I*Right is More Precious than Peacs” e JAPAN AND RUSS!A. It ie quite evident that all the de- falls regardimg the possible entrance of Japan into eastern Siberia are not Jmown. The situation is made all the more ticklish by the chaotic eondi- tions which are existing today in Rus- #ia. That Japan is going to eend an jnto Siberia for the protection east against the encroachment central powers is quite evident.

The utilization of the wood Which is thus going to waste, as the New Hampshire man says, involves how- ever a small army of men, many horses and carts and not a few rafi- road cars if it ia going to be cut, cord- ed, haujed to the stations and distrib- uted among the cities and towns of the six statés, and the help and trans- portation facilities which are needed arg as barg to get as the wood is dis- tant from many of the households. But the wood in the forests is not the only thing which is going to waste In New England. This part of the country is abundantly supplied with water privileges. Many are being util- ized but there are many others which have undergone no development what- ever. They are practically as nature left them but if they were made use of it would be possfble to furnish through hydro-electric plants a much greater propertion of the power which is now secured by dependence upon coal as fuel and the benefit to New England would be of the great- est value, and the chance to get this power is much better than that of get- ting the wood of the northern forests to the New England households. Such a reduction in fuel for power pur- poses would at the same time leave the rail and water facilities less con- gested for the movement of coal for housebold use to this part of the country. i g i if H! WAR GARDENING. In keeping with many other sugres- tions which he has made that by Food | Administrator Hoover relative to the planting of war gardens this year is risht to/ the point. The response which wak made last year was large. Many who had never dome much in do their part but they succeeded in growing much garden truck which helped out matertally in supplying the home table. The bemefit of such ef- forts is' mot overlooked by Mr. Hoo- ver who declares that it was instru- mental in increasing the food supply at the very time it was needed and the country saved from positive short- ages largely by virtue of accumulal household stores which were the fre- sult of these endeavars. 7 The experience which was gained, even though the frost prevemted the crops from being as large as they would otherwise have been, should be of the greatest value in each succeed- ing year and'if more people will de- vote their spare time to gardening this coming summer there will be a pro- portional increase in the supply, and thete is as great mged this I'year, if not greater, for sueh contri- butions to the available food. The war garden movement means the willization of much time which would otherwise go to waste. It means a chance to turn every spare moment to good account and every- thing done to improve the sup- plies of the individual family means just that much help'to the nation. The war gardens this year should be made greater success than last. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The peace act- ually signed is_very vague in Some of its terms-and leaves Germany as free to interpet as she was to impose the conditions. The fate of the Bal- tic provinces is entirely in her hands and even the boundaries of the Uk- raine, tbat fragnent of Russia that first formally concluded peace, are left un- defined. But in other respects Rus- sia's losses are very exactly defined. Not only must she give up all of Turkish Armenia that she has won in the present war, but the fruits of four former wars with Turkey are taken from her including the. Black Sea harbor of Batoum, the great port for the shipment of the old of the Cas- pian Sea region. One fifth of the world’s supply of oil comes fram the Caspian, for this region produces more. than -all Mexico and is second only fo the United Sitates. The nation that holds Batoum has in its own power the entire outpuc of this great oil eld. With the utter collapse of Russia and the consequenty reenforcement of the central powers, entente sympathi- zers find themselves casting about for other possible reserve forces. Natur- ally they think of Japan. The Anglo- Japanese treaty originally contemplat- ed actien in the Orient only and with that in view Japan early in the war attacked and seized the great German base at Kiao Chau, China, and there- by eliminated from Far Now, however, with all Russia open to an invader, a reentry of Ger- maay on the eastern scene is possible. Viadivostock is piled high With war material of both Americant and Japan- ese manufacture and would be a prize worth the while of either Bol- sheviki or Teutons. Neither must be allowed to have it and Japan is the only power in position to prevent this outeome. Japan is now sounding the Allies on their views of her possible action in Siberia -either singly or in common with one or more of them. Singly thére might be cauSe for apprehension lest she permanently retain any ter- ritory she might presently occupy, vet a joint expedition is apparently éut Gf the question in view of the need of all the Allies’ forces on the weste: front. The Alles are it is true united in their determination to defeat Ger- many, and yet statesmen would be lax in their duty did they not have in mind all possible eventualities. Hence Japan before embarking on any such extensive enterprise as the occupation of Siberia, wants to Know just how her allies wiil view such an action. Meantime even since the Japanese miasion visited Washington last fall, Japanese citizens of military age have been quietly closing out their business on the Pacific .coast and geoing home “for visit” as they say, but they do not buy return tickets. And now news comes tbat there is a similar exodus of Japanese eitizens from Mex- ico. It cannot be Wwithout purpose that the Mikado is thus getting all available forces in hand. The American forces in France are now definitely located in the dispatch- es in at least two places on the long battle line, ndrthwest of the fortress of Toul on the lower side of the San Mihiel salient and alse about the mid- dle of the line along the Chemin des Dames.

Everi since she had come ta Hiltog, Alice had coveted this house, which stood in an older part of the village.

STORIES OF THE WAR “Indo-Chinese at Pick and Shovel v Work. (Correspondence of the Associated Press): Smart little brown men from ‘Annam and other parts of Indo-China have relieved the French troops of the pick-and shovel work which is, next to gctual fighting, one of the most important duties of a modern army not only in the first-class positions but in the rear of the battle-front. At many points along the line these soldiers—for they are thoroughly/ trained fighting men, many of whom have taken a valorous part in colonial wars—may be met cheerfully and willingly doing their bit in the great task of beating the Germans. No chore is too difficuit or too per- jloys for them. TUnloading wund onto mator lorries and into amunition wagons millions of shells and rifle cartridges, hand-grenades and aerial torpedoes, needed by their white comrades, lay- ing out roads across fields and marsh- s where no passage formerly existed, digging _reserve trenchey, building huts, driving ambulances— these heavy lwbors are execufed by them with wonderful celerity and skill On one day, during’ a recent offen- sive, a battalion of Annamites trans- ferred from an ammunition train to. succeeding convoys of motor lorries 228,000 three-inch shells and 90,000 larger projectiles and thus helped the Frenth artillerymen win a decisive victory. Since February, 1916, these Anna- mites have been in France, or at least the first detatchment of them, and sobn after their arrival they were found to be of such mmense utility that their numbers have been greatly increased. When volunteers were called ‘for among the existing bat- taliong in the Far East virtually every man fn thé service asked to be taken to Burope.

You can't tell from looking at a fellow what he's going to do. On the steamer going over, there was a littlo | & fellow, named Eddy—last name was Eddy. He was a quiet, palid-faced boy, very, very slight only sevenicen He looked as if a whiff of wind would blow him away. This younaster was always so meek, so polite in his way of talking to the officers—* Please sir, may I do this?™ Tt was always “plea: this and “please, sir,” that. He looked and, at those times, acted as if he had no fight in him at ail, One day, by some chance, his hoxing ability was, discovered. There was another man in the Battalion—it w: the 28rd—who was forty or fifty pounds heavier than. Eddy, a man who was quits a good hoxer. I said to Eddy “ How about boxing So-and so? Would you like to?” ““Yes sir, how many rounds?’ The same very qguiet, ver: polite response. “As many as vou lik sir, or shall we make it a knock-out” he gbligiogly inguired. They started in and Eddy Went at it as quick as a flash, He knockéd that chap out m about the seventh round. It was the same ~thing when we| reacheed the trenches and went intc action.

He was a bomb thrower and he went into an attack, when be once was at it, like fury, I got glimses of him in ‘adtion, chasing big Huns, with bombs, and he | made every move tell. A wound from which he must have been in azony seemed to make 1o difference to him. He got it in his right Nand which was badly smashed up, but he “carried on” throwing bambs with his left hand just as successfully, and he kept at it until the action was ovér. This was at the battle of Maple Copse in the Ypres salient, on June 13, 1916, Throush all that heavy fightine, in the midst af the roar.and e crashing of bombs and shell, when every minute might easily have been his last, that kid kept his head, and 1 suppose ‘he finjshed dozens and doa- ens of Huns.
