Washington Receives Better News From Russia.

'Russia’s grerft war minister, KerLensky, is making splendid progress in the re-organization of that country. Kerensky had been accused of being too severe with the army and of being too, vigorous in urging an offensive against Germany. He took the floor of the Council of the Workingmen’s and Soldiers* Delegates and delivered a forceful speech, which took the session by storm and created tremendous enthusiasm. Soldiers’ delegates threw on the platform their crosses of honorastokensofthedevotion of the army. Official reports from Russia always have been much more optimistic than press dispatches and consistently have scouted the idea of a separate peace. This has upheld confidence among state department officials, who hope that the . revolution, though throwing the allied offensive on the Belgian, French and Italian fronts entirely out of gear, in the end will prove one of democracy’s great triumphs of the war. The great effort here now is to be friendly and sympathetic toward the provisional authorities at Petrograd rather than distrustful and intrusive. Prompit settlement of the Kronstadt trouble when radicals broke away •fronr-the pi u visional found a separate administration, has strengthened the belief hare that Russia will find its own way out Reports at present, officials indicate, are very much out of perspective as they center largely on the sensational and upon Petrograd, without much consideration of the great Russia outside. The anti-annexation, anti-indemnity program of the delegatee is not literally interpreted here as opposing territorial readjustments in the spirit of self-govOmment and national development which the Russians themselves proclaim they are fighting fro The first is tHoOght oflty W forbid ax> tual conquest, and the second the imposition of punitive indemnities such as Germany placed upon Frtuoce when she extorted $L0OOXW»O from her in-18?Jl. It is not thought, for instance, that Russaa would restore to the Turk the great province of Armenia, or object to the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine and Italia Irredenta. . Consequently, it is felt in officials quarters here that while at first sight the Russian program appears to be in conflict with the readjustments desired by the Allies, a detailed examination shows it not to be so in spice of the insidious workings of German propaganda to create a chasm.

Hysterical Economy May Be a National Menace.

\ There is a tendency toward hysterical economy on the part of many Ami'”, ms iv « dev* >.:.l by thinking persons as a national menace, continued industrial prosperity depends upon normal coftditions, and these can be preserved by the continued patronage and encouragement of all classes of business and all kinds of employment. Those iridustries in which a vast numlber of working women find a means of livelihood are a vital part of the great economic machine that makes for prosperity. In New York City there are fifty thousand garment workers who are likely at any moment to be thrown out of employment as a result of a few well-meaning persons, who are advising men and women of wealth as well as thouse of comfortaib’e circumstances, to practice the most rigid economy in the purchase of clothing of every description. The same is true of women employed in every line of trade in all the large cities of the United States. If the manufacturer or merchant believes that there is going to be no demand for goods, he is going to be governed accordingly in the production and purchaes of his stock. The nrodoction of Mitait; mwms tha-dia*. missal of thousands of women employes. The manufacturer or merchant is not the greatest sufferer in this event. But the hundreds of thousands of women thrown into the streets will face starvation. The experience of Great Britain, in the early months of the war, is a lesson in this particular. At the outbreak of the war the English women signed pledges and made organized efforts to curtail expenditures in the matter of clothing and personal adornment. The result was that the streets of London were overrun with outcasts. The authorities were confronted with, an appalling problem. Girls who were thrown out of work became public charges. 'Hie Hon. Howard Coffin, of the Council of National Defense, said in a recent interview: “Unemployment and closed factories brought about through fitful and ill-advised campaigns for economy, will prove a veritable quicksand for the serious work we have at hdnd. There is a real danger in hysteria. Indiscriminate economy will be ruinous. Now is the time to open the throttle.’’ In the matter of foodstuffs thegovernment is giving good advice. Tnere sbould be no waste and each individual should pnaotaoe economy. But no man or woman is patriotic who lends himself to a campaign or propaganda, which, if it becomes widespread, will create the greatest industrial panic we have ever known.

Captain J. L. Hagins and wife returned Friday from Pendleton, where they had attended the funeral of Sergeant W. H. H. Benefiel, of the Seventeenth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers.

Sergeant Benefiel was a member of General Wilder’s famous brigade known as “Wilder’s Lightning Brigade.” He was the secretary-treas-urer and historian of the regimental association, and had written a very interesting volume containing a very complete history of the Seventeenth Regiment. Captain Hagins was a member of the Eighth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers and participated with his comrade, Benefiel, in the great battle at Chickamauga. These men had met a number of times and were great friends. THE EVILS OF CONSTIPATION. Constipation is one of the main reasons why the average _ human life is below 40 years. Leaving waste material in the body, poisons the system and blood and makes us liable to sick headaches, biliousness, nervousness and muddy skin. When you note these symptoms, try Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They give prompt relief, are mild, non-griping in action, add tone to your system and clear the complexion. At your druggist’s, 25c.
