Advices are to the effect that all
Russia is in ferment and that the
Bolshevik authorities, if they have
net a real revolution to contend with
just now, are likely to have it soon.
The past winter, which has augment
ed the sufferings of the people TO a
degree beyond anything before expert
enced, the constant warfare under
soviet rule and, lastly, the attempt to
cOerce labor-mobilize is the word
that has been used-and make it
part of the property Of the state along
with goods, lands, etc., has strained
the communist scheme to the breaking
point. People all over the country
are reported to be deathly sick of the
plan and In a mood to try revolution,
believing that any change must be an
Improvement.
Heretofore the strength of the Lenin
and Trotzky government has existed
in its military establishment. Sol
diers were fed and clothed even if
others starved and froZe. This made
military duty attractive and rendered
big, efficient army possible. The
significant feature of the present rev.
olution is that it was started by sol
diers and sailors, the very forces
which started and upheld the soviet
experiment.
The revolutionists seized the great
fortress of Kronstadt and several OF
the minor defenses of Petrograd. at
this writing a struggle for the city it
self is on with the deciding fortunes
still in doubt Authentic news is
meager, but - enough has seeped
through to indicate that the disturb
ance is not a mere flash in the pan.
The fact that the attack was started
at the seat of government, that the
city has been bombarded heavily and
that sanguinary encounters have
taken place in, it's streets, also THAT
the Red forces from other parts of
the country, including the famed
army of General Budenny, have been
summoned to its defense, is enough
to indicate that the affair is de-
termined movement against the whole
soviet regime.

While the threatened strike of pack
ing house employees all over the
United States against reductions in
wages and changes in hours of en-
ployment has elements of serious
ness, it is not definitely, at this writ
ing, beyond settlement. President
Harding's influence may bring results,
but if it does not, there is court
weapon which Is likely to delay the
more drastic effects if it does not stop
them entirely. Singularly, this
weapon, an injunction, is proposed by
the employees instead of, as usually
has been the case, by the employers.
Inasmuch as the scale of wages and
hours was fixed by arbitration during
war times, the employees contend
that a sudden altering without due
consideration and conference between
all parties affected, is unwarranted
and that the court should grant re-
straining order against the packers.
Attorneys for the Unions state that
If the order is refused they will ask
that the packing houses be placed in
the hands of receivers.

The allies were not of unanimous
opinion in forcing the PREPARATIONS
program, but they were driven to
united action through the necessity of
showing solid front. Whatever de-
velops in Germany even to a joining
with Russia, the allies are in a
strategic position to Deal with it
through their military establishments
and the fact that they already are in
German territory and can strike
unitedly and quickly.

vision seems to have the right Of way

comes the tariff, the problem being
! to lessen burdens and at the same

the excess profits tax lis repealed,
economies in governmental expendi-
lures will have to be instituted and
additional revenue from imports and
perhaps other sources will be re-
quired.
President Harding has intimated
that an emergency tariff may be pro-
posed, but that final disposition of
the tariff question will await the rec
concentrations of a new tariff COM
mission to be constituted along scien-
tific lines. This commission is yet to
be appointed and its deliberations nee
essarily will be prolonged, so that the
ultimate tariff bill Of this adninistra-
ton does not loom as a very near pos
sibility.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has announced himself definitely for
economies and for the establishment
of national budget system. In a
letter to the banks of the country he
has declared that, while the figures as
to the public debt and the current
operations of the treasury show that
the finances of the government are in
q sound position, the situation calls
for the utmost economy. The letter
covers the financial condition in con-
siderable detail and winds up with
the statement: 1.-THE people generally
must become more interested in saw
ing the governments money than in
spending it. A thorough-going nation
al budget system must be estab-
liShed and the governments expenses
brought into relation to its income"
Ever since Brig. Gen. Charles G..
Dawes announced himself so posi-
lively before congressional commit
tee ON the subject of unbusiness-
like methods in the national depart
ments, and other matters, there has
been persistent talk that this admin.
istration would take energetic action
to reduce criticism in this respect.
Accordingly the President has gone
over tentative plans with a joint COM
mittee from house and senate now
holding sessions in Washington. The
plans which White House advices
state are approved by the President.
and will have the cooperation of the
cabinet, call for a reorganization of
the executive departments to sys-
tematize administration, eliminate
duplication and reduce expenses. If
the program goes through it will be
the first shaking up of departments
since the days of Alexander Hamilton
One Of the proposed changes is a con-
solidation under one head Of the War
and Navy departments.

Mary laughed again-a tantalizins
little laugh.
'You ought to be off with the old
love before you're on with the new. "
A laughing challenge lurked in her
smoke blue eyes. "Oh, Dick, you fiirt -
He leaned to her and bestowed an
unexpected kiss upon her pretty, saucy
little face.
Mary, that makes you mine-for
keeps" he said.
At g. o'clock he deposited Mary at
the entrance to the White Lodge.
"Good-by, dear heart, until the day
after tomorrow; and-if anything
should happen-phone me at my club
in town; don't forget"
She nodded. The glow of happiness
still hung about her.
Remember our appointment Is for
Thursdays o'clock at the railway
station In town. You'll be there,
prompt to the minute"
Again she nodded.
Then that is fixed" said Dick.
"I'l have to be back by 8 O'Clock
that evening-maybe sooner" Mary
said.
That doesn't matter-just so that
you re there"
Then Mary recollected the fright she
had received through Vandaveer' Gin
galese servant.
"Oh, Dick!" She clung a little closer
to him. "Dick, now that Julian
Vandaveer's come back I'm rather
frightened"
Tell me, sweetheart-what is the
trouble?"
She recounted her midnight adventure
with the prowling Cingalese. Not even
now had she any idea Of his mission
For Darlington Bellairs had found the
$500 the Cingalese had placed in Mary's
room and had made no mention Of his
find to any one but Eve, nor Of his
own shrewd conclusions.
MY only comfort is that Mr.. Bel
lairs has forbidden the Cingalese to come
inside the house-or anywhere in the
neighborhood. He spoke to Mr.. Wanda
veer about my fright. / think that Mr..
Vandaveer must have left his servant
up in town."
II expected he has, dear! Don't be
frightened!' Dick was very tender to-
ward the girl. He loved Mary more
than ever when she showed a Cling
ing" mood. He was old fashioned
enough to appreciate femininity in a
woman. Then his thoughts winged to

ant. THE motive probably was rob-
berry. Keep both doors locked, sweet
heart. And-promise not to be afraid.
For everything is going to work out

For a brief, ecstatic moment Mary
clung to Dick. She felt 80 happy now
80 utterly content.
