B. P. o. E. President VIII
Lead SAVINGS Drive for
$5,O00,O00.

Sale Of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates in the
state OF Oregon has been placed
entirely In the hands Of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks. The
state body Of EIks has taken over man.
agement Of the thrift and savings cam
paign as volunteer patriotic service
to the state and nation.
This announcement has just been
made by Harry G.. Allen, head Of the
Elks' state organization, and G. s.
jackson, state director of the govern
ment savings organization. 1t is esti-
mated that existing War Savings So.
cieties and school children throughout
Oregon can be counted on to purchase
100000 in War Savings Stamps be-
fore January 1, which will leave ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 to be subscribed
through efforts of the fraternal organi-
zation, which has membership OF
1900 in the state.
Mr.. Allen offered the services Of the
great fraternal order under authority
given state organizations OF the order
ct the national convention in Atlantic
City, which adopted resolutions pledg
ing active support Of all members to
the government thrift campaign. He
has obtained leave Of absence from his
business and will devote all his per

to organizing sales forces among the
subsidiary lodges.
During the war; said Mr.. Allen.
''the order of Elks has felt it privi-
lege to place at the disposal of our coun-
try the services of its members. There
were several thousand Oregon Elks un-
der arms, and those of us, who were not
privileged to wear the olive drab, the
navy blue or the uniform Of the ma
rines, have taken pride in meeting the
responsibilities of war finance and par
ticipating In all other patriotic move
ments."

1T is only Germany who was inter-
ested in dividing Russia. Great and
united. she is dangerous for Germany.
Policy ever since 1854 to crush Russia
by dividing her. Do not the allies
know all this and that the idea OF
Ukrainia's independence Is q German
scheme? The allies are prepared to
recognise, besides Finland and the
Independence OF Esthonia. Lithuania, q
Ukrainia and Caucasus. and by that
act they absolutely cut Russia or
from the seaports OF the Black and
the Baltic seas. Now the allies con-
template giving Murmansk. the only
ice-free port we have in north Rus
sia during the winter, to Finland. II
you will examine this only from tho
economical point OF view. you will see
that this secession of districts de-
prives Russia OF her usual and nat
ural pathways and ports Of exporta-
ton. I. of course. exclude political
Independence of Russian Poland.
which was declared by Russia in the
first years of the war.
Our exports. as mentioned before.
especially Of rural grain and wood
products. are carried on across these
borders. The last statistical data
show 81 per cent Of all Of our exports
being carried over the European bor-
der land then over the Caucasian
Black sea border. The recognition of
the independence OF these provinces
will decrease very noticeably Russia's
contribution to the world market of
I Europe. and our connection Will be-
come uncertain and indirect.

II do not want to say that these
other ahnVa
tnces would not have autonomy, but
| they must be parts OF Russia, self
governing, but dependent. The fate
of these can be determined by the
Russian people themselves. and by
no others, in the national assembly,
which is responsible for the disposal
of the land which from time imme-
mortal has belonged to Russia.
"Of course. being deprived OF her
power on account OF her internal trou-
bles. Russia at present Is not in q
position to protest against such acts
OF injustice. Different factions have
used the present difficult situation in
! Russia in order to carry out various

try into many small Independent and
autonomous parts.
With the future like that, the Rus
Sian nation will never be reconciied.

Russia Will find way whereby she
can throw OF the milestone which
some unwittingly would put around
her neck 1t might be at the price Of
some great sacrifice, but Russia will
rise up again and will restore her po-
lfttca1 unity in her struggle for her
national regeneration. Realization of
| this possibility gives US hope, know

that the grave inquirer would be "as

After passing through the terrors
of bolshevism, Russia must now en-
ergitically SGT to work to restore her
political unity and her ruined ma
tional industry and trace. according
to Woldemar de Sveshnikoff. a Rus
sian lieutenant of artillery. who is
now in Washington
Russia's nearness to liberation
from bolshevism. however. brings
her close to another internal trouble
because some of the provinces are
demanding that the allies recognize
their independence, which course,
Lieut.. de Sveshnikoff holds. would alb
solutely ruin Russia's national trade.
Great Productive Power.
"The productive power of Russia
Is. of course. immensely great"
Lieut.. de Sveshnikoff says. know
with US their savings, and they have
not been afraid to lend to country
which is easily capable Of paying her
debts. It is true that If any coun-
try recovers early and rapidly from
this war 1t will be Russia. because
of her unlimited natural resources.
Russia is one great extensive eco
nomical organization. with almost
limitless possibilities for development,
being similar in that respect to the
United States, but break into this or
eanization of Great Russia by recog-
nfzing the independence Of the diff
ferent districts. thereby taking away
Great Russia's various seaports situ-
ated in these dependencies, and you
break the backbone Of the country.

Reforming English Anthem.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Braver than a long line OF royal
forebears Is George OF England. He
has tackled the job Of reforming the
national anthem. of which Gilbert
wrote:
Though Its words but imperfectly rhyme.
And the devil himself couldn't scan them:
With cemposure polite he endures day and
That ifiiterate national anthem.
That satirist went further: he as
sumed that the illiteracy must be
tolerated forever. OF the kings
troubles he said: .'One comes in the
shape he can never escape. that i'm
placable national anthem" George
defies pessimism and defles Gilberts
forecast. He's going to escape or
wreck all traditions trying to do so.-
