New dance music BY band

they are highly diversified in character.
Another Victor Record contains two
waltz numbers exceptionally grateful TO

The Russian Problem

The danger threatening the future peace of
the world by reason of German dominance in
Russia is becoming increasingly apparent as the
full extent of this menace is developing.
A recent editorial of the New York Times ex-
pressing fear that the Allies will be too late in
counteracting German propaganda and design in
Russia has attracted general attention all over
the United States and focused discussion on this
vital question.
The advance Of the German against the Allies
between Rheims and Scissors in an effort to d.
vide the British and French armies, cut the north
and south railroads, and gain the channel parts,
is made possible by the sad reversal which the
Russian armies suffered when they listened to
the idle promises of the Bolshevki and permitted
themselves to enter into peace negotiations with
the enemy.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Using All Men of Draft Age

The decision of Provost Marshal General
Crowder to use 100000 men of draft age, who
because of minor physical defects have been held
for limited military service, will receive the sup
port of American patriots. These men will be
employed in producing or handling equipment for
the army. Their induction in the service will
release fighting men now engaged in this work.
No one questions the advisability of the move
Every able-bodied man is needed in the fighting
units. Germanys menace cannot be overcome
by withholding our fighters. Many man, who
has been held for limited service will be glad to
do his bit by serving in a capacity that will re-
lease a strong man for fighting purposes.
AS the war goes into months, the need of new
men will become more pressing and the services
of men in deferred cassfications and in the linn
tied service class will be called on.
