The toys are sotdthrouffh army can teens to Uncle Sam's soldiers, who In turn use them for souvenirs or send them home to the youngsters. From the proceeds the Germans buy tobac so and other Incidentals. IN RUSSIA wf OLLOWING news of the r complete failure of the attempted revolt by Kor uiloff. the would-be man-on-liorseback in Russia comes the announcement that the repub lic of Russia has been officially proclaimed. It marks progress towards the stability of demo cratic government in that great country- K the Russians as a people were diratified with with the revolution they would have taken up with Komiloff's move. He had the prestige of being the head of the army and beyond question he had the backing of many belonennsr to what might be termed the Rus sian torv eierr.ent. But the Komiloff revolt collapsed com pleted. The obvious answer is that Russia does not wish to go back to czarism or to a dic tatorship of any sort. The peo ple desire political freedom. They deserve it and the cause of the allies in the war against Germany will be strengthened if democracy prevails in Rus sia. A democratic nation may, as a war maker, be handicap ped in some renects, but :n the end it generally produces ro :Jts th.it justify democracy. It i signifionnt fiat the democrat ic countrirs of the earth arc now sfadily rrowin? stronger in a miliary r-rro while the f.v.tocratic power against which they fight grow? weaker daily. Russia as a democracy may be slower getting into action than was the former despotic government but with the people themselves enlisted in the cause their work will be more contin uous and steadfast. It will be recalled that in a military way the old despotism accomplish ed but little ONE WAY TO PREPARE tfr OVERNMENT officials, including the president and the commissioner of education, are urging that stu dents not called by the draft Tkeep their collegiate work go ing wherever practicable to do no. The need of special train ed men for the future is empha sized and particular stress is placed on attendance at a whool where military science is tntiht. In this ft:' the mi.'iits f-t O. A. C. are to be provided with uniforms free Of cost, quite a consideration for students who are often hard pressed for cash, and in addition certain classes of students are to be paid $100 a year by the govern ment. The reason for this is found in the fact the military instruction given is of value to the government. The students drill each day, under West Point instruction, and the train ing given is equivalent, as far as it goes, to that secured in the army. Young men not called by the draft and who for any reason feel they should not enlist at this time may combine educa tion with patriotism by attend ance at school where such in struction is to be obtained. TO FIX RETAIL COAL PRICES ftr HE Fuel Administration authorizes the following Arrangements are rap idly reaching a conclusion which will enable the Fuel Ad ministration to make an an nouncement concerning the price of coal at the retail deal ers and for small manufactur ing plants which have relied upon "spot" coal. Before the end of the pres ent month prices will be an nounced. It may be necessary to make them tentative, as in the case of the prices fixed for coal at the mines. Local committees will be asked to investigate and repon upon costs. It is obvious that these will vary considerably between localities and between city and country districts. Care will be taken to include all items which ought to be includ ed for there is no disposition on the part of the Fuel Admin istration to deprive the local dealer of his fair measure of profit. In this connection, Mr. Gar field called attention to the rule governing the appointment of local committees by the state fuel administrators now being chosen. Leading citizens of r.bility will be placed upon tb rorr.rr.:tt"e but the rule states 1"int lrcal dealers are excluded. ThH i't with no purpose to dis credit the local dealers. They are as patriotic and reliable as anv other class of citizens. The rule is made rather to save them from the kind of embar rassment that inevitably arises when men are called upon to nass judgment upon others in their own line of business and to p--is unori conditions which pre intimately concerned with their own livelihood. Although there is a shortage of cars and of labor Mr. Gar field states that by cooperation between Judge Lovett of the Priority Board, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and others, vested with power over transportation, cars can be had. He. himself, has power to apportion and distribute the coal. John P. White, president of the T'nit"-' M;r WnrW-rs has rcceHed Mr. Garfield's invitn-t-n to rut as one of his advis- .-!. The blame for all strike trouble does not rest upon the shoulders of the workers; there are cases where em ployes by excessive obstinancy cause the tie up of industries essential to the country.
