guns and calmly seems to watch the

screaming across the field.
On the other hand, the horse ridden

ears and makes bee line for the sta
bies whenever he hears a shell.
An unruly grey horse named "Skv-
rocket, which Captain Foster hoped
TO have broken to the saddle before
ne was transferred to Fort Riley, has
become so unmanageable since the
captain left that it took the combined
efforts OF a number of men to get him
back to the remount station. SKY

him since he came to camp.

Dunn. N. CT suffered with

'Vinol advertised and tried it, and I
want to tell you it just cured that

That's because Vinol is a constitu-
tional cod liver and iron remedy
which aids digestion, enriches the
blood and creates strength. Then
chronic coughs and colds naturally
disappear. Your money will be re-
turned if it does not help you.

@ ONE two hundred odd butchers have called account
by the food board for failing to reflect the lowered whole

sold for the spring lamb when there should have

Some butchers who doing the right thing offered

whereas chops cost 80 cents and the balance 20

Urge Plan to Aid
Russia and Nullify
Hun Propaganda
American Russian Cham
Der of Commerce Submits
Detailed Scheme

The American Russian Chamber of
Commerce has lust sent to civic, trade
and commercial organizations through
out the United States an outline OF
plan it suggests whereby practical
and Immediate aid may be rendered
Russia. The Chamber Of Commerce
urges that no time be lost in furnish
ing such aid as is possible, not only
for the sake Of Russia itself, but to
combat the steadily growing German
influence there.
The organization OF civic-economic
assistance board, composed Of trained
experts, to go to Russia Immediately,
is strongly urged. The Chamber OF
Commerce, however. suggests that IN
view of existing conditions in Russia,
it is probable the most effective work
could be done by a campaign of re-
generation for the stricken nation IN
Siberia.
The suggestions Of the Chamber OF
Commerce are founded on a report
Just submitted by the executive COM
mittee, which is composed of repre-
sentative Americans who have had long
experience in Russia. The proposed
programme calls for the establishment
of liberal government in Siberia and
the reorganization Of agricultural,
mining and manufacturing industries
there as an indispensable preclude to
such accomplishments in European
Russia.
Urges Educational Campaign
AS as integral part of its pro
gramme, the Chahber urges a national
educational campaign in Russia and
Siberia. The publicity bureaus Of
such organizations as the Red Cross
and the Young Mems Association are
suggested as practical means of
carrying out this part of the plan.
On the civic-economic assistance
board sent to Siberia, the chamber rec
ommends that one section be composed
OF railroad experts in order that the
reorganization of the Russian railroad
system may be undertaken immedi-
ately. 1t asks also for number of
financial experts who can assist in the
establishment of credit and tinan-
Clal system in Russia.
The commercial section of the board,
the chamber suggests, should superin-
tend the ordering, financing exchange
and distribution of goods sent to ST.
IBERIA. The work of this part of the
board the chamber suggests, should be
facilitated by the creation of some
financial instrumentality through which
the exchange Of mmodities between
Russia and the United States could be
effected until conditions become nor
nal.
Inc chamber suggests that there be
agricultural and publicity sections to
the board. The former is to be COM
posed Of trained experts and practical
assistants who caA travel as far as
practical into the country. giving as
sistance wherever it is needed.
The same methods are to be followed
with the publicity bureau. Its mem
bers are to spread propaganda per
sonally wherever conditions permit
them to travel, it's chief character being
to explain to the populace the objects
and aims of the Allies in winning the
war. Attention, too, is to be paid to
German propaganda, that it may be re-
futed wherever it has taken root

Time Will Turn
Back on October II
Congress to Make No Further
Effort to Continue Day
light Saving Law

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.--No further
effort will be made by Congress to
continue the existing daylight saving
law, and the hands Of the clocks Will
be turned back an hour on October Zf'
as planned originally. This decision
was reached to-day at conference be-
tween Congressional leaders and Chair
man Baruch of the War Industries
Board, who had recommended the law
remain in force for the period OF the
war.
The Senate passed bill recently to
continue the law in effect indefinitely,
and it is now pending in the House:
Senator Calder, of New York, author Of
the original daylight bill, said after
the conference to-day that difficulties
of the railroad administration and
other governmental agencies in arrang-
ing schedules and anticipated Difficult
ties in getting final action on the bill
by the House contributed to the de-
cision. The War Industries Board urged
contiuation Of the law particularly be-
cause Of it's value in saving fuel.

Asks Economic Penalty
For Germans Looting
Minister Would Withhold Raw
Material From Hun to
Force Restitution

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Dr. Christopher
Addison, minister without portfolio
in charge of reconstruction. in the
course of a speech to-day said, with
reference to punishment for Ger
many's crimes, that there was one way
in which the economic weapon could
be used as an instrument of Justice
The Germans had either removed mills
and machinery wholesale from France
and Belgium into Germany, he de-
clared, or had destroyed them, ap-
parently with the deliberate purpose
of thus removing in part the economic
producing power of France and Bel
GUM, counting upon the advantage
which this would give German textile
industry after the war.
"But there is the question of raw
materials" said DR.. Addison. "The
burden of the restoration of de-
stroyed machinery must fall on those
who destroyed it, and it will be within
the power of the Allies to withhold
from Germany cotton and other goods
until the enemy has made good the
machinery destroyed"
