What kind of religious and charita-

gage in?
It's forms are many and varied. To
the limit of its capacity The Saliva
lon Army opens it's doors to every
human being who may need help. No
conditions-creedal, ethical, or racial
are made. Real need is the so.,.
condition, It's motto, "The World for
Cod" indicates the chief end toward
which it labors. It's motives are ev-
crywhere and always religious ana
spiritual. It's purposes include tn.
FEEDING OF the hungry, the clothing of
the ragged, the housing of the home
less, the cleansing of the unclean.
The many forms of social relief eff

OF The Salvation Army, who are pos

HOW TO TREAT THE BOL.SIIEVIKl

In an article entitled Your Task"

Newspaper, the following good ad.
vice is given the returning soldiers
eve want to say just Il few words
to your soldiers who will soon go
home and be soldiers no more, at
least not soldiers of war but soldiers
of industry.
There is n certain amount of un-
rest at home in the States and various
organizations here and there are be-
ginning to strike. Under the cover OF
these strikes the Bolshcviks and l.
w. WIS are coming forth from their
holes where they have originally
skulked during the war, and in the
name of labor are committing cX-
cesses.
Certain sections of labor are max
ing demands and rejecting the Gov
ernments mediation. Certain sections
of capital are sitting pat and when
the moment presents itself lowering
wages. This union is demanding and
comforting. That union is comforting
and threatening. They finally threat
en- drastic action and strike.

PUTTING ON THE ECONOMIC
SCREWS
(Richmond Evening Journal

(Rlcnmond Evening Journal
How to put into effect the pro-
posed economic blockade of Germany,
in case the Ebert government re-
fuses to sign the peace treaty, IS
rapidly taking form. 1t is proposed
that all contiguous neutrals shall
bind themselves not to trade with
Germany either by re-eXporting i'm
portations from the allied countries
or by importing anything from Ger
many. 1t win be recalled that under
the old guarantees by the ncutrals
re-export was forbidden, but the latt-
err were allowed to import from Ger
many coal and other necessities,
which the allies, because of the short
age of shipping, were unable to
furnish to these countries. AS q re-
suit, Scandinavia, Holland and Swift
Zerland did thriving business with
Germany, particularly in coal. Since
the armistice, this trade has been
greatly augmented. If the neutrals
consent to seal their borders to the
Germans, the allies argree to supply
the coal and all other commodities
they now get from Germany. Hol
land, probably, will "buck" On the
proposed arrangement, owing to the
strong pro-German sentiment in the
government, but it will avail little,
since the allies are well able to main
tain strong enough patrol of the
borders of Germany to effect vigo-
rous blockade. OF course, that would

IT would seem SO. The stamp salcS
have been falling lower and love

to only about $9,500,000 for the en-

and in January $70,996,0 900, while for
each of the last six months OF 1918,
the sales averaged over $780, 900, 900.
The question is does the difference
between $l00,000,000 and $4,000 900
represent the extent that the interest
