DRUNK

So Writes U. S. Lieutenant
to North Dakotan-Tells
of Conditions.

Lisbon. N. d., Feb. 1s.-Russia is
drunk with freedom, according to
Lieutenant Herbert Il. Webster. writ

Japan, and who left early last fall for
Russia with q party of railway Of

izc the equipment II management Of
the Trans-Sibcrian railway system.
Everyone does just as he pleases,"
says Lieutenant Webster. ''Of curse.
it is Il mutual state of affairs, and it
would be singular if it were other
wise. The working class has assumed
the reigns Of government and it seems
to raj to be leader. The natural
result is that industry has stopped and
the state of diSorganization is dcplor-
able.
Soldiers Name Own Officers.
THE soldiers told their officers that
they could step out m they then
elected or appointed officers from
among themselves, resulting in a
woeful lack of discipline and Il con-
slant dissension among themselves.
The currency is very much depreci-
ated and there is no good silver in
evidence. The normal value of a
ruble is 81 cents and now II a en-
change an American dollar for some
over sixteen rublos."
Lieutenant Webster says trains are
not running and no nows reaches
Russia from the front and that Ger
man influence is everywhere evil
denccd and seems next to impossible
to expect any real change for the bet
ter for q term of years. He say he
cannot see how the contingent or
dercd to Russia will be able to do the
work for which it was organized al
though the members still entertain a
hope for the better.
Japan's Busiest Port.
This is the busiest seaport in
Japan and it is astonishing the
amount of shipping which touches
here. Tnere arc large ship building
yards and foundrics and the place is
also the principal coaling port in
Japan. There are no coa1ing docks.
All cargoes come alongside in lighters.
Coal is put aboard from same in

of over 6 a minute. 1t is astonishing
with what deXterity the baskets arc

the empty baskets back and another
gang shovels them full. One gang

there are six to eight lighters along

Market Interesting Place.
1.-The market here is an interesting
place to visit, especially the fish a
ket. Besides a large variety Of in
teresting fish there are enormous
quantities of whale meat for sale.
The meat looks like beef. but it is very
coarse grained. The belly GEMS to be
the choice portion and the outside
rugations and is milk white. The
meat is dark red and the blubber is
about the color of fat pork. Imagine
if you can a whale steak two feet
square. Have not tried it yet, but
may when provisions give out on the
Thomas. We have seen large num-
bers of whales since our arrival in
the colder waters, and one in par
ticular spouted around the harbor of
Vladivostok all the time we were
there. 1t would come 20 the top and
raise its head out of the water and
sometimes half its length and then
drop back with Il splash.

clear, concise thinking of the prob
lens which confront us-by overconl-
ing evil with good.
DIR. Gallagher said in part:

tablish the Kingdom of Coz OH Earth,
He discovered that lip loyalty and
heart loyalty were two vastly different
things. He found hat He must have
the hearts of men. who was on h in
.side-rather than on the outside.
Man individually and collectively
is the decider of his own destiny, after
all. He is a mortal who has the power
to choose-to make his decisions IA
Vorably or u~nfavorably.
That we are being weighed in the
balance Is not always true. We are
judging truth and truth is judging lis.
'"Fhese are no times for wasting
our energies On petty things. The hap
penings that we see in h world to-
day are not mysterious, but are the
result of the law. of life-'As a man
sows, so shall he also reap"-This APP
plies to the man, the community, the
nation and the world.
What a man sows, he also reaps--
but sometimes others reap it with
him. Man does not live or act unto
himself-The seeds Of evil grow and
multiply a thousand fold, and we are
reaping today a harvest of arrogance,
of evil, of suspicion. The accusation
cannot be confined, however, to a s.,.-
gle nation. None arc able to stand be-
fore God, and say, II am Clean"
THE Kingdom of God is being SER
iously threatened-we must think
straight-be either for or against,
there can be no middle ground-the
World family must be purified. A
strong morale is necessary for the
boys at the front, which the church
must give"
CHER said, lis what we want, not de-
feat for any nation-but victory for
the world family and for God"

sentenced to two years in the New

He not only disproved his own state

day proved conclusively that he was
an adept in the business of forgery
and raising checks. When. in re-
sponse to order, he wrote his name on
a piece of paper in the presence of the
Judge and Deputy Attorney General
Satterthwaite, both the court and
court officers were satisfied beyond a

and the same. The court remarked
