Pussia Destitute of scythes.

Before the war Russia's need of
scythes was estimated at 100000 an
nually, of which about half were re-
quired in Siberia. To fill these re-
quirements about 4,50O.OOO. seythes
were imported annually and the re-
mainder manufactured in Russia. Ac-
cording to latest information there are
hardly any scythes to be found. Rus

District LEGISLATION,

Already large grist of measures
relating to the District of Columbia
has been poured into the House hop
per. Chairman Mapes has announced
that he will call meeting of the Dis
trict committee early next week to be-
gin work on these bills, and has thus
presented a prospect of early action
Owing to the inactivity of the District
committee for many months past the
arrears of local needs are heavy, and
it will require much hard work to put
these bills in shape for passage and to
get them through the House.
The hope is that Chairman Mapes
will be able to secure recognition of
the rule granting the District special
time for the consideration of local
legislation in the House. 'District
day" has become such a movable feast
and so little regarded by the House
that new dispensation is required to
bring the schedule back to its former
definition. If the District committee
will keep the calendar supplied with
bills the House will have no valid ex-
euse for passing District day.

Mannheim Spills the Beans.

An indication of the real spirit of
the German people with respect to the
peace treaty is afforded by the affair
at Mannheim, where, alarmed by the
belief that Germany will not sign,
and that the allies will advance, the
people became panic-strickcn and
stormed the municipal savings bank
and many rushed for the trains.
Crowds later gathered in the streets
and held protest meetings, demanding
the signing of the treaty. Mannheim
|! is so near to the armistice line that
it would probably be occupied very
soon after the beginning of the allied
advance upon the renewal of hostili-
ties. Where is the spirit of 1914s
Where is the stuff that sent the Ger
man troops into Belgium9 Where is
the herosm that was to put "Deutsch-
land uber alles's Clamering at the
savings banks for deposits and crowd
ing at the railroad stations to get out
of danger. Berlin has expressed its
regret that the people of Mannheim
"lost their heads" That little affair
at Mannheim has made the Berlin
bombast about not signing the treaty
sound very silly.

Speed on Capitol Hill.

The House is making an excellent
start. 1t is doing business with neat
ness and dispatch. If the click" is
kept up, satisfaction throughout the
country will be felt and warmly ex-
pressed.
In certain matters the Senate waits
on the House. But it will not have to
wait long this time. 1t, too, is in con-
dition to function promptly and rapid
ly, and presumably will do so.
The controversy over the failure of
some of the supply bills last winter is
natural. 1t is political; and there will
be good deal of politics in Congress
for the coming twelve months. Both
parties are clearing for action next
year. When both the presidency and
Congress are in the scale, as they will
be in 1920, nearly everything leads to
politics.
Hence the charge by the democrats
that the republicans are responsible
for the failure. and the counter charge
by the republicans that the democrats
are. The simple facts are that there
was a jam of measures as the close of
the session approached, and that the
republicans, in protest, filibustered
Thus the supply bills were lost in the
shuttle.
The episode has value outside OF
politics if the lesson it carries i.
learned. The lesson is that the method
of doing business at the short session
should be changed.
To start with, the Christmas recess
should be reduced to q few days. Il

Moving on the Reds.

Anti-bolshevik military activities
have been renewed at various points
and carried to an extent that dis
closes the red weakness in the field.
On the Murmansk front a successful
turning movement has been executed
against the main bolshevist position,
compelling full retreat. The Firms
have continued their advance upon
Petrograd and are now within forty
five miles of the city, while the Estho.
mans, cooperating with the Firms, are
within fifty miles of the capital. Kol-
chak, in the east, is steadily advancing
and at the present rate Of progress in
the north the union between the forces
of the Siberian government and the
a lies operating west and north Of Petro-
grad may effect junction. Only in
the south is there any show Of boz
shevik success. Owing to an unfor.
tunate breach between the Ukrainians
and the Poles the bolshoviki are max.
ing renewed progress in that quarter.
The bolshevik morale is known to be
very low. with discipline a negligible
quantity. Probably 1t will require but

lay. Practically, it has operated to
reduce the time of the session from
three months to two. So general has
been the feeling, indeed, that early
January and not early December
marked the beginning of business.
Many members have delayed their ar
rival in Washington until after the
Christmas season.
Then the short session should be
devoted as exclusively as possible to
the supply bills. They should have
in fact as in theory the right of way.
And particularly they should not be
made the medium of trading, or forced
to carry riders of any sort.
With these changes months
substituted for two, and trading and
riders eliminated-there need be no
trouble about the bills making the
government the proper allowances for
support, or giving to all items the
time necessary for their examination
and discussion. And as the changes
are non-partisan in character and
would be in action, both parties should
unite to make them.

The German Prisoners.

Explicit refusal alone was to be ex-
pected to the German delegates de-
mand for the immediate return of Ger
man prisoners of war and interned
civilians, for the prompt appointment
of commission to provide for this
repatriation and for the supply by the
allied governments of complete sets
of clothing and footwear for the pris-
oners before their dispatch. And that
is precisely the reply that has been
returned to the German note of May
10. Premier Clemenceau, signing the
rejoinder, refuses In the name of the
allied and associated powers to con-
sent to the repatriation of all pris-
oners on the ground that many of
them are accused of crimes or penal
offenses, for which they are to be
tried, not by the Germans, but by the
allies. 1t is perhaps superfuous for
Clemenceau to assure the German
delegation that it is the intention of
the allies to treat their prisoners of
war beween the signing Of peace and
repatriation with full consideration Of
their feelings and needs" Yet such
assurance is formally conveyed to
make the record explicit. On the score
of reciprocity, for which the Germans
asked, the allies reply merely states:
"As there was no parallel between
the treatment which was accorded to
prisoners of war by the German gov
eminent, on the one side, and the al
lied and associated powers, on the
other, no claim for reciprocity in this
respect can arise"
An equally definite refusal is re-
turned to the request for the full CUT
fitting Of the German prisoners be-
fore their dispatch for home. Assur-
ing the Germans that the allies viii
do everything possible to send back
the German prisoners properly fed
and in good condition, they regret,
however, that the present demands on
them from the territories recently lib
Grated from the German yoke, as well
as from their own nationals, will prob
able make it impossible for them to
supply the prisoners of war with
clothing, etc."
This is an admirable instance of
restraint. 1t ia a masterpiece of
silence on q subject on which much
might have been said. There is no
word of the terrible condition in which
the allied prisoners have come from
Germany, of the disease with which
they have been infected, their starved
state, their rags. owe will have all
we can do to care for our own and our
wards without clothing your people,
whom we have fed we'll and treated
deeently during their forced stay with
u.s." Behind that simple expression is
shocking record of German cruelty.

Make the Quota, and More!

its response to the appeal for the Sal
vatlon Army home campaign fund liz
order to reach its quota of 100000 by
tomorrow night Thus far the sub
scriptions have been far from liberal
or general With remarkably wide
spread disposition of tenderness toward
this agency it was thought that the
fund would be quickly subscribed.
Yet for some reason that is not clearly
Perhaps everybody is waiting until the
last moment, in order to make another
of the "over the top rushes at the
finish. Whatever the reason, however,
there is no ground to doubt that by
tomorrow night the full amount of the
Districts quota will have been sub
scribed and probably more.
All of this fund, $l3,000000 in the
country and 100000 in Washington,
is to be used for the home work OF
the Salvation Army, work that is
now recognized as of the utmost i'm
portance for the betterment of social
conditions, the rescue of men and
women from wreck, the cure of social
ills, the elevation of the moral stand
ards of the people. 1t is not purely
religious work, it is a redemption work
of the best kind. The Salvation Army
proceeds on the principle that every
man is worthy of another chance, and
it has held out the helping hand to
millions in the past, and with lib
eral endowment such as this fund will
grant it will be able to do more eff
fective work in the future, without
spending time in the raising of funds,
which has heretofore been necessary
by means that have without doubt in
terfered with and greatly lessened the
efficiency of the organization.
In its war work the Salvation Army
demonstrated remarkably high de-
gree of capacity. 1t was not new to
this service. 1t had served on war
fields in many parts of the world, I'M
ostentatiously and effectively. 1t had,
as Evangeline Booth said in lecture
in this city last winter, been fighting
on the battlefields of Europe and Amer
lea in time of peace so-called, its serv-
itors struggling against the most ad
verse conditions, working in veritable
trenches in the slums of cities, facing
cold and hunger and danger and dis
ease without fear or faltering.
Now this organization, its personnel
carefully chosen and rigidly trained
and scrupulously maintained on .
basis of discipline and devotion, asks
the American people for aid to carry
On a work that is in the best and high
est sense one of salvation. 1t needs
NO knowledge of the service rendered
our soldiers in France to make every
citizen of this country willing to con-
tribute to such fund. Yet the knowl-
edge of that service should turn that
willingness into eager desire.

COOPERATIVE WAREHOUSE
ASSOCIATION FORMED
(Farm Bureau News)

Fostered by the oranges of Lincoln
County, there has been formed with
headquarters at Toledo, an association
that is sure to be of special interest
and value to the farmers of Lincoln
County. The object of the association
as set forth in the bylaws, is to enable
local farmers comparatively to buy and
sell such produce as may be needed on
their respective farms in such way
as to make the greatest saving to all
concerned.
1t has been noted in the past that
where orders for mill feed, seed, OF
hay wanted in small lots by number
of farmers could be grouped, a particu
lar saving could be made, not only in
the purchase, but also in the saving on
freight rates. In like manner it is
thought by those assisting in the mat
ter of organization that an appreciable
saving can be made in the sale Of such
produce as may be grown in the future
available for outward shipment in car
load lots. With the building of better
roads, the improvement of our harbors
and the extension to our railroads, in
time there will be large quantities OF
potatoes and various other truck crops
that will be available for cooperative
marketing.
In order that the association have
sufficient capital to operate properly
the association is incorporated for
$2,500, and already more than sixty
per cent of this stock has been sold
Shares in the association are availabl
to any farmer in the county at tht
price of ten dollars per share Six
per cent interest on each share i.
guaranteed by the association.
The headquarters Of the association
will be at Toledo, and meeting, at
which time organization was com
pleted and officers for the association
for the coming year elected, convened
in Toledo on Wednesday, the tenth o.
October. The association will begin
business at once.
The Toledo Grange has secured the
use Of the old cannery building near

The association. 1t is not planned al
the present to carry any appreciate
stock on hand or to enter the retail
field, consequently any farmer desirinf
to secure feed or seed thru the organi
zation should file his orders in writin,
and on the basis Of these orders, tht
car shipments will be secured. Unit
such time as definite headquarters arr
arranged, current prices may be hal
