HUN IRONY.

There is subtle irony, if not indeed, grim tragedy, in the German dictated terms of peace to the Bolsheviki Imagine the Hun, stamped with the seal of autocracy, war mad, ravisher of Belgium, permitting the people voice in their fateI Imagine the kaiser, dictator of Russian degradation, lowing to the will of subjected peasantsl
 And yet the third clause of the treaty provides that the region west o line agreed upon have no further obligation to Russia, and Germany and Austria will determine their fate in agreement with their population
 Is 1t easy to suppose that these people will readily agree to the rough-lined yoke of kaiserism? Will they welcome with open arms the military serfdom offered by the Prussian? What will be their voice in determining their fate? Germany and Austria will issue to the world their joint statement that in agreement with their population Germany and Austria have divided the territory, the bulk of rich spoil going to Germnay.
 Hun irony, and grim tragedy for the provinces affected! But in the irony and tragedy is renewed again the lesson to the world of Teuton brutality. it can but serve to strengthen the allies will to win that they may free others through the guarantee of their own freedom.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

Two elements in the Russian empire will welcome the intervention of Japan in Si- beria for the protection from Germany and German agents of food supplies ard war stores at Vladivostok-the peasant class, who form eighty-five per cent of the popu- lation, and the Cossasks, the military of the country. Both elements are opposed to the capitulating, disgraceful peace pact forced on the bountry by Hun and Bolshe- wiki Each is waking to the fact that the hollow teachings of Trotzky and Lenine have brought on anarchistic autocracy in- stead of the democracy of which each had dreamed And they are tireing of subjuga- ton to the Teuton.
 Russia will remain potent factor in the war. through these peoples. Russia will never bow to the will of the kaiser and his hirelings, because of these peoples. Rus sia will regain its lost prestige. rebuild its demoralized discouraged, anarchized army with new blood from the fields, renew its fight on the side of democracy, and rise from the conflict a new, free country, But time will be necessary for this reconstruc- ton. Leaders must be found Men to bring together the Don Cossacks, the peasants, the artisans and the laborers for a common cause, must arise.
 Meantime, Russia-not the Bolsheviki Russia, but the great mass-will look kind ly and thankfully on any steps the allies may take to protect them further from the Hun. Russia, the great mass, will prevent the turning of the country against England and France and Italy and the United States; will oppose any alliance of arms with the central powers; will welcome protection on the east as heartily as on the west, and will remain steadfast in its determination to emerge from the conflict freed of the yoke of kaiserism.

A BOY AND AMERICANISM.

What the United States needs Is more citizens like the four-year-old son of Sheriff A. Slaughter of Greenlee county. With them this country would be an unpleasant path for the German sympathizer, the leu ton spy. And, with them there would be less criticism, less pessimism and more con- structive, active work toward victory. The story of this four-year-old is a master piece of Americanism and patriotic spirit.
 The sheriff's little son spends much of his time about his fathers office in Cliff ton. With his questions and his overflow of activity he frequently hinders the work CTS and at such times, one or another of sev- eral methods is used to rid the office of his wriggling, bouncing, noisy personality.
 The four-year-old had been more than usually active one afternoon. His father picked him up, opened the door to the jail and placed him down on the inside.
 What are you locking me up for?" the four-year-old inquired
 You're a bootlegger," said the sheriff. father
 The youngster turned his attention to four men, prisoners with him. Three of them he asked separately why they were in iail. Each gave joking, laughing answer. Finally the four-year-old turned to the fourth with the same question. The man was an alien enemy. detained for the gov ernment.
 I'm a German spy" he told the four year-old.
 The boy studied the man for moment before he replied. Then looking him squarely in the eyes, he shouted
 You damned scoundrel, you ought to be hung"
 The sheriff didn't reprove the four-year- old for the language he had used instead he convened court in his office. tried and acquitted the boy. gave him the military metal-a big bag of candy.

THAT TOUCH OF SPRING.

Perhaps you have not felt 1t yet-that touch of spring. It Is just a trifle too early for the laziness of spring fever, for the iinger-longing to seek the hills and forests and pearly brooks. The backbone of winter is not sufficiently broken to bring to you the call of the great outdoors
 But you must have noted that spring is near. Boys have gotten out thei. marbles and are flirting with tonsilitis as they crawl about the still damp earth stalking their taws' against anothers ''twoeys" On the back lot, and at the side of the hilltop school house, recesses ring with the call of the improvised baseball diamond where games of work-up are in progress. After school hours kite is seen here and there as 1t swings freely into the March breeze Hoops dragged from under the house or out of the barn, ring as they bound over the rocks. Your boy and the neighbor's boy build coaster and quarrel as to who shall guide her" down the steepest hill in the district.
 You cannot but have noted these signs of spring. We all note them, casually, un- consciously, subconsciously, sometimes. And noting them, we look back to the time when we clambered aboard rickety coast CT made painstakingly from the wheels of discarded baby carriage. and rattled racingly down hill-when we risked our best marbles against the other 'feIler's' "dobies when we clamored for batter or "pitcher" or catcher"
 We are human-most of us-and that is why we wish sometimes we could return to those days. The years have been long since we played at knucks down" in the gutter. We have plodded hard trail. working, striving, fighting aginst adds. We have won success to acertain degree We have been repaid for our efforts since we graduated from the kite and marble age

OUR DEBT TO OURSELVES.

While we are straining our purses. our brains and our muscles for the furtherance of an allied victory at arms, while we are directing our attention chiefly 70 the gov ernment's needs, we owe to ourselves still the obligation of remaining abreast of the times, of mixing with our work little pleasure and of maintaining our educa- tional, moral and spiritual lives. Al work and no play makes John a dull boy, was never so true as during the strenuous days of this era.
 The arrival in the Warren Distinct, April 30 to May 6. of the annual chau,5.,rqua, will offer this opportunity of mixing 2 little more of the uplifting pleasure with our work Because the war Is on. is no reason we should not enjoy educational advan- tages Divide, if necessary. the weekly allotment for war savings stamps, to enjoy the best of the chautauqua offerings. Uncle Sam will never begrudge you the small sum necessary to make you better, more useful, more thoughtful citizen.

Greater matters have come into our lives to take the place of what were then factors of highest moment. We look back on child hood joys with fond memory which we would fain have erased But we cannot help giving thanks that the men who are to take our place will have some day memories of vanished joys; that they are enjoying now all those halcyon days which for us can never come again.
