The Kellogg pact has carried that idea far and the coming together of Ramsay MacDonaid, the | English premier, and President Hoover in an attempt to set definite limits to naval armament has given dram- ‘atic effect to the movement for universal peace.

They had to be hidden or the moral issues | would not have had much more value than so many | scarcecrows in a December cornfield. The concealment was thorough enough to fix the emotions of the war and of the post-war period for this generation and to control the course of international action by the allies and for them. When the revised ideas are no longer consequen- ; tial they may be generally accepted. There remain some still secreted factors in the con duct of the war which, if they were revealed, would clear up events not now explained. Some of them might be found to have an important relation to a proper valua- tion of effort and responsibility. Here, for example. are three questions: Who in Germany was really responsible for the order sent to the United States stipulating how American neutrals might travel on the seas, what kind of coloring | and flags the boats privileged to carry American citizens must display to escape U boats? Why was no attempt made to put a sufficient and competent American army in France until so late in 1918 and why was no real use made of American troops until the Germans in their great drives of that year had al- most beaten the British and the French and were within reach of victory? Who dealt with the German revolutionaries and the rebellious sailors and fomented the insurrection against ; the kaiser and his government in the manner in whicn| the Germans arranged the Russian revolution? The adequate and truthful answer to the second ques- tion will have considerable importance with respect to the final American effort which was decisive. Why was it delayed? What influence caused the delay? If it was by the design of the allies it is consequential partic- ularly if we are to continue to regard’the war and its consequences morally. The submarine campaign brought the United States into the war, Without it another cause might have been found, but this one was. What German influenced the decision to crowd American sentiment to the limit? Was it Von Tirpitz? Or Ludendorff? A naval or an army purpese? Was it a decision of overconfidence or of panic? When Americans study the war they would like to know who started them to fight in Europe. The Germans were winning when this sea policy against the most powerful neutral was put in effect. They were outmaneuvering and outfighting the British on the sea. They had stopped the French offensive of the spring of 1917 and the following British offensive. They had smashed Roumania. The Russian revolution had begun the disorganization of the Russian army and | the Red revolution, engineered by Germany, was abou to complete it. > The year that found America accepting the German rout of the Italians at Caporetto, and the peace treaty with Russia signed at Brest-Litovsk. The German who dragged the United States in snatched victory from the hands of his countrymen. But some allied policy did its best to compensate Germany for this and to prevent the effect of its consequences. Less than 6,000 men of the First American division were landed in France in late June, 1917, and in October four regiments of the division were fighting in Lorraine. The United States met the situation with the energy which its seriousness required and was raising and train- ing an army with no limit as to numbers, was in the United States and not in France and it did not start for France until almost sufficient time had | been given Germany to complete its victory and make | the cause in Europe hopeless. Who delayed the use of the American army until it was almost too late to get the troops in the field and stop the Germans? One explanation has been that the British could not furnish transport because of their panic over food and supplies.

Roumania was crushed and Germany was free to concentrate its victorious forces on the and the fifth army was destroyed. In May the offen- sive was released against the French and they were shattered or staggered. The question is who or what had prevented the apperrance of the American army in the line before the terrible chances had been taken of German attacks which so nearly succeeded?

He may be subject to rheumatism later in life, but the sensitive child must be trained carefully to avoid neuras- thenia and such disorders as chorea or St. Vitus’ dance. This trouble com- monly appears between the ages of 5 and $5, and is more frequent with boys than with girls. It is character- ized by jerky movements of the arms, hands, legs and feet, and involuntary twitchings of the muscles of the face, neck and chest. The seat of this disease is in the! brain and spinal cord, but one of the causes lies in a systematic toxemia which locates in those parts. The nervous child who is fed on bad food combinations and given an excess of starchy foods will build up a morbid toxicosis which creates an irritation of the large nerve centers, Such irritation is made worse and literally multiplied by wrong mental training. If the parents cater to every desire and whim of the child they are definitely educating the child to get what he wants by a show of tem- per or nerves. The whining child is one who has learned his tricks from the mother who ignorantly gives him what he wants to stop the coaxing. Too frequently mothers set their children very poor examples by lack of self-control. Mothers who neglect -@| their responsibilities: in their house- hold duties must expect their children to learn to dodge their music lessons by complaining of being tired or hav- ing a headache. If a real case of chorea or nervous breakdown has started. the child must, of course, be kept quiet for a-few days. Rest in bed and fasting from all food | will quickly restore him to the normal. | Frequent enemas also cleanse the {colon of any toxic accumulations and have a good moral as well as a good | Physical effect.

Reducing is easy (I have fol- lowed your instructions and reduced 40 pounds in a little over four months), but it doesn't do much good unless one can somehow shrink the skin. I do daily exercises and take cold showers.” Answer.—The skin does not shrink or reduce as rapidly as the fat under it, but I believe that this condition will be corrected in the course of time if you will continue to take the daily exercises and cold showers. I am mail- ing you an article on wrinkles which will give you many helpful sugges- tions, Weak Ligaments Question—R. F. writes: “I am 16 ‘years old and am troubled with weak ligaments. I have a knee which fre- quently slips out of joint, and I have this trouble with my elbows likewise. ‘What, if anything, can be done to cor- rect this condition? Would any spe- cial diet help these weak joints? Answer.—There is no special dict to correct weak joints. The best method of overcoming this condition is to take exercises so that you can strengthen the muscles. Not much can be done to strengthen ligaments ex- cept to strengthen the neighboring muscles and improve the circulation around the joints. You must be careful avoid displacing, as every displace- ment weakens the ligaments still more, Breathing Dust Question. —K. H. W. writes: “I am by trade a driller, at present doing concrete work. This is naturally a very dusty job, and this fine concrete dust envelops me when at work. Is there any danger of this dust getting into the lungs? If I keep this work up for a long time will it have any effect on my health?” Answer.—If you breathe too large a quantity of rock dust it could lead to clean the same day.
