President Wilson completed his pro-
nouncement of plans for the participa-
ton of the United States in the Rus
sian expedition and was awaiting only
the reply of Japan to the American
proposals. 1t had been thought Japan
had agreed to these, but dispatches
from Tokyo told of an exciting contrO-
versy over them, two influential groups
strongly opposing Intervention. Mos
COW advices said general mobilization
Of the Russian army-meaning the
bolsheviki-had begun, but this did
not worry the allied statesmen. The
plans of the British Americans and
French for the protection of the Muir
man region against the Germans and
Firms are believed to be all settled.
The people will be fed and their in
ternal affairs will not be interfered
with by the expedition that will be
sent.
General Horvath, provisional ruler
Of Siberia, is cooperating with the
CzechO-SlOvaks, and matters look
more promising in that country.
Conditions in the Ukraine grow more
unsettled daily, and now the Germans
and Austrians are called on to face
a great uprising in Roumania, where
the people are disguised with the peace
with the central powers and with the
treatment they are receiving. PrOba-
bly, half a million Teutonic troops are
tied up in these two countries, which
helps some.

The Atlantic seaboard was amazed
rather than alarmed by the sudden ap-
pearanee of a large German submarine
close to Cape Cod. The vessel at
tackled tug and sank the three stone
laden barges it was towing, using up
two torpedOes and lot of ammunition
in this footless operation. Other o.
boats bagged bigger game when they
sank the British transport Justicia,
80, 234 gross tons, off the Irish coast.
The transport which was westward
bound after carrying 10000 American
soldiers to Europe, was attacked by
fleet Of six or eight submarines and
fought them for ten hours. OF her
crew of some 600 only ten were killed.

The British government having

permeated all the war material fac

Paris and London are loud In their
praise of the quality and behavior of
the Americans in the Aisne-Marne bat
tie, and the newspapers there relate
many instances of their bravery, cool
ness and determination. They are adj
mittedly as fine troops as ever were
seen, and even the least experienced
of them have no idea of anything but
winning every fight they go into.
Their craftsmanship, both with the
rifle and with larger weapons, is re-
maIkable; their doggedness is tenn
pered with an unquenchable humor,
and their stamina is such that at times
bodies of them fought for many hours
without food or drink, declining to
halt their advance to let the commits
Sary catch up with them. These
splendid troops, with their gallant and
competent officers, have done their full
part in stopping the German offensive
and converting it into an allied often
sive, and if they are now called on to
stop and await the arrival of more of
their COuntrymen, America should rest
satisfied. patient and proud. The
American casualty lists will be longer
and longer each day for a time, but
the bereaved ones may well take eX-
ample by the proud, unweeping grief
with which Colonel Roosevelt received
the news of the death of his gallant
son, Quentin.

In Flanders the British carried out
an important operation that resulted
in the capture of Meteren. They have
been devoting themselves to preparing
for the new offensive which, according
TO the logic of the situation, Luden-
dOrff must undertake and which, ac-
eording to military experts, probably
will be directed against some part of
the line held by the British. Such an
offensive would be largely to influence
public opinion in Germany and direct

Marine.
General Foch has not had to call
into action the bulk of his reserves.
In the midst of the biggest battle he
found time to order swift and fierce
attack by the French along the Avre,
In the Montdidier sector. The PEST
tons aimed at were feebly held by
tired troops that did not expect an
attack, and the detectives were gained
within few hours, large numbers of
prisoners being taken.

Rome received the information from
some source that the Austrians were
preparing a triple offensive against
Italy. This, according to the story, is
to consist of a great land attack on the
Piave river line, a naval attack on
Italy's Adriatic coast and an extensive
counterattack In Albania The Ital-
ian commanders have no doubt of their
ability to repulse any or all of these
attacks. In Albania their forces,
with the French, have kept moving for
ward and are now in very strong pO-
sitiOns. The threat of a serious naval
operation by Austria seems most fool
ish of all.

Money Instead of Merchandise
should be sent to Soldiers.

The original order that the approval
of a regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages might
be sent to members of the expeditionary
forces has been modified so officers
with the rank of major and higher may
approve shipments. The approval of a
company commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of par
GELS to France first came to the atten-
ton of the War Department when the
commanding general of the expedition
airy forces cabled that congestion of
such packages had reached such a point
that the railroads were unable to han
die them and board appointed by the
Secretary of War and the Postmaster
General examined 5000 sacks OF parcel
post mail, and found that the articles
being sent not only, in the main, were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesirable.
The investigation showed that the
amount of such mail had reached a
total of 500, 900 pound week, and was
steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according to q
recent statement by the War Depart
ment, will find they often can do a
greater service to soldiers by sending
them money for the purchase of articles
in France than by forwarding the
articles. Tobacco is now being supplied
as part of the Army rations, and mer
chandise of nearly all kinds may now
be purch ased in France through thu
huge general store established by the
Quartermaster Corps at lower price
than charged by retailers here. i.

County Administrators and the County
press from Baltimore City, is baset
each week upon the wholesale pric s
charged in Baltimore City and thu
prices accepted by the retail dealers OF
Baltimore City as showing fair mar

to County stores, the fact should be
kept in mind that the County dealer
who purchases supplies from Baltimore
CITY must add to the price which is
charged in Baltimore a transportation
cost, in many instances, to his place OF
business, including freight and, il
some non-railroad or wharf points,
truck or team transportation. Where
these differences exist, they must be
recognized in the retail price, and tbs
dealer allowed to add this cost to the
