NEED ALLIED INTERVENTION
Former Grand Duke Says Situation Hopeless
 Without It.

Paris, March 12-Former Grand Duke Alexander MichaeIovitch, who arrived in Paris recently from the Crimea, told The Associated Press to- day that unless armed Allied inter vention in Russia began at once the situation would become so hopeless 1y desperate that it would take years, perhaps decades, to restore k semblance of order and bring about peace in Eastern Europe. The for mer Grand Duke, who is a brother 1n-law of the former emperor, con- tinued:
 q do not ask the Allies to ighE for us. We merely ask them to keep order in the territories wrested from Bolshevism by the governments al ready fighting the Soviet.
 ''I came here in January in an at tempt to help my country as a private citizen acquainted with conditions in Russia. I thought I would find jus tice and sympathy at the Peace Con- ference but I have been disappoint- ed, as I found only personal in trigues. party politics and national egotism visible.
 What we want from the Allies is a frank statement of whether they in tend to intervene in Russia or not or whether we have to look elsewhere for salvation. Under their present state of mind the wOuld4be ruling classes in Russia probably will look to Germany for help and the Germans understand how to deal with the BoI- shevih.
 Tt is my opinion that the Sparta can movement in Germany is kept alive only as a means of bIackmail against the Allies. When the jrelim- mary peace is signed, when Germany has used the SpartacanS to the ut most to blackmaiI the Entente into sending food and granting merciful conditions of peace, when Sparta cism has herved its purpose, it will diSappear"

ADVANCE NOT GENERAL ONE
Religious Publication Points Out Strong and DepIorabIe Contrasts
 Existing In Alaska.

The native Alaskan of today is be- coming In some sections, an intelll- gent and progressive factor in the life of the territory. Recently q daugh- ter of the Hydah tribe made appllca- ton for United States citizenship, and after examination was pronounced qualified to exercise intelligently the duties of an elector-the first native woman of Alaska to receive citizen ship. Her father Is a Staunch elder of the Hydaburg Presbyterian church. All through southeastern Alaska, na- tives are taking up homesteads, organ izing villages upon sound civic prinCi- pies, reading the daily papers, putting telephones and electric lights into their homes-in a word, are proving the value of Christian citizenship.
 But there Is another side to the pie ture and the contrast between the unchurched and the Christian Alas kans is distressing. Scores of villages in the Bristol bay region live where no Protestant missionary has ever been, and the one Greek priest who had ministered to the needs of 1,700 people is now dead. The revolution in Russia has cut off the support of Rus sian missions in Alaska, leaving the wretchedness of large numbers of these people wholly unrelieyed.-The Home Mission Monthly.

INDUSTRY AND THRIFT.
Prof. Carver Tells How Prosperity
 Will Come.

The two great programs for pros perity for all times," said Professor Carver of Harvard, who is deeply in. terested in the educational side of the War Savings Committee. "are indus try and thrift. We must reduce the amount of likeness. We must reduce the amount of extravaganza. You can lay it down as an absolutely universal proposition that wherever production exceeds consumption, and in propor- tion as production exceeds consump- tion, there IS progress. Wherever consumption exceeds production, there is retrogressfon. By consump- ton, understand, I mean using mate rial things for personal qualification. In a sense, but incorrectly, one Is said to be consuming coal when one uses 1t in an engine to produce steam. It is being used up, 1t is true, but 1t is being used productively. In propor- tion as it is used in such ways, we have more goods rather than less. But using an excess of coal in keeping too many rooms warm, or keeping them too warm, Is luxurious consumption \ to show for 1t afterward.
 How can we possibly consume more than we produce? The answer to that is very simple. If we slow down our building operations so that we do not keep up with the deterioration of the old buildings, we have used up more buildings than we have built in 8 giv- en year. The rate of consumption exceeds the rate of production. You can apply that rule, not simply to building, but to the making of ma chimes and tools. If we use so much of our man-power producing things that are used for immediate gratiflca- tion, and spend so little energy for durable construction as not to replace the destruction of those durable things, we have retrog'ession, things are going down. That, I believe, is an absolute and universal principle, al ways and everywhere operative.
 'In that part of the world where production exceeds consumption. civ tHzation is going up hill. That is where wealth is accommodating and where durable things are being built, That principle must be applied here and now, where there is so much re- building to be done. In war, it is not expected that production can keep up with destruction or deterioration It is quite possible, also, that production should fall behind deterioration in time of peace, but this could happen only in 8 thriftlegs community. It ia by thrift that durable construction keeps up with or exceeds detertora- tion and destruction It is by using money and man-power for permanent or future needs and not by using it all for the temporary needs of the i'm. mediate present"

"Getting Your Coat

Just now the phrase Getting your goat" is not slang, however apparent may be the resemblance. It is rather 8 subject for consideration by subur- ban dweIIers, in connection with the milk situation. Because of the high cost of grain, and scarcity of labor, some farmers are disposing of their herds, and the constantly soaring prices of milk and milk products are a source of much anxiety. Growing children need milk, but under present conditions many are unable to get it. and when they are so fortunate, 1t is often of so poor quality as te have but little food value.
 The Swiss mtlch goat is especially adaptable to small farms and suburb an lots. She is the genttest of ani- mals, and very inteIligent-an ideal pet for children. A doe will supply enough milk for the average family While a diet of tin cans is not especial ly to be recommended, the goat re- Quires but little in the way of expen- sive food. It will eat the lawn clippings and table scraps. A wide range Is not necessary for it's happiness, but it Is well to supply the back yard with an exerciser to work off surplus energy.
 Your goat will not only furnish rich milk at low cost, but release consid- erable amounts of money for Uncle Sam, for 1t is a foregone conclusion that small savings will find their way into War Savings Stamps. By getting your goat, lessons of kindness to ami ma1s and thoughtfulness for their care, playful compantonsh1p and nu- trittous food are provided for your children, and the investment in War Savings Stamps of the money saved, will insure a snug nest-egg for them when they arrive at maturity.
 By getting your goat, you will put delicious milk and cheese up- on your table, roses upon tho chil- dren's cheeks, and your purchases of War Savings Stamps will help to put our country where 1t belongs.-at the head of the world.

 MEN GET JOBS

Hartford, Conn, March 12.---4t seemed likely today that the first step to be taken to meet the cond1- ton of unemployment in Connecticut will be through retention of the em- ployment bureau system, which has been highly praised, set up by the Federal employment service, and which has an office in each of 14 in dustrial Centers, from which comes daily birdseye view of labor con- ditions here and elsewhere.
 The Federal Relation Committee reported unfavorably the bill which was intended to permit referendum on all proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution. Likewise the committee was against the memorials to congress in favor of improving the Connecticut river between Hartford and Holyoke
