Anti-German Sentiment
Growing in Russian Cities;

London, April 26-It is reported
here that Leon Trotzky, the bolsheyik
minister of war and marine has gone
to Murmansk, northern Finland, to ar
range for an effort by the Russian
forces there to resist the German at
tempt to push northward. Good feei-
ing between the entente allies and the
Russians is reported to be increasing
in Petrograd and Moscow. In this lat
ter respect it is said that the senti-
ment of a majority of the population
has undergone a.radical change in the
last five or six weeks. The general
feeling six weeks ago was distinctly
anti-ally and many places openly were
pro- German. Today sentiment is said
to be violently anti-German and the
attitude toward the allies is declared
to vary from suspicion of the Japan
ese to a friendly attitude toward the
French and English and the warnlest
friendliness toward the United States.

When Mrs. Hen says to her lord
and master, another little drink

no use for him to argue the point.
She is backed by authority.
The professor Of agriculture at
Fontainebleau has been making
discovery about eggs.
He took a dozen hens and gave
six of them a little wine each day
and kept the other six enforced
teetotalers. Stimulant triumphed
over prohibition and the teetotallers
were beaten to fragile! They laid
only 27 eggs as compared with the
wine bibbers' 1870, and the latter
were much superior in quality.
1t is a dangerous discovery to
have made in these days of strikes,
especially with winter coming. Now
that women are getting their rights
everywhere Cor most everywhere),
it is quite conceivable that all hens
will go on strike and refuse to lay
eggs unless they get their beer
