The point well taken by this organization when it is shown that the manufac- of wearing appare] is classed as essential while the retailing and wholasz of it is non-essential. There is a certain number of men re- nuired in the dry goods business and when proper recoasideration is given to the matter it seems only reason- ible to believe that such a view will be taken of it in Washington. KICKING RUSSIANS AROUND. Germany is using much the same methods in regard to that section of Russia which is now under German control as it is doing with Belgium. It is demanding from those provinces that their whole effort shall be put forth in behalf of Germany, that the cfficial language shal! be German and that as quickly as possible an ‘ine demnity shall be paid to Germany of || three and a half billion. That is kick- ing the Russians around with a ven- geanee and it is not surprising that he representatives of the HMathonian diet should forward a protest to Ger- many against the marner in which the occupation of that provigee is being majntained. When they are madc to tespond to the taxation which wili be T T abt / has many reserves which have| oyed and until| necessary to meet thé fnancial bur- den there will ba a still greater re- sentment, particularly when they stop to reflect that they were told that Germany was intergsted in their wel- fare and was to encourage them in their ambition fop the self determina- tion of their future. The Ukrainians are at the same time already sick of their bargain. They realize what a yoke they have placed upon themselves and are doing their utmost to shake it off. The Poles of course have steadily opposed Ger- man authority and wherever the hand of Germany has been placed it is bringing the people of those sections to a full realization of the predicament in which they have been thrown. Ger- many expects to maintain permanent control over a large part of Russia but it may realize some day that it faid the foundation, by the methods which it has used, for the reuniting of fhe Russian factions more solidly than they ever were befcre. ON THE MURMAN COAST. . That the allles have recognized the importance of getting there first and taking possessien of the supplies which have been sent there for the benefit of the Russian people, but which have not as yet been moved because of lack of transportation facilities and other reasons, is indicated by the sending of larger forces to the Murman coast of Russia and the occupation of im- portant points on the Arctic ocean and the White sea. The people of that section are in sympathy with the allies. They have so declared and not a little assistance can be expected from them in defend- ing the railroad line and the stores. Because the Murmansk people have revolted the belsheviki are now in- sisting that the British and American forces should be withdrawn at cnce. To comply with such a demand would simply mean that the allies would be inot only giving way to the unstable covernment in Russia which is play- ing into the hands of Germany but thev would be abandqning territory which is sought by the German and Pinnish forces now operating in Fin- land which of course would like noth- ing better than to ot hold of the sup- plies which are known to be stored there- The only answer to the bolsheviki can be a firm and positive refusal That important entranee to Russia must be kept open, for it would cer- tainly be promptly closed were the allies to consider for a moment the request to retire. The policy of the allies toward Russia may net be fully decided upon but there can of eourse he no thought of abandening that northern ceast. The forces there should be increased rather than di- minished. PLANS CONTROL OF BELGIUM. It was only a day er two ago that Chancellor von Hertline was quoted as declaring that Germany dges not and had not planned to retain Bel- gium. This was looked upon in some quarters as evidenee that a new pol- 1ey had been arrived at and that the imperial German government was cognizant of the faet that it could no ‘onger permit the idea to prevall that it intended to annex that country and make it & part of Germany. But now it seems that oniy half the story was told. While Chanceller ven |« Hertling was quoted as declaring that i was only being held as a pawn to be used in the final settlement only half the actual statement which he made was put foerth and when the wWhole story is teld it seriously mars the high polish which was given to the ed statement. There can be ne question but what Germany will get every ounce of beme- 4t from Belgium that is vossible, That is Germany’s policy and practiee sa that when Count von Hertling speaks in reference to the evacuation of that country and save that “we must haye antees against being isolated” and should secyre the best guarantee gainst future perils from FEngland and ance by way ef Belgium” it is quite cvident that it is Germany’s intention 10 keep a strangle hold upen the lit- tle nation whose neutrality it se sol- emnly promised te respeet, That ix what the chancellor reaily said and what he meant and that is just what allies are determined shall not pre- 1 however long it takes to restore Belgium. EDITORIAL -NOTES. Even Hayti has decided that it can- not remain passive in view of the German menace to civilization, The experienee in this latest drive must make Chancelior von Hertling feel like talking peace more than ever.

The fifth great German drive of 1918, anticipated for days and weeks, was launched in the night foilowing France’s great national holiday.on a sixty-five mie front, the longest that has yet been attempted on the west- ern front. The battle started at mid- night with the heaviest and- deepest bombardment yet experienced. naval guns had been empioced by the Germans and shells were hurled 18 and 20 miles behind the allies’ lines to hinder the movament of reenforcing With the dawn of Monday the Teuton troops drove forward” with all their force from Massiges, thirty miles east of Rheims, to Vaux ten miles the other side of Chateau Thier- ry.
