JAPAN GETS A JOLT.

The advance of German armies into
Russia along 400 mile front is likely to
give Japan great many uneasy reflec-
tions. AS the Journal predicted months
ago Germany has become a serious men,
ace to the Flowery Kingdom. Not only
a serious menace from a military point of
view but from an economic and trade
standpoint as we'll Japan is now at the
parting of the ways and must choose be-
tween two difficult roads, Japan has in
Cured the enmity of the Kaiser by as
sisting the Allies on the sea. Germany
does not forget, and Japan cannot well
afford to fight Germany in ten or dozen
years from now after that power has
gained half or more of Russia. 1t would
be far better to fight her now, and to as
sist Russia in driving the invaders from
her territory. Japan's mistake was made
when she failed to place half million of
her splendid troops somewhere on the
eastern fighting line. Had she donethis
Italy would not have been invaded, and
Russia might have been saved.

WILL 1T BE DONE (?

In common with most of our people
Sec'y Baker anticipates a furious general
attack on the western front by the Ger
mans Some close observers, however,
do not expect this but believe that the
enemy is waiting for the Allies to give
battle. While the Kalser's legions are
immense in number, the same is true of
the Allies In 1914 when the Germans
made their determined dash towards
Paris and came dangerously near getting
there, the French had only 1900, 600
troops to oppose them, and many of these
were poorly equipped and only partially
seasoned and trained. Today the French
have 2, 700, 900 men amply supplied with
guns and ammunition, well intrenched
and full of courage. Never before have
the British been so strong in France as
now and the Americans will do their part
man for man. Well may the Germans
hesitate. A general attack by them will
mean loss of perhaps million men and
possibly, if not probably, defeat which
will virtually be the end of all their hopes
of ruling the world AS matter of fact
the position of both the opposing armies
seems to be impregnable and we do not
see how the situation can be changed
without appalling losses by each. These
are days of suspense and anxiety, but it

UNFORTUNATELY!

Z Unfortunately, Mr.. Wilson's position
demands not only intellectual and moral
leadership, but also capacity for the
direction of material and tangible things,
for the supervision and the control OF in
dustry, transportation systems, machin-
cry of every sort, at least to the extent
that it requires of him the ability to
choose the right men to whom to delegate
these gigantic tasks. d.
For this task Mr.. Wilson's past life and
his whole habit of mind unfit him. His
weakness in this respect is entirely anal
oeous to that of Mr.. Asquith, who re-
mains in many respects one OF the most
useful and eloquent expositors of allied
purposes and ideals, as he was and would
be again one of the most hopeless and dis
NAL failures as an executive, as COM
peller of men and of things.
Mr.. Wilson has spoken nobly in recent
months. The moral leadership of the
allied world is as nearly his as it is the
possession of any one man; but MI. Will
son has been unable at any time to choose
the men or direct the machines by which
the moral ideas and principles which he
championed could be made efficient, ano

Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board
and Mr. McAdoo, Director General of
Railroads, have promised that New Eng
land shall hereafter have 1000, 900 tons
of coal a month. Professor Garfield seems
for the present to be ignored. Mr. McAdoo
was visited last week by large delegation
of New England coal pilgrims who called
upon him to urge that something more
be done to relieve the shortage of coal in
this section of the country. Mr.. Nc
Adoo told his visitors what amount of
coal had been shipped there, and on be-
ing reminded that this was only about
one-third of the supply needed is report
ed to have said: ''if you haven't got it,
what are you going to do about it?'' We
cannot believe that Mr. McAdoo so far
forgot official courtesy as to make such a
remark. We do believe he is well versed
in the courtesies of business intercourse
and is an honest and patriotic man, striv-
lng with all his power to clear up the
freight congestion, and has called to his
aid some of the best railroad men in the
country. A dispatch comes from Wash
ington that coal will be plenty later in the
year and that prices will be lower but
from now on people who have the
money to pay for coal will stock I'D
for next winter if coal is to be had
We can get along with a very limited
amount of sugar, but we must have coal
or we shall be compelled to close up busi-
ness, shut up our houses and migrate to a
lodge in some vast wilderness or to some
point in the torrid zone. 1t will be better
for us to migrate than to bow down before
. the mailed fist. Ii we must choose between
a businessless and a heatless New Eng
land and the Kaiser, we choose the for
mer. But before we choose we would
like to see systematic and co-ordinated

STATIONERY FASHIONS.

Fashions in stationery seem to change
quite as frequently as our fads and
fancies in dress. For awhile white paper
and envelopes were considered quite the
proper note, but now gray has appeared
as a prime favorite. The paper is a
heavy quality and is engraved with mon
ogram in silver or darker gray.
The envelope has a lining of thin paper
striped in light and dark gray. Enve-
lopes with contrasting Innings are decid-
eddy smart now and the lining is as care
fully chosen for harmony's sake as any
expensive silk lining in fur coat.
The sheet of letter paper is larger than
it used to be and is folded unevenly, one
edge projecting half an inch beyond the
other. Down this projecting edge, which
is on the under layer of the folded sheet,
struggles the monogram, or the initials,
cunningly designed to follow one another
in vertical line.
The envelope matching this sheet is
oblong rather than square and allows for
the half-inch projecting on the paper.

Cash and Carry.

Quite providentially it happens that
the doctrine of carrying home ones
groceries promises to attain full
growth at time when capacious and
decorative bags are not only fashion
able. but almost necessary for house
wives. 1t is evident. says the Spokane
Spokesman Review, that there is in
tention of seeing that the buyer Is
paid in cash for carrying his own food
home. Already dealers are looping
cent sand even nickels off the cost of
things not delivered. A cent, for in
stance, goes thus with every loaf of
bread. Cents and nickels grow rapid
ly to quarters. and quarters will buy
war stamps that pay per cent. 1t be-
hooves us to look closely to such de-
tails.

Stomach Dead Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation of food, distress after eat
ing and indigestion, and seek relief in
large chunks of artificial digestors, are
killing their stomachs by inaction just as
surely as the victim of morphine is dead
ening and iniuring beyond repair every
nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from Indigestion needs is good prescrip-
ton that will build up his stomach, put
strength, energy and elasticity into it,
and make it sturdy enough to digest a
hearty meal without artificial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists every
where and by A. A. Howes & Co. and is
rigidly guaranteed to build up the stom-
ach and cure indigestion, or money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in large
boxes, for only few cents. Remember
the name, Mi-o-na stomach tablets. They

Fleet corporation let three fabricating
steel ship contracts. The contracts called
for the equipment of the yards and the

Hog Island, Pa, was selected as the site
for the largest of these three yards. The
estimate of cost of this enterprise was
$21, 600, 900, of which Sc, 0O0, 900 was the
