By the time men have been out of college twenty-five ] years it is not difficult to assign thorn | . permanent vcl issification. Surprises ( come in the first five years, and sonic in the next five; but the second decade 1 witnesses a less-rapid sifting and reassortment. By that time those who i started slowly hut who had good staying qualities have got their second wind and those who made promising beginnings but who had little to sus .Ain their effort have drooped hack lowrd tlie rear. In this class the unquestioned leader was a minister. Concerning hint there was unanimous testimony. In college he had never been brilliant, nor had he been preternalurally good. I | lie had entered college a somewhat j raw lad, and had plodded along, muk I ng a fair record in his classes, an ' i vtwngc record in athletics, and a ! line record as a manly, friendly, wholesome fellow. He entered the ' minis'ry and dropped out of sight ii ' , a little church, and at the end of live I years was hardly known outside h>: iin> parish. The next five yuan i brought him sum recognition and tea promotions. Then he went ?n upland now he is almost a national . I figure. "llow do you account for Jimmy's , i rise?" asked one of his classmates of I another. .

OUR FORCES IN RUSSIA; GOVERNMENT POLICY TOWARD RUSSIA ; rIho Government of ths United I States is determined to come to the ici of ihe Czecho-Slovak troops whose existence i* threatened by German and Austria armed prisoners of war, ncling in cooperation with the Bolsh-i' evik Ited Guard. This decision will require the use 11 of a force of American troons. To I augment those forces, the Japanese; Government has been invited und has j consented to.supply Japanese troopsj in about the same number, to act with ! the American forces as a single unit ! to assist the Czecho-Slovak troops, j The decision of the Government requires some understanding of the I character and position of the Czechoslovak troops. The Czecho-Slovak are a race speaking. a Slavic language very much like Russian, living in Austria and constifuting for the most part the native j population of Bohema. In the early clays of the war Austra drafted the men into her polygot army. The Czecho-Slovaks were hostile to the . tyranny of the Austrian Government ind sympathetic with their fellow Slaves, the Russians. Consequently, when brought into battle on the Master r. fror.t they surrendered by regiments ami even divisions, i.i this way some 250,000 ('/echo-Slovaks became prisoners of war in Russia. The Government of the Czar suspected their loyalty and did not sympathize with democratic aspiration to be free. With the revolution of March 1'J17 however the Provisional Government of Russia took a ditFercnt view and agreed to assist in reorganizing these troops as unite of the Russian Army. Through the efforts of professor Masaryk, President o* the Czeho-S!ovak Nation Council, who was n Ru sin for the purpose the organustioii of these prisoners of war was ri lormken e.ierge ienliy. Several .liousari'l of ti on foinud tile back none of General Korr.ilolT's army in June, ii* IT, which for a time made a successful attack upon the Austrians. The organization of Czccho-Slov..I,.. ?: 1 1 ^ > uno luniiiiut'u unci in oupicniDcr unci October, 1917 their number had increased to about 4G.000 fully organized with measures mi progress to mobolize an additional 50,000. When the Bolshevik came into power in November 1917 < zecho-Klovaks realized that their ambition to fight Germany and Austria could not be accomplished in Russia. Professor Masaryk according negotiated with Lenine and Trotsky for their free pas| sage out of Russia \ i:i Vladivostok and Archangel where shipping would ! be provided for them to go to the French front. The men began to move back from the Russian front toward the Volga. The movement had not proceed very far before German 1 Auv. tin propaganda excited the 'o.shevik authorities to believe that the Czechn-Siovaks constituted a dangerous element. Attempts in various localities were therefore made to disarm then: wholly. But disarmament in several eases resulted in hostile 'attacks Thereafter the Czechoslovaks refused to deliver their arms, j upon which Trotsky ordered the ar rest of their leaders in Moscow ami the disarmament of all Czecho-Slovak I troops in Russia. The Czechs refused : to enter into hostilities with the Sovi! eta or to interfere in Russian affairs. I They persisted in their purpose to j leave Russia via Vladivostok and 16,I j 000 <ff them actually reached that Fur i [ Eastern port. Their comrades were 11 in transit along the Siberian Eastern ! Railway from Irkutsk, 3,000 miles , west to the Volga lliver. At Vladiv< sto', th?? first attack was made l?y armed prisoners of war; three C/.cchoI Slovak seatries were killed a.id eighty | of the men were suborned to join j tl. lit I Guard. 'I ;ic ('/.erho-Slov ik commander issued an ultimatum and I'.isarmed the Red (iuards at Vladivostok hut was resisted by Gcrinan and Austrian prisoners of var who, howII ever, were finally forced to surrender. With his open breach the activities of armed prisoners of war in i support of Red (iuard liolshevik I troops became very active and an organized attempt was started to prevent the ('/.echo-Slovaks at Irkutsk and westwards from joining those at Vladivostok. Only about twenty per cent, of the Czencho-Slovaks were originally arm! ed in their journey across Siberia and j their position was an extremely dangerous one. At almost every point they were outnumbered by Red (Iuards and Germans and Austrians, well armed with rifles, machine gunsr and held artillery. To protect theii base at Vladivostok and their connections with the Siberian Railway the Czecho-Slovak troops nevertheless determined to sieze Nilolsk. In the middle of July and although outnumbered two to one, and without field artillery, they defeated the Germans and Austrians and Bolshevik Red Guards and drove thent northwards. They then prepared to join their comrades 1,800 miles away at Irkutsk who \jere threatened by vastly superior forces of Bolshevik Red Guards 1 and prisoners of war under the command of the Geramn Major General von Taube. The Czecho-Slovak troops are poorly armed and ill clothed. Only their spirit to insist upon their demand for freedom and their deter: mined hostility to.the Central Powers ! has enabled them to snatch temporary success from unfavorable conditions. I The United States could not sit nnd calmly witness the destruet on of (these br.v.e men against whom Ger; many und Austria were bringing the war into Siberia. The purpose of this government towards the Czect)o*Slovak and toward . i . 0... | i the Russian* is fully and unequivo- EJ cally outlined in a statement issued , by the Acting Secretary of State, Sunday, August-4th. LO REDUCING COTTON LOSSES DUE TO IMPROPER GINNING If there is to be any considerable cssening of he great loss which occurs in the America cotton industry from the time the seed cotton is sucked into the gin until the baled lint is delivered at the mill, say specialists of the ho United States Department of Agri- thi culture, planters must come to realize a that a large proportion of this loss ru falls on them directly or indirectly, an and that they must cooperate actively to eliminate it. The loss so far as the it, fiber is concerned results chiefly from Ti impropore ginning which injures the co lint, and the inadequate pressure and 'n covering of the bale. By concerted di action it is pointed out farmers should be nb:e to secure better methods of ginning and better handling of their cotton being enabled as a result, to bi ha market their crops to better advant. Pf age. 'I he part of which the mechanical ]j( treatment of cotton plays in the sal- th ability of the lint is discussed in a new a' publication of the United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers' ^ Bulletin No. 7G4, "Cotton Ginning In- ca formation for Farmers." Cotton lint is injured under the ^ methods employed by many gins causir.g cutting of the fiber. This is due jj usually to a too rapid running of the machinery often because of the pressure of business at the gin. For best results, from the point of view' of the ^ planter the maximum speed should ja be ubout 400 revolutions t>er minute a for 10-inch gin saws. Twelve-inch u, saws which have recently come into ar use are recommended by the Depart- w mint specialist, for a given ar.ioun'. 8( of ginning can be done vith saws of this size when the machinery is oper- sj ated more slowly than with 10-inch ^.. saws. With the saw shafts running at the same speed a gin equiped with n, 12-inch saws will have 20 per cent ^ advantage over the same gin equiped Ir with 10-inch saws. a Lotici From Poor Baling. | Perhaps the greatest losses falling NV on America cotton under present conditions are due to the careless prep a; aration of the bales. As they come n from the gin the bales are unwield; j)( t in] poorly covered, which causes nhandling charges to be greater than i. necessary and subjects the lint to was tagc and damages. I'rimarilv to r?>. .. ~ u duce handling and freight charges jy most of these bales are compressed C) at concentration points and are, in js; thv v ay, reduced to practically one- ti half their former bulk. The bale: are comprersed very rapidly in these f, establishments, however with the re 8S suit that some bands are tied shortei s< than others and bear most of the tt strain. Many such bands break later si leaving the cotton exposed in such : tl v av that it becomes seriously dantag- tl ed during .is long journeys. Com n plaints in regard to the condition of tl cotton on arrival at its destination e are continually being received from e foreign countries while the more care- p fully baled and covered cotton from .c Egypt and India arrives at same !i destination in good condition. w While little difference in efficiency n between the screw steam and hy- f< draulic gin presses for ordinary cotton bales is found by the Department b specialists they believe that wherevei practically the local ginrer should he g induced by the farmers t<> make use of the gin compresses which turns out a much more compact and belter cov- ^ e.-ed bole than the ordinary presses P produce. More important still, the J gin-eonipresscd bales, it has been _ found arrive at their destinations in l.oti > ' - * v.'imiiiiwii in,in uu oiner compressed hales. These ^in-compressed bales are of about the same bulk as bales which have been repressed in B railroad presses and need not, therefore undergo this second pressing > as a result, the exu?t charge foi ? freight compression, and handling ac- -< cruiiiK to the common flat bale are _ eliminated. The possiblities for inducing pinners to install i*in compresses will be greater where cooperative organizations exist and where the tfinninj; and compression of a suf ^ ficient number of bales can be eon- y trolled. In addition to discussing the faults of the present ginning system, the , , bulletin already mentioned describes in details the machinery, of the |<in: ordinary in use.
