Fathers usually give the command to do or not to do, A daughter becomes a companion of the mother both household and social duties, and she learns to do or to do more by way of suggestion and experience. "A father in his business life is either a boss or is Bossed, and he takes the spirit of command home with o his boys at least.

It is herewith translated with the American language: The Big Four Kindly sign this Righ here on the dotted line. Germany: Why? B. Because you are licked. When you lose the game, you know, you must pay. G.: But you are too severe. ‘Before the war we supported 67,000,000 people. Now you ask us to do the same, but with dimin- ished resources, B. : Oh,®o0. We are taking territory away from you which will relieve you of 6,000,000, That will help some. G.: You are taking away our ships. B. F.; Yes, to some extent, But we take only 4,000,000 tons of shipping. You piratically sank 42,750,000 tons of the world’s shipping, you remember. So we are not requiring you to pay a third of the damage you did. G.: You are depriving me of regions on my Eastern side that were specially devoted Treaty. to wheat and potatoes. B. F.: Wheat and potatoes will still grow there. You can buy them. Besides, you ought to be thankful these regions you speak of have not been devastated like Bel- gium, : You are depriving me of lands from which come one-third of my coal. B. F.: You ought to have thought of that, Fritzie, when you destroyed the coal mines of northern France with such wanton savag- ery. All western Europe is shy of coal. Why not you? G.: I shall have to import my iron ores and zinc and other necessities. by Frank Crane B. F.: Granted. But your “fundamental fallacy lies in supposing you have to possess political control of any territory in order to procure its products. G.: My punishment is greater than I can bear. Think of the hardships you are im- posing on my people. is B. F.: This war has imposed hardships on all peoples. You are getting no more than your share, Besides, you started the trouble. G.: You are fixing things so that few countries will receive our emigrants. Where will our surplus population go? And a floo of Germans will return to their native land; where conditions will be intolerable. B. F.: Perhaps. In that case one of the things will balance the other. G.: Our war losses are too heavy. B. F.: No heavier than ours. In fact, you have suffered less than we. You have | not been invaded. The war was not fought on your territory. Even with all youfpun- ishment you are better off than Belgium, — or Serbia. G.: You are depriving us of our military, armaments. B. And you ought to thank us. No you will not have to support them. All you lose in ships and coal and supplies and ritory will be more than made up to yo by getting rid of your enormous army. (It would be a good thing if somebody would’ lick us and make us disarm.) Your but dens are hard. But all Europe is carryin a load almost unbearable on acount of tl war. So run along and sign, Fritzie. G.: What if I won’t? |. B.
