been that men who loved freedom
were willing to fight for it, and to die
for it if necessary. The Russian at.
titude of nonresistance was something
new in the world, and is hard to I'M
derstand. The bOlsheviki represent.
ed the extreme idea of liberty. To
them freedom meant not the right of
the majority to choose their form of
government, but the right of the indi-
vidual to be free from all forms of
governmental restraint. They would
tear down the old order completely,
at one stroke, and set up the mil
lenium. They would divide the land,
the factories and the tools among the
workers, and have no masters hence
forth.
Even in Russia, however, there were
dissenters. Some took up arms; and
the bolsheviki, who fought the Ger
mans not at all, fought their brothers
most ferociOuSly. The result was an
archy, lawlessnesS, massacre, the dis
organization of the railways and the
failure of the food supply. The mil
ESluSeu u COIu6 at Tie mere
decree of the bolsheviki. 1t was shown
that there must be organization and
government of some sort.
Russia will not longer fight side by
side with her CORNER allies. So in
siduous has been the German propa-
ganda that, in many instances, Russian
hatred of the allies seems to be deep
er than hatred Of Germany.
Therefore the United States cannot
render direct aid to the struggling peo-
pie Of Russia. She cannot send them
armies and supplies, for they have re-
fused to do battle for themselves. To
fight for Russia she must fight on the
western front. She must do her share
toward humbling the kaiser, and fore
ing him to relinqulsh his grasp on the
East.
That is why we cannot talk peace
with Germany as long as the kaiser
has one single Russian province un-
derShis heel.

plain That Francs Slip Through
Fingers.

Forgetting how to figure in Irregular
money" and learning how to calculate
in "this dOggon stuff" is one of the
first worries of the American soldiers
in France, says New York Evening
Sun.
Regular money" is good old dol
lars and cents, nickels, dimes and quar-
tiers.
This doggon stuff" is the name ap-
Piled to French francs, usually paper
money, often as low as single francs,
or 20 cents, for most small cities have
issued local small change currency.
The Americans do not like French
paper money. They say it is trash,
and tears, and is hard to count.
On the other hand, the French are
shocked when an American crumples
French paper up and shoves it In his
pocket the sway they do back home"
French money is to be handled in big
pocketbooks and not crumpled.
Nook at some real money once" a
doughboy told merchant, and flashed
u bright new silver certificate. When
he crumpled it up in his fist to show
how real money can be used" the
Frenchman almost tainted.
The Americans are paid almost en-
tirely in French money and they are
getting used to francs, though they all
agree "a francs SO small it slips
through your fingers like water"

AS to Why We Fight
A SERIES--N No. 4.

We are in this war with Germany
because it is war for freedom more
truly than ever before was war
fought for the liberty of man. In times
past, it is true, men have fought for
freedom from OppressOrs. Sometimes
they have won and sometimes they
have lost. But always there has been
a place in this big world where those
who had lost in the struggle at home
might go and find country where
they might enjoy the liberty they
loved.
Now all is different. IF the forces
which are fighting for freedom in this
war are defeated. there will be no
place in the whole world 20 which they
may go to find a refuge from Prus-
sian domination. Every land under
the sun will be directly or indirectly
under control of the victor: and if
the victor is autocracy, freedom per-
isheS.
The land where freedom Is most i'm
mincntly menaced by the legiOns of
PrusSian autocracy, at this moment
temporarily has run riot and has lost
the power to fight for itself-Russia
We are fighting for the freedom of
Russia, and must continue to fight for
1t until Russia learns what freedom
means, and is again able to fight. If
we do not, freedom will die in Russia
Prusslan autocracy will rule and ex.
&c
and the very forces which overthrow
the car will be turned against the
freedom not only of themselves, but of
other lands.
In years gone by, when the forces
of revolution were showing themselves
here and there in Russia, they had the
sympathy of America in spite Of the
methods Of terrorism of which We
did not approve. When the car and
the kaiser, leaders of autocracy, were
locked in death grapple, Russia still
had our sympathy, because she was
fighting on the side of those who were
seeking to safeguard the world from
Prussian militarism.
When the car was deposed over
There was joy at the downfall of an
old, and sometimes cruel autocracy,
but there was fear that Russia would
become too disorganized to fight fur.
Their, coupled with the thought that per.
haps the revolution had come too soon
to be effective.
Then followed the brief regime of
Oh NIhn 60
though freedom in Russia might be an
organized freedom, prepared to fight
for its rights, and all America hailed
the Russian revolution as a blessing.
1t had become absolutely correct to
say that the war was war of democ-
racy against autOcracy. No pro-Ger-
man could longer point to the car,
whenever an argument arose.
Finally came the bolsheviki revolu-
lion, In which Kerensky was over
thrown. Russian industry and Rus
sian society were disorganized, and
Russian armies ceased to fight. The
kaiser's armies pressed on unopposed,
took what they desired in spite of a
signed peace, and Russia appeared to

troll Of Germany. America stood
aghast at the prank freedom had
played, and American opinion turned
largely against Russia, bat thinking
men refused to give up hope. Rus
sia was and still Is incapable of offer
ing resistance, but Russia is not re.
signed to autocracy. 1t devolves upon
others to fight for the freedom Rus.
sia must have.

cities is $50 miles and the claim is
made that this is the longest route

the intermediate stops being Cracow,

Women to Give Up Platinum,

Women possessing platinum-mounted
jewelry are being urged to have 1t
converted into War Savings stamps
and used for making war materials. A
special drive has been inaugurated to
increase the platinum supply for the
government by melting up Stacker
baubles of platinum. "Women have
gone without heat, without wheat,
without meat" said one of the leaders
of the movement when telling of her
plea to her sex to sacrifice their orna-
ments. "They have been asked to
ecoHomize on the materials in their
clothes and reduce the height Of their
shoes to save leather. Snrely they
ought not to find 1t a hardship to 90
without platinum. There is a shortage
of platinum and it is only with great
difficulty that a sufficient quantity for
actual needs is being obtained for the
vernment."-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

/ The master hand which designed
this frock took inspiration from both
Christian and Pagan. The softly
draped skirt is reminiscent of Turkish
harem skirts and other oriental garb.
The blouse, however, strongly re-
sembles the monks coMl with its
hood effect in the back weighted by a
long, heavy tassel.
To join the blouse and skirt a broad
crushed girdle of blue embroidered in
silver is used. Wooden beads are the
only trimming. They edge the cuffs
of the kimona sleeves and the round
neck.
. The little hat worn with the frock
is made Of accordian plated taffeta.
The soft crown and foppy brim are
both Of the plated silk. Together
with the black satin frock it COM
pletes a stunning costume for the aft
ernoon dansant.
