EXTERMINATION
Knoweldge That Famine, Cholera and
Disease Would Take Terrible Toll
of Life, Caused Allies to Intervene
to End Intolerable Conditions Ex
isting Under Regime of Anarchy.
(By Harold Kdwln Bechtol.)
J,0.'D0X, Aug. 22. Intervention
1n Russia comes on the heels of In
formation to the allied powers that
before next summer 20,000,000 peo
ple would die In Kuropean and Asi
atic Russia if tho terrible conditions
prevailing ere allowed to continue.
This estimate was given the allies
by men officially described as "good
judges."
Starvation Threatens
. Starvation, cholora and other dis
eases arising from had sanitation and
malnutrition, and slaughters of con
flicting groups of Russians, were the
causes that would take tho tonible
toll of human life, according to the
information furnished the allies.
These figures were in the hands of
the allied diplomats before the allied
warships and troops were sent to the
Murnian coast, and of course before
the decision for intervention in Si
beria. According to the British view,
while allied intervention will thus be
a mercy expedition, the allies will bo
In a most favorable position with the
Russian millions If, by some sort or
organization, they can bring relief to
the people, after tho chuos that the
Germans and their tools among -the
Bolshevik! t'tirred up.
Time Ik Opportune
. In this connection It should be re
membered that agreement between
the allies and the .Murman council
provides that the people are to te
furnished with food and financial as
sistance from allied countries.
Intervention .therefore comes at a
psychological moment, according to
the view taken In British circles. The
time .could hardly have been more
opportune.
Suffering, and sick of Iho fight tor
a mere existence that the mndo-in-Uermany
disorganization has brought
them, the people of Russia are repre
sented as ready for almost anything
that resembles ordor and organiza
tion.
lr the allies are able to set up
order and help the Russian millions
get food, a long step toward tho re
establishment of a battle line In the
cast will be taken.
And with the swinging of the
"odds" from the central powers to
the allied powers, Germany now
stands to lose in far greater degreo
than the allies, by any diversion from
the main show in the west.
Tho allies, tho London Times
points out, "go in as friends of the
Russian people, and it is for the Rus
sian people to choose what govern
ment tlioy will have."
('.echo-Slovaks' i'uvt
Intervention In Russia has boon
made possible by the 100,000 Czecho
slovak soldiers who have occupied
more than 2T00 miles of the Trnas
Siherian railway from Tensa, In the
hoart of Kuropean Russia, to Lake
Baikal, In Siberia.
Tho Czccho-Slovaks, whose aid to
the allied cause Is, the Times says,
"are yet but Imperfectly appreciated
by allied opinion" are men who were
forcibly drawn by the ltui'sburgs to
fight Russia. On many occasions thoy
refused to fight those whoso cause
they recognized as their own and
largo numbers went over to tho Rus
sian ranks, particularly after the
rovlntjon.
When the llolshcvlki rule sent con
ditions from bad to worse, the
Czccho-Slovaks kept up their organi
sation and still nourished their hope
to be of service against tho German
masters.
They soon found they could servo
by sotting themselves counter to the
Gorman schemes of ponetratlon and
exploitation In European Russia.
Thoy did that. And then they spread
tholr organization eastward, helping
the people in local districts and ex
tending their power until it now
forms tho groundwork for allied aid
for Russia.

WASHINGTON', 22. Before
fall President Wilson will iot into the
'fijjlit to control the next congress mid
will ask the country to give him n
democratic majority in sympathy not
only with his plan for conducting the
war, but aUo with the great recon
struction schemes lie has in mind ut
ter "eace comes.
, For some time now Democrats all
over the country have been worried
about the Wilsonian altitude. They
saw him ask Henry Kord, republican,
to run for the senate in Michigan, and
they noted that he jrave his tacit sup
port to such republicans as liorah of
Idaho, NVmui o'.' Minnesota and Keu-
yon of Iowa. Instead of giving; his O.
K. to any democrats so far save
U. J. Harris, senatorial candidate in
(Jcoruia he has contented himself
with opposing- Congressman Slayden
of Texas, who at once got out of the
race for renornination, and with ask
ing; the voters to defeat Vardamnn of
Mississippi and Mardwick of Georgia.
IhiiMxints .Aroused
1 understand that the result of this
lias been a perfect fiood of mail at
the White House asking: whether the
president doesn't care for democratic
control of congress. Democrats are
asking- whether he subscribes to the
doctrine of the Indiana republican
platform, drafted under the watchful
eyes of National Chairman Will Hays,
in which the claim is made that the G.
O. I', is tho real war party, has given
the president the best support, and,
therefore, should be put in charge of
congress.
No one can sneak by the card for
the president, but let's lay down this
prediction: Some time before late
fall the president will in a letler for
publication answer one of his anxious
inquiring- democratic friends, lie will
make clear the following- things:
Guess on Opinions
First lie thinks the republican
party is still the party of special in
terests and of reaction, as indicated
by . the leadership and dominance of
such people as Hoies I 'en rose of
Pennsylvania.
Second He decidedly thinks the
Democratic, party is the party of the
plain people, the party whose leader
ship consists of forward looking men.
Third That quite as important as
winning the war decisively is the ne
cessity of having in mind a definite
plan of national reconstruction when
the peace comes. It is very probable
that (lie president will go into some
considerable exposition of ust what
reconstruction measures he has in
mind. Part of thesu have already
been outlined in Hie democratic slate
plalform of Indiana. The "iiestion of
railroad control, water power devel
opment, arid lands, (he future of the
returning- soldiers, all these may b,;
touched upon.
President WMmui expects to ma ;c
some speeches Ibis full in support ...
the Kourlh l.jlnrty loan. He will
probably give the rouiM;y in f:!l hi-;
vision of what needs to be done after
the war is over.
And is is not improbable 1 1 : 1 1 ait.-r
this Liberty loan tour, iie may ! in
duced to make one or two , nebc
in which lie will s't forth in '. . i
forward manner why lie would lik. to
have his own party in control in con
gress during the crucial and critical
remaining; years of his term in of
August lit, 1918.

"Carnation" to the hurried fruit farmer at
this time of year especially means freedom
from the costly annoyance of caring for cows.
To his wife it is just as much a blessing, for
it gives her exactly the quantity of fresh,

If you had to make airplane trips
frequently and had to buy a machine
fur the purpose, you would lake tin;
utmost care in selecting it.
You would realize that your life, to
a ureal, extent, depended upon the
judgment you used in making the se
lection. '
I'uying directly from a ' catalogue
wouldn't interest you.
You would be interested most in a
machine made hy a manufacturer wMio
was widely known as a maker of re
liable airplanes.
You would rather buy from a friend
that you knew was interested in your
welfare.
Most of all, you would want to
see that machine to go over every
part of if before you bought it.
The same principle ought to hold
good in Inlying a farm implement.
lit such inlying, also, much depends
upon your judgment. Your crop-product
inn profit; depends largely upon
it. You want an implement that you
can absolutely rely on to help you
make the most of time.
Why not take the same rare in se
lecting farm implements that you
would take in selecting an airplane'?
II will pay you always.
Our store has every advantage that
such careful buying requires. Come in
