Germany has along had about all the supplies she could hand le. The pathetic tales of Ger man hunger and misery are a part of the shrewd german game to enlist the sympathy of Americans and cause a letting up of the strenuous program that we have set ourselves. The additional supplies will not go far toward a victory for the Teuton arms. Taken all in all whatever advantage Germany may derive from the conquer ed Russian provinces is being largely offset by the men and supplies this country is steadi- ly putting on the western front. Nothing would please Germany more than for Americans to go into a stew over the Russian collopse and imagine it has giv- en her great advantage. Ger many has carefully cultivated the delusion of her invincibility It is her greatest card and she plays it at every opportunity. But the allies have pretty we'll taken her measure and are making thorough preparation to meet her afirly and conquer her.
 The significance of the great Russian collapse is the pity of great nation gone wrong when such bright possibilities were before it.

Russian Collapse IS No Great Menace
 To U. 5. Allies

Those overfearful Americans who imagine the Russian col lapse will work to the detri- ment of the Allies would dc we'll to take a second thought and look at the situation more closely. Russia's plight is great ly to be Ideplored from the standpoint of freedom and democracy. It is, however, only what has been expected for some time. Every since the overthrow of the Kerensky government, the Allies have an- ticipated just such an outcome and have made ample provls- ions against it.
 It is mistake to think Ger many will be able greatly to re-enforce her armies on the western front with troops talk en from Russia. Germany has overrun a large scope of terri tory belonging to Russia, and this territory she now demands as included in the peace terms so abjectly accepted by the Bolsheviki government. But demanding territory and hold ing territory are two very diff ferent propositions. This ter ritory is peopled by many races and by people of many shades of political belief. At no time has the Bolsheviki government been in anything like entire control. There have always been disturbing elements, and the mere occupation of the ter ritory by Germany will not tend to harmonize these oppos- ing clements. Germany will be forced if she holds the con,
 
 qured territory, to keep large standing armies there. In fact, it is extremely doubtful, if she can reduce her armies on the eastern front to any extent, and only future events will dis close whether or not she will actually be compelled to aug ment them.
 It is, unfortunately, true that Germany's occupation of the Russian provinces has opened for her a new source of sup plies. This, however, is not ir itself a matter for great alarm

Special trains carry to these regions

shortage of foodstuffs is this dearth of

In Moscow and Petrograd pound of
bread costs from six to eight rubles, a
pound of sugar from Is to 80 rubles, a
pound of potatoes from rubles l20 to
l.50. He quoted kilograms received by
the Moscow committee from many com
munties saying they were famine strick-
en-, that riots were taking place, and
asking for food.
Shneyeroff attributes to famine in
large measure Germany's success in
throttling Russia The only regions in
which the Germans are resisted, he
pointed out, are those in which grain is
produced
General riots and extensive guerilla
warfare in Ukraine prove that famine is
the only circumstance that has given the
enemy free hand in the west, he said
1T is famine also which promotes an
archy in Russia as the suffering of the
people, seeing no issue and no efficient
help, attack each other like beasts. 1t is
Of vital interest to the allies to assist
Russia and such assistance is one of the
strongest menace to Germany.
There is no danger of grain and other

grain dispatched by the Moscow commit
tee is given only TO those who are starv.

Amsterdam, Aug. Is British Wireless
pressl Soviet troops have begun to
evaeuate Moscow. The gold reserves
which had been in the basement of the
Kremlin already have been removed to
an unknown place.
Dispatches received in London on Mon
day, reporting that Premier Lenine and
War Minister Trotzky had fled to the
naval base at Kronstadt, added that all
the government departments also would
be removed there. The flight of Lenine
and Trotzky was said to be due to the
threats by the social reyolutionists Of
the Left, that they were about to begin
reign OF terror there. Whether the So
Wet troops were forced to depart from
Moscow is not clean, but the loss of the
city to the Soviet government undoubt-

cause.

was made the Soviet capital in March
The Lenine government fled there from
Petrograd, toward which the German
troops were marching. 1t has been re-

Resent Petition for Temperance.

London, July 3l,-A memorial asking
for the promotion of temperance in Ok

signed by 73l persons, of whom 566 were
graduates of Oxford
In reply the authorities declined "to

fuence of the university has not been
used in favor of temperance. They
added that such insinuations are I'M

A Berry Patch Resort.

This is a true story Of events which
happened in the days before there was
any call for conservation There is all
the more need for making it come true
now
A family of fye-mother, father. two
boys and the baby decided to 20 some
where for an outing One morning about
5 they left the house with a car filed
with pals of all sorts and sizes, a wash
tub or two and the necessary camping
equipment. Father steered the old ma
chine toward blueberry patch which
was miles away, and before nightfall
they set up camp right in the middle of
the patch
If you have never done it you can't
imagine the JOY Of camping in the midst
Of blueberry patch When you close
your eyes at night, blueberries as large
as watermelons hang in giant punches
before your eyes. In the daytime YOU
feel like sixyear- old who has sudden
ly been made general manager Of can
dy store.
The family picked and picked Even
the baby sat on a blanket and filled tin
cup without moving from place to place
The family went home with the wash
tubs full Of berries in the back seat and
the boys riding on the running board.
This is good time in which to imi.
tate this thrifty family. No crop of Der.
ries is too large or too small to be neg
lected A dish Of fresh fruit for break
fast or a pint put up for winter is worth
while. If you haven't tIme to clean off
the few bushes in the pasture lot, let the
neighbor's children do it.
Camping parties are the best solutions
for taking care of the huge berry crops
which 60 to waste yearly in almost every
state. Instead Of taking 500.mile trip
to summer resort take it TO berry
patch. Blackberries, red raspberries,
blueberries and several other kinds are
abundant in many localities Search
them out and save them for winter.
