BERLIN, via London, June 16.— Commenting on the aeroplane attack pon Karisruhe, Paul Becker, assist- ant chief editor of the Tages-Zeitung, terms it “a nefarious and senseless act,” for which “unscrupulous re- tallation” is demanded. He declares Germany hitherto has retaliated for the bombardment of defenseless un- fortified cities only by the bombard- ment of military localities, but that fn example should now be made. Herr Becker suggests that the best step would be a bombardment of the westorn portion of London. He thinks the retaliatory measures should be extended also to other departments of warfare. Count Ernest von Reventlow, the naval expert of the same paper, re turns this morning to the attack upon the article of Eugen Zimmerman, general director of the Lokal An- zieger, in favor of efforts toward a German-American understanding. In an article headed “German Prop- fganda for Deliveries of Weapons to Germany's Enemies,” Count von Reventlow says the defense by Ger- man newspapers of these weapon deliveries is one of the most incre- dible things which has occurred dur- ing the war. He attacks Vorwaerts for its approval of the Lokal Anzel- ger’s proposal and again assails the latter paper for declaring there was no occasion for indignation at the attempt of England to starve out Germany, which was held to be legitimate warfare. The Kreuz Zeitung also attacks the Lokal Anzeiger for its article of Mon- day, cially the declarations con- cerning the sale of weapons by Ameri- cans. Prof. Otto Hoetazch, a regular con tributor to the Kreuz Zeitung, declares | there is no truth In the report of al secret understanding between the United States and Great Britain, and| it warns against rendering the relv-| tions between Germany and the} United States more acute by the pub-; lication of statements of this nature. | The Boerse Zeitung adopts the same | point of view as the Lokal Anzeiger, | that there may be another side to the! question of the shipment of Amer: arms to the allies, This newsnap refers to Germany's opposition at T! Hague conference to the prohibition this practice, and declares the proach that America is selling only to the allies to be untenable for the rea- fon that it cannot sell to Germany The most that can be said, this newspaper declares, is that this is a! departure from the ideal of humonity. | The Government might possibly forbid this traffic, “but it would make itself more unpopular than it Is.” “Mr, Bryan's suggestion to forbid puch traffic,” this newspaper goes on to say, “would almost entirely remove the points of friction between America and Germany.” Husband and Children Should Help, Says Mrs. Pat- | tison, Pointing Out Some Troubles of Modern - Homes and How They Can Be Avoided—Simplic- ity That Makes for Easy Work and Beauty, Too.

HER IDEA OF WHAT AMERICAN HOME SHOULD BE, What are the first principles of the home? This is how she defines its functions: “A home is the constant pro- duction of an atmosphere or atate of organized existence for the Purpose of providing proper shel- ter, comfort, nourishment and en- couragement for the development of each individual member. “That is what the American home should be,” said Mrs, Pattison. “What many an American home actually is has been described with perfect truth jbs rson: "The houses of the rich| are confectioners’ snops where we get sweetmeats and wine; the houses Need the poor are imitations of these to | the best of their ability, With these jends housekeeping 1s not beautiful; ‘It cheers and raises neither the hus- |band, the wife, nor the child, neither jthe host nor the guest; women," it oppresses | She paused a moment, her delicate brows arched.

In our house there isn’t a single mantelplece or a single cabinet full of useless, dust-collect- ing objects. Why should any house- keeper feel compelled to serve a din- ner of many courses? Every one at the table is bored to death with them. A few well-chosen dishes make much more pleasing meal, “It seems to me that there are many things for the home-maker to consider besides new desserts and original designs in pillow-shams. My book was written In protest against that sort of thing, It makes me im- patient and disgusted with every woman's magazine I pick up, par- tloularly with the magazine run by that man!” With a disdaintul pucker of her mouth Mrs, Pattison mentioned the name of the male editor certain periodical printed for women, “The servant makes the discomfort and nereeu tenon under which many a home ts oper- ated,” she continued. “Both the miss tress and the maid suffer from the HoevE Weta in its present status, come to the point woman who wi of a especially 8 except an ‘a month, with the dging, and a - transient willingness to Fearn the English fanguage and a few of the ‘wayi » other hand, domestic ser- vice is believed to be but meniai| drudgery, and the form of contract is semi-slavery, The maid-of-all- work sells her entire time, since she has to live in the houre where she works.
