! Lenine. the head of the Bolshevik
government. is reported to have said
that Russia may find it necessary to
declare war on Japan on account of
the japanese landing at Vladivostok.
No doubt such action would be well
coined gladly by the land of the ris-
ing sun. Any responsible Russian
statesman would consider what hap
pened to his country on a previous oc-
CASTOR when it declared war on Japan.
But Lenine. being in the employ of
Germany. seems thoroly honest in his
efforts to earn his pay. He is invit-
ing a partition of the country between
Ja pan and Germany.

Heart and Beauty
Problems
BY MRS. ELIzABETH rHoMI

Dear Mrs Thompson: am of
middle age and for over three years
have been counting young lady fiji
teen years my junior She is well
educated, industrious, good. kind, ex-
tremely sensitive and very indepen-
dent.
From my first attentions TO her.
I clearly indicated that marriage was
my aim, if it seemed best to each of
us. Just three years ago 1 proposed
marriage to her. She wanted to con-
slider the matter because it was such
a weighty step. Since then have
attended her to public functions, called
often at her home or written when 1
was out of town. l have repeated my
proposals dozens of times and urged
an answer, but SO far 1 have not got
a word or sign that she will ever
marry me. From the first I told her
of my earnest love for her and she
has shyly admitted loving me.
know of no reason why she should
not marry me any day and size has
offered no hint of a reason except to
intimate a vague fear. 1 want to
marry her, but am baffled.
A READER.
A man makes a mistake by show
ing too much devotion to- woman.
You have proposed too often. Tell
her that she must make a decision
right away, and if she refuses you
you Will I1Ol See DoT dSdl1- SUCK TO
what you say and give up all idea of
marrying her if she refuses, because
then your case is hopeless.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls sixteen years of age and what
you would call good-looking. We are
not regarded as flirts, but the boys
around here no not seem to care for
our company. They can talk and
joke with US, but do not seem to care
to take US ont evenings.
We usually manage to show them
a good time when they are with us
and always try to be as sociable as
possible, but when they are with
other girls they act as strangers
sometimes not even speaking.
Do you think the fault lies on our
part or theirs?
SWEET SIXTEENS.
1t is your fault that the boys do
not show more respect for you
Proba bly, you are too familiar when
you talk to them. Be more reserved
when you are with boys and let them
do the talking. After a boy has
ignored you once, do not speak to
him.

The yellow peril is no longer a
figure of speech in Russia. 1t is an
actual presence. The Bolshevik pro-
test against the Japanese landing at
Niadivostok probably will fall on deaf
ears Japan knows what she is about
and is not TO be frightened or turned
aside by a threat of war.

transferring their working equip
ment from war to peace enterprise.
A special inventory is also being
taken of articles for which there is a
demand in Great Britain, but which
are not manufactured there. Like the
United States, Great Britain found at
the beginning of the war that there
were several necessities that Tad been
overlooked by British produce rs-that
many of it's dyes had come from Ger
many, for instance. its flax from Bel
GUM, its chemical glass from Ger
many and Austria. The government is
now determined that so far as pos
sible these things will be produced
within the United Kingdom.
A list of Industries is being COM
piled, moreover, showing wnich are
best adapted to men alone, which to
women alone. and those in which both
men and women may be satisfactorily
employed. That women will continue
in industry after the war is over is ac-
cepted as a tact by the government.
All these activities are evidence of
the commercial struggle which all
political economists agree is coming.
The fight FOR raw materials may come
first-probably with peace negotia-
uons-but the fight for foreign
markets is also inevitable. As for US,
the United States government does not
need any more committees of investi-
cation than it now has. 1t already
possesses a highly organized system of
foreign trade promotion in tn. depart
ment of commerce, the department of
agriculture and the geological survey.
The rest of the problem lies with the
individual exporter-hfs intelligence

ence.

Like a mountain peak. the Sabbath

that laid down by the King Himself
The Sabbath was made for man"
Like all this universe. it was designed
by a beneficent Creator to minister to
the highest requirements of humanity.
As truly as az man needs food and
sleep and shelter he also needs spirit
uaI plenishing. For man is more than
an animal; he is a spiritual being.
They who would pervert the law that
THE Sabbath was made for man" to
mean that 1t was made only Tor the
physical man, for his diversion and
recreation, are thinking on such low
plane that they dishonor man as truly
is they dishonor God. Man has high
er needs thanrthose of the body. The
worst form of starvation is to have
plenty of food for the senses, but none
for the soul Well does the old saying
put it: I'VE have bodies; We are
souls" The GROWING day of the week
was designed for the highest uses. It
was made primarily for mans spirit

that he may become. The Sabbath is
always misspent when it does not
leave the spirit stronger. sweeter. Sc

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary of the Treasury

pending overtures forpeacemGy
be, there will be another Liberty
loan. To use his expression
'"We are going to have to finan
ce peace fer while juat As we
have had to fir ance war.
There are over 100000 Unit
ed States soldiers abroad If
we transport these men back to
the United States at the rate OF
3OO, 900 month, it will be over
half a year before they are all
returned. Our army, therefore,
must be maintained, victualed;
and clothed for many months
after peace is an actuality.
