as much our duty?we who are not so

bonds as it is the duty of those who ,wl
are "Ovor There" or on .their way, va

of the Flag.- It Is the part

to fight the Hun for defense of i
American rights and privileges, for
defense of our homes, it is the least

J A NEW DEPARTURE.
" Newspapers have a way of marking
political advertisements as such,
possibly as a safeguard against some '
? one who might wish to boost a cer- j
Jtain candidate without cost, and be-!
I
5 cause the paper itself may not wish
to be accused of endorsing the particular
candidate or his policies. If
there is any other reason it has est
|
caped our diligence in generally tak- .
e' I
ing care of ourself. The Columbia COi
Record, however, has adopted the of
unique plan of printing above the n,!
st i
advertisement not only the fact that
e i If
it is a paid political advertisement, i Cf)
i but also the amount paid and who j pr,
paid it. The plan of the Record, The en
pjXews assumes, is to clarify the pollti
oal situation and do away with at
ini
f anonymous indorsation of candi- ro
dates for public oflloc, and it is not a
bad idea, or would not bo a bad idea icj
p if it wore generally followed by all J
s newspapers and all candidates. But n<
' an
e most newspapers are satisfied to rr,
e show the public that the particular IIp
advertisement is paid for and not tr<
s ^printed gratis by the paper itself on '^

There may be be some people in
l9 this country who think they are mak,
ing sacrifices for the war?but they
don't know. A look around In Lon>
don might indicate to them what

placed on our foodstuffs
the people here are living like lords
compared to the way people are faring
in England. London is now under
a strict curfew law. Lights must
be out at 10 o'clock at night. No
u hotel or restaurant or club may do
any cooking between 9:30 p. m. and
5 a. m., and the food that may be
0 prepared is strictly limited. There

for any wastage of coal or gas

quibble over the niceties of the situ^
| ation. Japan can favor the allies
11 very greatly by sending an army to
i Vladivostok, the chief Russian sea,
port on the Pacific, and a near nelgh^
bor to Korea and Japan.
Great quantities of war supplies
purchased by the former Russian imL
perial government are stored in
? Vladivostok. These supplies in large
t ipart were sent from the United Ge
j States. Except in the summer wc
' months, when the port of Archangel ^a
I was open, Russia was compelled to 'aI
r | rely upon the Vladivostok route for ,nt
r | importing war materials from thitf 'ia
, I country and Japan. The facilities of
the tran?-Slberlan railroad are so
limited that it was impossible to . .
move the materials as rapidly as n"
they were brought in by ship and
large amounts of them accumulated
there. To
Much concern has been felt among
, the allies since Russia's withdrawal
from the war lest these supplies fall ed
into the hands of the Germans. The thi
prevention of this was one of the rCf
principal points advanced in favor Eh
of sending by Japan of an expeditionary
force to Siberia. Early this tin
month Japanese and British marines oai
were landing in Vladivostok, but po
: only In small numbers, for the pro- the
tection of their nationals in conse- me
quence of riots. Wo should now poi
have an army of our Asiatic allies to foi
protect these stores. What If the at
I rabble of Russia does become offended?
The bolshevlkl cannot ___
II fight without munitions. They are
more in need of food than munitions,
1 and it is too hazardous to permit R
' this great store at Vladivostok to [2
remain there unprotected. ^

I 25.?North Lancaster school, taught
f by Miss Hazie Betts, closed its session
on Tuesday. They have had a
i successful school the past year. The
program for the evening was
speeches, .dialogues, etc., which
j were well spoken and a credit to the
j teacher and pupils. After the exj
orcises were over Mrs. Lola Crawford
^ and Mrs. Pice, of Lancaster, asked
to bo allowed to present the Liberty
j loan, and War Savings Stamps to the
pupils which was granted. They got
some War Savings Stamps taken by
the children amounting to $22. The
ladles announced that they would
serve ice cream and cake to the vislh
tors and students which was very
o much enjoyed by everyone. Miss
t Uetta will return to her home in York
