Russian wood will save the
German forests. II will do more

tighten. the work OF the men who
are furnishing wood. To be
sure, there are still very serious
difficulties Of transportation, and
they will continue until the end
Of the fighting. Yet even noM
the wood OF northern Russia and
Siberia win relieve the strain.
The German authorities are ndt
longer worried on this score.
They know that when they need
ii theyscan find unlimited wood
ready to their hands.
There is gain to them not only
in this freedom from anxiety, not
only in the saving of their own
beloved forests, not only in the 4
, possibility OF using wood more
freely, but also In the release of
man power. Sturdy Russian
peasants will cut the wood, car.
ing little who governs them pro-
vided their local 'zemstovos"
and village assemblies still
seem to do their old work.
And meanwhile the men who
now are cutting wood In German
forests will be doing something

GOOD ADVICE

There are about six or eight Iowa
editors who should read, consider and
consider again, says the Sac City Bull
letin, the following paragraph from
Barney Bruce Rolfe Arrow, one of
the good Republican newspapers OF
the State:
"We're for Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident of our country and commander
in-chief Of our army and navy. Nc
partisan appeal will turn us from him
He's on the job and we must win OF
lose with him. He's an American,
and that beats either Democrat or a
Republican. If there is anything a
weak-minded, weakened lover Of
the good old U. S. A. can do to helr
out, we're at his command. UP with
the Star Spangled Banner and to he'll
with Wilson's critics, until after the
war, at least"
