PREVENTION OF WASTE. ber Hoover, in keeping with he has been doing in conservation, ppeal to the clergymen hat next Sunday be od-Savinzg Day” with king reference there- ie pulpits of the churches for irposa of reducing the waste that place daily throughout the to the minimum. This is not me the desire of eliminating has been set forth, and it is first time that Mr. Hoover has ion to the need, but it is through the interesting of a r number of people and the di- 1 atten yped rection of thought therets by many who have not previously given the matter the serious consideration that t needs that the desired results will ned a plan which ought to give assistance. Every bit of publicity which can be obtained is valuable and ainly if the churches do net offer the first suzgestion they can reinforce what has been obtained by the people h other channels previously and in bringing about the wide- sread cooperation that is so greatly needed. Mr. Hoover has becn persistently mmering home the importance of = the waste, and well he should, sed production has been re- sponded to by the raisers of crops and it is only proper that the people 10 are dependent upon the produc- should do their part when it comes to makinz the best use thereof. What will amount to increased pro- duction can be accomplished by re- ducing the consumption which is so largely accounted for by material thrown away, which with the proper thought and attention can be utilized. By following such a practice there is no question but what the supplies of this eountry will be sufficient to take care of all requirements and ; H K i enough to look out for the wants of others. While there is such a demand for the blocking of speculators and the hoarding of foodstuffs, there is a responsibility which the people shouid discharge in seeing that right usage is made of that which is available. IN GREECE TODAY. The dethronement of Constantine was expected to be the forerunner of changes in Greece and a new Greek government. That this is already un- derway is evidenced by the resignation of the Zaimis ministry and the an- nouncement of King Alexander that he will call upon Venizelos to form a new cabinet. Disorders have taken place in Athens which French troops have been called upon to put down, and this can be attributed to the re- monstranca which is being made by those of the old rerime who are de- termined not tc sccept the new order i of things passivelv. Tt is hardly i probable that it wil! result in any se- ricus disorder. The tendency of the ireek people has been against the pro- . German activities of the ex-king as { was plainly shown by the great num- | bers who quickly fRocked to the stand- ard of Venizelos and the constant de- l fections which have been taking place in the past few months among the of- { feers and men of the Greek army in the same direction. Venizelos is one of the Greek lead- . ers in whom there is much confidence ed by the rank and file of the This was markedly dispiayed the reception which he received in Athens on his return. He has stood for the uphoiding of the con: of Greece, for the carrving out of the treaty with Serbia. which had respected at the time of the jian invasion of that count would be today a different situation | in that Mediterranean country. And the influence which he is able to bring to bear is likely at this date to cau: Greece to take a decidedly different view if it does not result in its entrs into the war on the side of the en- tente nations. Greece appears now to be in the po ition which it should havs been a year mere ago. The new king shows inclination to follow a different course | than his father and he plans to to his assistance one of the stror men of the nation. As the resuit t entente is going to aid in the adiust- ing of some of the existing Greek problems while it is not bevond limit of p ilities that Greece stand by its friends. will THE SINN FEIN RIOTS. From the riots which are taking place in the 'city of Cork and the un- certainty which is manifested in other sections of Ireland because of the same influence, it can hardly ke claimsd that the Sinn Feiners are do- ing anything to contribute to the s cess of the coming convention ar- ranged for the purpose of endeavoring to adjust the Irish problem of heme ruie. When the convention was first sug- gested, the cry was sent up by faction of the Trish people, which, fror |(he demonsications which had beon made and the resuits which have taken place in certain elections, has been growing in strensth. that they could not participate in any effort to get to- gether on a settlement of the Irish question as long as their fellowmen were locked up in prison. This posi- tion made its appeal to the Dritish government with the result that those rioters who had been locked up in English priscns under varving ser tences were not only releascd but th were granted full pardons. This step was unquestionably taken for the p: pose of eliminating this grievance far as possibie, but from all indi. tions, instead of that act being intor- preted in such a light by the fa leaders it was looked upon as mission upon the part of the government that it had done wr placing them in jaii and to a extent that the Sinn Fe proper. Such a2 view is subsequent disposition vh manifested to disrezard der to the extent that machine j have had to be called into ac | suppress the trouble that was caused. This does not indicate that the fac- tion is going to do its part towards the adjustment of the Irish question in a fair and sengible manner. It indicates rather that there is a determination upon the vpart of the Sinn Feiners to insist upon tlieir demands being com- plied with regardless of the attitude of the rest of the people of Ireland and zives promise of a disposition to wreelk in advance any possibility of a successful outcome of the convention Reason is apparently being thrown to the winds. to being EDITORIAL NOTES.

If the Increased activity on the Russian front is the beginning of a new offensive, Germany has something additional to worry about. Isn't it about time for Germany to anpounce that it will have no respect for the American Red Cross no mat- ter how large the fund is? As long as Constantine insists that he hasn’t iost his throne, brother-in- previous in promising to restore it to him. The celebrations which are being planned for the sane observance of the Fourth ought to have their good effect upon the years which are to come. From the way in which they bob up every now and then, it is quite evident that there is ne such thing as immunity from police seandals in New York city. The pledges of $17,000 or thereahouts which have been made here ean by no means be said to represent Nor- wich’s willingness to give to the Red Cross fund. These are the days when soldiers in all ranks are appearing on the streets, but it is a noticeable fact that there is no great welcome extended to General Humidity.

By National “Tsaritsyn, (also spelled Tzaritzuin) where exiremists are reported to have set up a separate government in defi- ance of the authorities at Petrograd, is one of the most important cities of southeast Russia,” says a war geogra- phy bulletin issued today by the Na- tional Geographic Society from its Washington headquarters. ‘“Not only on “account of its enor- mous railroad traffic, controlling com- merce from middie Russia to the Cas- pian Sea and largely to the Sea of Azov, but also on account of its big gun factory (the Russian Artillery Works Company) established here by the English firm of Vickers in 1914 Just before the Buropean war begap, Tearitsyn is of immense importance to the new republic of Russia. “The city, which has a_population of more than 100,000, is situated on the right bank of the AMississippi of the Russian empire, the River Volga, south from Moscow. All the grain of middle Russia bound for Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea is transhipped from trains to steamers and barges at this point, and here all the salt, fish and fruit cargoes coming from Asirk- han and bound for the Russian inter- ior are transferred to trains. Like- wise, there is important commerce passing through Tsaritssm bound to and from the Sea of Azov and the Crimea via the River Don, as a rall- road some forty miles in length con- nects this city with Kalatch, thus forming an iron link between the Vol- 2a and the Don. “In addition to its commercial ac- tivities, Tsaritsyn has numerous in- dustries, including breweries, distiller- ies, machine shops, tanneries, brick works, and iron foundries. Great naptha and petroleum tanks are ‘o- cated here, handling ‘a considerable partof the Baku oil fields output, and quantities of jam, mead. and the fa- mous mustard of Sarepta (a village of 6,000 inhabitants a few miles to the south on the banks of the. Volga) are shiped from the city. “The rapid growth of Tsaritsyn dur- ing the last decade has bheen due in large measufe to the improvement of the raiiroad facilities.

On the other hand, the pace was so slow that running off the rails would have been merely an amusing episode and even a collision could scarcely have been attended with serious conse- quences.’ “‘Tsaritsyn is a district capital in the government (province) of Saratov. A fort was estabished on the site of the present city In the sixteenth cen- tury, as an outpost againet the incur- sion of free cossacks, of Kalmuks, Cir- cassians and runaway serfs of the lower Volga.

Batu was the leader of a vast Tatar army which in the first half of the thirteenth century overran _all eastern Europe and penetrated to Gal- icia and Poland, finally winning a costly victory over Henry II of Sile- sia, after which their leader retired to the great army of marauders took the name of the Golden Herde. Batu's successors held sway over a large part of Ruseia for more than a cei tury and a half, being finally overcos hy ‘the terrible Tamerlane, in 1395, Only a bare trace of the ruins of the ancient capital of sthe Golden Horde is to be found at Tzarev today.” HOME GARDENS Corn Para: Don’t let the cutworms eat up your corn ehoots, advises today’'s bulletin from the XNational Emergency Food Garden Commission, of Washington, but exterminate them before they can The cui worm clews off the plant at the root, and after it cuts down a stalk it can usually be found imbed- ded in the ground nearby.

The guards at his gates turned away 500 automobile parties last Sunday and some of whom seemed determined to get in in spite of prohibition and ob- stacle.
