And we celebrate, with all the power of expres- sion, all the means which we command. It is glorious to emerge from gloom into the sunshine, to know that the busi- ness of killing is at an end, to feel that we can return to our ordinary ways of pursuing happiness. But what of the boys tossing on European hospital cots? What of the boys who must still undergo the hard- ships of army life? What of the thousands of our boys who must, for some time, endure the discipline and depriva tions of the camps? All of these young heroes of ours need us today even more than when the full heat of the fight was on. Picture a wounded boy elevated in spirit by the glorious news but his torn body still trying to recover and failing thru our neglect. Picture sthose boys on the battle lines in rain, cold and mud, idle, longing to get home, and en- during all sorts of hardships, and neglected by us safe and comfortable celebrators of peace. Picture the thousands of lads in the camps, prospects of doing mighty deeds gone, far from their unusually happy homes which the sunshine of peace brightens, and yet still disciplined and confined, neglected by us who are free and joyous. Peace! Thank God! But now is the time to give to the United War Work fund, that everything possible may be done for our boys who are still in the war to serve and endure. Now for the reminiscences flood. Three Good Bets Here's one safe bet: = The world isn’t going to become Cossack-ruled. Mili- tarism has been killed in the house of its friends.

It is by resorting to such an appeal, trumped up and stage-managed, that the German government today is try- img to sway the United States from a firm adherence to the armistice terms. The wireless message that came Thursday night to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Miss Jane Addams from “the National Council of German Women” beseeching them to Prevent “unspeakable disaster” if the terms are insisted upon was calculated to arouse all the chivalry and tender of America. And under normal conditions it would. But to America comes insistently a louder call of wom- anhood—the shrieks of the outraged w and girls of Serbia, the subdued heroism of the women 6f Belgium and the rifle crack at Edith Cavell’s execution, the shrieks of the Lusitania’s perishing, the groans and sobs of the lacerated after the Zeppelin raids, the cries for food of the starved and mistreated Russian and Polish fugitives the death chorus of uncounted thousands in Armenia. The German women shall not starve. Nor shall | eh ars mag ever make us forget the hiessness built. Making peace evidently means making picces. Sugar and Restaurants f » Now that the food administration has lifted the ban to a considerable extent on sugar restrictions, what has hap- All the restaurants in Seattle immediately offered an extra lump of sugar to every customer, quite voluntarily. It was not necessary to ask the waitress for another lump. The restaurants did that, of course, because all during the war they had been giving us a smaller and smaller ration for patriotic reasons), at a higher and higher cost. All ing the war, mind you, they would have given us the full rations which we paid for, except for government re- strictions. So now that the restrictions have been removed, they were quick to give us full value, at least on sugar. WHAT? They’re still clinging to the microscopic two- cube ration?

What do you think about it? “ You do not state what prepra- tion you have made for a home and means to care for a wife. I take It that you have simply asked the girl to marry without offering to exchange confi dences, or giving her any assur ance of what the future may hold in store for you both. Con: fidence is the mainstay of a asful marriage. Young poo should come to a thero un derstanding regarding finances, before they marry, This prob lem causes more unhappiness and aration than all of the other problems of married life put together, If you have been frank and sincere with the girl in this re aspect, drop her. She is not worth wasting any more time over, Girls who have the idea that they can keep several fel lows dangling uncertainly on the end of the string should be disabused of the idea at once.
