Colonies against England. Lafayette
volunteered his services in the cause
Of the new republic and as soon as
he could get permission he sailed for
America and gave of his service and
wealth that the cause Of the Colonists
might conquer. Later when the court
Of France was overthrow by the
French people and a republic was es-
tablished in its stead. Lafayette did
what he could to stand by his former
playmates. but his efforts were of no
avail. The overthrow OF the court
did not surprise him. however, for in
his heart he knew that the frivolity
Of Versailles was such that the more
serious affairs of the world could easi-
,ly override It's rule. and even as
young boy his own noble heart had
prompted him to turn in disgust from
the selfish and extravagant men and
women who enjoyed life while their
less fortunate neighhors persisted from
cold and hunger before their very
eyes In that age of grandeur and
pomp Lafayette stands OUT as man
of true courage and unselfish heart
who was willing to sacrifice his life
and his comfort for the cause of right

Development of
A Normal Baby

An inexperienced mother is often
at loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be I'M
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious ma
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications of a perfectly healthy
baby are steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa-
ton, it should have attention.
Most of the baby's troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
baby doesn't develop properly. When
these symptoms occur, good baby
laxative will generally suffice, but
great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up Inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach.
One of the best laxatives for babies
is "Baby Ease" perfected prepare
ton by baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro-
duce over-action or leave baby con-
stipated. 1t is a safe. harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to a physician. Ask
your druggist for "Baby Ease"

But Step in That Direc-

With u. S.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. %
Russia's ability to export raw ma
terials in the near future has been
greatly overestimated by foreign
countries in the opinion of Colonel
B. Englehard, formerly member of
the Russian Duma and a student Of
economic conditions in Russia before
and after the revolution. In a talk
with The Associated Press CORE
spondent he said that foreigners
seem to fail to realize the collapse of
the Russian transportation system,
reduced manpower and rundown con-
dition of the Russian farm lands.
This comment was evoked by re-
ports of the negotiations of Russian
economic agents with Premier Lloyd
George in London and the announce
ment that the United States had lifted
prohibitions upon American trade
with Soviet Russia.
Colonel Englehard is confident
that Russia will again play an import
ant role in European markets, but he

Wet government, in the opinion of
Colonel Englehard. Large quantities
of oil still are stored and produced
in the Baker fields and it is the prod
uct which all the world is seeking.
Fighting has interrupted the
Batum pipeline repeatedly during the
last few months, but Georgia and the
Bolsheviki have now reached an
agreement and the prospects are bet
ter for oil sales in Batum. The
Grozny oil field, which is also in the
hands of the Bolsheviki, who have
control of the railway and can readily
transfer the product to Baku if roll
ing stock is available.
"But up to the present time the
Bolshevik regime has only diminish
ed the production of OIL said Colonel
Englehard. at seems certain that
the naturalization of enterprises ev-
erywhere by the communists will
work the same havoc in the oil fields
that it has in Russian industries as a
whole"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-08-23

said, "the revival of Russian trade
will not come until taece shall be es-
tablished a normal state of life when
men shall renounce attempts of es-
tablishing Immediately the paradise
of communism.
1T should be borne in mind that
European Russia has been greatly
reduced in size," said Colonel Eng
lehard. formerly it had over 5,000,-
900 square kilometers of land and
157,000,000 inhabitants. Poland, Fin
land, great part of the Caucasus
and several Baltic provinces, with
about 100000 inhabitants and
about 100000 square kilometers of
land have detached themselves. The
greater part of these detached terri
tories ordinarily had a notable sur
plus of grain and other farm prod
ucts which constituted the major part
of Russia's exports" ,
Colonel Englehard says livestock
of all sorts has been reduced so
greatly by the war +h,i it is imposs-
ible to consider expectation of meat
or live animals. The civil war in Den
and Kuban wiped out the sheep there
and make the extensive expectation
of wool impossible. The sugar indus
trv is so disorganized and fuel so
scarce he does not believe Soviet
Russia will be able to supply its To-
cal market for many years.
Flax is the one farm product which
Colonel Englehard believes Soviet
Russia will be able to export in large
quantities Immediately.
