MORE TROUBLE IN RUSSIA By JAXE PHELPS IS YOUTH AN ASSET OB A DIS ADVANTAGE? How many troops America has in France is not known unless it is to the administration at Washington and that at Berlin. Of course the French commander also knows the number. That there is a good sized army of them is the general belief. At the same time the dispatches an nounce that England and Italy as well as the United States are rushing troops to help defeat the Hun on the western front. What the average American cannot un derstand is that the immense reserves, claimed by the allies, and the American forces nrn r.nr neorl rn Viol nVmb- i.L r1,,....,-. A -T j j? ,, ,. S n.

If this is true it is a. bad mistake, for the rivalry and emulation of the dif ferent armies and nations, was, and is an important feature. The Hun was stopped Friday, but his drive was resumed today. As there is but little room left for retir ing it would seem that General Foch will soon have to hurl all his available reserves at the advancing hosts or abandon quite a large section of territory. INikolaievitch, son of the former emperor of Russia, em peror. It is stated in this connection that Grand Duke Michael Alexandravitch is the real leader and regent. If this is the case the troubles Russia has had are nothing to what is ahead of her. It is claimed the move is made by or through German influence to get the power away from the Bolsheviki. Just why this should be desired is hard to understand, for the Bolsheviki government was giving Germany about everything it asked for, and was really managed by Germans behind the scenes who pulled the strings and made the puppets dance as they wished. The Russian has always been a keen revolutionist, and was only kept down by the autocratic government of the crars. Now that the people have nad a taste oi treedom, and have lost their fear of the czar, they will never con sent to be ruled by him, or any other ruler of the class. For this reason, if it is a German movement, it is a mis take. The Russian peasant made no kick against the Bolsheviki, government, for the reason that he did not , understand what it was doing for or to him and thought it was all right because, as he imagined, it was a govern ment of his own choosing, and that it was carrying out his wishes. . The masses of Russia have not yet discovered how they have been betrayed by Lenine and Trotsky and they will only learn it when German arrogance opens ji ' Ai -i.il i ri f it. ' meir eyes. Aireaay cms is nappening in aiDena, ana me ' barbarities of the Bolsheviki, at the suggestion of the Prussians among them, practiced. on Russian peasants are caid to be almost as cruel as those of the Huns m Belgium. The Prussian militarists will find that what could be done and got away with in Belgium cannot be duplicated in Russia. There is a difference between terrorizing a couple of million people and 150,000,000. When the latter get aroused, especially situated as they are in Russia, there is going to be someone get more trouble than they were really looking for. ' The Oregonian Sunday has an editorial under the cap tion "No chance for the Profiteer." It shows that so far as contractors for government work is concerned the profiteer has little show.

He is above everything a steel man, and he will build no ships of anything but that material if he can avoid doing so. At the same time if the government will not order wooden ships, there should be a good demand from private capital for tbe output of the coast yards. A whole fleet of wooden chips could find quick employment on-the Pacific and an employment that will keep them busy for some years no matter what happens. If the war keeps up they will be needed to bring the grain of Australia and India to the coast, and if it ends they will be needed still more to assist in rehabilitating a badly wrecked world. At the same time it looks as though with the pressing demand for ships that every available kind would be made. It is not a question of what the ships can he used for after the war. They can go to the scrap heap then if in the meanwhile they do their bit toward annihilating the Hun. We need the ships now and are not indulging in any fits of economy as to results after the war. We want the men and the materials for bring ing the war to a speedy end sent to France just as fast as It can be done. If the wooden ships are too small tor this purpose let them do the coasting work and the traffic on the Pacific releasing every available ship. Holland is literally "between the devil and the deep blue sea." At least she has the sea on one side of her and the kaiser on the other. Amsterdam advices are to the effect that German lead ers realizing that Argentine and Urucuav will soon de? clare war on her have advised the German press what course to rake in mentioning the matter. Even a news paper dare not have an opinion of its own in Germany. The farmer, who has always had to get out at daylight or before and save all of it possible, at the other end of the day too, does not have to get up any' earlier on ac count of setting the clocks ahead, but it must make him smile as he thinks of town folks getting up along with tne sun. General McCain says America can put' three million men on the firing line in France within a year if the ships are provided for transporting them and the munitions and supplies for them. So in the last analysis after all things, the problem reverts to "ships and more ships." The balance of the world would not bother about the. "divine right of kings," or care what the kaiser and his offspring do if they would confine their right to ruling the one country that is willing to stand for them, and not try to make the whole world submit to them. Less than three weeks until the primaries are here. There has never been an election in the state in which so little interest seemed to be taken. s The Hohenzollerns claim the divine right to rule, but to date none of them have taken it upon themselves to show their people how "to die for one's king and country.

A teller is constantly in charge ready to answer questions and take subscriptions. I Rippling Rhyme by Walt Mason IN THE GARDEN It jacks up all my being, to wrestle with the soil; there is a joy in seeing the fruits of nonest ton; there is a joy in growing string beans, in blocks of five, a perfect joy in knowing that I have made them thrive. But for my stern endeavor, with spade and rake and hoe, the weeds would grow for ever where sweet potatoes grow; you'd see the bur and thistle but for the work I do; and so i sing and whistle a gladsome tra la-loo. The wilderness I'm makiner to bios som as the rose, as I go deftly raking, and piying air cooled hoes. Such thoughts as these are boiline and seethino- i while I am daily toiling around my humble home. And there is naught more soothing than thoughts like these, I swear, and naught that beats them smoothing away the lines of care. To do some chore that's useful, to kill a noxious weed, or raise a cabbage juiceful ah, that is joy indeed ! Oh, one may sing and twitter, and twang a harp all day, and not help out a critter who's in the consomme; and one might write like Bunyan, and do it all in vir. but when he rears an onion, he shows he's safe and sane For art is cheap as skittles in crucial times like these- the world must have its'vittles, its radishes and peas.

We were all rathcr quiet until David rallied us. "You'd think sis had died and we wer,? going to bury her.

That sort of woke us up, aud we each ttied to dispel the thought of parting which had saddened us.

Mother fotnd two nice randy boxes and packed them with the fresh candy for me to take en the train, aud we all ate and talked until after midnight. Tlien mother shooed us all upstairs, for all the world lik,o an old hen with her chiekens. But I could not go to bed. I sat long at the window the same window at which I had ofton sat before 1 was married. The uigli was soft and warm for the time of year, and as I opened the window the air felt likfl a moist flower held to my face. It had rained slightly during the evening a wvi spring shower which was already dry on the sidewalks. And from below there stole the scent of rain-water in the wooden tub under the eves at the cor ner of the house; and of the black earth which the boys had lately turn ed 111 preparation for t lie late t lowers. A just-w.'t-out' bed of tulips and hya cinths gave forth a delicate odor. The old scent was insidious aud set me dreaming. The nostalgia of old things was upon me, aud, without any reason, my eyes filU'd with tears which fell unheeded into my lap, or splashed upon the window sill. Self Questioning Why should I weepf Surely, life had been kind to mo. I had married the man I loved; I had a beautiful home; money, and all that it meant in the way of com forts and luxuries.
