GERMANY STILL SQUiRMS.

Some in Germany still figure that that country has done nothing so ter riblc that it ought to be called very severely to task. The impression seems to be that it ought to be given some such punishment as a slap on the wrist and a warning. and allowed to return to the conditions that exist cd before the war that it might ad- here to the same sort of principles and indulge in the same practices.
 This is to be gained from an ad- dress that has been made by President Ebert of the German government in which he inquired, When in the course of 20o0 years was ever a peace offered a defeated people which so completely contemplated it's physical, moral and intellectual paralysis as do the terms enunciated at Versailles ?'' President Ebert overdraws the situa- ton for Germany is not put in that position. It is being called upon to pay only what it is able to, but it is certain that it's responsibility is not being overlooked. There was never a time when a nation ever attempted 10 do to others what Germany thinks is now being done to it until Ger many set out to dominate the world It has made it's own bed and now il must occupy it. yet it is being treared with far more justice than would have been the case had it been victorious Hitherto less consideration has beer given to the bringing about of perma nent peace. It will be surprising in- decd if it succeeds now. but inc chance is not being lost nevertheless to teach Germany a lesson and give any others that might desire to fol-
 low in it's footsteps something to pon- der over. Germany doesn't seem tc realize yet that it made it's mistake at tho opening of the war. or if it does it doesn't like the idea of paying fol | it.

THE DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW.

Not a small amount of interest is manifested throughout the country re- rardiuE the action that will be taken in congress concerning the repeal of tho daylight saving law. This matter has been brought up again and it re- mains to hc seen whether a waste pre- ventiou piece of legislation will be abolished.
 The only opposition to the law comes from the farmers and not all inc farmers at that It is of course unfortunate that there are those who through their particular lines of effort and the dependence upon the serving of daily trade are somewhat incon- vcnicnccd, but this does not apply to all of them. Such inconvenience as they experience does not by any means offset the benefits that are obtained by the rest of the people in the addi- uonal hour Of daylight that they get and the saving that is effected through the reduction of lighting ex- pcnses. Apparently the economic in- jury that would be caused by return ing to the old basis is not getting the attention that is deserved.
 Great efforts have been made to eliminate waste. Hundreds of mil lions of dollars are saved each year through the operation of this law and even though the war is over the coun- try is still under such great expense that 1t cannot fail to give considera- ton to such a chance to save, while there is benefit through the extra recrnational opportunities that cannot be overlooked. We arc in no position to plunge into the wastes of the past

 And then the m onitor chugeed off in the direction of the bolsheyik ship
 around the bend in the river. It didn t
 find the enemy fleet. and it certainly
 was long way from Ketlass. when a bolshevik land battery. masked in the
 woods on the river bank, dropped a big shell into the monitor. putting it out of commission and sending it back to Beresniki"
 It was in this episode of the monitor that young British naval surgeon
 performed one of the feats of bravery and self-denial that are continually
 taking place in this war. With one eye shot out and with blood nearly blind ing the other. this young surgeon calmly and successfully attended to the monitors wounded until he fell exhausted.
 | On the river our forces had reached Beresniki, on the railroad a little com
 mand of French had battled it's way | nearly 100 miles to Oboserskaya. and in the swamp tundra between the | railroad and the river another party | including some of the American sail 1 ors, was lost in the mud, when rein 1 forcements in the shape of three trans i ports loaded with American infantry

IN THE DAYS NEWS

Early in the war Libau paid the penalty for fs advantageous loca-t ton on the Baltic by being shelled and taken by the German warships. and now it is a fighting center of Let's, Germans and Bolsheviki, be- cause of the immense hintcrland served through it's ice-free harbor.' says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society, in connection with the recent fighting about the city.
 With a population comparable with that of such thriving American cities as San Diego Cal. or Dallas. Texas, and fiourishing factories of it's own to swell the volume of it's exports ,garnered through its rail way connection radiating to Khar- llov. Orel and Moscow, Libau was a Baltic port of prime importance be- fore the war.

year, that the traffic is increasing throughout the country and that na- tive born Americans are the leaders in this demoralizing habit.
 It isn't very edifying report and instead of betterment in the condi- tions since the adoption of the Harri- son narcotic law the tendency seems to have been in the other direction. There can be little question but what the throwing of increased light upon the narcotic situation by the adoption of this law has resulted in bringing to attention more generally the con- ditions that exist. If such is the case it can hardly be said that the law has failed to accomplish all that was ex- pected of it. There was certainly need for the enlightenment and if the pro- visions of the law are such that it is impossible to deal with the situation that has been revealed it A perfectly evident that they should be stiffened One can hardly see the wisdom of the argument that because the law has failed, even though the law is considered drastic. that it's provisions should be frightened. The very fact that there are underground activities and illegal traffic for the purpose of catering at a handsome profit to the addicts and encouraging others simply means that greater efforts must be put forth to deal with the situation as it should be dealt with. The country cannot afford to dodge the danger ol the drug evil, or expect that it will grow less by means of less severe laws
