DON'T WASTE PAPER. For some months now anyone who has had anything to do with the pur- chase of paper has been made fully aware of the situation in the paper market. Not only has the price gone sky high but paper is hard to get. News- papers have been restricted to certain amounts. They have been forced to reduce the quantity which they for- merly used while users of wrapping hieh paper, bags, or in fact paper of all kinds have experienced the growing carcity, because the commodities which enter into the manufacture of paper are needed for other things. The war industries board is there- in and must be met, because fuel used {n making paper is essential for war purposes, because the chemi- cals used in making paper are needed for work in connection with the” war, begause the labor and capital used in per making are required for war purposes, because it is necessary to economize on the transportation needed to distribute paper, because care in its purchase and use will save money and because strict economy in the use of paper will save a shortage. The appeal is one which needs to be carefully reepected. It is well known that paper, even more . than many other things is wasied in great quantities. Because it is paper many think there is no need of »saving it btut the situation is such that-every bit should be conserved. Not only must the first use of it be curtailed to the limit but waste paper instead of being burned or thrown away should be saved and gotten back to the pa- per mill. The appeal should get gen- uine respect when it comes to the practice of conservation. There's a chance for everyone. REVIVING RUSSIA, 1t is quite natural that General Gai- da of the Czecho-Slovak forces should point out at this time the importance of getting immediate assistance from the allies on the present eastern front along the Volga in order to derive all ble benefit from the conditions which are at the present time prevail- ing in Russia. That the allles are fully conscious of the situation and are determined to zive all possible aid is “indicated by the landing of hew forces including Americans in the Archangel region and by the forwarding of new Japan- ese divisions for service in Siberia where the troops from that country have been doing such vaiuable ser- vice in breaking up the bolshevik ac- tivities. Eut in afdition to that the manner in which the activities of the bol- shevik leaders, the tools of Germany hired to turn Russia over to the im- perial German government, are being shown up is not only going to have upon the nations of the orld but it is going to show the Rus- ians as it was.never pointed out to iem hefore that if they arc golng fo ave themseives from German domina- tion it ‘me to rise up and ¥ ble assistance (o those who their utmost to heip their is ever country.

And in the face of it all the ques- tion is asked “Why has Germany no friends?” The answer in Ger- many’s own conduct. EDITORIAL NOTES.

It can readily be belisved that the loss in territory and men which the Germans are suffering is not goinz to cause the German empress any relief in_her nervous collapse.

This work entails much traveling in order to se- cure from proprietors the necessary signatures to the “etats de litux,” and the following letter describés such a trip, including a visit to the birth- place of Lafayette: “I had to go to a place near Le Puy get a signature and it being an all- trip, 1 thought I would like to take alonz a coupie of the boys at the garage, as they, Lave been more than nice.
