The militia idea is popular, but Is consid- cred idealistic.
 The German army of interior de- fense, which probably numbers around q hundred thousand men, or possibly few thousand more, is an expensive proposition. Volunteers have to be paid well to keep them from being won over by the Spartacans, who offer more money. Food and equipment is good.
 The new army has rather slack discipline, and none of the old Prus- sian snap Is seen when officers ap- pear. Familiarity and almost inso- lence are seen on every hand. The German trooper has changed q lot with the revolution, and if appearances are at all indicative, the government forces in Germany today are not to be feared outside Germany.

0msk.-Indisputable evidence of the massacre by the bolshevilii of more than 2000 civilians .n and near the town of Ga has been obtained by Messrs. Simmonds and Emerson and Dr. Rudolph Teusler of the American Red Cross. who have just returned from Perm, Osa and other re-occupied Russian territory. Approximately 800 persons were killed at Osa and 1,500 in the surrounding districts.

Why Gasoline Boiling Points Must Form a Continuous Chain

~'A~eC@ 0A AAA o ~oAAIAA0OuS ~k1d1k1
 Every motorist wants only such gasoline as will give easy starting and full power. Really efficient performance can only be had from gasoline with a full and continuous chain of boiling points.
 Low boiling points give easy starting and high boiling points full power. The low doiling points start the explosion quickly. The gradually rising series of boiling points form the connecting links between higher and lower, just like a fuse, giving ever increasing power and force to the explo- sion.
 With both high and low boil ing points connected by grad ually rising series, everything needed in good gasoline is pro- duced.
 Red Crown is a we'll known straight-distilled gasoline with the full and continuous chain of boiling ponts necessary to gye best results. Mixtures al- ways have holes in the power chain.

WRITES FROM CHICAGO
Chicago, Illinois April 19, 1919

Apf1l l9, 1913 Dear Editor:
 Returning soldiers passing through Chicago the early part of the past week mourned, Just as rainy as over there " For Chicago is experiencing the kind of April which 'brings May flowers" The groups of khaki clad figures standing on the wet shining walks in froEt of the various railroad stations could but stare with dull eyes at the ragged roof-line of smoke hung homely buildings and say, "So this is Chicago !"
 But the returning Chicago boys breathed with eager nos trils the air of Chicago, sooty and smoky and heavy though it was. It was Chicago air.
 To both kinds of soldiers I wanted to say, "Don'tyou want to come out to Arizona?" 1 that is where I'll soon be, where the sky is sunny and the air is real and where nature has clad ev- eIything with uni,,ue beauty Now the washes are running blg;" the cattle are coming back, the prairie dogs are skip ping and birds are everywhere. And it's home.
 But glad Easter is promising better things and better weath- CT to Chicago, too. I wonder whether those who fixed the time of the Victory Bonds thought of the appropriateness of choosing the very period of the Resurrection. For after time of horror, dread and su- preme sacrifice, we are coming back home to our own America. Coming back in every sense of the word. Not only the pre- parations for floating the Vic tory Loan here, details of which I hope to report to you next week, but lesser events show that we as a people. are returning to our natural, healthy American frame of mind. The war was a bitter necessity and wonderfully we as a people responded to the call and showed what we were made of. But now the war is over and we can turn to other matters, we can even burlesque what we gritted our teeth at last year. And it's this spirit of .good-natured joking about the horrors of the past, which is reflected in the vaudevilles. the streets and the homes. We are coming back to our natural plane.
 Next week, then, a descrip- ton of Michigan Avenue trans formed for the Victory Loan, sham battles in the air. tanks, whippets, etc., etc.
 Sincerely.
