The Effect __ The German war party spent millions of dollars trying ha keep the United States out of the war until the Huns d defeated France, Russia and Great Britain.

But*the mad war party in one moment destroys all the work of its plotters and propagandists. By sinking a ital ship it offsets the work of a thousand plotters. ibing hospitals strengthens the arm and the determina- _ tion of our fighting men in the trenches and quickens other tory and home. Slaying wounded men and murdering non-combatants nullifies the pacifist preachings of pro-Ger- , plotters and socialists. The effect of Hunnish terror- is not what the kaiser hopes for. It makes us want to it all the more. Had it any other effect upon us, we would not deserve “to be a free people. If it frightened fis into less war effort we would deserve “Made in Germany” laws, customs and language—and a Potsdam ruler. Between defeats and retreats the Huns are spending their time cooking wp some more “peace” dope. The Boy Scouts the Boy Scouts need money to “carry on.” Their older friends began today a short, f. t campaign ‘for the next three years. The plan is indorsed by Presi- dent Wilson and Gen. Pershing as a “win the war” activity. Fathers whose sons are Boy Scouts will not hesitate tohelp. The others ought not to hesitate. 4 For the Boy Scout movement is making America a better place to live in. The Scout laws, traditions and teachings make boys more trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. “1 believe,” says Dr. Henry Suzzallo, president of the University of Washington, “that the Boy Scout movement) is the greatest supplement to school education which has been devised in this country. It is supplying just the Qualities which have been missing in our Ameriacn youth.” Such a movement deserves solid support.

The two are great friends. I do hope Daddy will not tell Tony Curt about a Lorimer heir—just yet. f it's plain that Daddy te wot on marrying Chrystabel, Bob's twin, to Certels, That may be because the two men have close business as well | as professional And Chrys, at least, ts in love! I know, because Chrys, who walks as lonely as a star most of the time, and never gets a mite excited about any body except the dead, who converse by means of ouija bourds—Chrys has taken to talking about Certels! Last night she came t@® my room and we knitted a race tocing off socks—our last pairs for the big Red Cross drive, Chrys pretended that she wanted to congratulate me on the possibility that I would add another link to the Lorimer-chaim of life, but I really think she only ayanted to find out what I know about Tony Curt. Between us, we certainly -compiled a most exciting and romantic biog raphy for that fascinating, mysterious and irresistible gentleman Chrys says that Certeis, altho raised in America, was born in Spain, As a child, he traveled up and down the earth with his parents, which explains why he speaks seven languages more or perfectly. It was during his boyhood that his family lived here. They had a fine house near the Lorimer’s, and Tony Curt went to American schools, But instead of going to an American college, he was sent to the Uni versity of Bonn, and there, Chrys avers, he associated with the gay crowd which surrounded the crown prince of Germany! All which I thought most astounding, but Chrys hints that Certeis is himself of noble birth—that probably he is descended from an illegit imate line of royalty, part Spanish and part Austrian, He has a Spanish duke for an uncle—but whether the relationship is maetrnal or paternal, Chrys is not quite clear. I asked her to get out her oulja board and put the question straight to the dear departed kings of both lines, but she couldn't—because in tell ing her story she had lost count of her stitches and she had to ravel out inches of the toe of that sock, So I finished mine first But she will some day—ask the kings—tho she says knitting destroys her psychic qualities. I felt like telling her that almost any kind of useful work would doubtless do the same thing Certeis took medical lectures in Edinburgh, Paris and Vienna and he studied chemistry in Berlin. He came back here the very month the war broke in 1914, Jim Jr. says that Certeis has more knowledge of alcohol and T. N. 'T. and turpentine and explosives than a medical man requires in hia ord! nary practice. Just why Certeis should spend his life in time of war doctoring a few rich men—who really need nothing but exercise—is more than I can understand. But then, neither can 1 understand a lot of other things; for instance: WHY do I not want Hamilton Certeis to know that I am to be a mother? relations, (To Be Continued) [LETTERS TO TRIE EDITOR | DRUG VICTIM WRITES [left there to fight it off.

Dear Miss Grey: When reading over the casualty list I see where it will state a number of names of boys “missing in action.” What does this mean, and what really does be come of these boys? A WAR MOTHER. “Missing in action” means that at the time the casualty lists are made out these boys are not list- ed as prisoners or their bodies have not been recovered among the wounded or dead, The names of some lads listed among the missing in action are later found to have been taken prisoners or seriously wounded. In case the latter is not true, there is only one other theory, and that is that the bodies have been buried in debris or mutilated beyond Natur- | “Anony: | I have long ago learned that every }rose has its thorns—but there is a limit to everything.
