".America For Americans"
RUSSIA WORN OUT
Yesterday's cable dispatchefi
al(j cause no unnecesary alarm
because Russia admits she cannot
•eod troope to aid the Allies. The
Alllea have recognized this for
*am« time and hare been acting on
ih^i fact.
Russia, Bince its revolution, has
been progressing in an exceedingly
•low fashion and the leaders seem
to h»re held out the hope that the
people, Intoxicated by liberty, would
finally awake to the necessity of
actirly engaging against the en
emy. Because the Russian repub
lic suddenly awakens to the fact that
•he can do more for her cause by
udlug all her efforts to organize a
staple government, and to send
■ u.b of her manufactured goods
*s possible to the Allies, rather
thaa to send men to any front oth
er than her own, does not neces
sarily mean that the .pew Republic
!• out of the war entirely. In fact
Rusaia. can probably do more un
der her new plan than before.
Tt>® Allied governments have
re*liaert the inability of aid from
Russia for some time, and the fact
•he finally admits her lack of or
ganization "*"111 have no more ef
fect on the final outcome of the
war that would have been the ef
fect nad she been silent.
* THK AIR FLEET
From various sources comes the
luiormation that the German milita-jj
leaderj are making feverish pre
parations to meet the Americans in
the air next spring. The French
army Intelligence department has
torn* definite In a motion concern
ing the size and character of the
m&chiBei under construction, while
Uaj. floffe, of the German general
•taf*, gives confirmation of this
report la an article published in the
Wejcr Zeitung. After belittling
the cart which the American naval
and military force® will play in the
coming struggle, Maj. Hoffe points
out tb« danger to German arms of
America's air fleet:
"The only American help to be
Mfiouily reckoned wilh is in the air
Flyer* can be quickly trained and
eaai'v transported, but the Ger
man command has taken all neces
aarr measures to meet this danger.
The new enemy directs his efforts
l««a against the German army than
agalc3t the nerves of the German
people and against the internal un- j
Jty of Germany."
The men in charge of our war
preoarations will differ with the
Garman officer as to his estimate
of tka extent of our participation
la th» land battles, but his opinion
concerning the possibllites of our
air fleet coincides w-ith the best in
formation obtainable in this coun

This peculiar word Is friedueiiiiy found
In 8candiuavlan communities as the
name of a newspaper, sueli as St
Cloud Budstlkken. ft Is a Norwegian,
word, 1,200 yean old at the least and
has a very peculiar origin.
In those days wh<>ii the coasts ot >ior

habitants had to resort to all sort* of
devices 'o wain tlrse at a distance of
the apprcavh of t!;ese piratical craft
1 When one was scon on the horizon a
man went up to the top of a mountain,
where he lighted a l>eacon fire. This
ccwId he seen for a long distance and
was known to le a warning. When It
was seen In tha distance another fire
was lighted o:i another bill until all
over the country tires Mazed from ev
en- hilltop and the people prepared to
defend themselves.
They also bail a system of messen
gers. The man who tlrst sighted the
sail would taLe an arrow and send It
to his neighbors. Fr>m town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
ways of telegraphing, hut were so ef
fectual that In the course of twenty
four hours al! Norway knew of the ap
proaiti of pirates.
This system of spreading the uews
was called "budstikkeu." and when
there were no more pirates the news
papers became spreaders of the news
and so were appropriately styled "bud
stikkeu." - Exchange.

We are the greatest fat waatere li

taole, in hotels, restaurants and
homes.
We need to save fat and pork
products for our allies. We ust

we can not afford to go on wast

extravagant personally.

expectations of seeing a swarm of
American flyerB over the western
battle lines nest spring will be
fulfilled. Tha nation is informed
that 20,000 planes Qt all descrip
tions are under construction, and
that within ft few months Germaia
will feet the force of this great
air oower. While the work of
training and equipping a large ar
m~ necessarily is slow, the task
of training flyers is much easier.
There is some satisfaction in
the admission of the Germans that
American arms are not to be a
negligible factor in the yar. It is
not many weeks since the German
high command was scoffing at any
e'ferts which this country could
make to help the allies. Already
Germany has felt the stiffening ef
f<n:t of the power of money and
our efforts to provision England
and f ranee. The help which the
navy hag given in combating the
U-boats perhaps by this time has
been called to the kaiser's atten
tion, and a little later our new
merchant fleet will get into ser
vice. Then will be felt the force
o' tfco new army. If the German
command chooses to devote its at
tention to building airplanes, then
