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

fully than most people imagine. But
until the Icelanders themselves pro
vide the money there seems to be lit

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could be withdrawn after a short time.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 /

The stories that come from the near
East rather »elleve the Turks from
much odium. 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.

Be Sure Your Repairs are Properly Executed
W hen a tire needs repairing it is best to have the w ork
done by a man who thoroughly understands his busi
ness. Am ateur repairing often results disastrously and
it becomes necessary to buy a new tube or easing.
