Russia Must Fight Again.

The Bolsheviki government having
refused peace on Germany's terms, it
is reported that the kaiser has direct
ed that military operations be re-
opened against Russia. Negotiations
had been proceeding between Petro-
grad and Berlin with the former I'M
der the impression that peace was to
be concluded without indemnities or
annexations. In the meantime Ger
many effected a separate peace with
the Ukraine, small strip of Russian
territory that had become SO wearied
by the war that it was willing to ac-
cept any sort of terms. These were
prepared by Germany and the Slav
people said they were satisfactory.
Premier Trotzky. the BoIsheviki for
eign minister, suddenly awoke to a re-
aiizadon that Germany was contem-
plating extensive nnexations In con-
Becti0n with peace arrangements, and
that these we're to be bad even though
II would be necessary to lake up the
sword again But Germany was SO
sure Of her ground that she began

Out of the Peoples Hands.

AS result Of yesterdays belateo
action by the governor upon recon-
mendation of the state board OF public
welfare, the lease of life of Will Car
ter, convicted burglar and murderer,
to have been executed in court house
square this morning, has been extend
ed a month-and perhaps indefinitely.
The case therefore passes from the
hands of the people Of Rock Island
county to the state board OF pardons
and possibly eventually into the con-
troll OF the courts again.
Into all these various channels
through which the course of justice
may flow from now on will go the re-
sponsibility for what may ultimately
happen to the case, and The Argus
has but to hope that, in the end, ample
Justification may be found for the
eleventh hour turn of events.
Meanwhile the people will patiently
abide the final disposition Of the case.

Captain Vernon Castle lost his
life in fall today on the aviation
field at Fort Worth, Texas. where he
was acting as an instructor for the
government Castle made a brilliant
record in the British service before
being brought TO this country to help
get the American flyers in shape for
duty across the seas. He had prev
iously been known as the husband and
dancing partner of Mrs. Vernon Castle.
He had won fame and fortune in that
field. and felt the call to something
with a more red-blooded touch TO it.
Hence he became an aviator, and he
was one OF the most daring of them all.

Junks Steam Roller.

Will H. Hays, the new chairman of
the Republican national committee.
says that the old steam roller is to
be sent to the scrap heap. Also 1912
is to be wiped out. One of the fir st
congratulatory kilograms that came to
Mr.. Hays was from Colonel Roosevelt.
1t said: Your election means more
to the country and the Republican
party than anything else at this time
could have meant" The colonel did
not say how much it meant to him
but you are likely wise
enough politically to read between the
lines what the colonel had on his
mind when he dictated the telegram
to the new chairman. 1t may be true
that the intention is to put the steam
roller out Of commission, but you MAJ
see the big stick brought into play as
a substitute in the event there is an
attempt made two years hence to
nominate some one other than the
colonel for the presidency. Thus far
it looks as il he would have every
thing his own way. The standpat
crowd is not wholly dead as yet, but
it is in its last gasps for life, and by
the time the holding of the ma
tional convention rolls around it is
predicted there will be only a scat
tering few of the old wheel horses
with sufficient strength left to be
heard above the din that will have
been organized for Roosevelt over the
nation. The colonel, you will find
will have the national committee so
completely and tightly organized in
his favor that it will be impossible
for rival aspirant for the nomina-
ton to break through with a jimmy.

Quick Work Counts.

1t took Paris court martial but Il
minutes to determine that Bolo Pasha
should die as spy He was an in
strument of German propaganda, one
OF the first to find exposure in the
French investigation of 1917, and his
name has come to be used as typify-
ing the entire system of "Boloism. ;"
by which Germany strove to break
down the French morale and instill a
desire for peace by spreading the idea
that Germany could not be beaten
Boloists are numerously operating in
the United States today. Some of
them have been captured and impris-
oned, but SO far as the public has been
made aware none has been put to
death for his crimes against the gov
eminent. The American government
may yet establish the wisdom OF its
theory in dealing leniently with those
detected in spy conspiracies, but the
majority Of the people are convinced
that there would be an immediate
slackening Of such activities if it were
announced that one Of the guilty ones
had been taken before a firing squad
and that the same fate would be the
lot Of all others discovered similarly
engaged.

Burr Called to Capital.

The announcement is made that Col.
George W. Burr has been called from
the command Of Rock Island arsenal
to a place in the Office of the chief of
ordnance at Washington, where he
will have larger responsibilities. Col.
Burr has been in charge of the Rock
Island government plant since 1911.
Though comparatively young in years,
the colonel has gained a wide grasp
of the details of the manufacturing
end of the war department. His abil-
tiles were demonstrated here even be-
fore the speeding process that follow
ed the break in the relations with Ger
many, but since the nation has been
driving every wheel to its maximum
capacity, and Rock Island arsenal has
become one Of the great military man
ufacturing establishments of the whole
country, the colonel has proved a Ca
pacity and fitness for his enlarged
tasks that has won him wider atten-
ton than he had before enjoyed, so
that it was known that it would be
only matter of time until he was
summoned closer to the fountain head
from which the ordnance work for the
entire country is directed. Colonel
Burr, while here, was not alone an
efficient officer of the government, but
in addition he is likeable and popu-
lar with all who know him. He
Is a favOrite in the tri-cities, and
since the war began and the people
came to appreciate more his value In
such an important government post,
he was rendered an ovation on every
public occasion in which he appeared.
Tri-city people do not like to see
Colonel Burr leave the community,
but as he must go they wish to congrat-
ulate both him and the government,
for both will benefit through the
change.
Lieutenant Colonel Norman E.
Ramsey, who has been stationed at
the arsenal foy some time familiariz-
ing himself with the work of the post,
has been designated as successor of
Colonel Burr.

Questions and Answers.
Infectious Period Of Scarlatfna-We
are having a very mild form of scarla-
tina in our town, not SO severe as real
scarlet fever, the doctor tells me
Please explain how long a child with
scarlatina can still give the disease
and whether it can be carried in the
clothing. MRS, d. &c.
Answer-Scarlet fever, scarlet rash
and scarlatina are only different
names for the same disease. Your
physician probably tried to explain
that the epidemic was less severe.th than
scarlet fever is in some epidemics
The germ of scarlet fever has not yet
been discovered, so that our knowl-
edge of the period of infectivity is
based only upon observation in prac-
tice: Probably the infectious period
does not last more than two weeks,
though 80 days isolation is the Gus
tom in most communities. Any cloth
ing which may possibly have been
contaminated with secretions from
nose or throat or other discharges may
convey the disease. Hence all such
articles should be boiled or otherwise
disinfected when removed from the
sickroom.
Wide Open All Night. Will you
kindly give formula for chapped
hands? 2. In the daytime l have no
difficulty breathing through my nose,
but often awake at night and find
my mouth wide open. What can I do
for this? NJ. M.
Answer-1. Mix a teaspoonful of
tragacanth, three of boric acid and
six of glycerin in pint OF water. Boil,
stirring frequently until dissolved.
Apply to hands two or three times a
day after washing and before the
hands are quite dry. 2. Probably a
few treatments by your doctor for
rhinitis are needed.
Barber Surgeons-Does the hair
really grow inward and cause the
pustule? My barber says that is the
explanation. How can these ingrow-
ing hairs be safely extracted? s. T.
Answer-No. That IL one OF the
many superstitions of BARRIERS. Do
not attempt to extract the hair unless
under the advice of a physicianA Never
permit barber to dig for 'inerow-
ing hairs"-you take your life In your
hands, or rather he takes 1t In his
hands. for that kind Of foolishness has
