It was this high idealism that served to break down the integrity of Germany within its own borders. Not until America went into the war did our allies adopt the slogan of fighting this war to “make the world safe for democracy.” They were fighting, but both sides contended that it was largely a materialistic war, as to whether one group of terri- tory snatchers or the other should rule Europe. America’s | entry defined the issues clearly, so clearly that it gradually became clear, even to the German people, and when they realized that they were not fighting a defensive warfare, as they had been led to believe by the kaiser, when they realized that America and the allies were not intending to annihilate their national integrity or seize their lands, their disintegra- tion, as a military unit, began. Their military servility began to crumble. postcards K. L., “that k Maria is a White We haven't ways before crossing a street eee ALSO OPEN?

One other aversion was the encroachment of a rather peculiar style of beard on his chin—which made him very careful in his choice of razors. Greeley had to have a razor that would “balance”— that would seem part of his hand—a razor that would go surely and easily just so far and no farther. Such a razor was that old-time model which you well know—whose “heft” and “feel” have never been equalled—a sure shaver lacking only the safety of the guarded, two-edged ee If you, too, must shave just so far and edged—and detachable and stroppabie, no farther, the Durham-Duplex is your making for economy and the luxury ofa razor.
