Sample Blan kets
Thai Compare
sOith The Regular
Army BIanket

We are showing wool
blankets as samples and
will accept orders for
same, filled within a rea-
sonable time at the price
of $7.98 each.
These blankets were
made by a firm who
made blankets for the
Government. When the
war ceased, they con-
tinued to work on them
in order that they might
use up their surplus
stock. These blankets
are of a high class, and
come in light gray with
blue borders; also in
dark gray. A good
chance to secure blank
cts for camping and
general purposes before
the cold weather sets in,
at prices less than the
manufacturers price of
today.

Essential to Lasting Peace.

the defense of other nations, then to be

with Turkey was for the defense Of the
small Balkan nations, and in the last
one, 1SU-1S1S. Russia fought especially
for the independence OF Bulgaria. a
country which has been fighting against
her defender in the present war. In
1872 Russia saved the world from the
militarism of Napoleon and restored Or
der throughout all Europe with Ger
many and Austria.
May we Russians count on some
satisfaction for our part of the work
in this war? The allies are now pre-
pairing a treaty which calls on Ger
many for huge indemnities, distribu-
tion of her fleet and colonies. Russia
is giving Finland and Poland their
independence, but what is she receiv-

us to put a speedy end to the war

lasting without peace in Russia, and

such without one of the nations. with

There are scattered in the fields of
Galicia, Poland. mountains OF karpat
and woods of Prussia hundreds of
thousands of graves of Russian
heroes-heroes who without defense
have answered to the call of small
Slavic Serbia, which was imperiled
by the danger of German yoke. Sure
ly those graves give us the right TO
request from the allies the assistance
which will enable Russia to again
stand before the world as one of its

BUSINESS AWAITS
TRANS-SEA FLIGHT
q. S. Hopes to Show Crossing in
Air May Be Of CONNER
cial Advantage.

The United States hopes to demon
strate in the coming transatlantic air
flight that the ocean can be crossed
in an airplane, not once, as sporting
adventure. but regularly for CONNER
cial purposes.
This was pointed out yesterday by
the Manufacturers Aircraft Associa-
ton of New York city. The assocla-
ton is following the proposed under
taking closely in order to consider in
its commercial plans for the future
factors which will be brought to light
in the trial trip
This trip from Rockaway to New
foundland will be a tes; flight. Ac-
cording [ othe manufacturers. the frst
of the three Navy flying boats viii
leave Rockaway between April 10 and
lS. IL is pointed out that in most un-
aertakings pilots usually feel it nee
essary to test their machines over a
course from 80 to 30 per cent OF the
length of the real flight.
The association predicts that with
favorable weather and proper func-
tionins of the planes, the 300 miles
to Newfoundland should be covered IN
sixteen hours. The association believes
that if stops are decided upon or are
found necessary they probably VIII be
made at Boston or Halifax.

not only to see her forests destroyed
i'm the actual fighting and in the

ply her own army and those of her
allies with wood for numerous mill

cause lumber could more readily be
secured in France. Thanks to her
splendidly developed system of for
estry, France not only was able to
supply army requirements. but was
able. by reason of her forests. to
retain her liberty and save her ma

Had it not been for the defensive

invaders, and for their offensive
value, permitting the secret gathering

TINE great country. Russia,
- which not long ago was play
ing a large and important
part in international politics,
has been converted by bolshevism
into a dependent country of an inferior
type. destroying the work of centuries
and running the efforts of many genera
tons
Word peace has not brought for
US rest. reconstruction and tranquil
lity, but uncertainty. bloodshed. chaos,
economical ruin and the despoilation
of our public institutions. At that
moment when the allies were cele-
gotten, none remembering the work
which she did in the war toward the
world peace. Her part is counted as
nothing.
Made Big Sacrifice in War.
Remembering the part Russia
played in the war, I ask. why should
she not have the same right to call
herself a victor as any other coun-
try? BraEely she went into the war
to protect defense.ess Slavic Serbia
against Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary, not from a materialistic, ego
tistical or economical point of view,
but for the rights of humanity and
justice. In the first years of the
war, when the allies were still pre-
pairing for war, all pressure OF the
war lay with Russia. In spite of the
insufficient amount of ammunition
against the technically prepared Ger
many, she threw her soldiers against
the German hordes and sacrihced
hundreds of thousands of the best OF
her soldiers Our advance in eastern
Prussia in 1917 was in order TO save
Paris. and our advance in the spring
of 1915 did save Italy from the first
threatened invasion by Germany.
In defending Warsaw in 1918 and
holding the Germans. Russia pre-
vented Germany from returning to
the western front. and by that de-
fense she gave France and Great
Britain over one year to prepare The
service thus rendered was invaluable.
for, as Frank H. Simonds says in his
history of the world war, "only VIC
tory in the east followed by triumph
in the west could permanently abolish
the decision of the Marne.' 1t was
really Russia who defeated and
brought the final surrender of Austria
Hungary.
The above mentioned dates speak
for themselves. for the total Russian
loss was about 10000. 900 men. 1000. 900
by death, the balance being incapaci-
tated so as to make them useless cit
izens of society. Further, 1,500.000 en-
emy prisoners were taken. Besides the
tremendous loss in man power. practi-
cally all our fleet. a large percentage of
our ammunition was stolen by Ger
many after the coward'y made Brest-
Litovsk treaty, and also a large part
of our reserve gold and our national
and historical objects. Our money
rates of exchange dropped much be-
low value and we are now constrain-
ed to seek help from the allies and
neighbors for organizing our politi-
cal and economical life.
