he reclaimed for future farms and

One in Senator Lewis position-that
'of being but scantily informed Of the
intimate sides of our connections with
foreign ,;Ountr!es-should think twice
before he speaks, with Quasi-Adminis-
tration influence, on any subject
touching upon our foreign relations.
This is the belief of many Of the
members of the Senate who felt rather
put out, to say the least, that the SEN
ator should take it upon himself to
talk upon interference in Russian
matters. Distinctly a wrong impres-
sion OF our affairs is gained from
Senator Lewis statement, so some of
the members say. This wrong impress
sion circulates with unrestrained
force. because OF the widely-known
fact that Senator Lewis is close to the
Administration and hence that ordi-
narily anything he says should be re-
,garded aS an indirect utterance OF the
Administration.
Not entirely disassociated with the
affair. in the minds of some of the
Senators, is the belief that Senator
Lewis desires to speak more for home
consumption-in a year when he is
running for a re-election-than he
does to speak to the country at large.
His indiscretion, they say, however, is
not mitigated by this consideration.

DANES and Dutch
GET U. S. CONCESSION

Closer relations between the
United States and Denmark and
Holland are expected to result from
the announcement of a list of per-
mitted exports to those two neu-
trails by the war trade board. The
list will include typewriters. adding
machines. pianos. automobiles and
other non-essentials of a specially
character. 1t is now in course of
preparation.
1t is expected to keep Germany
from gobbling established American
trade in those countries and also
to supplant part of Germany's trade
which she has been obliged to drop
during the war.
The war trade board also hopes
by this move to establish Ameri-
can credits in those countries and
brace it's American exchange which
is now deprecated. abroad. This
depreciation of exchange has not
come because the balance of trade
is against us but because the bal
ance of payments is against Eng

Three Rousing Cheers.

When troops disentran the way to embark,
and march before you singing Hail, Hail, the
Gangs All Here
And the colors pass, and you thrill and choke
back lump while mist clouds your gaze
And someone proposes three rousing cheers and
you give them-what do they rouse within you?
Do they stir up fighting spirit that churns
your vitals? Does your gall burst and send bitter
ness for the Boche biting wildly through your
veins? Do you wish to God you could blast the
Huns blighting presence from the face of the
earth?
Have you a devouring desire to grab gun, to
drop them till you stop them they get you? Do
your frsts cench, teeth grit, eyes narrow to Sits,
Jaws set and tauten when the primitive
passion to kill quickens pulse and fires heart and
soul with the nearest thing to hate you've ever
known?
All that and more you feel. For these boys
who rouse these things within you, for each
khaki-clad lad who passes Berlin bound-condense
and convert those pent up emotions into rations,
munitions, arms. equipment and crude comforts
through the might in the mite a thrift stamp rep
resents.
Saving is no longer selfish when it requires sac
rifce Those men marching by made greater sacri-
fees than yours would be were you asked to give
what you're expected invest instead, in thrift and
war savings stamps.
Sacrifice to do it-and when you have reached
that point where to do it actually involves sacrifice
then you have earned the right to give the boys
who go three rousing cheers!

Japan and Siberia.

After all. there is only one question connected
with the mooted intervention OF Japan, with other
allied forces, in Siberia.
That question is this: Can Japan, by military
action, aid the defeat of Germany, and hasten the
day when peace will again descend upon the
world: If she can, all minor questions should be
dismissed without ado. If there is grave danger
that Japan's intervention would be of more harm
than good to the allied cause in Russia, although
through it Siberia and North Asia is saved from
the Hun, then there is real doubt as to whether
ii should be undertaken.
Japan is thousands of miles away from the now
defunct Eastern front, and her only way of reach
ing it is rapidly disntegrating single-track rail-
road running through Siberia. The real significance
OF Japanese intervention, therefore, would not be
in military intervention in those Russian provinces
being absorbed by Prussia; it would be in
holding Siberia free from Teutonc influnece and
in saving the military stores at VIadivostok and
other points.
Would Russia regard Japan as a savior or as
new oppressor2 There is no doubt as to how the
Bolshevki would regard it. But it becomes clearer
every day that the Bolshevist government is built
upon sand and cannot live Therefore the more i'm
portant question is whether the entrance OF Japa-
OF allied forces in Siberia would hasten the
downfall OF Lenine and Trotzky, or whether the
Russian people would be alarmed as to cling to
their now practically discrcdited regime, rather
than fly to evils they know OF.
1t is this question which President Wilson is
now weighing in his mind He to know how
the Russian people stand He is thinking in terms
OF Russian psychology, rather than in military
terms. Japan, it is stated has her legons ready to
advance when the allies say the word Surely there
has been no deeper problem presented in the war
than this. for in it is locked much of the future
history of 'the world. This is, as we call it, a
word-war, and it will profoundly mould the fu-
ture OF the yellow races. we'll as OF the Cau-
casian. Perhaps it is the belated recognition Of
this fact that makes Japan eager to assert her
force, to be vital factor at the peace table when
The nations gather around it. to do her share in

They cgged the Russian soldiers on the Turkish

at Brest-Istovsk.
Thatstreaty robbed Georgia of the Ardahan and
Batum districts, whose dwellers are Georgian Mo-;

great Armenian population. Thus the BolsheyiL,

Our Strength Will Win.

Reports of food shortage in Germany are un-
doubtedly true, and in no wise exaggerated Sui
feEing and unrest in Austria without question
equally true.
1t is probable that the Hun activity the
Western front and the renewal OF the Austrian
offensive in Italy forced by conditions existing
among the people in both empires. Distress
and threat of uprising have forced desperate ef-
fort to gain something which would placate the
people.
But that is not the way the war will end We
cannot look for anything of that kind to defeat the
enemy we are fighting. 1t may weaken. him. 1t
may bring the end nearer But the victory we
must have and will have, will not be by de-
pending upon the enemy's lack of food.
We must win by strength-by using all the
force at our command and fighting with all our
resources. Nothing could be more damaging than
to let any assumption that Germany and Austria
are falling to pieces halt energies us
to hesitate in mobilizing all strength. =. -.
We must fight Until the Prussian military dy-
nasty is brought to its knees and the harder we
fight and the less we depend upon food distress
in the enemies country the sooner will victory be
won and the war ended-Phladephia Evening

see service In this war and share
in the thrill Of it?. -.-a.
How can the man who was too
young to night in the Civil War and
too old to tight in the present con-
fiict get into the gamer"

DR.. John R. Mott. in Washington
this week to report to President
Wilson the result Of observations
on the European fronts. which he
has Just visited in his capacity OF
General war work secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A.
DIR. Mott points to the Y. N. C. A.
overseas service as a place for the
man who feels that he belongs to a
skipped generation, a place as
near the front lines trenches as he
cares to go, a place that carries
with IL one OF the greatest oppor-
tunities for patriotic service that
is presented to a man too old TO
fight.
Six Thousand Needed
More than 1000 such men are on
the western front today. DR.. Mott
stated, and before September /
there must be 5000.
A year ago the "Y" did not ex-
pect TO be running a business in
France that would do a business
of 100000 a month in June. 1915.
DR.. Mott stated. Big men are
needed for the personal contact
with the men as hut secretaries and
athletic directors. All kinds Of as
sistants can be used, such as ac-
countants, warehousemen. shipping
clerks and receiving clerks. In the
motor transport there is a constant
demand for the so-called gentle
man drivers. men who own their
own cars. drive them. and can make
repairs when necessary.

for an investigation of the league by the
House judiciary Committee.
The attack was provoked by literature
the league has been sending out giving
the records Of members OF Congress on
some war measures. Representative
Frear. although picked out for attack in
the recent primaries. was renomlnated.
THE days are too critical" said Mr..

cally 80 per cent of the membership OF
this House and forty-seven of the forty
eight States.
THE Security League flag waved by
Ellhu Root and Acting Patriot Alton b.
Parker of Wall Street carries a political
skull and crossbones ostensibly over
eight votes In Congress of which six
were prior to the war. These votes be-
come the leagues test of loyalty. The
character and effect of these votes Is
brazenly misrepresented.
"Only forty-seven members OF Con-

members are strictly pure men fit to
stand with Root and Parker. and Of the
forty-seven perfect patriots only three
are Democrats. All the remaining $40
members are being subjected to poison

The resolution refers to the charge
that the league has spent over 100000
in carrying on its propaganda and calls
on the committee to ascertain whether
this money has been spent In violation of
the corrupt practices act and also what
efforts the league has made TO influence
improperly Congress elections.
