One Year.. sees One Month... VOLUME “EYES FRONT!” HE American public has never been more sure of itself than as it watches the development of the present crisis. That this is due in large measure to the admirable tone of dignity and calm at which the President pitched the nation’s not'ce to the German Government, there can be no doubt. If there was not haste enough in severing felations with Germany to satisfy some Americans, there was, in the President's latest avt, enough firmness and finality to un all Americans in a mood of determined readiness for what may come No earlier, more precipitate break that might have pleased part of the country could have produced the unanimity of response and purpose that now animates the whole. Everywhere citizens of every sort, public officials, men eminent in business and professions, even the nation’s most incorrigible parti- ans in Congress itself, are proving from hour to hour that they touch shoulders as they face a national crisis and a national duty © more impressive eign could be sought to show the public's! grasp of the situation than the quiet raising of flags on office build- ings and private houses that went on in this city last Saturday aftor-| noon, after the President’s decision had been made public. No wild) talk, no hasty demonstrations—only the instinctive placing of prop-| erty, interests, hopes, fortunes, honor and faith under the national) emblem. | Upon the City of New York devolves a special obligation to maintain this standard of steadiness and poise. Here meet, on the largest scale, conflicting instincts of race and nationality. Here are much talk, discussion, clash of opinion at close quarters. Here are many weak, easily excited minds exposed to influences calculated to throw them off their balance. These things must be thought of and their possible evil effects| foreseen and guarded against. But the intelligent New York public should permit itself no foolishly extravagant fears in this direction. It should not give way | to wild surmises and forebodings mercly because it sees police pro- tection increased and guards in uniform set over public works. | These are necessary precautions—taken for the most part only against possible eporadic attempts at violence on the part of cranks, lunatics, crack-brained enthusiasts—persons whom any crisis of the crt must inevitably make more dangerous. As matters ‘now etand, to etart or foster rumors that organized, hostile forces of one kind or another already menace the safety of the city is wicked foolishness, capable of doing incalculable harm. No good citizen should lend himself, even half in joke, to the | spreading of such fears and fancies. Above all, publio officials should take the greatest care in their utterances not to give ground for panic-breeding hints of mysterions dangers and menaces concealed at every turn. Self-respecting Americans, women as well as men, are ready to meet whatever has to be met fearlessly and with their eyes opon. But there can be no good in bending an ear to timorous gossips or ehuddering at possible conspiracy and treason every time a policeman er National Guardeman is noticed in an unaccustomed place. Tt is not yet war. But if war it is to be, New York, of all cities, is bound to, meet it—not with anxious peerings down chimneys and around corners, but with confidence and steady nerves. —_-+-—_—__—_. ‘The Housatonic appears to have been punctiliously sunk.

He re- turned home with a carefully pre- pared defense, but there was no need to offer it, Mrs. Jarr received him with the gracious tact of forgetful- ness. ‘Look what Clara Mudridge-Smith brought me to-day,” she said pleas- antly, and she disclosed a dainty limp leather volume, “It isn't any of that get-in-jall- quick Mterature, that illegal advice on eugenics, I hope?” remarked Mr, Jarr. “I should say not,” Mrs. Jarr re- torted, ‘See the title?” Mr, Jarr squinted close at the pretty booklet. “My Ladye Fatre,” he read. ‘What is it, a poem?” he aske “No, id Mrs, Jarr, “It is a com- pendium for the woman who would be well groomed.

Consright, 1917, hy Vrese Publishing Co. (The New York Kraning World.) OW, MY DAUGHTER, it came to pass that three Wise Women of Gotham met together to protest against the Tyrant, » And the first Woman addressed them, saying: “Behold, we are all over thirty! And why do we array oursel as Chivkens, and seek to appear a@ Squabs? . “Yea, why shall we not be frankly MIDDLE: GED? “Why shall we not demand to be loved for ‘beauties of the soul, and the lines of ‘character’ in our faces, and the ‘maturity’ of our figures—cven as men are loved for these things? “Verily, verily, women do not adore a full grown man for the pinkness of his cheeks, and the dimples in bis elbows, and the boyish ‘cuteness’ of lis ways! Why, then, do we permit men to love us only for the adolescent charms of Eternal Youth? “Yea, WHY must a woman be always ‘a GIRL?" And the others clapped their hands, and cried out heartily, saying: “Hear, hear! Verily, verily, thou hast spoken! Yea, thou hast eald it! We shall cast off this tyranny and be OURSELVES, even as @ man {s ‘Himself!'” Now at this point the Husband of the First Woman entered among them and turned up ALL the lights, that he might look upon them And the Women covered their faces and cried: “Have mercy, have mercy upon us! Lower the lights, we pray thee! For they make us all to look as Perfect Frights!” And one of the Women arose, saying: “Verily, verily, I must depart. For the Hairdresser awalteth to turm my silver locks to gold. Yea, every OTHER Wednesday | go to be ‘tinted.’ * And the second Woman arose saying: “Yea, I too must hasten away. Tor I have JUST time to do my chim exercises before retiring!” And the third arose, saying: “Yea, verily, I Mkewise must try a new face cream and get my Beauty Sleep.” d i But the man calmly sate him down and poured himself a flagon of ale, and lighted his pipe, and emoked cheerfully far into the night, um troubled by the thought that he was blackening his teeth and ruining his figure, For alas, he knew in his heart that whatsoever he might come to look Ike; yea, though he might resemble the Hippopotamus and the Orang-outang, SOME Woman would always be fool enough to LOVE him!
