Russia is the proble; jfeh time alone will solve, Should - s conclude & separate peace or be 3 akh satisfled to asfume a passive part for the remainder of the war, the task of overcoming’ German autocracy is one that staggers the imagination. Russia, at peace with Germany, would open. her granaries to the Teutonic alftance fori her own economic and" financial ends,,and this would mean that the spectre of starvation that now over- hangs Germany would be dissipated. Furthermore, German, Austro-Hun- &drian, Bulgarian and Turkish troops that are now tholding the line on the east, would be released for service in the west. The combined forces of England and France would hardly be sufficient to block the way of such an avalanche of man-power. The Entente Allfes would have only one source from which to draw men—America. It is not entirely improbable that Rus- sia will effect a separate peace or re- main inactive for the duration of the war. In fact, military chiefs of Eng< land and France have already begun to discount Russia from the standpoint of co-operation on the Hattle fleld. And so, it is seen that the menace.to America is actual, and ‘not imaginary. ‘We have opened our purses to aid the Allies. We have opened our hearts to give them moral support. Now we must close our fists to give them that physical co-operation which is neces- sary to the downfall of the Kaiser. Men, more men! That will be the cry within a few montHs. Is the cry to fall on heedless ears? Are"we to con- tinue to be a nation of talkers? Supreme sacrifices must be made. ‘| Homes. families, everything we hold dear, must be given up for the great task. The blood of Americans must mingle with the blood of thousands of brave Frenchmen and Englishmen who stopped the ‘onrush of the mon- ster. The tears of ‘American women must mingle ‘with the tears of thou- sands of the brave women of Europe, ‘whose husbands, sons and fathers laid ‘{ down ' theip lives on ‘\the ' altar of Democrady. But this will not'be in vain. To counterbalance these sacri- fices will be the knowledge that Vic- tory ‘will kiss the Stars and Stripes 1\ the final hour, that Old Giory will be the megns of stamping out everything that is hateful and repugnant in gov- ernment and that the flag of ‘our fore- fatliers will be flying triumphantly : over the field when the smoke of bat- tle' clears away and .the Angel of Peace descends to ease the sorrows of the world. It is America’s battle from now on. The fate of autocracy rests with Amer- fca, If you aré an American, a real American you will not hesitate in your ‘ oou;‘try‘l hour of stress, If you are & 6.8 Mibther you will tear self- love from your heart and bid your'son to go forth to battle, . the cause is just andthat SAFE AND SANE, Because Secretary of Agriculture Houston has urged upon women the strict- necessity of practicing effective economy in thejr homes by con- serving foodstuffs and clothing many fear that'a wave. of parsimony is’ lable to sweep over the country. There is no such danger. The Ameri- can people will never practjce economy so_ rigidly that it will become akin . to disaster. The nature of the American is to spend., The appeal now is to his better sense, to have him hold in, to make him refrain from throwing. money away. ‘Because the male of the species is apt to be more reckiess than. the female, in spending, the women of the nation have n asked to apply the brakes. There is no need that any- body, man or woman, become miserly in qxda’r to safeguard the country from famine, Indiscriminate pur- chasing of unnecessary things is the. Teal thing to curtail. S Food conservation is a policy that muvy‘beedme nationwide 1f it is to get anywhere. Fach man and woman,] rich ‘or "poor, can aid the government at’ this tirre. In helping the ‘govern- ment of the United States the gov- ernment nt 1 those nations fighting the" fight of Democracy will in turn ‘be benefitted. The problems of the FEntente Allles are the problems of America. By refraining from foolish buying, by cutting down expenses formerly associated with luxuries ‘and confining the spend- ing ©f money to ' those commodities that go to make up the necessaries of life, Ameticans can ald greatly to alleviate conditions growing out, of the world war. The conditions of to- day will soon demand that something be done unless there is voluntary sav- ing on the part of the'people. Fail- ing to heed the "advice’of Secretary Houston, the hames of all Americans may. soon be compelled. to practice economies that can be easily learned under tne plan: suggested. - Con- ditions lmposed by war fall alike on all classes. 4 We, as 2 wlefl Jun baslnnlhg to realize’ that disapter stands in'the offtng and that its vile head may be lowered upon our shos defs uniess we prq.u. to practice theift. Famine l estilence 'are as apt to follow the world war as are plenty and happi- ness. Food and financial conditions are changing every week, every day, every hour, every minute. Wheat has reached prices not known since’the war between the states, Meat and vegetables have almost gone beyond the limit of purchase. There can be. no! relief expected from . Europe: Every nation banded together in-the war against Germany depends upon the United States of America. We are called upon to feed the world: These are the facts in the case.. They demand attention: Nor should the practice of economy be attended by hysteria. . There is a safe and sane way of doing everything. and In his last moments, Francis B. ‘Young, a veteran of the Civil war who died yesterday in Jollet, Ill., called his only son to his hedside and sald: “Your great-great-grandfather died in the Revolution;” your great-grandfa- ther d{ed in the War of 1812, and I was in the Civil war with four ¢f my brothers, three of whom Were killed. I want you to enlist and keey dip the fighting honor of your fam- #ly.* The boy enlisted in the army last night.

The Kaiser's Govern- ment should then be notified of their Ppresenice, and if he murdered he would murder his own. As each ship went down his subjects could line up on the torpedo side and thank . the Kaiser for his many blessings.” But why expose even German pris- oners to the meroy of'the Kaiser? Anyway, the farmers are getting n lot of good advice. FACTS AND FANCIES.

THE SOLDIER'S HEALTH AND HOW HE CAN PROTEOT IT. NO DUTY OF THE SOLDIER IS more important than the care of his health. A sick soldier 15 worse than no soldier. . Not.onlv is he a dead weight, but he requires the services of other men in taking care of him. A ‘company which has twenty sick men ‘would be better off if it were actually twenty men short of its quota, because the twenty sick men are of no mili- tary valye and put an extra drain upon the regimental organization. Much, if not most, sickness is avoid- able, with proper sanitary and medi- cal precautions, and, much of it, cer- tainly, may be a man’s own fault. The matter of health {s especially important to the new soldier . since those whoge lives have been seden- tary, are exceedingly susceptible to iliness when they first start to live under camp conditions. The change of food, change of surroundings, change of air, and change of habits are often too revolutionary for the system all at once, unless the soldier pays particular attention to his health. The stomach, especially in warm weather, is the principal seat of - ress, and it is here that the new eol-, dler -has his fate—his efficlency as a soldier and his usefulness ‘to the command—Ilargely in his own harfds. If, before he {s well seasoned in P, he eats between meals; if he food not set before him at mes 8- pecially the most- tempting pies ‘and cakes and cream-puffs from home; if ho hangs about the canteen buying candy, nuts or cookies, he is almost inly destined to be ill- And such fllness may be no trivial matter, at that, since it mly start a whole/train ALIEN ENEMIES T0 BE SENT TO CAMPS German Sallors to Bo Deaioed in " North Carolina Washington, May 9.—Arrangements for placing all interned alien enemies in permanent detention umfiu} ‘where they will be well housed and given work at fair wages, have been com- pleted by Secretary Wilson of the Labor department. An official an- nouncement says the first camp will be established o a 500-acre tract of acricultural land in the mountains of North Carolina, and that the 1,800 of- fiere and satlors taken from Geyman erchant veasels in American har- bors will be the first aliens to go there The statement adds that Secretary ‘Wiiton expects the necessity will soon avise for the establishment of addi- tioral camps. Ia addition to enemy aliens the de- partment plans to care for other aliens who cannot be admitted to this country under the immigration laws, and whose deportation is impossible on account of the war, as well as for feeble-minded = immigrants. Those rlaced in camps will be segregated in three classes—enemies, other aliens and the feeble-minded. Saflors Go This Week, ¢ The first detachment of 50 to 100 German sailors will go to the North Carolina camp this week from Ellis Island. There is & summer hotel on the camp tract, which originally was cestined for club purposes. In addi- ticn to a large central building therec are forty cottages, with accommeda- tions for from seven to fifteen men each. All buildings are “well fitted and up to date in construction and sanitary arrangements- - A large lake afiords opportunity for swimming and boating. Some two hundred acres are unde: cultivation and the interned men will be employed on this work at first, while plans are being made for the developtent of industries in which thefr labor can be mrned to profitable account. Secretary Wilson pointed out that with the approach of warm weather, it was necessary. that opportunities be provided for interned persons to work and obtain recreation in pleasant sur- roundings. “The government desires,” he said, ‘o treat interned persons with the greatest courtesy, and make the con- ditions under which they must live as pleasant as possible, “Under The Hague treaty,” he said, “thi- government is empowered to work the interned men or to farm them' out to individuals or corpora- tions. When ‘worked by the govern- ent they will receive the pay of sol- “@iers. anl when farmed out will be remunerated at prevailing wage rates. After making deductions for their maintenance, the interned men will be given at the time of their dis- churge by the government whatever sums they shall have earned. “The men in the camp in North Carclina will be used to cultivate the tract, and will be farmed out for lumberifig and road building- In view of the necessity for guards these two latter occupations appear to be the only one in which they can be con- veniently worked by private capital. “Arrangements have been made with thé departiment of agriculture for the employment ¢f a number of men at road building on'the Vanderbilt tract that adjoins the camp, and which ‘has been taken over by that ldeplnmentu a forest preserve.” | most dangerots of ail of disorders, from c! ps to dysen- | tery. * The extent of the Allness will probably depend upon the degree of the new soldier’s vitality, that is, his capacity to resist it. ' _Another prolific source of 1llness ™ay be in what a man drinks Al- cohol in every form should be avoid- ed; & glass of beer may disturb the whole digestive organization. And the dyved fluids sold at the ‘“pop #hacks” at the edge of the camp are to be severely shunned. They are responsible for much!of the work which devolves upon army surgeons. They often are poisonous to the sys- tem, and at best are conducive to in- disposition. The one way in which the }oung soldier keep himself in ‘health, ex- cept for circumstances which are be- yond~his control, is by his care of the Lody and its habits. If he is always clean, his pores function ‘properly and throw off the wastes; if hé keeps the bedy well clothed, that is, protected against the weather, he will not catch cold and the pores will not therefore become clogged and cease to work. He should, as has beqn said, see to it that the body 1is erly—and not improperly—fed. He should keep his ‘lungs filled with fresh air. He should keep the body thoroughly exercised, but without} exhaustion, for exhaus- tion lowers the vitality and the conse- quent resistance to disease.- For the same reason, he should keep the body refreshed by a sufficient amount of sleep. Tomorrow’s article will tell how the soldier should care for his health when on the march.

The statement deolares that as the dominang parties of England, France, and Belgium will not attend, the conference will be under the control of German delegates whose purpose will be to lure a large Rus- slan delegation to the Swedish capi- tal, and induce them by any and all sorts of pressure to. work for a sep- arate Russian peace. This statement by prominent Amer!- can socialists, which brands American delegates to the Stockholm conference as pro-German, is regarded as highly important by the state department. The American government, like the government of the other allies, had been watchings developments in Rus- | sia with strained attention. The re- cent victory of the provisionai govern- ment over the councll of workmen’'s and soldiers’ deputies has confirmed reports from'iAmerican . Ambassador Francis that the new republican re- gime is determined on vigorous prosecution of the war. But this vic- tory was achieved by a narrow mar- gin of less than forty votes in an as- sembly of well over.2,000, and it is not expected that Germany will ac- cept her first defeat there as final, but will continue her eftorts” for _Russian disunfon within the Russian’ separa-’ tion from the Allies.

He had nothing to say in his defense. The first time, much weakened by the cxudv’ use of liquor, he was committed to the Town Farm and was later transferred to the New Britain General hospital to un- dergo treatment for alcoholism. His second appearance was productive of the promise to go to relatives in an- other city. He was found last night in a helpless condition by Policeman Joseph Kennedy. WHOLE FAMIDY DISAPPEARS.
