am enabled, on high authority,
to give the true inwardness of the
wrangeI movement in South Russia
to convey some idea of its present
resources in military strength, and
to outline broadly the wide-yisioned
statesmanship which inspires it In
many respects Wrangeis scheme is
NapoIeonic in conception. That may
be one of the reasons it appeals to
our gallant Gallic friends.
Gen. Wrangel is a Russian baron
and aristocrat of ancient lineage.
He was educated for the profession
of a mining engineer at Petrograd
and was graduated with high hon
ors. Entering the imperial army as
an officer. OF one of the elite cavalry
guard regiments, he soon became
cnamored of military life and de-
Cided to adopt it as a career. The
great war gave him unlimited Op-
portunities, and he soon proved him
self an officer Of outstanding cour-
age and resoUrcefulness. Identify
ing himself, after the revolution,
with Democratic Russia, he cast his
lot with Gen. Denikin, and it is of
record that most of the successful
fighting done by Denikin's army be-
fore its collapse was organized and
led by Gen. Wrangel. His reputa-
tion was that of a man who never
lost a battle.
Knew Not Dfscourngement.
Wrangel was not discouraged by
the collapse Of the Denikin effort
to save Russia from the Red food.
Rallying around himself the rem
nant Of Denikin's army, he estab-
lished himself in the Crimean pen
insula and announced that he in
tended to fight on for the redemp-
tion OF Russia with the Black Sea
as his background and historic Sc
bastopol as his base and capital.
There, in the spring Of 1920. Wran-
gel set up the government Of South
Russia.
Before him WrangeI had the mis-
takes of Denikin and Rolchak. Pa
triOts and soldiers. they were fired
by a passionate desire to kill of
Bolshevism by military methods
They were bent upon marching on
Moscow and putting the Reds to
the sword They thought excIu-
sively in lighting terms The poll
tics Of the vast situation they had
to deal with became an altogether
secondary issue. The result was
civil chaos in addition to military
disaster. Wrangel is pursuing d.
ametrically opposite tactics. He is
not indulging in bull-rushing tao
tics against foemen overwhelming
Iy his superior in numbers and mil
itary strength. He has essayed in
stead to set up in South Russia
a model democratic Russian state

a government which claims their
allegiance-the government that has
provided them with invioIate, docu-
mentary evidence of their ownership
of their individual pieces of sacred
Russia.
In many other directions wraneel
has set the machinery of sane and
safe government to running in South
Russia. Municipal administration
through the old zemstves has been
generally restored. Schools and
churches are re-established. Fac
tories, banks and shops are omen
and doing business along Western
lines. Wrangel is giving Russians
or the Crimea- in other words. an
ocular demonstration of what eenu-
Inc democracy means. He intends
they shall have an object-lesson of
its superiority over the "peonle's
state" which Lenine and Trotzk v
would thrust upon Russia
But probably the farthest-rescb-
Ing, as it is the most Significant
feature of Wrarngers program for
Russian renaissance is his ambition
to create a United States of Rms
sfa-" He wants to link up all the
"ethnic" portions of the former
czaristic empire which have lat
terly broken away-the Baltic pro-
vinces, Lithuania, Latvia, Esthonia,
Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan-into
a centralized federal state.

will present to the world, one dav
as solid and cohesive. a front as
did prewar Russia The differenc.
would be that it would be a Demo-
cratic Russian federation instead ot
an imperialistic and militaristir
Russian Empire.
Wrangels military resources art
limited. My Information, derived
from a well-posted quarter, is tina,

$4,000 troops. These are mostly

HEINZ FAVORED SAVING.
Originator of "The 81 Varieties" Did

The late Henry P. Heinz, who

through the "57 varieties" was a firm
believer in the inability of the tail
to wag the dog. Extravaganza is the,
bane of America" he once said. And
why are we extravagant? For the fun
Of it? No. For the neighbors' sake.

Child and Remarks on Values
of v. s. Securities.

Elsie Janis, whose efforts to enter
tain the men overseas throughout rha
war have been widely recognized by
members of the A. E. F., did not cease
her patriotic efforts with the close of
the war. Long before she became q
theatrical luminary, Miss Janis used
to go to school in Columbus, Ohio.
When she heard the children of Co
1umbus were conducting a thrift drive,
Miss Janis wrote to the youngsters
where she went to school, encourag-
ing them in their efforts t 1save.
Miss Janis has a,unique system for
saving. She says the best way to
save is to forget abouttspending.
"Pve come to the conclusion" she
wrote, that the best way to save
money is to learn to forget. If you
want something badly you know you
cant afford, think it over, take the
money and put it away; then forget
it. You will find that you can live
without the object you desire-and
you can make ends meet without the
money you would have paid for it.

firmly intending to buy several gowns.
When q simple blue serge dress was
two hundred, an evening gown two
fifty and a coat six hundred, l walked
right out and turned on all the Chris
tian Science I possess. I took fifty
dollars and with it bought mother and
myself each a hat and some gloves.
81 took the thousand that l would
have paid if I had not come to in
time, and bought a $1,000 Treasury
Savings Certificate. We came home
and pulled out all last years dresses
and decided that the styles Of last
year we're better than this year. We
forgot about the certificate, but it
won't forget about us, because it is
going to pay us AIT per cent for not
being weak-minded and vain about
clothes.
"If you are a kiddie and your father
gives you, let us say, fifty cents a
week, you are a lucky kiddie-but, if
by chance he did so, try going without
some little thing that costs a dime
every week and you will be surprised
how little you will miss the little thing
that you go without and how proud
you will be when the dimes get to be
dollars.
"The man, woman or child who has
the capacity for making money and no
talent for saving is like a man with a
glorious singing voice who is stone
deaf. He can make a lot of noise for
a short time and then? The life
of a real money maker is about Is
years. Once you learn to make it,
it m easy, but unless you learn to
save it, it goes easier. People rarely
sympathize with a person who has had
money and lost it. OF him the world
says: Poor boob, he had his chance,
why didn't he hang IN to it.
"I Am beginning to sound like Mrs.
Shylock, but really I am sincere. Save
and forget-and they never will give
a benefit for you In your old age"
The price of a 500 Treasury Saw
ings Certificate in January is $S2.40.
On January 1, 1925, it will have grown
into a $500 bill, having earned 4.27
per cent. A War Savings Stamp in
January may be bought for $4.12 and
on January /, 1925, it is worth $500.

T was good thing for the little
boy Robert Louis Stevenson that
his father and his uncle and his
= grandfather had earned lots of
money building strong lighthouses out
upon the rocks In the ocean, for had
the family been poor and unable to
pay Tor doctors services and druggists

up to manhood. He was always a
weak and sickly child. and his parents
watched over him with the greatest
care. taking him from one place to
another. spending limitless money
upon him. In the hopes Of getting him
well and hardy; and while their efforts
made 1t possible for the boy to gain
enough strength to live and serve In
his own way. he could never have
taken his place In the ranks Of the
robust boys Of the country side. Most
OF his time was spent reading books
