ROCLAIMING the existence of a state of war, the President P makes clear to the American people what must be their atti- tude toward alien enemios residing within the United States. He finds it unnecessary to remind Americans what their attitude should be toward one another and toward the special duties and re- sponsibilities now put upon them. They have shown they are enter- ing upon this war with a sober thoughtfulness too deep to find ex- pression in excited salvos and demonstrations. They need neither advice nor caution to keep them to seriousness and self-restraint. Easter, day of hope and gladness for all Christendom, finds the nation beginning the sternest task it ever set itself, Every American, man, woman and child, is going to find some portion of that task, howover small, assigned to him or her. The portion may be active work in field, factory or hospital. It may be to make great sacrific with courage and faith. It may be and will be for most only to stay at home and perform plain duties with patient, conscientious stew- ardship. That, after all, is what millions of Americans who will have no chance to fight must now feel themselves to be—stewards. Upon them the country depends to guard it against extravagance within, against habits of laziness and luxury which no people at war| can rightfully permit itself, against waste which in war brings want | in its most terrible forms. In their households, their businesses, their pleasures, their plans, | Americans cannot but soberly ask themelves what changes they ought | to make to conform with a national spirit of economy, concentration, self-control. Comparatively few can fight for the nation, All can be its faithful stewards. — | ‘There should be another declaration of war at once.

Who Swayed England’s Destinies. f NEW Member of Parlfament got up to make his first speech ig England's House of Commons one day in 1837. He was @ fantastic figure as he stood there, nervous and fidgeting. His costume was absurdly foppish and eccentric, eves | tor that period of eccentric and foppish dress, His dark hair was long and very much oiled. One huge ringlet was plastered closely down over his forehead, almost reaching to bis jutting beak of a nose. He wore no | mustache, but @ goatlike beard waggled grotesquely over his starched | neck-cloth. ‘The man was Benjamin Disraeli, a dandy and high liver, who had all but smothered himself under an avalanche of debts; who had dabbled im # Mterature in a lazy fashion, and who had tried his hand, with no great success, at various pursuits. When he was well past thirty he had made | a final bid for fame and fortune by shouldering his way into polities, rely+ ing on @ public career to free him from debt and to give him the reputae tion his restless ambition craved. ‘After repeated defeats he had won a seat in Parliamen And now, petore that seat was warm, he was making his “maiden speech —the speech < .@ Which he had planned as tis firpt step to the pinnacle of ; A Tompe' } pp i Choking back his neGvousness as best he could }_of Ridicule. ? readjusting the curl on his forehead, Disrueli beeen to ine wpenk. He did not get very far. Perhaps few more ridiculous speeches have ever b n made on the | floor of the House of Commons. In brief, the orator proceeded to make all kinds of a fool of himself, After the first few words a titter arose, Dis« ‘paelt flinched but kept on. ' ‘The titter swelled to a howl of laughter, punctuated by catcalls.

But in fess than a week he was on his feet again addressing the Iouse of Commons, This time nobody guyed him, And the uphill fight for polle — ~ tical leadership began. , ‘A year later Disracl strengthened his public career and saved nimseld from financial shipwreck by marrying the rich widow of one of his friends He frankly admitted that he married her for her money, 4 But he grew to love her dévotedly, And her affection and wise guidance, even more than her fortune, care ried him forward in his fight for power, Within @ very few years Disraeli had established himself as one of England's foremost statesmen. It was an era of great men; yet he forced his way past the greatest of his competitors, Several times he served as Prime Minister. His threat was fulfilled.
