An American intelligence officer, writing from Siberia, says that he read In hytue papers of the sacrifices Amerlciiiis were making to send grain to Runsia. and then he looked Out of the window and snw that grain that had been cut and slacked up two years ago. and had been left »landing there to rot. For one reason or another the Russians had simply failed to lake advantage of their own opportunities, says Binghamton Press. There Is no reason to suppose tlint the peasants umler the dictatorship of Lenine are more thrifty thuu they are under the rule of4 Kolchak In Siberia. We hear a great deal ubout the “blockade” of Russia. Well-meaning women In New York a few dnys ago held a demon stration against such a policy. But Russia In normal times Is the granary of Europe. The country has been free from the menace of serious German attack for more than two years. Rus sia's sufferings today areVlargely the result of InteAial paralysis. And, if the natives can ever be persuaded to stop fighting among themselves and to give us a chance to help them onto their feet, the greatest thing we can do for them will be to lend them the services of trained organizers. There Is n man In Iceland, so the tale goes in an American newspaper, who has given many years of his career, and traveled "In Europe and America s e e in g knowledge and finan cial help, in an unsuccessful effort to Initiate a project for setting the gla cial rivers and rapids of that little country to work generating electricity and providing light, heat, and power to make his nutlve land more "live able." Other Icelanders, it seems, re gard him as a dreamer; yet, as a com mentator points out, the dream Is be ing proved a reality In an increasing number of places, and falling w’ater la generating electricity more success fully than most people imagine. But until the Icelanders themselves pro vide the money there seems to be lit tle likelihood that its rivers will he utilized. In the Real To bacco Chew. You get satisfaction.

I ton C om pany,' B»7-’.BroVd/>r»y Mrotigly urged Oh the Unlffed State«, that for Ar menia, Is opposed by former Ambas sador Gerard. He says that one very practical form of government aid would he to open a route from the Black see and to send In over this route food and clothing to meet the needs of the near future. But the work of insuring safe communication might ho done by a force o f marines, who could be withdrawn after a short time. In his view, what Armenia requires Is formal recognition by the great powers as an Independent nation, per mission to form an army of her own of about 80,000 men and such other assistance In the w«y4 of credit as may be supplied from private sources. “The Armenians do not want to he nursed, Mr Gerard wrote the senate. The very fact that they do not want to he nursed Is an excellent guarantee of creditable national achievement in Ihe future. "Nursing” only impair» the sense of responsibility and Inculcates a feel lag that whatever the difficulties they Involve themselves In. they have only to call on someone else to ex- trlente them, says St. Louis Post-Dis patch. If the Armenians, after centu ries of racial existence, cannot work out their own salvation, now that they are freed from oppression and given their chance under the normal support of the world, when will they be able to assume a self-respecting position / John H astings, a w ell known and popular farmer of the Hay Canyon d istrict, died at St. Vincent hospital in Portland last Saturday evening, the funeral being Tield Monday from the home of his mother at Vancouver, Wash.

We have heard much of Turkish massacres, but n<fw we are hearing that when the Greeks. Bul garians, Armenians, and other com ponents of the former Turkish empire get a chance they rival the Turks In the atrocities they commit, says Baltl- , more American. The Turks made mas sacres to preserve a show of peace in the empire, while the other coun tries, as soon as they got a chance, paid off all old scores upon their neigh bors. Just now the stories of Greek atrocities are most in evidence.

Statistic« printed In un insurance j advertisement In the State Journal the other day did not speak very well for American thrift. They showed for ln- staiace, tha|, of every 100 men start ing life with a fair chance, 15 are de- ’pendent at the age of 45, 23 nt the age of 55 and no fewer than 40 nt 65. At the last named Hire 44 of «lie orlglpal 100 are dead, so Hint only 10 have amassed competencies or are able to earn enough to support themselves.
