WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE?

Every trade has it's troubles and the small newspaper publisher i; no exception. We were told short time ago that the federal trade con- mission had fixed the price of news print. A sigh of relief e~cared us, we thought we were at last free f. on the octopus that had been grad ually stranglinc us. But evidently, this was not a lasting relief, as immediately after employ es of the biz mills demanded higher wages. This made an increase on the paper a necessity i'll or der to meet the increased costs of production. This leap-frog game has been going on for years now with the same result-strapgulatio This same affair applies to all trades We have reached a point where it is wages jumping over the prices and then prices jumping over wages. If no remedy can be found to stop this monkey business it will shortly divert attention from the horrors of war over there to the horrors of war over here.
 Plans have been under consideration at Washington to fix maximum wage for all trades to meet {. fixed high-living cost. Such a plan might work as it would possibly eliminate the leap-frog of jump in wages to meet the in- crease cost Of living, and vice versa. Anyhow. Q plan that will abolish this and yet maintain the policy of 3 fair days pay for fair day $ work will be welcomed.

how easy it is all done. Just stroke of the pen and you cannot tell your neighbor the time he can catch the boat to go and see his dying mother or father. We wonder why all the prohibiters at Washington don't get together and issue a blanket of prohibition that will cover the Kasers actions, and end the war. When we consider that all these rules of prohibition that harass the people could be avoided by the rounding up of the pros, q feeling of impatience comes over us that is hard to Yepress. And it wouldn't be repressed only for prohibition. Conclusively, stomachache is the only thing on the list of privileges one can enjoy unhampered by prohibition.

NO LIMITS THERE.

4 wave of prohibition must have surely struck official Washington for 8 string of pro- hibitions seem to be spreading from that one point to every part of the country, and possibly the North Pole. Nowadays, everything is regu- lated by orders of prohibition. The only thing thus far not prohibited is the stomaclaches the resultant or effect of eating war bread. Aside from that everything is regulated by proh- btion, That official penchant seems to have sprung up from the time the suffragettes were prohibited from picketing the entrance to the White House. From that day to this, prohibition has had no rest. The latest being the prohibition to sending the home newspapers to the boys in Uncle San1's service.
 It beats all how some officials can carry out the absurd. Surely if any class of citizens, or servants of the people are deserving of favors, the soldiers are. Yet that doggone londness for prohibition gets in the way somehow, and the boys are deprived of news from nome And

TWO KINDS OF ALIENS.

We have two kinds of aliens in our midst. We have enemy aliens and we have native aliens. The American who does not do his part toward winning the war, who neither fights nor works nor lends for victory, is as much an alien to the country's purposes as the rankest Prussian in- termed in the country The war is the peoples wal as well as the nations war, and each indivi- dual has place and a duty which should not be neglected, provided always we want our country to win.

PARIS RED CROSS
WORKERS HELPING

PARIS, March 2e.-Simultaneously
with the German attack, all Red Cross
workers In Paris were mobiliZed for
emergency aid to refugees from the
battle zone.
While caminos (motor trucks) fill-
ed with food and clothing were rushed
northwRrd, others were sent to the
Paris railway stations to handle the
situation there.
Working IN close cooperation with
the French authorities, American
camionneurs (drivers) and many
women met the trains, transporting
refugees from station to station or to
local shelters.
Touching scenes were witnessed at
the stations. The refugees. mostly so
old as to be practically helpless, were
Immediately given food. In some cases.
II the trains were late, beds were
made for them in the stations.
The Red Cross also collected great
stores of medical. surgical and hos
pital supplies, which were put at the
disposition of the French authorities.

MRS. WH|TEHOUSE
QUITS PROPAGANDA.
MISSION IN BERNE

Mrs. Norman de r. whitehouse, who
went abroad q little more than two
months ago as chief propaganda agent
OF the Committee on Public Informa-
tion. with headquarters at Berne,
Switzerland, has quit her job there,
says a Washington dispatch to the
New York World.
Leaving Berne a few days ago, she
had intended to return to America
Immediately, but she has. been pre-
vailed upon to stop in Paris. where
she is continuing a certain type Of
work in connection with the commit
tees propaganda
But she is entirely out of the Berne
proposition, which was to have been
a vast plan for putting out the Mes
cage OF America to the Neutrals,"
and especially to the Central Empires.
Whether she will be succeeded at
Berne by some one else, or whether
the work will be handled elsewhere.
has not yet been determined. In leav-
ing the Swiss capital she took with
her most of her equipment, and, Il is
understood, left behind her none OF
the clerks and agents she had en-
plcyed.
Friends of Mrs. whitehouse, in an
swer to a suggestion that her mission
abroad was not attended by signal
success. say she was hampered in her
efforts through failure to gain hearty
cooperation from the State Depart
nent. On the other hand, 1t is known
both Secretary Lansing and Coun-
selOr Polk requested that she re-
,eive all possible assistance and di-
'ected that the ministry In Berne CO.
operate with her as far as possible.

BROWN|NG'S VERSE
MAKES TEN STRIKE
WITH MEN IN CAMP

Soldiers Ike poetry-strange as that
may seem.
But they want poetry with punch"
and pep" &
Recently one collection found special
favor with them. and It Is 100 to 1
shot that the average reader could not
guess which poet 1t was who attained
this popularity
No. not Robert Service. nor Rudyard
Kipllng. but Robert Browning.
Perhaps Browning had an unfair ad-
vantage, because the Boston Browning
Society prepared q small thlrty-page COL
lection OF passages from his works. es-
pecially applicable TO the war, and its
personal problems. and II was this vol
ume which Y. VI. c. A. workers In camps
have found hits the men between the
eyes"
Probably many Browning students did
not know that Browning was a good
propagandist for the war OF democracy.
But there are In this collection passages
like these:
II foresee and I announce
Necessity OF warfare In one case,
For one cause; one way. I bid broach
the blood
o. the world For truth and right. and
only right
And truth.
Then there are passages like this.
which are quoted frequently by men in
uniform:
Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough.
Each sting that bids nor sits nor stand,
but Eo!'
And again:

spirit feels waste.
Not a muscle is stopped In Its playing |
nor sinev unbraced."
