A CRISIS IS HERE
The greatest minds of the earth
re powerless to outline the prob
able results that will follow the total
collapse of Russia. The fact Is pa
tent to all that It will encourage in
habitants of the central powers, par
ticularly when It Is considered that
an energetic effort will be made by
the military power to enlarge upon
It and turn everything to their own
credit. That power will relentlessly
follow up its advantage, totally re
gardless for the rights and comfort
of the Inhabitants, who. If In their
way will be murdered and their pro
perty stolen. A deep sense of
sympathy for Russia rests with the
civilized world, for It Is well known
she is without an army, without a
stable government and It Is believed
she will rapidly sink from sight as a
great power.
Germany will take her food and
minerals and whatever else she
wants and starvation will follow In
the wake. No time will he lost In
this matter as Germany is herself
hungry and now the will probably l,e
fed. However, it will take time to
accomplish all this and In the mean'
'time spring is approaching and if
Hindenburg does not start his long
heralded drive on the west front, the
allies win. righting will occur
there and just as soon as weather
conditions wlfl permit. It will be
bloody to the last degree and the
greatest battle In the world's history.
Let us hope It will occur before Ger
many can replenish her larder and
procure the minerals she needs from
the east.
If the German lines can be pene
trated before she Is fed, consterna
tion will prevail and she will prob
ably lose Austria, in which rape her
power will be broken. On the other
hand. If she drives the allies bark
as she hopes, a realignment will lie
necessary among them, and a broken
spirit is hard to mend. As it looms
up before an expectant world the
thought comes to many, Is it the bat
tle of Armageddon? ,

Pacific Coast Has Enough Fir, Cedar,
Pine, Spruce and Hemlock to
Build Homes for AIL
In the Pacltlc uorthwest stand 1,
SOO.OdO.OOO.OOO feet if timber. A Scut
tle contractor tells inc that this would
build a bungalow for every man, woui
an and child In the uatiou, Edward
Molt Woolley wrttea In MeClure's. Up
on the uorth 1'arlllc coast are 80.0000,
000 acres of forest. It Is estimated
that the mate of Washington alone has
about 400.000.000.000 feet of stuudlng
Or, cedar, pine, spruce and hemlock.
In Oregon and Idaho there are 701V
000.000.ooo feet. In 1010 the distribu
tion of Washington lumber hy ocean
carriers was nearly l.i.000,ll0 feet.
I cannot wake a fair estimate of the
money that lumber bring to the I'uget
sound country lu u year. I might
guess It at several hundred million j
dollars. j
I have seen It estimated that the
Washington lumber and shingles
shipped hy rail .alone nre worth ."V
00O.OU). Lumber hut year represent
ed AO per cent of the touuuge fur-1
Dished Washington, railroads. Of the J
wage earners Id Washington and Ore- j
gon more than H per cent are en- j
gaged In lumbering operations. Wages
paid In Washington and Oregon for
work connected with lumber stand for
SO per cent of the total. Some mills
have an output of 150,000,000 feet
year.
The evolution of the Pacific coast
lumber Industry hits been In keeping
with the general development. Ulant
machinery now handles both the logs
and lumber. Steam loggers and skld
ders do heroic work In the woods and
steel cables lower the big logs down
perpendicular mountain slopes. I
heard of an ocean going log raft 000
feet long drawing feet of water.
ENGLISH THRUSHES TUNE UP
Songsters Are In Evidence Even Early
In February, Robins Singing
Throughout the Winter.
Thrushes In England arc enrly sing

thrush singing even In the first week
of February, says the Christian Science
Monitor. The gardens nnd, of course,
a thrush loves a garden -nre then

that sings throughout the winter nnd
gains partlculnr laurels In doing so.
This season the thrnshes that In
habit the woods and hedges nnd re
main during the winter have decided
to break through tradition and sing
as much and ns enrly as they have a
mind to. It seems that they, as well
ns the robins, sing In December and
sing in full vole. Some one has heard
a De Resjike In a thicket, who begins
with the ditybreak, nnd sings as glori
ous a song as nny that he Is wont to ,
sing In the early days of spring.

Wind's Velocity.
It has beeu estimated that a gentle
wind travels about Ave miles per hour,
high wind about 30 to 45 miles per
hour, and a great hurricane SO to 100
miles per hour. The velocity of the
earth on Its own axis exceeds. It Is be
lieved, 1,000 miles an hour. The ve

calculated to be ftl.000 miles per hour,
