A KNoTTY PROBLEM

n T is easy to see that the
question of Japanese op-
erations in Siberia is a
perplexing one for the United
States and for the allies. How
would japanese activity in ST.
IBERIA be accepted by the Rus
sian populace? Would it be
good thing for the allies or a
good thing for the kaiser?
Would it aid German efforts to
use Russian manpower in be-
half of the central powers?
That is something to be con-
sidered. On the other hand
the allies cannot afford to have
those Siberian supplies divert
ed to German purposes. Then
there might be justification for
japanese acquisition of some
territory. Russia has
been holding territory that is
strictly oriental and which ori-
entails would like to develop.
If Japan could get some ST.
.berian territory it would afford
a field for the japanese over
flow and Japs would not be so
anxious to come to America.
Again Japan cannot afford to
sit idly by and see the German
Iization of Russia, with Siberia
included. 1t would mean a
Germanized Russian menace
of decided Importance to ia
pan.
So altogether the problem is
involved. 1t is something that
our government in conjunction
with our allies will have to
solve in the best manner pos.
sible. 1t will be interesting tc
note the decision.

some useful labor to keep then

some useful labor to keep them
busy.
These men may or they may
not be paid agents of the kaiser.
But they are doing Just the
class of work the Hohenzol-
lerns want done in America.
They are spreading just the
sort of poison Germany desires
to see spread and which our
country cannot safely tolerate.
If people would listen to their
stuff and believe it the country
would soon be in a fine mess in
deed.
This country is not at war
because it believes in war or
wanted war. 1t is waging a
war to help save the world
from domination by a country
that does believe in war-war
for conquest and aggrandise-
ment. If they would go TO
Germany and preach their no.
tions these international Bible
students could accomplish some
good. They need that dope
over there and need it badly.
We do not need it here and
should, not stand for it, whe-
ther it be spread by traitors or
by fools. A man who allows
himself to be duped into circu-
lating such propaganda can do
lust as much harm as a paid
German spy, if not more. 1t is
a serious mistake to allow them
to carry on such business. Rus
sia is a fine example of what
a poisoned nation is like. Let
America beware.

IT IS IMPERATIVE

~ HE money cost of our
VI Civil War was about
$8,000,OO0,000. The
present world war has already
cost over $100,000,000,000.
Those of us in America who
feel that we have felt the
pinch of war should remember
that for every dollar we have
war purposes (includ-
ing loans to our allies), Great
Britain has spent $500, France
$500, and Germany $500.
Nor should it be forgotten that
both our population and natl
onal wealth greatly exceed
those of any of the three.
We can we'll afford to save
and lend. We must save and
lend, if the Hun hordes are to
be kept from despoiling our
nation.
