THRILL of fear will run thru the ranks of the allies at the news that the czar has deposed the Grand Duke Nicholas. The world believes that in months gone by the ezar would at times have considered making a sep- arate peace with the Teutonic allies; and that the grand duke replied to him, “If peace is made we shall have a new czar!” Has his long retreat stripped the grand duke of his power? Will the czar have the iron de- termination to fight on? If the czar has placed an- other in the place of Nicholas, will he have the skill and ability shown by the duke in extricating his half-supplied army from the enveloping movements of Von Hindenburg, Mackenzen, and the Austrian archduke? Does this thing mean that the solid front of the allies is in danger of wavering? Then, it means woe to France, Great Britain, Italy and Serbia. Nicholas seems to be a Russian Joseph E. John- ston. Before Sherman’s drive on Atlanta, Johnston was juggled from one position to another just as Nicholas has been in this last four months’ cam- paign beginning in Hungary and ending deep in Russian territory. The confederate government be- came dissatisfied with Johnston's Fabian tactics, tho historians now credit him with consummate skill and judgment. Johnston was superseded by _the intrepid and dashing Hood. Hood destroyed [Outbursts of Everett True] CARD. 1 REPRESENT "Common Peopce's Loan Coy AND ANY TIME You WANT MONEY YOU .

Johnston was restored to his command, but it was too late. The arnty destroyed by the foolhardy bravery of Hood could not be restored. The czar and his court are dissatisfied with the wonderful retreat of Nicholas, They seem to have displaced him. The matter is of historic import- ance, and may decide the war. For the czar is much wronged unless he is a man of small ability. The world thinks him such; and this is no time for mere royal incompetence to amuse itself with su- preme command. WORSE THAN RUSSIAN I" IS being pretty definitely shown that Russia’s policy of continued retreat has been necessary because of lack of munitions due to graft. But we have nothing on Russia. In times of peace we know that there’s graft in the matter of making our war munitions—wholesale graft, and yet congress has repeatedly refused to stir in the matter. The revelations made by Congressman Tavenner would be sufficient to arouse any Euro- pean nation, and the coming session of congress cannot refuse to consider them without dishonor- ing itself.

In other words, the Russian masses are in- dulging in free speech. It is a good thing. There is going to be much more freedom in several countries, after the war, and Russia needs freedom as badly as any of them.

HIEF LANG and two friends left the Rainier club, where they had wined a bit, and went to Tate’s. There they stayed a little over an hour, The chief admits that in Tate’s, at least, one of these two “was overloaded.” Doesn’t it seem to you that it would have been more in accord with the chief’s duty if he had taken this chap home instead of into the cafe for further “boozing”? If it had been some one else—if it had been a plain citizen—if it had been some one other than a friend of Lang’s—who knows what may have happened? It may even be that the chief would have arrested him as a plain drunk—who knows? OYSTERS, SAYS the bureau of fisheries, were legal tender when the Indians ruled America.
