There can be no interest campaign the raising of $100,000 000 for the Red doubt but what will be at fever heat in the wkich is -oon to open for Cross, the second fund of similar proportions which that organizations has sought in order to carry on its great humanitarian work. During the previous campaign there was an enthusiastic response from the entire country. The little fellow ag well as the big one, money wise, was eager to participate and to give liberally as be could. There was & general recognition of the excellent and needed sarvice which this organ- ization siends ready to render and *ry ol desired to be identified therewith. The illness and the suf- feeinz of those on the battlefields need to get the right kind of atten- tlon and to get it when it is demand- ¢d and when the most good can be dope. When the first fund was raised subscriptions were made on general principles. . It was for the purpose of taking care of the soldiers regard- less of the uniform that they wore. At that time while our sympathy was with the entente nations there were but very few Americans fighting in Europe. They nevertheless needed the help and they got it. Today the situation is different. We have over i half million of troops aeross the water and a much greater number on the way or in cantonments at home. Our interest is therefore ‘ntensified and we are going to be more anxious than ever to see that they are properly cared for while bravely facing the dangers and mak- ing the supreme sacrifice. The fund should go quickly over the top. USE OF AMERICAN TROOPS. Much confusion and uncertainty was caused by the report coming by way of Ottawa 1o the effect that the American forces were not to be used with the allied armies on the west- ern front, since the British and French had sufficient, it was figured, to take care of any assault which the ememy mizht make, but were to he drawn up in a great reserve for the purpose of striking at the Teutons when it was considered that the time was ripe for opening an offensive and drlving the invaders back. This was decidedly plans which had already been an- nounced. It came exclusively in a round about way. It was a surpriee to the British ambaxador in this country and it was a surprise to this country because it was the first in- timation of any such radical changa in plans. It indicated a direct rever- sal of the arrangements made and being carried out for the brigading of the American soldiers with the Brit- ish and French. The uncertainty which existed re- garding it caused grave doubts -on- cerning the correctness of the an- nouncement, for while it is to be ex- pected that the American troops will gt needed training after arriving in Europe it was not anticipated that they would net be given a chance to participate i@ checking the advance of the Huns. These doubts appear to have been well founded according to the statement now made that the Ot- rawa despaich was a mistake. How it came to be made is not told but there is good reason for seeing that there is no recyrrence. If the report was true much explaining would have been required but not a little appears to be necessary now that it has been admitted to be incorrect. contrary to THE ONE HIGHER UP. It might be possible to look upon the trouble which General Maurice stirred vp in England because of his attack upon the premier and other keads of the government as closed Lecause of the manner in which it has been disposed of and punmishment inflicted, if satisfaction was going to be gpained through dealing with the one who must be regarded as the tool in the whole affair, but it remains to be seen whether those who are higher up in that undertaking are going to be allowed to go unscathed. As was anticipated General Mau- rice, even though one in his position ehguld have known better, is regarded as the goat. He had from all “indica- 4ams heen amcourazed into taking tha e e e .

The dispos: of the goat does not mean that this element has by any means been dis- persed. On the contrary having suc- ceeded in stirring up the trouble which it has and failed in its objects through the sacrifice of one of its number there are reasons to suppose that it will continue its Aactivities. There can be little question but what its ‘leaders should be eliminated and the time to do it of course is now. ON THE ITALIAN FRONT. The manner in which the Italians wrested Monte Corno from the Aus- trians makes it evident that they are again prepared to give a good ac- count of themselves whether it is a case of offensive or defensive. They have been anticipating a drive by the enemy. Such has even been adver- tised by Austria, notice being given that Emperor Charles had gone to the front for that purpose, but it has not materialized. That this has been due to the con- ditions which prevail in Austria-Hun- gary today is entirely possible. While too much reliance cannot be placed upon the peace talk and the unrest which are reported from the dual monarchy there are certain condi- tions which cannot be -overlooked and among them is the desertion of 1%,- 000 Bohemians who have not only slid into the enemy lines hut who are prepared to fight with the Italians. Conditions in Austria, where the people are not only tired of the war but are rebelling at the suf- fering which they have been made to undergo, are such as to cause much concern to the enemy. i The offensive of last year did much to arouse the people for the time be- ing and the expectation that another was to be launched with the idea of taking the Venetian plains was ex- pected to rally them again. It hasn't developed and it is possible that Aus- tria fears the consequences which would follow in case of a reverse. If therefore Italy could resume opera- tions similar to what it did on the Isonzo it would be able to take ad- vantage of the conditions which ex ist in the nation which faces bank- ruptcy, and it may not be long be- fore it is dome. A PART OF GERMANY’S PLAN. Germany is now demanding the surrender of the Black Sea fleet as the price of peace in south Russia. In connection therewith it claims that the advance into Crimea and the tak- ing of Sebastopol and other territory in that region has been carried out Dbecause of the fact that certain points had been fired upon by this fleet and it is desirous of ending this danger as speedily as possible. Germany never lacks for excuses when it desires to gain a point. Its resourcefulness is fully demonstrated in this instance for there are good reasons for believing that regardless of what it considers the danger from the fleet as long as it remains in the Black Sea uncontrolled by the imper- ial German, government, it would have proceeded to take charge of affairs in Ukrania and Crimea even as it has. The surrender of the fleet is now de- sired to make more' complete this control which it has been working for and which was started by the peace conferences at Brest-Litovsk. Germany is determined that all of the Russian territory which it has separated from Russian control through the treaty and that which it has overrun with its army since that document was signed shall come under German domination in one way or snother. It intends to direct the af- fairs of those people and make them work for Germany's interests during and after the war. The fleet is quite necessary to such a scheme and it will never be satisfied until it gets it, regardless of the measures which it has to use to accomplish its purpose. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Over in Germany they give the wage earner what it is thought necessary to live on and take the rest for the next war loan, which explains the en- thusiastic response of the German slaves to the appeals for money to run the war.

I am interested in seeing how the plan of putting you on an allowance works?” “Oh!”" said Caroline again. She looked annoyed. ‘‘Why—why, I didn’t know I had to keep accounts! You said I'd have to plan my own expendi- tures—and—and things like that.” after a “How much,” inquired the father of the family suavely, “have you left of your $25?” “Left!” echoed his child indignantly. “Why, there isn’t any left, of course! How can there be anything left from an allowance? It's to spend, isn't it? You said $25 was an awful lot, but it isn't! 'Why, you'd 'be surprised if you knew how little $25 is! Why, when the man said those kodak prints came to $3.35 I was so surprised I thought he was cheating me. Of course when I had to spend all that for films, when I didn’t expect to, I knew you wouldn’t want me to pay for those schoolbooks, so I just charged them. Oh, I don’t know—one was 60 cents and another $1.50, and I didn’t ask about the rest. I think things have gone up awfully since I've had to pay for everything. Why, when you let me go to the club and charge my lunch when I was downtown I know I never paid 50 cents for a sand- wich.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press): Officers of all ranks formerly in the Russian army have thronged the British and American consulates at Harbin seeking to enlist as_ private soldiers in the armies of those coun- tries, since the Bolsheviki revoluntion aires extended their rule to Siberia. When they are told that the regula- tions do not permit consuls to accept their offers, their disappointment is painful. The hatred they express for the Bolsheviki indicated that they would do anything to counteract Bolshevikl influence. All of those with whom The Associated Press correspondent has talked have been intensely pro-En- tente. What is to become of them is one of the problems Russia will have to face in the fulure. Large numbers of them, in a piti- ful state, are flocking into Harbin from all parts of Siberia. Many are without funds and the majority are poorly clad. They range in rank from lientenants to generals and come from the finest Russian stock. Most of them have come from the large military centers in Siberia, from which they have escaped only after undergoing great hardship and much suffering. Many of those interviewed have related the most harrowing stories of murders and atrocities. ‘They explained that when the Bol- sheviki agents had succeeded in con- verting the soldiers to their cause, the first move was to shoot the officers in command, and in many instances their families were treated in the same manner, or worse. In some regiments, where a certain semblance of disci- pline remained, the officers were at most menial tasks. The indignities, however, ‘became so bad that the offi- cers unendurable with the result that many officers committed suicide, while others i\n attempting to resent them were shot, or tortured in the most cruel and brutal manner. The military centers such as Ir- kutsk, Viadivostok. Chita, Harborovsk and Blagoveschensk are so widely dis- tributed that the journey to Harbin is a very long one, with the result that many of those attempting to escape were murdered enroute, although every form of disguise was used.

By Sergt. W. H. Duckworth, 6th Canadian Infantry Regiment. I was sent home on sick leave last July, and I cannot forget the boys over there and what hardships they endure while we are living in comfort and liberty. I am now serving in the British Canadian Recruiting Mission, and I hope it will not have to be said that great numbers of Canadians and British are slackers in this great fight, slackers now when men are needed so much. 1 went into the Vimy Ridge fight with the 29th Battalion of the Duke of Connaught’s Own Regiment and there we gave the Germans some of their own medicine. before we went over the British sent into the German lines volley after vol- ley of gas shells. They had set the example and driven us to the use of gas. The Puns must have ha@ a fearful time of it while our guns were pound- ing their intrenchments preceding the attack. Their trenches were practi- cally obliterated. How may men li erally were buried alive by the crea- tion of shell craters and the demoli- tion of the trenches will never be known. s These shells did their work well that time. At the top of the Ridge 1 encountered a Hun dugout. Seated in the opening of this dugout was a German infantryman, his rifle at guard, and in a position to make a baynot thrust. I gave him a resound- ing kick, grabbed hold of his coat col- lar and told him to come aloeng. The German never moved. He was dead. The fumes from our gas shells had as- phyxiated him. The treacherous treatment our men received at the hands of the Germanrs under all conditions have made us sus- picious of them all, but in the main we bear in mind that we are fighting for a principle and not for reprisals.
