\ What must be, must be. So long as the coun-
try knows that it is necessity Of war, it will
bow to the inevitable and manage assbest itscan1

While this order apparently does not mean that
consumers are necessarily to be limited to half
their requirements for the season, which would
mean that most of them would have to close their
homes in the middle Of the winter, it; does mean
that supplies will be limited to the barest necessi-
ties, and that the most anybody can hope, to get
will not pull him through the winter without the
most rigid economy. / :. III .s

THE ALLIES IN RUSSIA

It has been suggested that a huge allied army
be sent into Russia to restore order and line up
the Russian people against their natural enemies,
the Teuton and Turk Along with this goes the
plan to put Japanese army on the east front
with Russian troops to attack the Germans on
that side.
war up to her neck Japanese soldiers were kept
out of Russian trenches. Whether this was due
to Russian objection or Japanese reluctance, time
alone will tell. 3@s
Now, however, conditions are different. Rus
STA is no longer fighting the Hun and is showing
Q rapidly increasing disposition to start family
fights. The Russians who tired Of the war with
Germany seem willing to do considerable fighting
at home between themselves. And the Russians
are good fighters when they want to fight and
are properly armed and fed
= The question then arises, who will the Russians
fight if allied troops enter their country? Will
they be like the quarreling family, pleasantly &C.
cnpied in fighting each other until some outsider
undertakes to smooth out their family quarrel?
You# remember how industriously the family
pitched onto the peacemaker?
There are other questions which come to mind:
Does Germany hope to draw American troops
to Russia instead Of France in 1919?
Does the kaiser hope to split the allied fight
ipg strength on the west front and make it pos
sibls for him to break through in next years
drives to Paris and the channel ports? ss
Will the Russians forget their own differences
and see in allied intervention dream of Jap
anese conquest?
To- what extent will the kaiser benefit if sew
eral hundred thousand American, British and
French soldiers are used in bringing order out of
Russian chaos?
sn allied intervention does unite the Russian
peoples: will It unite them against the allies and

life without her baby wasn't worth living and so
she set out to find Julia. ~ $50

followed a war Of mothers for the affections Of
julia Mrs. Borkman began series. of gifts,
and the: foster mother, to meet the. advances of
the real mother, countered with music lessons.

else she could think Of and which Julia's little
heart craved. Any gift from Julia's own mother
wass followed by q gift from her foster mother.
Julia lived upon the summit Of childhood happi-
ness "a . # & i=s.' M s
Also, Julia was becoming spoiled" And 50 her
foster parents took the problem to 9 Chicago

should keep her, and for Julia's welfare he Or
