According to third or fourth handed report it is claimed, that mo- tification has been given to this gov ernment by Admiral Kolchak to the effect that he will turn over part of Siberia to Japan unless something is done by the allies in the way of giv- ing assistance to the anti bolshevik forces fighting for Russia. Either Kolchak's government was over thrown and he was succeeded in command of the army in Siberia or else he is still at the head of the government established at Omsk. But regardless of the time, if such warn ing was given it indicates very plain ly that the situation must have been considered critical and that Japan is ready to lend it's assistance in fight ing the bolsheviki provided it is prop erly compensated with territory.
 The idea of notifying this country under such conditions is to get it in- terested in arousing the allies to the necessity of providing greater support for the opponents of the reds. Just al present the belsheviki are making | the time being they have the other armies on the run but apparently no1 broken and in desperation Kolchak i: said to be ready to buy the aid of Ja- pan.
 The idea in making such a plar known to this country is because tho territory that Japan would get would doubtless be on the Pacific and would give the island empire the chance fol expansion that it would like ant
 while this country has no desire fol l that or any other part of Siberia i
 is appreciated that it would natural
 ly be interested in any such move ant
 that it would be sufficiently concerned
 to use it's influence in getting the as lsistance desIred without making tn
 arrangement with Japan necessary. such a notification has really beer
 made perhaps we can expect som'
 definition of our Russian policy.

Ever since I came home from over seas I have been trying to get Cousin Fannie to fit my exquisite Luneville blouse so that it would set well on the shoulders. This morning told her that I simply had to have it done to wear to the Ritchey's tea this after noon.
 ''Yes, we may as well get it done" !" she said, with sigh. "But I hate to touch such delicate lace, Lucille"
 q must say that fine cobwebby lace Is extremely becoming to me, as are most elegant things, and the effect with my handsome new suit is very good. I felt as I stood at the Rit- chey's talking with Lieut. John Rit- chey, that my costume was doing jus tice to the party.
 There's a lady looking at you with great deal of interest," said the lieutenant. Perhaps it's some old friend"
 L followed his glance across the room and saw a woman gazing at me through lorgnette and with mot too pleased an air. She wore a blouse exactly like mine, but stretched to the Btraining point over her plump shoul- ders it was far from becoming to her matronly figure.

But he likes to think that 'The Little Mid shiprnite'' was really begun in 1855, when, as little boy, he sat under the Battery at Portishead, near Bristol and his mother pointed out the ship that was bringing home the body of Lord Raglan from the Crimea. And few years later that little boy grown. up, wrote the well-known song beginning ."Twas '55 on winter night."-The London Chronicle.

THE COMING MESSAGE.

Jacksonian day on the eighth of this month Is always given due rec ognition by the democratic forces pre- ceding presidential election. It is there the keynote speech for the campaign is looked for and it is there the candidates are expected to show themselves and express their views.
 Added interest is aroused at this time by the announcement to the eff feet that President Wilson, while not being able to attend, will be heard from on matters of considerable inn portance. It was only few days ago that ir was stated from the White House tkat the president had no in tentien at this time of saying wlethe- he would or would not be a candidatc for a third term. It was heiieveI before his illness. and partic- uiarly since that western trip that he would declare himself out of the race that he would be more explicit than he was in Europe when he declared that he was anxious for the conclu- sion Of his term that he might de- vote himself to writing history, or words to that effect.
 There are those in the democratic ranks who are anxious to get down tc hard work as candidates but who vii not oppose the president, and the president has been averse to declaring himself because it has been felt that It would mean a weakening of his leadership from the time that he ad- mitteG he would not run again.
