feited, it is probable that the amount of
counterfeits is nearly if not quite equal
to the genuine. Therefore the Soviets
are not likely to run short of funds, such
as they have, for some time They may
have to establish maximum prices on ser :
vices and on commodities, and to issue
an order that everybody shall take ruble
notes for necessities, or suffer death.
There seems to be but one fly in the Rus
sian financial ointment and that is the
fact that there is a shortage of paper and
colors in Russia, and the production of the
substitute for money has therefore fallen
from some 3, 600, 600, 600 rubles per month
to about 1, $50, 600, 600 per month. 1t will be
difficult for Lenine and Trotsky to find
country where Russian rubles,. of the
sort in use, can be exchanged for paper
and eolors or for anything else of value.
Under these financial conditions the
Soviet government cannot last long.

Congress convened last Monday It

country if it had assembled two months
ago. The last Congress left great &C
of it of great Importance. The end of the
fiscal year is only few weeks in the fu-
ture and there are scores of matters which
should be carefully considered and decided
before that time. Aside from the con-
sideration of the treaty and of the cove
nant of the League of Nations, there are
the problems to be solved relating to a
speedy return to peace conditions. The
time has arrived when neither the Presi-
dent nor any other official, high or low,
should be allowed to appropriate and ex-
pend money for public use without au-
thority to do SO. As soon as measures
are perfected for meeting all practical
and economic needs of the government,
searching investigations should be under
taken, and no man guilty of graft should
escape punishment. There should be no
attempt TO interfere with President Will

gress any plans the President may sub

OUR NEW SOLDIERS

One thousand officers and men, who
will take the place of as many troops
with the American Army of Occupation
in Germany, have sailed for Brest. These
volunteers, the first of fifty thousand
volunteers to 60 abroad so that the men
who have been in action may have the
privilege of an early return home, are
mostly under the age of 80 years and
have been recruited within the past six
weeks in the Middle and Far West Most
of the officers were in service in camps
in America when the Armistice was sign
ed and are on their first voyage to France.
There were several veterans, however.
Private Jack Taylor, Scotchman, served
three years with the Highlanders, was
wounded six times and wears the Croix
De Guerre. Private Henry Tralone, a
Belgian, served three years with King
Albert's troops and he said he was going
back into service because he was not at
home elsewhere

DECIDEDLY VIGOROUS.

In Victory Loan address before the
Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Mayor
Ole Hanson of Seattle. denounced the
policy pursued by the government towards
anarchism and the l. w. W. as "a SKIM
milk, weak, vacillating and chaneeable"
one and pronounced warning of wide
spread, national effort to overthrow the
government and society by violence. He
declared the government was ION the
wrong track in starting conferences in
stead of cemeteries in dealing with the
l. w. W." and Sin singing of brotherly
love and turning loose these enemies of
society"
AS to the lately revealed bomb plot in
which he himself was one of the intend
ed victims, the mayor said:
II trust Washington will buck up and
for life all the anarchists in the country. "
Revealing great emotion in his subject,
he added, eff the government doesn't
clean them up, l will III give up my
mayorship and start through the country.
We will hold meetings and have hanging
places" He declared he believed the l.
W. W. was at the bottom of the late
bomb plots.
The conspiracy to overthrow this gov
eminent is widespread. 1t permeates
every State in the union. The /. W. W.
have followers everywhere, he continued.

kERENKI.

This is the popular name given to Rus
sian money with which Lenine and Trot-
sky are carrying on business. 1t is most
ly issued in small notes of 20 and 40 rubles.
When Russia was solvent the gold ruble
was the Russian standard anti of c, r.
rency and was worth about 81 cents, but
the Bolsheyik paper ruble has nothing in
common with the old monetary standard
except in name. These paper notes have
neither number nor signature and nobody
knows or can ascertain how many of them
have been issued. They are printed in
large sheets like postage stamps EXCEPT
that the edges are not perforated When
one goes to market he takes a pocketful
of these, if he can get them, and tears of
as many as necessary from one of these
sheets. 1t is estimated that about so, OOO,-

the so called government and owing to

GOOD ADVICE TO FATHERS
By Martin Il. Brumbaugh, Governor o
Pennsylvania.

One of the best men | ever knew gave
to this country three splendid sons, loyal,
capable and conscientious. once asked
him how he managed to do it. He said:
II have always made my boys my COM
panions In the intimate comradeship
of father and son there arose the occasion
to teach the boys what it is to be really
fine American and a Christian gentleman
The fathers wise procedure made three
eminent citizens of his sons.
The strength of nation lies in its
spiritual forces, not in its material gains,
and the great agencies that conserve
spiritual ideals are the home, church and
the school. Unfortunately the home,
where most of this should be done, really
does the least. All parents holding love
for children and country will endeavor to
perform their most important duty of
maintaining and imparting high ideals,
for in the coming days as never before
we must give intelligent guidance to our
children
My own father, after church on Sunday
afternoons, often accompanied his three
boys to the mountains or forests. There
in the cool and silence he gave US many
suggestions that have ripened into ines
timable good in the years that have come
and gone since he can no longer walk
us. We do not see him, but we do feel
his presence and gratefully follow his fine
teachings.
l urge all fathers to have personal and
intimate converse with their sons and
this can be done from the time they are
tiny fellows Impress lofty ideals of duty
to God and country. Teach the value of
the great cardinal virtues of cour tesy, re-
liability and humility, without which life
is mockery.

LET'S HEAR THE TRUTH.

There has been much discussion relat-
ing to alleged injustice by courts martial
in the army. Secretary Baker has re-
peatedly stated that no injustice has pre-
vailed. On the other hand Col. S. T.
Ansell, former acting Judge advocate
general has brought about an investiga-
ton, and has had called to his attention
the case of Charles Crassel of Ohio, who
was a soldier This young man is in
prison at Atlanta serving 10 years. SEN
tence. He says 1--WE worked in the hot
sun from 7 a. m. to D. m. and then had
two hours drill with rs pounds of stone
on our backs and then we were ordered to
run about 800 yards at double quick to
supper" He says he was so weak he
could not obey and for this reason he was
contaminated and sentenced. OF course
the truth or the falsity of this young
mans statement can easily be established.
If it can be shown to be true, the wrong
man has, in this case, gone to prison, and
the wrong man has been compelled to
dill for two hours with rs pounds of
stone on his back. Pitiless publicity should
be given to this matter. The people of
this country want the investigation to
proceed. They also want to know if it
is fact that northern soldiers who were
awaiting being sent to France, were work.

ton Of southern highways, at $50 a month
while negro laborers were working on the

81 so per day. If this is the fact, as
charged, the government will have to
make up to the soldiers payroll equal to
that of the negroes. But as we under
stand it our boys were not drafted to
work building roads in Virginia, at least
that was not the understanding as to their
duties. We do not have full credence in
the above charges but the investig alton
should go on without fear, favor or Sec

MAINE APPLES IN ENGLAND

C. E. Tibbetts of Exeter shipped April
9, to G. R. Cooper, Liverpool, England,
by his Boston agent Arthur Miller, 81
barrels of Ben Davis apples, rs No. and
six No. 2.
Just three weeks later, April 80, he re-
ceived a check for 1888 81, or net return
of 49, 80 per bbl at the loading station,
Corinna. The original account sales fol-
lowed the cable and was received May
IL. This stated that the apples sold for
the highest price that the British govern
ment allows to be paid for apples at the
present time, viz: $16lO per barrel for
both grades.
Both Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Miller spoke
in high praise of the wonderfully good
condition in which the fruit landed so
late in the season.

of newspaper, had little or no knowledge
of naval equipment and affairs. While he
has been secretary he has seen ry few
war vessels because ours were on the
other side of the Atlantic Now that the

from him was that he was inspecting the

PERHAPS PREMATURE.

The Maine State branch of the League
to Enforce Peace is to hold a meeting in
Portland May %, for popular ratification
of the League of Nations Covenant. The
convention will be addressed by ex-Presi-
dent Taft, DR.. Lowell, president of Har-
ward university and several other dis
tinguished speakers. Similar conventions
are to be held in IA or more other States
Before this propaganda makes any further
Roadway would it not be advisable to
ascertain what the official text of the
covenant of the League of Nations ISL

ment in which the covenant is so blended
with the Peace Treaty that the two can
not be separated without destroying the

before discussing it. George Creel, the
official censor and elaborator, may have
done it. If so, who can tell how much

|. Less than a year ago Count Room of
Germany laid down demands upon which
Germany would insist before an armistice
would be granted to the Allies. These
demands were Endorsed by Erzeberger.
Tirpitz and other German leaders, almost
without exception, were applauded by
the German press and people, and were
as follows:
Annexation of Belgium.
independence of Flanders
Annexation of the entire Flanders coast,
including Calais.
Annexation of the Briey and Longwy
Basins and the Toul, Belfort and Verdun
regions eastward.
Restitution to Germany of all her cclo-
MES, including Kai-chau.
Great Britain to cede to Germany such
naval bases and coaling stations as Ger
many desires.
Great Britain must return Gibraltar to
Spain, cede its war fleet to Germany, re-
store Egypt to Turkey and the Suez Canal
to Turkey.
Greece must be re-established under
former King Constantine.
Austria and Bulgaria will divide Serbia
and Montenegro
Great Britain, France and the United
States must pay all of Germany's war
costs, the indemnity being minimum of
S45, 900, 900, 000 They also must agree to
deliver raw materials Immediately.
France and Belgium are to remain &C.
cupied at their expense until the COIL
ditions are carried out.
These were the terms of Germany,
written with pen of iron and craven
on the tablet of their hearts," at a time
when they expected to be in position to
dictate. 1t is now fully realized by them
that Germany, not the Allies, is to pay
for the war. Germany, the braggart. is
now wilmer when not blusterer The
whole nation is shocked by the terms
which mete out to them the measure
! which they proposed to impose upon
others. They have said they will not
sign the treaty, but they know they must
sign or starve. Therefore they will sign,
but with this mental reservation, ga
treaty is scrap of paper" Nobody will
. expect Germany to fulfil the terms of
this or any other treaty unless she is
compelled to do so. We may as we'll
make our plans for the future with this
fact in view.
