OUR BOYS IN SIBERIA.

Possibly the announcement that Great Brit
ain has decided to send no more troops TO nus
sIa and that she will recall her soldiers now
stationed there as soon as arrangements can be
made for their transportation home. is an Indl-
cation that the Allies have no present intention
Of invading" Russia.
If a similar announcement be made with re-
sDect to American soldiers it will meet with the
hearty endorsement of a great many Callfornia
people members of whose families are now sta
toned in that bleak and unpromlslng part OF
the world Stories of hardships there have not
been reassuring.
To those who are not clear respecting the
duty of the United States in Russia it might
be pointed out that armed forces were sent to
Archangel and Nladivostok as part OF the mlll-
tary campaign against Germany 1t was I'M
portant that valuable military stores IN that
section should not be seized by the Germans.
The German attempt to subdue and take over
certain portions of Russia contained large pos
sibilities for trouble of far-reaching conse-
ouence and it was the purpose of the Allied gov
c.mments to prevent that if possible.
But that situation has been entirely changed
by Germany's defeat and the peculiar emerg-
ency then existing and calling for troops IN that
country has passed.
To make war on the Russian government is
cutie another matter from the purpose actu-
atinr the Allied command when our men, to-
eether with those of our Allies were sent there
Il is true that the present government in Mos
COW some of anarchy and unstable violence
but it does not follow that it becomes our mis-
sion to settle the problems with which Russia
has been struggling these many years
Forty years ago Russia was the land Of the
bomb-thrower and the assassin Of Its rulers.
Possibly it must longer stew in its own Juice,
as disorganized nation the victim of Boshe-
vikism and the Red menace.
Whether or not the world is called upon to
settle Russian internal affairs by force of arms
is a problem not to be determined by mere for
tuitous Circumstance of chance. If we continue
there it should be result of deliberate action
in which the decision should only be reached
after all the factors as they now exist are taken
fully into account.

WA.STING GOOD FUEL.

Bitter criticism is being heard of the policy
Of government officials who have been burning
odd sand ends of lumber and timbers left from
the big hospital constructed at Asheville, n. Z.
On one hand the government SOlemnly
warns the public to conserve fuel and then i'm
rnediately proceeds to wholly disregard this in
junction by such wasteful practices as that
complained Of in North Carolina.
In this connection, it has no doubt occurred
to every thinking person who has Travelled upon
the railroads that the method of burning dis
carded ties and other unused lumber along the
right of way, employed by the railroads since
the earliest days appears like shameful waste
of money
II may be argued by the roads that the stuff
is not worthy of transportation In which case
answer might be made that it could be given
away at the point of origin. To argue that the
old ties do not make hot fire is to argue against
the truth as every traveller knows who has hap
pened TO be in a coach that was stopped for a
few moments opposite a pile of rejected ties
that had been set afire.
We venture the assertion that thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars worth of heat
units have been wasted in this manner The sec
ton crews and thousands Of others living ad-
iacent to the roads would be mighty glad to get
the ties and other discarded timbers if they
might be allowed to take them away.
In our desire to avoid useless waste why not
begin at this practical point?
A WIFE For THE PRINCE.
The English newspapers are busy picking a
wife for the Grown Prince. 1t is hard matter,
because the possibilities are so dreadfully linn
tied Germany formerly the happy hunting
ground Of royalty, is now out Of the question.
Not only would German marriage be 'ver-
boten' for any prince of an allied country, but
the harvest Of royal brides which Central Eu-
rope formerly distributed so generously over the
world has been swept away by the wave Of dem
ocracy
There are seemingly eligible brides in GER
tain allied and neutral countries, but several Of
them are impossible, from the British stand
point because they are Roman Catholics.
In this dilemma the British match makers
are suggesting an unprecedented thing-that
the Crown Prince descend below the ranks Of

BOY SCOUT BOOM.

An increase in membership in Boy Scouts is
expected as an indirect result of the war. That
organization justified its existence in many
ways while the nation fighting for democ-
racy Everybody knows what the Scouts did
in maintaining order at parades, in running er-
rands and carrying messages for welfare organ
zations like the Red Cross and Civilian Relief, In
selling Thrift Stamps and doing all sorts OF
houseto- house canvassing which would have
taken the time of adults if the boys had not been
"on the job
Then, too the health value of the outdoor life
and military training has been made more ap-
parent by the squared shoulders and erect bear
ing of the soldiers who have returned from the
camps.
The Scout laws and the pledge to loyalty and
obedience to properly constituted authority, Ito
help other people at all times" and to keep
physically strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight" to be trustworthy, courteous cheerful,
thrifty, brave and reverent, form fine back
ground for the clean fun and sport of hiking,
tramping, camping out and playing together.
Parents, educators, professional and business
mon all join in praise of the work accomplished
by the Boy Scouts.
With the growth of the membership there
must come a corresponding growth in leader
ship. The president of the organization has
asked the War Department to present the matter
to officers and men discharged from the army.
Many of these soldiers would make ideal Scout
Masters They have the military training. And
the fact that they served in the war would add
not little to their prestige with the boys.

royalty and choose bride from the British no
bility This naturally strikes an American as
the only logical and sensible thing to do at any
time, because it would help to make the English
royal family English. For generations it has
been mostly German. If nation will have kings
why should not those kings be of the same race
as the people they rule?
There is a still more startling innovation sug-
gested by some of the London papers. They pro-
pose that the prince choose an American girl for
his future queen. If he should do so, says the
London Express, 'the enthusiasm on both sides
of the Atlantic would be unbounded, and drama
tic possibilities are opened up"

guna Dam, so that under any circum-
stances if we go to Washington for
aid, we will have a contract that eX-
presses explicitly what kind of an ar
raagement We can make. great
many people have said that the con-
tract does not provide for Federal aid
in financing the contract. 1t does not.
Mr. Lane cannot bind Congress to
any such thing. In Section 5 of the
contract, the contract says: Breads
from contract). He says in the first
place we have to pay the cost. We
have to do that anyway under any ar
rangement The government is not
going to give us this thing, and
am sure that the statements that have
been made regarding the giving up of
the old plan of providing money with
tut interest, is correct, because | am
sure now that the people in Washing
ton now are agreed that that was
mistake in the early projects, and that
after This they are eNina tC demand

nothing but a canal to irrigale the I'm
pcrial Irrigation lands. AS we know.
in Section II Mr.. Lane reserves the
right to enter into other projects for
III
means the mesa lands. We also know
that Mr.. Lane is interested in pro-
viding homes for returning soldiers,
and have been advised that Mr.. Lane
expects to include Imperial Valley in
one of those projects, and that means
that the money that is appropriated
for that purpose will probably be en-
pended for the mesa lands, and when
he does that he will want to enlarge
the canal that brings water into I'M
perial Valley, and necessarily would
come down TO the Imperial District,
and want to enter into negotiations
with US for contract and arrange
ment for his plan of irrigating the
mesa land, so that from that stand
point. | believe we are sure of having
a very definite cooperative agreement
with the Federal government in the
very near future in the development
of that program.

ratified, and it is a very good thing to

The kasers fourth son has gone to work
in an automobile garage. He had better learn
how to drive the hearse. The Hohenzollerns
are going to need that sort of transportation

Some Of those Germans loyal to the Hohen-
