The Soviet Government Of Russia
representing 100000 people. is
asking for trade relations with the Un-
tied States. and is willing and ready to
pay cash and give concessions.
This assertion is made by L. L. Bob

New York. where he was in confer

Soviets.
Russia does not need food; she
can feed herself, said Mr.. Bobroff,
What she Is ID need Of is the finished
product; shoes, clothing, tractors, shop
equipment and trucks. Tractors are
needed for culdvating the land, and
motor trucks for Transporting the food
from the farm to the city until the rail-
roads are extended. transportation
IS an important factor IN every country
and especially in Russia where distan-
ces are great.

Ohio Congressman Gives friendly
Warning to Returning Soldiers

Washington. May 23.-General
Isaac R. Sherwood. member Of Com
gress from Ohio and long prominent
IN the affairs Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic. has issued friendly
warning to the returning soldiers not
to permit themselves to be enrolled IN
organizations which they themselves
can not control.
This warning, which appears in a
signed interview published in a milf
tary journal (the American Army Ca
zette) has attracted wide attention
here where the developments at the St.
Louis caucus Of the American Legion
have been closely followed BY men in
ppblic life.
Says the Civil War veterans Of this
latest war.
"Qf course. the soldiers Of this
world war viii organize. All soldiers Of

pendence have organized. George

known as the Order Of Cincinnati,

clusively Of officers who saw battle
service. The most numerous body to-
day is the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. containing about 40 per cent of
all the surviving soldiers of that four
years conflict.
Ii is inevitable and desirable that
the soldiers Of this world war should
form a permanent body Of brother
hood not only to perpetuate in the
memory Of this generation and the
coming generations the achievements
on the battle fields Of France of our
own heroic soldiers, but as a perman-
ent appeal to the citizenship Of the Re
public Of the patriotic principles and
ideals involved in that great conflict.
Whether the new organization. en-
bracing the soldiers Of this war for de-
moeracy, should organize IN separate
groups. is a serious question. Ny own
idea Is that al the soldiers. whether
serving as officers Of as priyates,
should form one common brotherhood,

ment will give us an export license for
shipment Of goods to Petrograd and
allow us to use the cables for the trans
mission Of gold from Russia in pay
ment for the goods.
Let us not deceive ourselves. We
need the Russian market and need it
badly for the solving of our unemploy-
merit problem. We must give a job to
every man and woman who needs one.
Let us go after the Russian market
and supply to Russia all the finished
and unfinished products the Soviet
Russian government needs. Let us not
forget that self-preservation is the law
Of nature; and in my opinion the pres
eryation Of our own peace lies in the
giving Of employment to every man
and woman who depends upon job
for his daily bread. The Russian mar
ket will furnish the job.

This system has always appealed
to me as being undemocratc and I'M
American, if not absolutely unfair to
the great body Of men who stood be-
hind the guns, and who have not re-
ceived official honors. Ii has also Gre
ated what is called House Of Lords,
which has been able to. control largely
the deliberations and policies Of the
Grand Army for the past quarter Of
century.
TN other words, believe that the
coming soldier organization. which is
bound to Be the greatest in the history
of this Republic, should be controlled
in all its deliberations and policies and
aims by a majoriey of the men who
stood behind the guns, which consti-
tute the numerous bodies of all SOL
der organizations. 1t should be in
fact an organization to promote in the
present and in the future that vital
spirit of democracy which was the an
mating and inspiring force that sent
our armies to the battle fields Of
France. 1t should be an organization
that will appeal to the patriotic spirit
of all loyal and true Americans"

Numerous, indeed are the hearts to
which Christmas brings brief sea
son Of happiness and enjoyment.
How many old recollections, and how
many dormant sympathies does
Christmas time awaken? We write
these words now, many miles distant
from the spot at which, year after
year. we met on that day merry
and Joyous circle. Many OF the
hearts that throbbed so gaily then
have ceased TO beat; many Of the
looks that have shown so brightly
then have ceased to glow; the hands
we grasped have grown cold; the eyes
we sought have hid their lustre in
the grave; and yet the old house, the
room, the merry voices and smiling
faces, the jest, the laugh. the most
minute and trivial circumstances con-
nected with those happy meetings
crowd upon our mind at each recur-
renee Of the seasons, as II the last as
semblage had been but yesterday.
Happy, happy Christmas, that wins
us back to the delusion of our child
ish days; that can recall TO the old
man the pleasures of his youth; that
can transport the sailor and the trav-
eler thousands of miles away, back
to his own fireside and his quiet
home.

Our American Christmas begins TO
take an American form, as is the
case with the people, the ideas, the
language, and everything else which
has been brought here from the old
world. We borrow from the Chris
tian festivals of European nations
what seems to be best adapted TO
our own requirements. Santa Claus,
the German, is naturalized an Amer
lean, and the German Christmas tree
takes root in our soil. So does the
English holly. English Christmas
songs. Of course, are easily sung by
American voices; while on the Christ
mas board, the native American tur-
KEY has never been known to quarrel
with good British plum pudding.
II Christmas is peculiarly the fes-
tival Of JOY, the day when the glad
ness Of the deliverance in which ev-
cry Christian believes is expressed,
the American people have certainly
done well in continuing the festival
where it's celebration is native TO
them, and reviving il where IL had
become obsolete. The whole human
race, and particularly the youthful
part of il, is fairly entitled to a good
deal Of merrymaking. Wholesome
fun helps to form well rounded
character-to build up a complete
man or woman-and TO this extent IS
the handmaiden Of religion itself.

Community Service.

A movement is under way to make
permanent in Washington the work
of the rganization> known at present
and for months past as the War Camp
Community Service. The plan is not
confined to this city. Already "com-
munity service has been instituted
elsewhere, over fifty cities of this
country having inaugurated establish
ments of this character, designed to
continue the service rendered the peo-
pie of the communities. Washington
has peculiar need of such an organi-
ZatiOn, well financed and maintained.
1t has become a congested city, with
thousands of government workers in
service here i'll consequence of the
war who have no imme diate home ties.
Apart from the military and naval
service men, for whom particularly
the war camp organization was es-
tablished at the outset, the city holds
n great number of young men and
women who should be afforded facil
ties for diversion, recreation and in
Gtruction. The proposed Community
service will afford these facilities,
and will furthermore render valua-
hle aid to existing organizations of
citizens.
1t has been said that an army is
efficient to the extent that its morale
is maintained. A eity's morale must
lie similarly maintained. The re.

Every necessity is still high. The law
is ready. The agencies Of prosecu-
ton are ready. Now bring forward
the cases. The government can do
something toward punishment. but the
consumers, who know what they pay,
must supply most of the proof.
Grumbling at the prices charged
will not bring them down. Complain
ing that there is no virtue in the law
will not bring them down. Only what
the socialists and radicals call direct
action will lower them. That direct
action is accusation and proof. If the
courts then do not punish offenders.
the law can be regarded as Ineffective.
