Germany has unquestionably sained great advantages from the peace which it has made with Russia, even though it may not have come up to expectations in all respeets. It is im- portant from - the standpoint of the Russlans that they underge no great- er strangulation, while the allies must realize that in the extension of as- sistance to their former ally it is nec- essary to reestablish an eastern front and strike at the enemy from that di- rection. It is therefore of no little importance that the Russian quéstion should be decided as early as poss ble and do it senmsibly.

Hurd, is pleading at this time foz the establishment of a unified command of the fleet of vessels under control of the allies in the Mediterran . At the present time certain portions of the navies of the United States, Great Britain, Italy, France, Japan and Greece are operating in the Mediter- ranean much the same as did the land forces of the entente countries dur- ing the early vears of the war. Bach one is under separate command with, the lack of unified action and guid- ance. The control of the naval opera- tions in the Mediterranean have for the most part been delezated to the French. In the Nerth sea and about the British Isle and France it is in the hands of the British, while in the Adriatic the Italiang are in com- | mand. This has been because the re- spective nations in charge have by far the larger number of warships in those localities, but even as it has been recognized as necessary on iand there is need for a supreme control in the Mediterranean of the forces which are operating by water, and the one to be placed at the head should be the one who is best quali- fled for the task of directing the work regardless of the country to which he belongs, As good results are to be gained from the closest cooperation on water 4g on land but an added reason for change is furpished by the fact that the Russian Black sea fleet has been turned over to the Germans and there needs to be every precautior taken to block that menace as well as to fizht the submarines, SAVING ON COAL.

There is of “course no more certainty that such raids would be conducted upon the metropolis any more than upon Boston and other large points along being dome in the way of war pro- duction. It is entirely possible that more real harm could be done war- wise at some small city than dar, or thought he did, the coast where not a little work is{ whether Bob was wakeful that night or whether the burgler, being an in- gxferlem:ed burglar, mads too much noise, but everybody does agree that though the burglary itself was unsuc~ cessful, the affair turned out in a way that pleased all concerned, and much better, to be sure, than had been ex- pected. The whole thing began when Bob awoke with an awful start to dis- cover that there was surely a burglar in his apartment. Now Bob, having his own ideas on the management of burglars, soon haq his very bright, hitherto unused, and, he feared, un- loaded revolver, cdocked before him, and stood ready to draw the curtains separating his room from the small living room adjoining it. “Glad you seem to be enjoying your- self.” This from Bob, as he. steed, rather dramatically, between the drawn portieres, the revoiver levcied at the intruder, “Oh!” A very startleq and almost ;eminine exclamation from the burs= ar. “Ah!”" A very admiring and ex-’ tremely amazed exclemation from Bob, as the burglar, or perhaps we should say burglaress, faced him. Bob knew how to manage some species of burg- ut this partic- ular specimen baffled him. “Please, 'Im sorry!” She raised a pathetic face to him—an extreemly pretty face, with very large brown eyes, and very red lips. For a mo- ment the lips trembled and, strange to say, it seemed as though she was struggling to suppress laughter rgther thax tears. ‘“Hysterical,” concluded Bob, though it was hard to explain the odd twinkle which he felt sure he could detect in her ey “Please don't send for the police” she said. “T'll never do it again! was only because—because—" “Oh, don’t explain.

All that night and all the next day he thought of her. ‘wag disgusted with himsel for not getting her address and man- ing to see more of her, if only to be :g pecuniary assistance—and then the unexpected happened. A letter came from Betty. Betty was Bob's sister wholived some distance away with the rest of his family, but who was in the same town, with friends, at the pres- ent time on a visit. As he opened the renvelope a rather crumpled greenback fluttered out of it and. as it was a bill of the same amount that he had made a gift of the night before, he, for an explanation. “Dear Bobbie—it ran—I am return- ing the enclosed, with much praise r your generosity and many thanks from my friend, Margaret Allan, a perfect dream of a girl, whose acquaintance you made under such strange cireum- stances.

That country has clung tenaciously to neu- trality from the opening of the war. It has had an opportunity to watci the way in which the belligerents on both sides have conducted their part in the war. It knows full weil how Germany completely tossed aside its solemn promise to respect the neu- trality of Beigium, to say nothing of its other unjustified war tactics and it knows full well how the allied na- tions have in marked contrast shown their regard for the neutral nations. Time and again has Germany made demands upon Holland for the letting down of It neutrality bars. It has insisted upon the use of the railroad over Dutch territory which reduces by many miles the distance between Ger- many and Antwerp and it has threat- ened that it would disregard Dutch rights unless its demands were com- pHed with. Under the guise of re- stricting such use of the railroad to operations which do not involve war work, which restrictions are of course not respected, Germany has gained advantages to which no war rules give it the right. Whatever the al- lies have secured have been accord- ing to rules agreed to by all nations during times of peace. But now with its bases on the Bel- gian coast blocked Germany isthreat-| ening to establish a base in the river! Scheldt running through Dutch ter-l ritory to Antwerp. It isn't a ques- tion of the right of Germany to do so, it is a matter of necessity. Dnder such conditions Dutch rights amount!| to nothing. It is a case like Bel-| gium's. Under the circumstances kpowing full well the attitude of Ger- many there ought to be little question where Holland stands concerning this threatened move. It isn't believed that the Dutch are a bit more ready to accept any sach affront and dis- tegard for {ts neutrality than the Bel- sians were. et it Sy ACTION, NOT NEGLIGENCE. The Russian situation continues to hold the attention of all the bellig- erents, and it is to be hoped that the steps which are taken by the respec- tive sides will not show that by the failure to take a proper view of the sitnation or the lack of needed action that the allied nations have 4gain al- lowed the ememy to place them at a disadvantage, or to further crush Russia. From the east comes the report to the effect that Japan is preparing a declaration concerning its attitude to- ward Ruesia. The British foreign secretary is quoted as declaring his P e g m b P e e dropping bombs on New York city The cutting down in the however, is Roinz to mean a savmg} in New York and inasmuch as no particular locality is expected to do all the saving it can be appreciated that if there was a curtailment of a certain amount of street lighting througheut all New England it would mean no small amount of coal for next winter.

If we must save we might as well start in now, EDITORIAL NCTES, The Italians continue to take a good sized bite out of the Austrian ravy now and then The man on the corner says: When it comes to an offensive this is a great month for Cupid. A Maine she has heen removed for not enforcing prohibition. That indicates new s!zns af a drouzht down east. When the Germans hurl §ve divis- ions in vain against the Americans, the German reserves are fast losing their reputation. There is now talk about a German offensive on the water. There is no question, however, but what the al- lies are perfectly willing. The longer the Germans think that the American help doesn’t amount to anything the greater is the surprise they have coming to them. The Americans, British and French are all showing that they can take ground and prisoners from the Ger- mans when the time is propitious.
