In the thrift campaign in England
there was coined the expression 1.-THE

'spel must be inculcated in the
american people. The public must
think in terms of labor and materials,

has no value except as a medium OF
exchange. The man who received

ton of he reason people should think
in terms OF goods and services rather
than in terms of money.

had any basis in fact, our own ter
ritorial interests would influence US
against the project, for Siberia is near
our own rich possession of Alaska.
Whether these or other considera-
tions have influenced our government
to refuse the desired permission for a
Japanese expedition, that refusal is
becoming daily harder to maintain.
This is not because of any pressure
from Japan. Japan is not in a posi-
ton to exact any considerable pres
sure. Not only has the United States
become a much more powerful nation
in point of arms than Japan, but
Japan is dependent upon us for the
steel and cotton which are essential
to her col tinued Industrial existence.
The United States, for the first time,
holds the balance of power in the Far
East.
But world affairs are SO shaping
themselves as to make some action by
way of Siberia seem imperative. Ger
many is organizing Russia against
the rest of the world. She is daily
penetrating farther into that grea t
country, planting crops, repairing
railways, opening factories, turning
all resources to her own purpose. 1t
becomes increasingly apparent that
the war will not soon be won on the
western front alone. Something must
be done to counteract the German
is done must be done thru Siberia /;
there is no other way in.
The temperance Of Kerensky
seems to be a signal and basis for
such action. If, instead of Japanese
Intervention in Siberia. an allied ex-
petition were now sent, with the
United States, France, England and
Japan represented in equal force. with
the purposes and limitations of the
expedition clearly stated, SO that Rus
sian suspicious would be laid to rest
and Russian cooperation insured,
many of the losses occasioned by the
Russian collapse might be offset. The
participation of the United States in
such an expedition would be a guar
antee of it's friendly character and it's
consonance with democratic ideals.
Russia might yet be organized against
Germany instead of for her.

In addition to taking occasional
bites out of the German line on the
western front, General Foch has start

He may be planning to get the boys
out of the trenches by Christmas.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-07-11

In four years the allies have failed
to win the war by fighting on the
western front but it has not yet be n
demonstrated that they can't win it on
the eastern front. The Albanian cam
paign is fraught with great possibili-
ties. If Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey
can be put out of the war German re-
sistance cannot long endure.

New York, March 9-Thc Lutheran Wartime Service Fund campaign has been completed, it was announced last night, and instead of $750,o the original goal, the sum of s1,15O, 900 has been raised.
