ARMENIANS "SAVED" Russia, under the terms of a so-called peace treaty with Ger many, has asked the latter country to rescue the Armenians from Turkish massacres. Such a demand on the part of Russia might elicit a smHcfrom thinking people if the whole affair were not so ghastly and terrible. Of course, Germany will insist that the Turks cease their massacre of Christians! t is equally probable that Germany will take all her troops from the western front in order to punish the ' A WISH ' DECISION. Secretary McAdoo has withdrawn an appropriation of 14,300,000 for extensions and Improvements of fed eral buildings, on the ground that the expenditure is not essential and that the country needs the money for other purposes. Three cheers for KcAdoo's decision In this Instance. It s a mighty good idea to invest that money in khaki and guns Instead of lumber and cement better to safe guard those federal buildings as they stand than to jeopardlzo their safety by depriving the army and navy of necessary equipment. PRICKS ONE THOUSAND AGO. YEARS It Is an Interesting fact that all throughout the ages, while prices Turks for their brutality! Germany simply hates butchery and es- lUy rUeD. The Yale economit. Irving Fisher, says prices are now five to ten times as high as 1000 years' ago In France and. from four to six times as high as S00 years ago. And sd'we are not the only genera yon to complain of the h'gb cost of living. In the sixteenth century we find the complaint that wheat cost from three to ten times Its average price during the three preceding cec turies, and "all things .else, what ever, sustenance for man, was like wise raised without all conscience or reason." This great upward move ment of prices In the sixteenth cen tury. Prof. Fisher says, followed the fmnortatlon Into France of silver from the new world. pecially does she hate warfare against innocent women and children and noncombatants! The Statistician gives the number of men killed in battle in the Union armies in the Civil war a 61,362; died of wounds, 34,727; died of diseases, 183,287. And the number deserted, -WOa. More than twice as many deserted as were killed in battle and died of wounds, and nearly twice as many died of diseases as were killed in battle and died of wounds. A partial ttatement, according to the same authority, cave 104.428 desertions on the Confederate side. In the item of killed in battle, the Civil war was a mere skirmish, as compared with the great war now being waged. But the item of desertions shows up the present United States soldiers in a white light by comparison. There are practically so desertions, even among the conscripted men. What makes the difference f Where is the man who has longed for the "good old days" of patriotism! In this re imcct. as in most others the khaki boys now under the Stars and Stripes will compare' more than favorably with any similar body of men the world has ever seen under arms.

In the United States, sales of 34,832.385,676 clgarets in 1917, compared with 25.253.456,591 itt 1916, shows an Increase of nearly 10,000.000,000, or close to 40 per cent. In 1900, the total was only 3.258,716.305. The Increase over a seventeen "years' "period has been nearly 1100 per cent. But the per centage of Increase In Europe has been even higher. TOO GOOD. that negative philosophy that woul have us sit still and do nothing. Is good to work. It is right to think and to try to think In terms of ciar ity and order, but after one has done his little best It Is a safe plan to leave the rest with the Creator. For we are all only actors In the great drama of life while God Is still the illreetor In chief.

One of the most shocking disas ters that ever happened In the Unit ed States was the burning of the Ok lahoma state hospital for the insane. In which thirty-six patlenta lost their lives many of them running directly into 'the flames, not realizing what they were doing. The very thought of suoh caUstrophes is likely to caat a shadow over the minds of the san est, strongest of us, unless we keep our mental feet firmly upon the rock ot faith, lnsitlng on the belief that, in spite of all seeming discord and Inharmony, there is a great good nlan back of It all. "For now we see as through a glass, darkly." "Everr angel In- his chainless free dom looks upon a slave; . Every star that ahlnes in heaven still must shine upon a grave; On the drift my feet are sliding, and my earthly eyes are dust- But to God a voice I lift in some such words as these: I trust" THE WIMPLE-LIFERS. Every sensible man and woman today Is a simple-lifer. There are so many things which are difficult to get, so many controllers are hem ming us with prohibitions, that all those who realize the futility of "klcklnr against the pricks" are making' their lives simpler and more simple every day. Curiously enough. the large majority of us are feeling ell the better for it! We walk where we once motored, and the exercise sets the stagnant blood In our veins rfnnlng with fresh vjgor. We eat .less and digest more. So little have we felt the deprivation that most ot us are declaring that for the future it CTto be the "simple life forever. There are. of course, some who strug gle In their absurd vanity to keep the old life alive. Their time Is mainly spent In evading orders of the food controller, or in discovering new sources of extravagance Some day thv will realize their mistake and join the happy army ot "slraple-llf- r" Yon cannot have your cake and eat it. Our cake today Is victory in the great war for freedom, truth and Justice. That case can ony u ours If we deny ourselves all the oth- tr cakes we once loved so much.
