COMPLETE CHAOS IN RUSSIA
Inevitable Anarchy as the Result Of
Insufficient Supplies Of Food
for the People,.

BY far the most terrible toll of the
Russian winter will be taken In the
peasant villages, the home Of nine
tenths of Russa's 1SO,000,00O, Oliver
NJ. Sayler writes in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. The sullen and defiant
muzhik who has planted for himself
and only for himself, hasn't taken in
to account the possibility that superior
force from the city or from his own or
a neighboring village may seize his
grain. When the calamity befalls, an
endless train Of disaster and bloodshed
and starvation will follow in its wake.
Reprisal on some weaker peasant
will be the next step, and from that
the flame will spread to virulent Dor
der warfare with whole villages on
the trail to plumber the grain bins Of
others or intrenched to protect their
own. In some districts, even before l
left, this most cruel form Of civil strife
had broken out.
l contemplated returning from Pet
rograd to Moscow by sleigh overland
in case the German advance envelOped
the railroad outlets. Careful investiga-
ton, however, disclosed the fact that
machine guns, brought home from the
front. were mounted on all the roads
leading into many villages and travel
ers approached them at their peril.

GIVES DEFINITION OF POWER
Being 4 Description Of That Which
Knows No variableness, Nor
Shadow Of Turning.

Power was the beginning. It dates
twofold. Alternately it is rcpose and
effort, alternately growth and birth,
and always progress, Emerson Hough
writes In Pictorial Review.
Readiness and action in one, it Is
both, it is neither, it is either.
The man-made motor Of power purrs
gently on the level, but, opposed by
the activity, it summons itself, rouses
and roars alike Its protest and its
pean.
The God-made river is power, end
less aud renewed, dating back to un-
ccaslng SHOWS on eternal and unchang-
ing hills.
At times, it is SILENT and at times
tempestuous when opposed. Always it
is progress.
No power ever was or ever can be
lost. 1t goes from the primal unit, iE'
to the Monad, and it endures, twofold.
There Is no divorce in the union of
power. The woman mated to the man
ceases to entwine her arms about his
necE.
1t is the strong who give courage
and who offer faith, the weak who are
loose Tipped and unenduring.
In the monogamy Of purpose there is
no wavering. The lion and the eagle
are strong; the rabbit and the guinea
pig are weak.
Power is the law. We love it in it's
calm, fear it in its wrath. Our arms
never cease to embrace it, our souls
never cease to implore 1t.
Ilightfully we reverence it, rightfully
do more than admire it. 1t is law it.
SELF twofold-progress and birth, two
fold.
II is the ancient Of days, knowing
no variableness, neither shadow Of
turning.
II Is the law. It is life!

When Milk Sours.

Milk will sour in any kind Of warm
and moist temperature, and because
just before and during a thunderstorm
the air is generally quite warm and
Moist, 1t is only natural that it should
turn sour. 1t is wrong, however, to
say or think that thunder makes milk
sour. Thunder Is only noise, and
noise cannot do anything but make
itself heard. The fact that it is gen.
orally warm and moist, however, when
IT thunders, coupled with the fact that
these conditions of the air sour milk
very rapidly, has led people to con-
meet the two in their minds and caused
them to fall into the error of believing
that the thunder is responsible for the
change in the milk.

Worlds Greatest Troopship.

One of the devoted women who have
not spared themselves at the emer-
gcncy aid rooms told this story among
the flying needles the other day to
her co-workers. A letter from the
front has brought the intelligence:
A pompous German major had fallen
into the hands Of our valorous Penn
sylvania troops, and after they had
questioned him, he ventured to ask
them for information.
"How many men have you on this
side of the water?" he inquired.
1.-TWO Million" answered young
lieutenant.
"How did you get them over?' was
the incredulous query Of the Hun.
"One boat brought them all over"
was the answer.
The German stared. "How so3
What boat was that?''
The American gave the German a
searching look. "The Lusitania," he
answered, Observation-Disclosures Lead

LET SIGNATURE BE PLAIN
Mr.. Blinkinton Has Many Reasons for
Advising Young Men to Acquire
the Habit Of LegbiIity.

II Ikea man who writes a legible
hand" said Mr.. Blinkinton, land l
should be inclined to trust man who
wrote his signature so plainly that it
was Enthusiastically clear in each and
every letter.
'"The best letter of recommendation
that l could receive for young man
would be one written by himself in
which each and every word, including
his signature, was absolutely legible
and clear, the signature being of es-
pecial Importance. An older man
might perhaps be pardoned for slur-
ring his signature; famous man
might write a signature that was
quite undecipherable in itself, but
that was known because 1t was asso-
ciated with him in tle public mind,
but young man or man publicly
unknown should write his name so
that it can be read.
Gan absolutely clear signature
means that the writer Of it likes his
own name and is ready to stand back

"When see a signature like that
I feel that the writer of it is stand

fair and square in the eye. feel that
l know where to find him and that
can trust him. A young man could
have very few chara cteristics or hab-
its more helpful to him than that Of
writing an absolutely plain sigma

RECORD PRICE FOR SPEECH
chauncey Depew Tells Of Occasion
When a Few Spoken Words Were
Worth Much Money.

In commenting upon the death of
Mrs. Russell Sage, Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, who knew Mrs. Sage for 10 years
and was an intimate associate of her
husband for longer period, told how
he made a $12O000 speech at her sug.
gestion.
Mr.. Depew stated that although Mr..
Sage accumulated a vast fortune he
rarely gave away any money, adding
that the reason for this was the con.
fidence which he reposed in the judg-
ment Of his wife as an able and ex-
sperienced philanthropist. He said that
years ago he received letter from
Mrs. Sage inviting him to make an
address at the Emma Willard school,
at Troy, N. Y, upon the occasion OF
the donation by Mr.. Sage to the school
of large sum of money for use In
erecting a building. This was the
school Of which Mrs. Sage was q grad
uate.
II replied" said Mr.. Depew, "that
I was so overwhelmed with engage
ments to speak that it would be I'M
possible for me to accept the invita-
ton. In answer received by special
messenger a note from Mrs. Sage,
saying: Russell is going to give
100000. He will not give one cent
unless you make the speech. This is
Russcll's first excursion into this field.
Don't YOU think he ought to be er>
couragcd?
"NIy immediate reply was: I will
make that Speech"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AN ESTABLISHED FACT
Peace Delegates Are Agreed Thai l'*aeue

Paris jan 13-The league Of nations now be
sidered as an established fact Premier Clemenceau,
Premier Lloyd George Premier Orlando pledged to
support President Wilson's basic ideas in this regard
ly behind this scheme The peace delegates agreed
that the league must be established if future to
be prevented and that the league must be the most import
ant question at the peace conference. There is still
discussion in regard to details but these expected to
be soothed out in the conference Of the associated pow
resumed today.
President Wilson's plan phole is unsatisfactory to the
French they think that it does not provide sufficient
economic penalties for Germany. They say that proba-
tonary inclusion of Germany is not fair it would en-
able them to start up their unchanged industries in
petition to France and Belgium whose industrial plants
wrecked by the Germans themselves. Clemenceau
is understood to favor league composed of the victorious
nations until the central powers fulfill the provisions they
must sign at the peace conference.
