Closeup of Northcliffe.
(Wall Street Journal )

Northclife is not the ambitious scheming type of would naturally associate with the builder of from 50 to 100 publications. To personally his predominating characteristics appear loyalty and strong of justice. He is dictatorial because energetic he has done enough things the world to have manifested bad judgment in some.
 When asked him concerning a certain course as affecting his circulation, he promptly replied "I don't ask anybody to subscribe to papers or read them. publish them for what think is right, and other people may read them burn them"
 These sentences, think, reflect the well to succeed Lloyd George. I don't for a moment be- lieve it. He is born-andb n- bone journal ist, seeker for the truth in news, dsseminator of facts with integrity and patriotism.
 He owns 55 per cent in the corporation controlling his publications and sometimes little more, as minority ownership changes. But his brother, asso- ciated with him. is far richer.
 For many years Northcliffe's income proba- bly $2 000 000 Of late 1t doesn't him In the least that it has not been half that Like all journalists he has interest in the truth in the expression of truth than he has any personal profits or honors

 In Paris the Government may be overturned with bon mot that shakes the boulevards Clemenceau is said to have thus overturned six Governments each with sentence of condemnation.
 But Northcline goes upon the battle field himself and instead of scrapping with shrapnel, lines up with big guns for the high explosives and politically and for the Empire he fights. not to hurt but to kill that which is false.

CONTRASTED VIEWS.

President Wilson indicated striking difference between his view of a league of nations and th views of those who oppose the idea when in his ad dress at the University of Paris he said:
 My conception of league of nations is just this-that it shall operate the ganized moral force of throughout the world and that whenever wherever wrong and aggression planned contemplated this searching light of conscience will be turned upon them, and men, everywhere. will ask What the purposes that you hold in your heart against the world?'
 Just little exposure will settle most questions. If the Central Powers had dared to discuss the purposes of this for fortnight it would have happened. And if should be, they forced to discuss it for year the would have been nconceivable."
 Against this conception of organized moral forc' stands the conception of physical force. les organized and exercised through buffer states" al dances and secret compacts with the conscious or ganzaton of moral force left out of consideration

 German politician, speaking to the Associated Press correspondent in Berlin the other day, said:
 ''If had 60 900 of fat I could overlastingy Quelch Boshevsm in Germany. If l had some cans of condensed milk in addition I could set any form of government here that wished"
 Cynical but true. Hunger is the foundation or Boshevsm. Remove the threat of famine and the Red superstructure falls into dust. Well-fed people are contented people, and contented people arc not in the habit of leaving their comforts to crowd un- der banners of anarchy
 hungry man, the other hand will join any movement that promises relief, matter how fan tastically vague the promise.
 We hope that German politician gets his fat. We don't care so much about his condensed milk program. Boshevik Germany will be a bad thing for Germany and bad thing for Europe. and the new America cannot long remain unaffected by conditions in the Old World
 The greatest problem facing the world today, is the prevention of starvation in Europe.
 A contented world will listen to reason. starv- ing world will hearken only to the voices of those who promise food The Reds are holding before the eyes of the prolearat the vision of bread and meat Let organized civilization deliver the meat and bread and thus with move kill Bolshevism and bring the world back to sanity

EQUALIZATION OF INDUSTRY FAILS
 TOTALLY IN RUSSIA

BOSTON, Jan. 9.-Reliable ihfor- nation from Russia shows that so- cialization of industry there .is . complete failure. In almost all the 513 mills and factories controlled by the state, expenses have consid- erably exceeded receipts.

OOO,0O0,000 roubles to factories un- der its control. Technical experts assert that the Russian industry has been crippled for many years to come by Bolshevist regime.

Luke Mcluke Says

There are a lot of men in the world who would rather spend $2 for a new shirt than 20 cents for the laundry.
 When two neighbor men go out on a razoo each of their wives know that it was the other woman's hus- band who took her husband out.
 Some girls may have been born with silver spoons in their mouth. But, judging from the size of the slots in their faces of other girls, they must have been born with sil- yer soup ladies in their mouths.
 The trouble with having a million dollars is that you never know when some lawyer is going to notify you that you have proposed to and been accepted by some horse-faced woman you never have met.
 The reason why girl insn't afraid to climb fence when there is a man around is because she would be if she were built differently.
 There is a use for everything in this world. Even the buttons on a mans coat sleeves have a purpose They collect blonde hairs and tip his wife off to the fact that he is getting gay.
 The one best bet is that the man who is afraid of doing too much isn't in any danger of being paid too much.
 When one of the boys steals and acts ornery his Mother sighs and says that the poor child takes after his Fathers side of the family.

German Propaganda That Did Not Work
(Wrangell Sentinel.)

(Wrangel Sentinel) Mr. and Mrs T. J. Case this week received let ter from their son, Oscar, who has been in France for some time. He states that he is anxious to re turn the good old U. S. A. that the war is over and that he would like to reach Wrange in time fol the Firemen's Ball However, he has received no in timation as to when he will be discharged Mr. Case enclosed in his letter souvenir il the form of a propaganda leafet that dropped from a German balloon behind the American lines on October 27. It is printed in English and reads as follows
 Don't die till you have to!
 "What business have you to die for France, for Alsace-Lorraine, for England in France?
 Isn't 1t better anyhow to live than to die, no matter for how glorious cause? Isn't it better to live and come back to the old folks at home, than to rot in the shell holes and trenches of France?
 You have had to hear many high fa- lutin words about liberty, humanity and making the world safe for democracy but honest now, aren't these catch words merely sugar coating to the bitter pill of making you spend wretched months far from home? Do you really believe those German soldier boys in their faded gray uniforms the other side of No Mans Land hot on the trail of your liberties?
 Just like you, they want the to end with honor they can go back to their home folks. All they want is chance to live and let live.
 And so, if it should happen to you to fall into their hands you will find that they will treat you fair enough the principle of live and let live Why any more chances than you have to- you might we'll be free boarder in Germany till the is over You don't want to die until you have
