Prrness nit neutral nations to sell their own supplies to Ger- many, while we grub-stake them, even though the food is for women and children only, will make a sieve of our embargo. | It ie humanity, but it is not war. For every Teutonic non-combatant ° nourished by this charitable method an Allied life will be sacrificed on the fighting front. It means prolongation of the war. In days of Prussian desperation, every civilian, every non-com- datant, every consideration of humanity will be stripped by ttt autocracy for the necessities of militarism. After Belgium, after the Lusitania, after the lying deceit of sub- marine pledges, can anybody believe for a moment any promise or agreement the German Government might make? German submarines have no regard for the food of British women | and children, or those of neutrals either, when they sink supply ships, even those bearing relief to starving Belgians. German aeroplanes dropping bombs of London seemed to have picked out for special | slaughter the women and children, for they have been the principal victims. The humanitarian loophole that the United States Government} is reported to make in the embargo for benefit of the helpless popula- tion of Germany means just so much more food available for the Prussian army, and it is this army that the Allies must beat either in} front or in the rear if peace is to come. The Hindenburgs, the Luden- dorfs and the Batockis will see to it that the army gets the first and best, regardless of women and children. America’s neutral foodstuff will feed mere Boches at the front than innocents at home. The greatest charity, the highest humanity for all the world Is to bring this conflict to the quickest possible close. | After three years of experience the only apparent way to do | it is to crush Prussian militarism with relentless severity. | Any more mercifal method means prolongation of the agony | for belligerents and neutrals alike, In New York harbor numbers of neutral ships, some loaded, some! waiting for cargo, are all anxious to get away, and the Germans are more anxious than the owners for their departure. Every pound of food and war material they can land in Holland or Sweden means) the possibility, at least, of an equal amount available for the Central | Powers. ‘: But, strangely, many of these ships still linger in port, even though the embargo does become effective next Monday, Certainly | | | | nothing the United States has done to them causes the delay. We have, a not stopped them, BUT THE BRITISH HAVE That sly string England tied to neutral ships, requiring a safe! conduct and a clean bill of lading to pass through her blockade on the other side of the Atlantic, has been pulled taut in these final days of trickling contraband. There have been cnespected delays for ship} owner's in obtaining the proper certification. Investigations have been very strict. So the Dutch and Scandinavian ships still ride at anchor in the harbor. ' The United States takes over responsibility for exports within a few days. On the strictness of its embargo to neutrals depends to large extent whether Germany can continue the war through another} winter, PURE POLITICS.

Copyright, 1917, by The Prem Publishing Co, (T « New York Evening World), ‘Y Daughter, seest thou silver threads among the gold of my coiffure? r Perceivest thou a wrinkle in the smooth surface of my fore- head? For, vertly, there's a reason! Behold, while my Beldved was a Bachelor hé lived as a bachelor, and was content. Yea, his patience was beyond belief and his en- durance knew no bounds! Though the rain fell upon his roof and poured with- in his windows, though the refrigerator of his bachelor flat lgaked, though its doors were wont to stick and its windows ratiled, though the trolley cars and 0) neighbors awoke him at dawn, there was no com- plaint IN him. And “Moekness” was his middle name. But now that my Beloved 1s MARRIED he requireth all the comfo; that are due a married man. And lo, how different are his ideals! Go to! He that once dined in restaurants and snatched his suo tenance in quick lunch places, hath now become exceeding sensitive concerning his appetite; and one-quarter of a minute's difference in the boiling of his eggs or the broiling of his steak is of vast and weighty moment. . | He that was once made glad by # home dinner of canned things, jand @ flagon of ale, now requireth hot puddings and perfect waffles, and nightingales’ tongues for his digestion’s sake. Behold, he that once held his garments together with a safety-pin, demandeth. that laundries must be run by angels, and that that which went forth in rags must return whole and mended again. Lo, he that once slept upon beds of lumps prepared by careless charwomen, now rageth and {s filled with wrath if there be a wrinkle in his sheet, and his mattress must be smoother than down, and his pil- lows softer than zephyrs. Verily, he that once snatched the first garments at hand, wherewith to clothe himself, is now wroth unless his shirts be laid out, and the studs placed therein; he requireth collar buttons to appear at his call, as if by magic, and shoes to walk toward him wheh he whistleth, and | Tazors to fly from their places at his morning greeting. Lo, @ leaking refrigerator or a sticking door, they drive him to | madness; and a newsboy that arriveth not upon the minute with his morning paper arouseth the fire of his wrath. Verily, verily, milkmen and icemen must be souls of honor, and Uke | unto soldiers or the rising sun in their promptness and regularity. | Behold, oooks and tradesmen and janitors must be flawless veiugs of stained glass, without human failings, or faults or weariness. House verily, such things may be—and charwomen who forget things sent to the electric chair. Doors and | windows must move upon oiled hinges, and dumb-waiters must act with human intelligence, For, behold, my Beloved is MARRIED; and he knoweth in his heart | that a Wife is a worker-of-miracles, who can turn servitors from human beings into stained glass saints; who can alter the whole apartment+ | house system, yea, and if need be, change the entire solar system, for his | sweet sake. | Verily, verily, HOME 1s his Heaven; and he demandeth that dt shall indeed be a heaven-upon-earth! Tell me, ob, Daughter, if thou perceivest any silver threads among the gold of my coiffure! For THIS 1s another reason why women age EARLIER than men! | Selah.
