There should nut be an hour’s del We have nothing more to wait for or discuss.

H. Cassel What Every Woman “ONLY PRUSSIANS.” NLESS the German people are too starved to think, they must see why it is the greater part of the civilized world so sympa-, thetically rejoices over what has happened in Rus: | Some Germans do see it. Witness the Socialist leader in the Reichstag, who writes in the Vorwaerts: “It does not require many words to explain why almost | the whole world is arrayed against us. The answer is given | quickly. The whole world sees among our enemies more or | . less developed forms of democracy, and in us it sees only | Prussians.” | That is the naked truth of it. When will the great suffering! body of the German nation open its eyes and see things as they are?| When will it understand where its troubles have come from and why they continue to come? A dynasty has put upon Germany a stamp, bent and shaped it to a) policy, branded it in the eyes of other nations with a curse. So long as, the German people continue to believe that devotion to that dynasty, and its false ideals is their only hope of national salvation, so long will) they find\it impossible to come to any understanding with the other peoples of Europe, There are Germans who know that and who do not fear to say it. | How long before a compelling majority of Germans will be convinced of it? | The war has put a terrific strain on dynasties. In Russia one has! broken down and democracy is sweeping out the fragments. In the Oentral Empires hard-pressed dynasties are grimly hanging on, strug-| gling desperately to disguise the damning truth that they have not been able to keep their promises to peoples or to give return for tho| awful tolls they have exacted, or to make up for the odium they hay brought upon great nations. “In us the world sees only Prussians.” And so it must be until} Wemocracy in Germany comes out of its Kultur trance, shakes itself! forever free of the Hohenzollern grip and turns to the other demo-| Taking Pains With the Day’s Work Big Factor in Get- ting Ahead, Says Wall Street Woman Who Knows tratic nations of the earth in a new spirit and with new ide: + A TIMELY BILL TO MAKE AMERICANS. | HE Lockwood-Goodman Americanization forum bill advocated by The Evening World should have the unanimous support of the New York legi It has but one purpose—to make Americ It could not have been introduced at a more opportune time. | Is, The measure directs the Board of Education in this city to open, the school houses for civic forums in the interest of promoting eitizen-| One hundred and fifty million dollars is invested in school ‘property, most of which is used only for achool purposes, this critical period its idle time c hip, Surely at n be put to no better use than in, promoting principles of Americanism.

HE OTHER DAY c 5 I went to hear a lecture on “How to Be Young Forever.” And it was wonderful! All you need {s faith, and hope, and oxygen, and oranges, and lettuce—and love. So on my way home I ordered the oranges and lettuce, (And a box of beauty cream, and a book on reducing, and aforget-me-not picture hat with a pink rose in it.) _ » And I came upon a pair of lovers, sitting on a greem » bench Holding hands, I do not remember whether they were forty or twenth— only that they seemed radiantly YOUNG! And all of a sudden I knew that it was spring—— And that I had stumbled upon the very heart of the secret of Eternal Youth, Sometimes I think that we are all Ponce de Leons, !n our mad pursuit of youth— And tn our foolish visionary methods of trying to find it. | HE sought It In a fountain—— And WE seck it frantically, in @ box or @ bottle, or a new system of exercises, At the drugeist’s or the beauty parlor or the hot springs! | Yet here it 1s, all the time, in the eyes of a pair of lovers On a park bench. | Because, Age is not a matter of the body, but of the soul— | Not a matter of gray hair and a wrinkled fac | But of gray hopes and shrivelled enthusiasm— | Not a matter of hardening of the arteries but of ossification of the heart? | And we may think it awfully chic to be cynical and bi | And decidedly clever to have the muscles of the heart under perfect contrel, | And to boast of our !mmuntity from love and spring dalliance, | And to look upon marriage as a deal rather than as an IDEAL. | BUT, if you have stopped falling in love, And are just contented with making money, and wearing clothes, and riding in motor cars, and eating asparagus and strawberries out of season, You are exchanging the Kobinoor of youth For a handful of glass beads, For love is the wine of youth! It makes the world go ‘round and the heart go ‘round and the head go | 4 round— | But {t keeps the years FROM going ‘round! | Ponce de Leon travelled the world over to find {t in « fountain | When He might have found it right in his own HEART! So if you are old and dull and cynical, | And want to know how it feels to be young and wine, and radiant, Just remember that it’s Spring—and cherry-blossom time im the heart— And “obey that impulse!” ‘ { Fall tn love! | as | TIME LOCK whe OPEN, aprit 2ND Successful Salesmanship By H.
