NEW OFFENSIVE
VS.. GERM ANY

The press has persistently re-
ported that the Bolsheviki have
been influenced by German gold
to stop fighting on the East front.
Active military operations have in
deed ceased; but, the Bolsheviki
are now running million dol
lar printing plant, translating the
American Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and, from their own air
planes, are dropping this docu-
ment, in the form of leaflets, in
side the German lines in order to
arouse the German people to revo-
luton.
That this style of tactics has
already borne fruit is shown by
the recent reports Of mutiny and
revolt in Germany, and particular
ly in Austria. II may yet be
proven that the pen is mightier
than the sword.

SPIRITED DEBATE ON
WAR

Continued From Page One)
changed the issue to Democracy.
Intimated that criticism at this
time was giving encouragement
to the enemy and giving aid and
comfort TO the enemy was trea-
son. They answered facts and
logic by flag waving talk and dis
loyalty bunk, doing their best to
discrcdit- Comrade Salter and
stampede the audience. 1t was
so raw and msnifestly unfair that
their own crowd was Disguised.
A reliable man who was in the
crowd informs us that they would
not have made such n cowardly
attack on Salter unless they had
intended to start trouble. The
fact that Clay reported to the
press that they had several dep
uty sheriffs present lends support
to this contention. But, the cool
ness of Comrade Salter prevented
an outbreak.
Comrade Mrs. Saltsr took a
hand, by asking the speakers some
pointed questions. She asked AIR.
Clay if McAdoo was right when
he said that if Big Business were
taxed 80 per cent as in Eng
land they would lose interest in
the war and would cease its pros
ecution. He said Eyes" She
asked why they didn't enter the
war at the time Belgium was in
vaded, but the speaker could not
answer Nor could they answer
a number of other questions. In
fact, they were just about backed
off the boards.

FROM THE BOTTOM UP

Russia is to build democratic
republic from the bottom up.
News dispatches inform us that
the All-Russian Congress Of So
viets is the real law makers OF
Russia today. This congress il
composed of delegates from ev-
cry district of Russia and is com
posed of men and women elected
from workmen's societies, soldiers
regiments, farmers unions and
cooperative societies. The peo-
pie themselves, through on intri-
cate network Of city and provin-
cial Soviets and the machinery of
the twelve million co-operators,
are seeking 10 solve Russia's prob
lens and are not very much con-
cerned as 10 who actually rules
in Petrograd. The people, ne
cording to these dispatches, will
accept Petrograd's DEGREES and
orders when they fit local needs.
Otherwise they will not be ac-
ceptcd Thus Russia is building
from the bottom up.

REPUTATION OF DEBTS

According to Pravda, the news
paper organ of the Bolsheviki,
Russia will repudiate her foreign,
internal land bank and railroad
loans. Business men that we have
talked with about the matter say
that she will not dare to repudi-
ate her debts because she would
then lose her credit abroad. Ii
would be a good thing for Russia
(and for all other nations as weld
TO lose her credit abroad She
viii then go on a cash basis.
That is now recognized as the best
and most efficient and scientific
way Of doing business. The amount
that Russia is paying as interest
on her various loans about equal
her domestic governmental ex-
penses. In case of reputation,
this great sum can be used at
homes and credit abroad will not
be necessary.

PATRIOTS AFTER
SCHOOL TEACHER

Charles r. Carr, who is teach
ing at the consolidated school at
South Bay, is charged with having
made seditious and disloyal ut
terances. Council Of Defense"
patriots have made charges against
him to the state superintendent
for the purpose Of having his
teaching certificate revoked. Citi-
zens and children particularly,
must not hear both sides of this
war question. They must hear
only one side, and from that must
form an intelligent opinion.

Maybe the patriots are afraid
that their side of the argument
is so thin that it can be seen thru
even by children when the other
side is presented.

TO the Public

Owing to the large quantities of
mail incident to war regulations in
addition to the regular mail being
handled, the Postoffice Department
has advised postmasters to suggest
to firms, corporations and individu-
ais who do a heavy mailing to adopt
the practice of depositing their mail
at the postoffice more frequently
and earlier in the day to avoid con-
gestion and possible delay of i'm
portant mail.
1t is very important that mail
should not be held until the time for
dispatching, as the time is short to
cancel, route and tie up in packages
all the mail for one train at once.
The public is respectfully invited
to cooperate with the postal system
and mail frequently and early.

All MeatIess Days Except
Tuesday Are Abolished

The United States Food Admin
stration f r Wisconsin announces
that all meatless days and
meatless meals except Tuesday,
have been abolished until fur
Their notice.
The manner in which Pierce Coun-
ty is responding to the rule in re-
gard to purchasing substitutes with
wheat flour, and in regard to the
rule that no family is to have on
hand more than thirty days supply
of flour, is very gratifying. Many
persons who habitually buy flour in
large quantities with no intention of
boarding have reported the amount
of flour on hand and have returned
the excess supply to the store from
which it was purchased.
During the last week, a number
of the retail merchants who were
very short of substitutes have in
creased t h Ell supplies, and con-
ditions along that line are improving.

what she could. She was US ful
In the home circle facts present an
honorable measure of success. Her
CHEEKY smile, kindly words, thou ght-
full ministrations were factors in a
home strong in its unity and adorn-
ed by its hospitality.
In quality and quantity her use
fulness was large in the community.
Interested in all measures for the
good of the local life as we'll as for
the larger public, her efforts were
for temperance, peace and every
other worthy cause. No COMMITTEE
was ever needed to see where she
stood or to enlist her efforts in any
reform movement.
1t was, however, in the circle of
the Christian church that she found
the most attractive field and gave
the best in time and talent. Pas

found her most useful. Missionary
work was her delight. The Chris
tian Endeavor work was her life,

If one were to seek a single SEN
tence for suggesting in largest
measure the secret of this life sc
suddenly and to human sight pre-
maturely ended ON earth, his search
would lead him to the good Old
Book for the best, ''She hath done
what she could"
If service is the key to life and
true living, then the life of Hattie
Flint was 'farben" in efforts to-
ward that end. A. Student in
Arms" has a vision Of the great war
ended and the citizen army again at
home. He wonders if the men will
remember the lessons learned. If
SO, there will be better England
for the children. Strife of classes
will cease, pride of riches will pass
and men will be priced for what
they are, for courage, honesty,
charity and practical ability. What
is this more than saying that in
some way and in larger way the
best things in life will survive and
come into true and proper relations
with Him who was all these and
more nineteen centuries ago? And
in each generation are those who
catch the vision and become pioneers
of that coming better day. The
subject Of this appreciation was one
such. Her service was of that pc
culiar kind called Christian. She
was Christian and lived the Chris
tian life. Her highest usefulness
rests On that fact. Just to be a
Christian and to live the Christian
life is the highest service to any
age by any individual.
A friend said of Hattie Flint,
Hers was a useful life" What
