Phone Male 600, Private Malt departments, 3 Bond for Every American Woman | The other day a clever man, who loved his own clever-| ness, asked a party of friends if they had ever stopped to wonder why Belgium was always drawn in cartoons as a woman, The inference he tried to convey was that there was something weak about Belgium. | | He entirely missed the point which has been seen and) appreciated by almost every other person in the world and that it that Belgium was, in reality, as helpless as a woman} when Germany, with her millions of soldiers, forced a pass-} age thru to France. é t ‘ The Belgian army could and did resist them. Unpre- . almost unarmed, with little hope of assistance and | ittle knowledge of the forces _ faced, Belgium fought on after day, week after week. | gf It was as tho a band of murderous bandits had forced} their way into a house, threatening death to all within. | While the husband and sons sought arms, the wife and | mother struggled with the leader to delay him, to give time, a few moments only, for the men to arm. Rae | But, there is another reason why martyred Belgium! is always represented as a woman, F ; German psychology is a fearful thing and is based upon purely materialistic ideas. The Germans saw and noted that patriotism and sacrifice and endurance are) strongest in the hearts of women. a “Therefore,” thought Germany, “if we can terrorize the women of Belgium and frighten them, they will break down the courage of the men and we will win an easy to Paris.” 3 This was at the base of the torturing and murdering of children, of helpless old men and women, and the torturing and murdering of the women themselves. ; | It is the fate of plans based upon gross desires and motives that, in the end, they defeat themselves. | There is in the world, Matthew Arnold said, “a power,| not of ourselves, which makes for righteousness. ‘ He might better have said: “There is a power which defeats unrighteousness or wrong.” The crimes committed against womanhood in Belgium did not break down the courage of the women of Belgium,| but they did steel tHe determination of every true man thru-| out the world that these torturers and murderers of women, | and of children, should be resisted to the death and that! the German army should be beaten down, its soldiers killed ‘one by one, company by company, regiment by regiment,| until the so-called “Invinciblé Line” is broken and Germany! sees pour back upon her own soil the soldiers she had sent, out to ravage other nations.

The German soldiers drove! them out, and proceeded to kill the two men close at hand. One of the daughters being lame, the grandmother took the grandchild in order to aid the lame mother in her flight; but at the corner of the lane both women and child were killed. Besides her two daughters, Mme. Gorres had a daugh- ter-in-law who had children. The butchéts threw this young mother on the ground and struck her violently. The unhappy woman, distracted, threw herself into the water. She was rescued and found refuge in the church. BUY LIBERTY BONDS. A dumb man dropped a plate and spoke. Maybe he was educated in China!

Iam a married man and have been for the past 15 years. Lhave one child, a girl, and have buried two children. I have one of the best women in the world. She is not one of the women of today, 1 ed to ever come home and © not home, The house ts always neat and clean, the baby and horself are always immaculate. She is not beautiful, but good look ing and has a very sweet dispost tion and fs an extra fine cook. This is my trouble. We were very happy until five years ago.

I would give every dollar if I only could, She doesn't care for anyone else. If she did I should go crazy. I know you will say I am selfish, and I know I am, but I have traveled this old world and neon a true blue like am considerably older. She is only 30 and ought to be made happy. Now what do you advise me to do? ANXIOUSLY WAITING. Perhaps if you could bring yourself to measure love by something finer, more priceless than gold, you might win back that which you most value, the her. I love of a wonderful woman. All thra your letter, gold and happiness seem to be synony roous. You say you give her all the money she can use, dress her swell ,etc. The love of such a woman as you describe as your wife cannot be bought by gold. Sometimes it can be won by some simple little atten tion. You speak of being away. Why not arrange to have your wife and child with you as much as possible on these trips? Find out what she is most interested in and be come interested in that thing, too, In this way you will put yourself o her plane of thought N er refer to your past misstep by word or deed After all it Is the little things in life that count And you may hope that old Father Time will heal the wound in her heart, and that your renewed court ship will bring back the affec tion of the old days.
