REIGN OF TERROR

Russia is fast bleeding to death through a reign of terror, which Is worse than that of the French Re y0lution, and it is time the nations of he earth came here to put down one of the worlds greatest evils, President Nicholas Tschaikovsky of the provisional government of north Russia, told a correspondent of the Associated Press.
 It is no longer a question of politics.
 Inside the Bolshevik lines the situation is worse than the French reign of terror. Victims executed now must he counted by the tens of thousands. All hair-splitting politi- cal reasons aside, the world must know that the Bolsheviks are no longer even a party. but are now merely a group Of men determined to hold what they have seized by the merciless slaughter of those who oppose them.
 It is now only the question of putting down an evil. Persons es- caping from Moscow. Petrograd and Vclogda and reachi"g Archangcl bring indisputable stories of the exc cutions. The situation seems be- yord the control of some Bolshevik leaders, who themselves are re- vclting at the blooGshed.
 Nothing can bring Russia out of this chaos until the Bo'sheviki ter rcr has been Quashed by the force of arms, said Tschaikovsky. The force here is unable to do this quickly. Meanwhile hundreds are dying daily.
 The world must understand tha BOlshevikism, like imperialism, is foe to democracy. It is in Rus si1 mere dictatorship, a group of men holding sway by force Of arms. They seize every straw, falsifying logic to justify them selevs. As an example they now declare that the proposed league of nations is only another scheme to give power to the bourgeoise a. gairst the working men.
 Perhaps the world will naturally ask what Russia is doing to help herself said Tschaikovsky, and I eau only answer that We are doing our best. A recent example is the reorganization of the govern ment the north. Now every party and every class is represented. For getting politics they are turning their efforts toward putting down the BOlsheVik evil. We are mobi'iz- ing our forces, but the Allies must help.

TO CANCEL
 ALLIES DEBTS

War debts of the allies should be cancelled by the United States, and their financial obligations should De wiped off the slate by way of help ing the nations who gave so many lives. This Is the statement of U' nited States Senator George E. Chamberlain, in an article publish cd in the monthly bulletin of the Lcyal Legion of Loggers and Ium- bermen and the Spruce Production Division of the army.
 The money, he says, wen to buy bullets and bread for fellow belliger- ents who fought with us to defend our homes. Senator Chamberlain Is chairman of the military affairs com mittee of the senate. His artic le follows:
 '"The war is not yet over; nor in deed are our obligations ended when formal peace is declared. America has a colossal debt still to pay to the mute British army that has fought so doggedly through these bitter four years; to Italy, that has broken Austria wth only one regi- ment of American troops to aid her; to pitifuI, sublime, Serbia and Beleium, that have endured martyr dem and devastation for & holy cause; and last but not least to France, the chief target of all Hun nIsh hate.
 These men have fought our pat ties as well as their own; they have paid in blood and tears and in the lives of their women and children dearer to them than life, for the privilege of a free world. We. too' as q nation, have made many sac rIfices In blood and treasure in order to do our part in this geat struggle for liberty and for civiliza- tion.
 I've are honest men and 8 pa- triotic nation and are willing to bea our full share of the land. Though our sacrifices have not been so great as those of our allies, we can help bind up the wounds or those who bled for and with us; wipe out their petty financial ob- ligations to us and give them help ing hand in reconstruction.
 Shall America fear the business competition of those crippled allies who have made our fight while we have continued to grow rich. not withstandine the ravages of war? We stay.at-home soldiers who have not been privileged to face the bullet and bayonet and bomb still owe our biggest debti surely We shah be brave enodgh to assist in paying the bills incurred in our be half for food and powder and hos pitals when these people We now cal our debtors paid 1O,OOO,O00 lives to save us!

Another terrible marine casualty Is reortel from Alaska where, in the past years. dozen Of vessels, mil lions iu property value, and number less human lives have found a rest ing place in the icy waters of those su0 rsely lighted and poorly protect eL shores.
 la the case Of the Princess So pR.4 the loss Of life is most appall inS, making it the most serious Rr=ck of record on the Pacific. The vessel struck and held for a time on the rocks, but later broke in two and sank without one survivor. Tn all 343 are said to have been lost, aud the monument over their fin at resting place is THE UNLIGHT- ED VANDERBILT REEF IN UNIT EO STATES WATERS.
 A fairly new steel vessel Of Brit isn build and registry, worth a mil Ilvn; possibly another million in gold dust, in addition to those pre- vio!s human lives, mostly American, many Canadians and others-all los Wita not even trace left. And pos s,Diy it could have been avoided.
 ca, the pity of lt!
 Without prejudice and lacking details. With no thought of sug- sesring criticism of the ships of- flcers. does not this teach a les son? Is it not the opportune mo- neat for insisting that something be dcns to at least minimize the risk O. such tragedies in those waters O. British Columbia and Alaska?
 The route from Seattle to Skag- way is. roundly, 1.15O miles. The vessels travel through waters of the states Of Washington, then across rn open Strait of Juan de Fuca, then for some 500 miles Or more through British Columbia. and then for the balance of some 800 miles O more in the United States waters Of Alaska.
 For years congress has been petittoned to build more and more Lighthouses in Alaska. British Col 3mbia is much better lighted, but there is room for vast improvement
 Then the rules governing salvage o2eations are positively awful. Un- der existing laws, both Of Canada ard the United States, an American vessel cannot salve a wreck in Brit ish Columbia waters, nor can a Canadian vessel do salvage work in American waters. Often times 1t Is extremely difficult to draw the line between what would be considered by either government as work of humanity and what would infringe on salvage laws. The masters of foreign ships now place their own CTS in jeopardy, every time they extend aid to a ship in distress on Canadian or American coasts. Laws should be changed and at once, or sn6other and even more horrible disaster will be recorded.
 Railway and Marine News, IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, calls upon the governments of the United States and Canada to remedy this great wrong by at one appointing a JOINT COMMISSION to study and

Save Spoons

Ne00eSt Slogan
FL Paso Housewives Want
To Help Conserve Sup
ply, Still Very Short.

Save a spoon O. sugar" is the new
slogan that is being adopted by
housewives in FL Paso and other
places in order to assist the food ad-
ministration in the conservation Of
the limited supply allowed. 1t is es-
timated that the saving Of a spoon Of
sugar each day for a month will so
greatly reduce the shortage that the
allowance may be increased by Octo-
Der 1.
Very few people realize that the su-
gar shortage is more acute than ever
and in a great many states the allot-
ment for preserving has been with
drawn, those posted on food matters
say.
Corn Sugar Good Substitute.
The new corn sugar which is now
on the local markets is proving very
popular and a most excellent substi-
tute. This sugar. which is rather
coarse, can be substituted in coffee.
iced drinks. certain jellies and des-
serts, and the difference in taste is
not noticeable.
There will be no shortage in corn
sugar. but the supply is as yet limited,
owing to the fact that it is a new pro-
duct ana is being rapidly adopted by
manufacturers and the public.
Wherever possible the use OF beet
sugar should be reduced" said an Of
ficer of the food administration 1T
should not be used in coffee or tea It
is surprising how quickly one may
become accustomed to doing without
it. and within a few days you Will &C

In this connection Mr.. Adams said:
I'VE realize that the movement OF
the crops viii begin in a very short
time and that the 30 percent payment
due on the third Liberty loan must
be paid August Is, and yet we feel
that every bank in this district is car
and that the banks OF this district
must proceed to adjust their affairs 50
that funds can be invested in the
liquid securities Of the United States
government in preparation for the
fourth Liberty bond campaign.
Corporations should realize that
another income and excess profits tax

set aside each month for the payment
OF this tax In this way business is
