present, but that there Is danger or complications after the mission of the Japanese army is performed. Besides, the effect of such action as is con- templated, upon the the people of Russia, with whom Japan was at war only a little more than a decade ago. Is a source of some speculation. It is feared by some students of the situa- tion that the Bolsheviki might in the circumstance join the Germons.
 The allies as well as Japan are vii tally interested in safeguarding the integrity of Russia. Vast stores of supplies are piled up at Vladivostok and the Siberian railroad, as poten- tial weapon of Germany, must be pro tectcd. It is the business of the allies to save Russia from itself to such an extent as is possible and to guard their own interests by baking the enemy at every quarter. Japan, as the prin- cipal ally in the Orient, and as q neighbor of Russia, naturally is best qualified to assume the burden, and the only question the remains is whe- ther intervention should be made jointly.
 While the United States is in no po- sition to send a large expedition to Siberia it could augment the Japanese force to such an extent as to give the project an international character, and thus help dissipate any feeling of resentment the Russians might feel toward Japan, acting alone. It is not improbable that some such arrange ment can be made without wounding the pride of Japan or arousing Rus sia against the allies.

TRADITIONS OF OUR FORE.
 FATHERS UPHELD

American troops have been put to the test and their record measures up to the high standard of their race. The German attack on the American line near Foul, although a raid rath- CT than battle, as battles are gauged on the western front today, found the Yankees ready. It was the stiffest fight in which the Americans have been engaged since they entered the trenches and the description of 1t can- not but bring a glow of pride to the heart of every patriot.
 The significance of the contest lies chiefly in the fact that the American fighting man has been tried in the crucible of war and emerged resplen- dent. It serves to remove the fears of timorous Americans that their own soldiers might prove no match for the trained German. It proves that the soldierly qualities which have marked the American from the dawn of the nations history have not decayed through the decades of leisurely peace that the courage, the dauntlessness, the individual unity" which has been a characteristic of our armies, have not burned out. It shows to the con- temptuous military autocrats of Ger many that the Yankee is not the fab by, indifferent, tango-dancing, money grabber that they have tried to make their subjects believe him to be.
 Men returning from the battle front have asserted over and over that the individual American soldier is more than a match for the German. just as the Frenchman and the Britisher have proved their superiority. Many meticulous persons have doubted 1t, fed up as they were on the prowess of the seasoned German. The clash of March 1, 1918, sets at rest all doubts of the ability of the American to hold his own with the best-advertised sol dier in the world.
 Americans must expect to sustain heavy losses and even temporary de- feats. It is one of the fortunes, or misfortunes of war. But in the face oi the showing of our troops in the pre-, liminaries which have occurred since they began their crusade against kais' erism, those who persist in theil doubts and fears are Jeremiahs of the first water.

The great trouble lies in the fact that a good many of our editors in publishing literature relating to labor are inclined the think that if they favor the corporate interests in their respective communities, in matters of this kind, they will reap a benefit therefrom. They forget that the labor CT Is the backbone of the community in which he resides. It Is imperative at this time that labor disputes Le settled as quickly as possible, such cannot be very easily accomplished if ;he press insists on publishing news which has tendency to discriminate against efficiently organized labor. If our editor or editors, as the case may be, would only devote a little more of their time toward solving the prob lem, which from time to time becomes thorn in the path of commercial pro- gress, and would offer solution whereby we could remedy this cause, they would do more toward bringing capital and labor together, and there by promote that feeling of brotherly love and freedom for which the pres ent world war is being waged.
 A nation Is no greater than it's peo- pie make it. in order to have pro- gressive nation we must have har- mony existing throughout the nation. The accomplishment of this can cas- fly be had through the elimination of giving publicity, or utterances to any thing which directly, or indirectly, would have a tendency to retard the progress of that nation.
 Capitalism should set aside the garb of selfishness for the duration of the war, and in return, they will find that labor is first and foremost to meet them half way, and in the ma jority of cases, concede to greater degree in settling disputes arising from differences of opinion between labor and capital, than does the cap- italist himself.
 Trusting that the editor, or editors, throughout our nation who insist up- on making assertions of any nature wha atsoever that would have for its purpose the object of creating con- flicting ideas among the producers of the nation, shall show their loyalty by ceasing to publish articles which in any measure discriminates against the producers of the metals and con- modities, so essential in these strenu ous days of warfare. am.

son-in-law of Louis Swift, the Chicago packer, detained as an enemy alien, today was ordered held for action by the attorney general, but not ordered deported.
 A decision of the immigration bu- reau announced that charges of being an enemy agent, on which Minotto's deportation was sought, would be dis missed. Evidence submitted against the count by several government de- partments was deemed insufficient but the charges were believed to be of such gravity that the department of justice should have an opportunity for further investigation.
 A review of the evidence made pub lie by the department of labor says Minotto was "notoriously associated" with German officials, as was his fath- CT, who, it also was disclosed, is un- der suspicion. Minotto, the depart ment found. was closely associated with Count Luxburg, and also M. and Mime. Caillaux when they were in South America.

JAPANESE INVASION OF SIBERIA

Tremendous interest has been aroused in the determination of Jap an to safeguard it's interests in Russia by sending an army into Siberia. In view of the fact that the German in- vasion of Russia is an open threat to Japan, it is not at all surprising that the mikado's government should feel called upon to take protective meas tres.
 In some quarters there is a dispo- sition to impute bad faith to Japan in connection with the proposed man. euver-not that the plan is accom- panied by any aggressive designs at

TO A SkYLARk. ETHEREAL minstrel! Pilgrim of I the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire. are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground? Thy nest which thou canst drop into at will. Those quivering wings composed. that music still! Leave to the nightingale her shady wood: A privacy of glorious light is thine; Whence thou dost pour upon the world a flood Of harmony. with instinct more di- vine: Type of the wise who soar. but never roam: True to the kindred points of heav- en and home!

SUBMARINES AND A|RCRAF LIMITED
 IN FUTURE WARS
Much Discussion as to How These Deadly Weapons Shall Be Used
 Hereafter

Washington. December q ' Army and navy officials here believe that the uses to which two weapons which figured so largely in the world con- flict-submarines and aircraft-may be put in future wars will be sharp ly limited by international agreement evolved at the peace conference.
 These questions have been under dis cussion in military circles since the end of hostilities, but there is no def mite information as to what sugges- tions the American peace commission CTS will present to the conference. There appears to be substantial agree ment among officers, however that tu- ture operations of submarines must be confined strictly against warships
 As to aircraft, officers say that in seeking to make certain that civil pop ulations are never again subjected to such outrages as have been commit ted by German airmen, it may well be that the flying army hereafter will be restricted exclusively to observation work and to such attacks upon troops as machine gun or similar armament would permit
 The submarine problem apparently attracts the greatest attention. There Is reason to believe that the navy gen. eral board would not favor proposals that the use of submarines in any form be abandoned entirely Navy officers, however, favor prohibition of the use of their craft against any but warships, as that would mean the end of submarine blockades, and they re- gard this as one of the main practi- cal elements to be dealth with in any dlscusslon of freedom of the seas
 Another question with which the peace conference is expected to deal with very -emphatically is the use of poisonous or other gases
