NO HE absolute embargo which the President has placed wpor Ameria that might reach and help t ener one of the most staggering blows dealt Germany in the whole course of the war, It is bound to be #0 felt in Berlin This embargo is the impressive act of a nation which has entered the conflict with the determination to hasten ite end by eve legitim means Despite its with to respond to the genuine needs of neutral peoples, the United States nevertheless gives notice that those needs will be considered only after it has stopped all leaks by which Amer jean goods get into Germany. “The liberation of our surplus products,” declares the > President, “shall not be made the occasion of benefit to the enemy either directly or indirectly.” That means the United States has no food for neutrals who sell their own food products to German agents, That meangthe United States refuses to replace articles of any sort which neutrals send out of their own countries to add to the fighting power of Germany. ‘ The President has lifted a formidable weapon against the enemy. It is a weapon which, as The Evening World has repeatedly pointed out, required no time-consuming preparation for its effective use. It strikes quick and hard. If neutrals do not like it, let them remember that what has been going on within and across their borders has been one of the most urgent arguments for wielding it. Germany will feel it instantly—sooner than the Imperial Gov- ernment can be brought to stern reckoning with American guns and bayonets. —— “OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE.” ARDINAL GIBBONS undoubtedly speaks for the Catholic Church in this country when he declares the restoration of Belgium to be an indispensable condition of peace. The rights of Belgium, the Cardinal holds, constitute “a question of the first importance, entering into the very heart and essence of the whole conflict, where, in order to satisfy the conscience of humanity, every claim of justice must be fully met and satisfied.” In these words of the American Cardinal may be felt earnest ‘emphasis and amplification of the brief phrase used by the Papal Secretary of State last week in his statement designed to explain and supplement the Pope's peace proposals, That phrase was: Moreover it is necessary to remark, as to condonation of damages caused by the war; that there is an exception apply- ing particularly to Belgium. In the United States will be felt a special satisfaction that the Catholic Church is openly and explicitly committed to the defense < i} of Belgian rights. ¥ Americans can never forget the voice of brave Cardinal Mercier erying out for vengeance upon the brutal invaders of his country: “The collective crime of @ nation which violates the rights of others is incomparably more grievous than that of an individual whom society sends to the galleys or the gull- lotine. i The crime committed against Belgium is one which Catholics and Protestants agree cannot» be condoned, The better part of Christeudom is united in demanding reparation. indie iecslaterreresion THE BIG FEAST. HE Send-Off Dinner first suggested by The Evening World as a tribute to the soldiers of New York City and State has grown to a size where it requires nearly as much managing as a world’s fair. The reason why it has gone on getting bigger and bigger, taxing the strenuous and willing efforts of the Mayor's Committee and The Evening World to look after its needs, is because the patriotism of ‘New York business men is not confined to standing up when the Star Spangled Banner is played or telling somebody else what ought to be done for the soldiers, When The Evening World said “dinner,” «pd explained for whom, a lot of these men—produce merchants, poulterers, fruit deal- ers, wholesale grocers, hotel men, restaurant proprietors and cigar company heads—just nodded and began to send in lists of the goods they wanted to contribute. And they have kept hard at it ever since, until the quantity of turkeys, fruits, jellies and other good things that will be ineeaa fs Uncle Sam’s boys in this city and in camp to-morrow night would make a monument as big as a pyramid to the patriotism and gener- osity of those who rose to the idea of the send-off feast and helped to make it the long-to-be-remembered blow-out it is going to be, The Evening World is glad to have had the privilege of origi- nating the plans for the dinner and of doing its part to carry them through. It is still more glad to be able to bear witness to the patriotic spirit of co-operation and liberality with which New York merchants have entered in to guarantee a suré success, Hits From Sharp Wits No man who has lived around a mainly inte 0) F : family of girls ought to be partic- | State, arhalGolymbin. 0) ularly shocked by anything ho sees | PE Ie in a picture show.—Paterson Call, A lot of y Ms | shady ffansactions are . ? 2 pulled off in this world under the ‘A man can sometimes learn a great | guise of reform,—Memphis c the disposition of | cial Appeal, Nemphie Commer uition comes high.— | . . .

This is consideration over a sufficient period that would give an assurance of how the other might think or act under given circumstances Many a person has gaid, “You never know a person unul you are married to him.” This is quite true. But too many marriages are made on such snort knowledge of each other as to make the hazard doubly dangerous, Little idiosyncrasies and short- comings that may be forgiven in a sweetheart are not so readily dis posed of when it comes to the hus- band or wife: This should be the case, but it isn't—as a general thing. For the sweetheart days are filled with hope and joy and love and sentiment. These later give way somewhat to comradeship; and this companionship can only continue happily when there are common pleasures, common interests, While each must be wiling for the other to retain some little personal likes or dislikes, in the main, the marglage combination requires’ the greatest of teats of partnerships Unies there is a firm foundation of common course of thought and action the conjugal craft becomes battered and broken on the sea of differences.

Arriving at th Stryver mansion, Mrs. Stryver re- veived them moodily. “I wish you'd go up to the library and keep Mr. Stryver company,” sald the hostess. “He's positively unbear- able since all these war income tax laws and low coal price laws.

A single woman's life 1s as empty and cold as a hotel parlor; a mar- ried woman's life 1s as full as a scrap basket—and just about as thrilling. Never try to insult your husband by calling him “a big, overgrown baby.” ‘That's exactly what he wants you to think him—and to treat him like around the house, Suspicions are like dried apples; once they get inside your system they swell and swell until there isn’t room for love or anything else.

Mrs. Stryver looked at the lace tn question and frowned. “Don't speak to me about that lace!" she cried. “It cost me $2,000, but every time I look at it I feel like taking the scissors and snipping it to bit “Why?” asked Mrs, Jarr in sur- priae. “Why? reneated her hostess. “Don't you see it is out of style? That !s, It is not old enough to be In style even if it !s out of style, I got it in Brussels when we were abroad before the war, and I saw some laces being made for a Russian Duke, and they wouldn't duplicate the Duke's patterns for me—and, mind you, they weren't for his lawful, legal wife. They were for some dreadful Paris actress, and I could see the dealer smile at me when I suggested that he was encouraging immorality by not selling it to me instead of the Grand Duke, I had to take this mantle, and f am glad the Russian people have risen in revolt against all those pro/ll- gate noblemen,’ “I should think you'd be happy to possess this lace," said Mrs, Jarr, “It's tery beautiful and there is no scandal connected with it.” “The price 1 paid for it, all things considered, Was 4 scandal!” declared the other lady, “For, coming back on the ship there were three other jJadies and myself who were sewing the lace we bought inside old dresses By Roy |Stryver wouldn't offer to give tt to ri M cCardell | could pass the custom house and not have to pay duty on ft.

So please don't discuss poverty; It spoils my day!" “It spoils the day for many ‘people, not discussing, but enduring it,” suge gested Mrs. Jarr. “Shall we call Mn Jarr and Mr, Stryver down and ask them if they will have some tea?* “Call your husband, if you wish, but let Mr. Stryver stay in the library; he gets on my nerves!” re. torted Mrs. Stryver, “If he must air his ogreish humors, why doesn't be do it at his club? Does your husband annoy you by wanting to be home all * his spare time? I think such a thing is bourgeoise, positively bourgeoise, don't you?"
