WHY IT HAS NO FRIENDS.

Germany may get a lot of satisfac- ton out Of the sinking of such yes sels as the Galway Castle and of ex- acting such toll of human life as was taken in that instance, where no warning whatever was given to the ship and no opportunity at all given to the passengers to leave the vessel before it was struck by torpedo, but it is hard to figure just how. It was one of the typical instances of Teutonic frightfulness which has characterized the operations Of the submarines.
 The imperial German government can point to the fact that by the sink ing Of the ship one less vessel is avail able for getting supplies to England and the rest of the British Isies which it has set out to starve. and it can claim that the deliberate mlrdering of children, women and men will serve to strike terror to the hearts of their relatives and friends. Though it ex- poets such results it can hardly find them following the similar destruction of the Lusitania and the long list oi other ships sent to the bottom in lillc 1 manner and with every intention oi | disregsrding the rights of humanity
 Every such case has simply servef to make the people of the allied na tions, and in not few instances thos' of neutral countries, more determined | than eveH that those who are re sponsible for such actions must bt | driven from power and that sucl | Prussian ideas must be dealt such z | blow that no one will ever dare tt
 revive them.
 And in the face of it all the ques l ton is asked Why has Germany n i friends?" The answer lies in Ger | many's own conduct.

STORIES OF THE WAR
A Visit to Lafayette's BirthpIace,


 Lieut..

 T had to go to a place near Le Puy to get a signature and it being an all- day trip. 1 thought l would like to take along a couple of the boys at the garage, as they, have been more than nice.

REvIvINe RUSSIA.

It is quite natural that General Gai- da of the Czecho- -Slovak forces should point out at this time the importance of getting immediate assistance from the allies on the present eastern front along the Volga in order to derive all possible benefit from the conditions which are ct the present time prevail ing in Russia.
 That the allies are fully conscious of the situation and are determined to give all possible aid is indicated by the landing of new forces including Americans in the Arehangel region and by the forwarding of new Japan csc divisions for service in Siberia where the troops from that country have been doing such valuable ser vice in breaking up the bolshevik &C., tivities.
 But in addition to that the manner in which the activities of the bol- shevil leaders, the tools of Germany hired to turn Russia over to the inn perial German government, are being shown up is not only going to have its effect upon the nations of the world but it is going to show the Rus sians as it was. never pointed out to them before that if they arc going to save themselves from German domina- ton it is time to rise up and give eycry possible assistance to those who are doing their utmost to help their country.
 The importance Of reviving Russia cannot te overlooked but it is equally 'mnorta1t that the Russians should hc awakened to the seriousness oi their plight and be aroused to the i'm mediate need of helping to work out their own salvation and from all in dications good progress is being made in that direction with the bolshevik indirectly and unintentionally giving valuable assistance.

DON'T WASTE PAPER.

For some months now anyone who has had anything to do with the pur- chase of paper has been made fully aware of the situation in the paper market. Not only has the price gone sky high but paper is hard to get. News papers have been restricted to certain amounts. They have been forced to reduce the quantity which they for merly used while users of wrapping paper, bags. or in fact paper of all kinds have experienced the growing scarcity, because the commodities which enter into the manufacture of paper are needed for other things.

from a postmaster up the state. He

repress her curiosity.
Half an hour after they had gone
upstairs Mr.. Bowser began pacing
the floor, as he always does when he
has got little scheme on hand. By
and by he suddenly made up his
mind to unbosom himself, and he sat
down and drew the letter from his
pocket and said:

SIT has all to do with 1t, my dear,
as you will soon learn. About a
month ago a stranger came into my
office and introduced himself as Mr..

become a great general. but he could
not do so unless he could make GER

acres. 1t was worth SIS an acre. but

"He said that about half dozen
paper manufacturers were after that

preference. There are trees enough

and hnmiliated. and. though she
would not crow over him. he could
