no time, licked France into shape
by firing powder instead OF pour
parlers at 'em.
Attention, some more, to Krylcn-
ko! lie seems to be one Russian
who is unwilling to lie down and
be trodden on, as a habit.
