These state organizations have been prepared for it since the open- ing of the war and have been indus- trially at work for the purpose of bringing the number of their enlisted men up to the war strength and get- ting ready their equipments for the time when they would be called into th= federal serviee. The call which has been issued through the governors of the different states is for the purpose of plet- ng all the details in eonnection with their departure for mobilization cen- ters, points which are to be made known later, and at which points all ch organizations are to be drafted nto the service of the United States for such duty as they mayv be called upon to perform, whether it be inside or outside of the country. There is no question but what there will be a quick response to this call. These guardsmen are for the most part readv to move at the present time and at the mobilization centers the entire body will be sworn in all tozether. This will mean an addition of a third of a million to the arm: the nation, in addition to the regulars snd later on will come the army to be raised by conser: m of nearly 700,- 390 men, thus pushing the land forces up to abhout a million and a third. A large part of the national guard has had some valuable training through the activity which they par- ticipated in along the Mexican bor- der, in addition to the knowledge which they previously possessed con- serning the technicalities of war, but liowing their draft into the federal service they will commence a term of intensive training which will make them still more fit for any defensive or offensive duty which they will be *alled upon to perform. And they will zo with the confidence ~f the country ‘hat they will perform well whatever they are given to do. THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE. Try as they will the Austro-Ger- mans cannot check the advance which s beinz made by the Russians under Zeneral Korniloff against Lemberg the Galician capital. Since the open- ng of their offensive the Russians nave been making remarkable head- wxay. They have succeeded not only n capturing much territory but they have taken large numbers of prison- >rs and quantities of supplies, and from this state of affairs it shows that there is more than a strategic retreat urderway by the centra] power: Whether or not Russii has returned to activit ticipated before the enemy had an- or In advance of prepara- ns to offset it, there are reasons for beljeving that the new campaign finds the oppoments in a much weakened state and that the drive is for that increased Taking advantage of the con- Hlowing the revolutien. and s wero being made for a separate peace, Germany and Austriz withdrew many i its soldiers from the eastern front to fight azainst the British and French In northern France and Beigium and against the Italians in eastern Austria. Try as they will, reason being pressed with vigor. even with such reinforcements, the central pywers are unable to check the prosress of the allies while the Russians ure reaping the benefit cof their rest and the conditions whicn exist on tie castern battle line. The capzur> of Halicz gives the Sswesjans an :mportant point from Subscription price 12¢ a week; Goc a which to strike at Lemberg and from| the manner which the enemy is fleeing there is no telling where they will be able to make a successful stand. Russia 1s thus giving the al- lies most important aid at a very de- sirable period GERMANY'S TROUBLES. Germany is having its troubles within as weil as without. It Is a period of anxiety for the kaiser like no other which has been faced during the war for not only are his armies on the defensive and meeting with seri- ous reverses. and Austria in a state of uncertainty sufficient to give him plenty of worry during any of the spare moments that he may get, but rizght at home there are evidences of serious discontent which not only point to changes in the cabinet over the question of policy but which may lead to a revolution as determined and far reaching as that which has oc- curred in Russia. ‘There has been a demand in Ger- many for some time that the term:{.?l e which will make peace be nounced. There is also a demand tRat Germany abanden its present sul - rine warfare and let the world know that it is prepared to end the war without seeking amy annexations or without demanding any indemnities. This, however, is not to the liking of Chancelior von Bethmann-Hollwez. He insists that Germany can win if it holds out and that it must not de- part from its purpose. That unques- tionably represents the attitude of the kalser and such being the case he is bound to stand by the chancellor and sanction the supplanting of other members of the ministry with new men. which of course means men who are in sympathy with the chancellor's ideas. Such, however, will not satisfy the demands which are being made by certain leaders in the reichstaz, so that whatever changes are made now it is unlikely, to improve the situation much. With the conditions as they are in Berlin and along the eastern and western front Germany shows serious signs of slipping, and it is a question whether it can overcome the tendency. A JUST CONVICTION. The verdict of the jury and the sentence imposed by the judge in the case against Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman. charged with con- spiracy to violate the United States draft law will be regarded as a proper administration of justice. These in- dividuals have been long demonstrat- ing the fact that they have little or no respect for law of any kind. They have repeatedly confused license and liberty and labored under the idea that they could carry on such propa- zanda as they pleased and do what- ever they liked whethar it was in vio- lation of the laws of this country or not. They were given a full and impar- tial trial and it must have been ap- parent to them, following the mannerl in which they repeatedly antagonized the court and insisted upon havine their own way in conducting the trial, an attitude characteristic of their seneral conduct, that in case of con- viction they would receive the maxi- mum penaity for their offense. Their course was deliberate. It was impos- sible for them to plead iznorance. They knew ‘hev .were violating the law and with such leaders in the toils and found guilty the best lesson is going to be taught by the imposition of the full penalty. It was only.to be expected that they would put forth the claim that they were convicied because they were an- archists and not because they °had committed a crime. Such is their method of attempting to belittie jus- tice and exalt their cause, but their conviction will give them and their followers to understand that the laws of this country must be obeved and that they cannot be trampled upon with impunity. The country will be better off for their imprisonment and it will have cause to celebrate the day when they are deported and disposed of forever. EDITORIAL NOTES. Inasmuch as an air raid has already been made upon Peking. it cannot be said that the republic of China is so slow. The nets that the sharks are com- ing north arrives just in time to make things interesting again for the shore resorts. The man on the corner savs: Those who wear furs in the summer time don’t seem to have any consideration for the moths. When Vienna admits that the Rus- sians are succeeding in their efforts in Galicia, even the pessimistic wiil have to agree that it is so. With food riots in Amsterdam, Co- lozne and the Moravian coal fields of Austria it does look as if the small consumer was not any too abundantly provided with things to eat. There is of course deep Interest in the forthcoming events in Berlin, but there can never be much reliance placed in anything now which bears the “Made in Germany” imprint. That Hartford man who tried to enlist as a single fellow, only to have his wife peach on him, may reali that there are as grave dangers in do- mestic strife as in international con- flicts. With preparations for the draft un- derway and the national guard to be mustered into federal service, greater interest in the part which this coun- try is taking in the war is bound to be manifested. 3 Action is finally being taken against German agents in this country, but the agents are fully aware as to who is responsible for it, and an effective dose of spy medicine ought to put an end to their activities. Those of the Austro-Germans who will not run are being put in their graves or sent to Russian prison camps. Kerensky and Brussilof are getting the big bear that walks like a man back onto its feet. In calling a meeting of the neutrals it is possible that the kalser wants to tell them what will happen to them if they dare to shut off the supplies which they have been getting in this country and sending to Germany. If it is so that the Turkish army is suffering from epidemics and star- vation can it be imagined that Con- stantinople will look upon it as retri- bution for the manner in which the Armenians and Syrians have been treated ? Gl “I'm going to write a letter to the president of the United States with a suggestion,” said the little stenogra- pher. “I have read that the hardest part of the army work is getting the men used to discipline, to ol superiors and keeping hours and lim- its, and all that. 1 know the very man who can inculcate these things in the bosoms of the poorest material He can do it without so much as a hara word. I'm going to suggest that the president send for Mr. Gray.” The bookkeeper turned his head around suddenly and gazed at her while he held his pen in midair. “Wait untii I finish” persisted the little stenographer before the book- keeper had a chance to say a word. “I'd_have our Mr. Gray just stand around, if i were the commander in chief of the army, where the soldiers were trving to grasp the real mean- ing of discipline. And Mr. Gray would merely need to look. “Yesterday I had a bad day, from the time I got up till I got to bed,” said the little stenographer _after pausing for breath. “I couldn’t find anything 1 needed in the morniyps, so I was ate ta_breakfast and I was late downtown and what do you Sup- pose? You know ordinarily Mr. Gray does not get here until long after I do, but who should greet me when I came in late but Mr. Gray! I started to ex- plain lucidily, and calmly just why I was late, thinking he'd suspect meé of similar tardiness as a reguar thing when he wasn't here first. That would be horrid and so uncalled for. Every one knows, or at least might know, that, that I am always here promptly, except, of course. once in a while for delayed cars and wrecks and bridges and larm clocks and such annoyances. “But when I opened my mouth to explain exactly why I was behind time vesterday, Mr. Gray merely looked at me—a sad, sorrowful, bewildered, hurt. you-too-Brutus sort of look. And hen he went into his private office and shut the door! Of course I didn't follow him to finish my explanation. “Then the first thing he asked a le while later when he had called me in for dictation was: ‘Did you re- member to order my Puilman reser- vation for this noon? Of course I had utterly neglected it in the rush last night. But when I began to teil him how it happened, Mr. Gray lifted those accusing ¢ his head. And it ‘And then he called up sat bac til] 1 feit 3 guilty as a submarine. “And them, of course, still later the morning 1 had to bring him a let- s col mif - tly shoved that letter from me to the word and bacl i‘o"::n. It was awful! And then he sighed like a deposed czar and I hum- bly rewrote the whole letter, hoping that the noise of the busy typewriter would cheer him up! “And if our Mr. Gray was made chief disciplinarian for the army and he was put doewn with the soldiers when they wanted ieave goodness, how they'd stick around! speak from bitter experienc T'm the one who knows “1 wanted to go to lunch with an out of town friend, so I had to ask Mr. Gray, of course. He listened pa- tiently and judicially while I ex- plained why and who and where and when. And then, as he continued dumb, I repeated it all lest he hadn't heard. After a while he looked up. And hig dumb eyes sais T am too Fenerous to refuse. but you have no right to ask. You're paid a munifi- cent salary to stay here and you ought to realize it. I will probably need you the minute you g0 and you'.l probably leave things in such shape that if there's a fire valuable papers would be lost because of your carelessness. And then he nodded and said he guessed so! “Tt was a very dreadful experience. Imagine how much 1 enjoyed that lunch! And think ~ how the soldier laddies would rather stay in camp than ask our Mr. Gray for permission to_wander around outside. , 1 think I've made a national discovery, and I'm going to write that letter to the president before I &o home tonight. “I don’t bame vou for wishing him on to some one.” said the bookkeeper. “It must be very trying when one is compelled to be on time every day.” “You're a horrid thing.” said the little stenographer. “and I'll never tell vou another of my beautiful plans.’— Chicago News. CANNING LESSONS Gooseberry—Canned, Jeily. In the canning of gooseberries it isj essential that care to be taken to grade the fruit to get a uniform pro- duct, says today’s bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating with this newpaper in its campaign for thrift and for the prevention of waste in food products. The gooseberries should be picked cver, stemmed, and washed in a Co- lander by pouring cold water over them, and then blanched for a minute in boiling water. Remove and plunge immediately into cold water for an instant and pack tightly into jars, filling jars with hot water, or sirup made of a cup of sugar dissolved in three cups of water. Adjust tops and partially tighten them, and then ster-- ilize for sixteen minutes. After ster-| ilization, remove jars from boiling water, tighten tops and invert to_cool in place free from draughts. Wrap in_paper to prevent bleaching. Je'ly.—Plice clean fruit in an en- amel lined preserving kettle with a few crushed berries at the bottom to prevent scorching and heat slowly | with frequent stirring. After the fruit is hot, crush and strain through deu-{ tle square of cheesecloth placed on | sleve, allowing juice to drip through cloth. Do not squeeze out juice but ! gently :ift the opposite corners of the ! cloth and roll mass bacs and forth | occasionally. Strain juice through = flannel bag to get a more transparent jelly. Measure juice and put in inte a clean preserving kettle, brine to a boil | again. Boii four minutes after addi- tion of suzar. Have clean glasses ready in hot water and as soon as juice has come to a bol skim and pour liquid into glasses. Place the| glasses on a board in a cool, Sunny window, where the air ix free from dust. After the jelly .has set. cover glasses in the fol'owing manner. Cut out pieces of paper to fit glass- es. put a few drops of 95 per cent. grain aleohol on the top of the jelly. @ip the paper in the alcohol and place on the jelly. Pour meted paraffin on top of the paper to the depth of a quarter of an inch. If tin covers aré available, put them on glasses: if there are no covers, cut discs of writ- ing paper half inch larger than glass- es, dip in mixture of the white of an cgg, and a teaspoon of water and seal r top of glasses. B S — Readers of THE BULLETIN By sending this coupon to the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, inis own will this unpleasant truth, for I have promised. ‘ I came to France the lother day through seas menacing with mines and submarines. Vith me came some three hundred splendid young men who could mot wait to be drafted— types of the best we have, the flower of our yeuth, going to the front to drive ambulances. Suc¢h they are, but it cannot be denied that among our shipload were some — fortunately a few only—who shduld not have been allowed to come and who having es- caped the censor of such material, should have been sént back at the landing stage. [ hear that some, if not all, will be so treated. To the easy viceés of shipboard they succumbed without a_struggle. When as in one case. the offender is a lead- er, the tragedy of excessive drinking and gambling en such a trip shouid not be glossed over, in faet, it cannot be. Such men endanger not their own lives but the iives of others, which is of more consequence. 1 quote one of the nice chaps, of whom 1 have epoken, who voiced not alone his own sentiments: “I think that everr man who is sent over, particularly those in charge of a mnit or part of a unit, should be examined not only for his proficiency with a machine but for his morale.” No man is a leader who cannot lead along the path of seif control. There is no6 pace for such young men in France. Do not iet the fine bovs who come be discounted by the presence of black shéeep. It is too laté whén they get hére. The remedy is not to send them. There was at the moment of my visit to the Auxiliary Service, the or- ganization which takes care of the men and materials arriving here from the United Statés and sees that they reach their destination, one of _the “Commuters” held in a hotel in Bor- deaux by the policé who aid not wish to imprison him for nét paying his board bill and other debis. “Commuters,” T am informed. is the vernacular for these bad bovs of the Ambulance Corps who have to bé sent back, too many, alas. having met that fate sincé the Service was started. As there i$ fo fund eStablished. the Aux- iiary was busy telegraphing to Paris for the wherewithal to start the Prod- igal Son on his héméward path, which it whs expectéd and heped would be provided by either the Norton Har- jes officials or those of the American Ambulanée. So my question as to whether it would not be a good idea to have military rule established on board ship came in rather apropos. It & said that the boys are ex- tremely amenable to the discipline that is éxerted when they land and it is believed they would be equal'y so if this were exerted at the sta‘ting point instead of the end of the jour- ney. That is all—it is mecessary that it should be written. 210 Maryland Bidg., D G with a two cent stamp to pay post- age a canning and drying manual free of charge.

Washington, e AR - DS SRR Street State Views of the Vigilantss SOME WHO- SHOULD STAY AT HOME. By Gertrude Lynch of The Vigilantes. (Miss Lynch was a war correspond- ent in France for two years, writing vivid human stories for the New York “Sun.” Then the strain made her pause and she returned to Ameriea for a rest. Now she is back again, this time for The Vigilantes, the organiza- tion of authors working for the coun- try.) Just before I left New York an Englishman, there on his country's work from whom I have letters to help mine, said: “Tell the truth whatever it ‘is. We haven’t had enough of it in this war.

At the close of that century It was blockaded by the fleet of Gustavus I1I, but the Swedish king was In turn biockaded in the Guif of Viborg and it was with diffi- culty that he ran the gauntlet of Rus- sizn ship and saved his forces. In 1812 the province and city were re- united to the grand-duchy of Finland. “The Saima Canal, which was built ir. '1845-36. is one of the most pic- turesnue artificial waterways in the world.
