Hundreds Of British ex-ofiicers are
seeking new fields in which to fight
British soldiers Of fortune promise tc
be as common on the continent as they
were in the days of the Thirty Years
war.
Russia at present holds out the
greatest attractions for the adven.
turers. After north Russia come
Esthonia, Poland and Czecho- Slovakia.
All foreign governments engaged In
small wars or in licking their armies
into shape are offering posts to demob-
ilized British officers.
On the books Of the Russian en-
bassy are the names Of more than 100
officers who have volunteered to serve.
The demand Is for those with technical
knowledge who can act as instructors.
At the moment the only front to which
the Russian government is sending Of
ficers is to north Russia, so recently
evacuated by British forces.
Shipping Difficulties.
Shipping facilities are surrounded
with difficulties, but they are being OBJ
tanned. On that northern front, before
the British left, the bolshevists sought
to lure British officers to their service.
A pamphlet was issued offering them
large salaries.
Russian authorities are still consid-
ering the matter of pay. As the mat
ter is arranged at present British off,
GERS, excepting in case of flying officers,
will receive the Russian pay Of their
rank, which in most cases Is hardly
more than $50 month. The Esth0nian
government has engaged several Off
GERS to conduct aerial operations and
their payIis even higher than that in
the British air forces.
The drawback is that the adventurer
is paid in the currency of the country
for which he fights and it may or may
not be redeemable in future years.
North Russian government rubles, I'M
til the British forces left, were guar
anteed by Great Britain. The cur
rency Of Gen. Yudenitch and Of the
southern armies in Russia was hardly
in the same category but chances Of
redeeming their money are not deter
ring the seekers after war.
Poland In Field.
Poland is newly arrived in the field
Of competition for foreign officers and
positions as instructors are being Of
fered to demobilized British officers.
The monthly pay is at the rate Of 800
marks for captain and 900 marks for
q lieutenant. Thirty days leave in
England year and assurance Of med
lcal care and assistance ere included
IN the conditions. The Polish war /
office has opened special department
1t Warsaw to deal with the affairs of
S0reign officers.
A visit to the Czecho-Slovak legation
n London reveals that twenty ex-of-
icers of the British army have applied
% Prague for service in the Czech
lrmy. The trouble with all foreign
governments at this moment is their
ack of ready funds, but that is an old
tory. Soldiers Of fortune were con-
inuously impecunious. South America 4
nay provide better field for the ad-
'enturers. Mexican armies have had
nd still have many British officers
Ighting for them.

| have taken a lot of money our of my
town and yours, for wildcat stocks
in oil, orange groves, banana farms
and eucalyptus trees. 1t is wonder
full what kick people can put about
high taxes after they have lost a
bunch of money in some wildcat
speculation where they just shut
their eyes and handed over their
good coin to a stranger. The time of
the year is pust approaching when
the smooth fellow comes laong and
opens an office in town and paves the
way to relieve few prominent men
of some money in exchange for stock
in his scheme and then, follow a
campaign among well-to-do farmers
who buy, because the prominent men
did. He overlooks the fact that
some of these prominent men did
not pay the same price that others
do. Some promoters actually give
away stock to few leaders, or let
them have it at ridiculously low
prices in order to use their names.
The state took a long step in the
direction of protecting people
against worthless stocks and against
buying watered stock, when they en-
acted the blue-sky law. 1t requires
every promoter to get a permit from
the state capital before he starts to
selling stock in Idaho, and each per-
son Offering to sell stock should dis
play the permit to show that his
scheme has state endorsement. Fail
ure to do this when asked for it,
should be taken as evidence that
there is something wrong with his
proposition. So long as people will
buy without seeing the permit, such
a law is little protection to them.
The press of the state could perform
a great service to its readers to bring
such matters to their attention. and
stop one of the drains upon them
that is running into millions. High
taxes are serious, but taxes are not
the only thing people need give at
tention to to keep from coming to
want.
Reversing Foolish Economy
Successful men usually spend
money to keep down losses or oper-
ating expenses, and the principle
holds good in the management of
state institutions, but something
called politics often cuts it off in
practice. For example, there was a |
time when the dairy herd at the |
penitentiary could not be kept in the
pasture with any degree of certainty
because the posts were rotted off |
and the fence in tumble-down con-
lition. The cows would get out,
md there was the resultant loss and
annoyance. Rigid economy said it
