ECRETARY BAKER'S review of what hus been accomplished by the War Department ing this peace-loving Rey fight for democracy has done more th Congress. The record of achievement as set O. 20,016 in less than ten mouths toward arm the front firing line in the still the fault-finders ip forth by the Secretary of War in his four-hour reply to tle critics of lis department before the} Senate Committee on Military Affairs has made a profound impres:| sion upon the entire country. In the past two days Americans in all parte of the United | States have read Secretary Baker's testimony and given it to their children to read as an historic and inspiring statement of how an| army, greater than any the nation ever hud or dreamed of having.! has already been made a reality—1,500,000 strong—equipped and} ready to fight with the Allies overseas. These great facts, which they now for the first time hear author- itatively stated, are certain to do the American people an immense amount of good. In fact one of the gravest errors of the War Department has been in withholding information of this sort, which, while it could bring the nation’s enemies no possible aid or comfort, would have greatly stimulated American courage and zeal in going about the un- accustomed tasks of war, To want to know is a primal American instinct. that can’t be suppressed even for war purposes, To conceal from the American people matters of vital inter to them, unless such matters can be shown afterward to have been, military secrets that obviously could not have been revealed without | iisk, is to invite doubt, criticism and even positive distrust. This is not a private war. It is not a war which any party, class or administrative circle is conducting on its own initiative or for its own ends. ° Tt is an instinct This is war waged by one hundred million people. tehind its purpose. They bear its burdens and its sacrifi They pay the staggering bills that represent its cost. Why shouldn't they demand to know, at each and every stage, much about its conduct as cay safely be made public? Ut may have been possible for a militaristic Prussian dynasty to hypnotize the greater part of 60,000,000 people jnto submissive, un- questioning acceptance of its own God-given genius for directing war from behind an iron curtain—-asking nothing of the country but the last drop of its blood, the last copper from its purse, the last tribute of its trust and admiration, | The United States is not Prussia, There are no iron curtains | here nor war lords in council behind them They stand The participation of the whole American people in this war, their unfailing alertness, interest and zeal stimulating their leaders to ever-increasing effext and efficiency, is the special strength} democracy can bring to the job it has taken on The effective participation of the American people depends to} no small extent upon their being constantly and fully informed of The ‘Jar By Roy L. * Sunday's | Intimate Talks | Lett Pleas She Liked By Bide Dudley ne New York Eve ers From the People Righter: word 4 although da no Drama Section of they “1 J no |r u hat Wome 1 can look ata en De sutiful—Just one limit communications to sobel.” 150 words Paehip i Family McCardell Toe New York Eveuing Work) after he made them a law was passed that them, so American officers this feller somebody uldn't wear the American officers » Sam Brown niforms, | coming to a full stop.)

For Instance, Women are so sensitive and full of tender spute in their vanity, ro in bis make-up—— ial Not even bis bald spot! rates / Good heavens! er are Just think of the things we say to a MAN—that be, wouldn't DARE say to a woman! » Who ever hesitates to reaiind a man that be is growing FAT, Or that he is getting thin, or looking seedy, or turning gray ever ears? But CAN you fancy greeting a woman with the cheerful exclamation, “Why, what on earth have you been dolng to yourself, old dear? ~ “You're getting jowls—and a bay window! Better cut out the sugar and potatoes, for your Country's sake!” Would she EVER speak to you again? And What married woman ever refrained from telling her husbaad that he needed a shave or a haircut, Or that bis clothes didn’t fit, or that he was getting round-shouldered, or losing his top-hair, or ought to start banting, or that he “USED te be handsome?” - But just let Him suggest, ever so mildly, that her nose is shiny, or that her walstline seems to be increasing, and—— Vhee-ew! And when he comes down dressed for a dinner party, Does she stand as one etruck with admiration and exclaim, “How stunning you look, my dea: She does not! She turns him around, critically, begius picking specks off his coat, Remarks that his tle {s crooked or his collar too low, And inquires why he can never make his top hair lle flat and keep is shirt front from bulging! And ho TAKES {t—like a lamb! She never hesitates to remind him of the handsome men she MIGHT have married, Or to point out a “distinguished looking man” in @ restaurant, But let him, ever so meekly, remark that So-and-1o is a “pretty girl," And he'd better put on hls gas mask and lle down flat Ja the trenches, Until the barrage fire is over! Perbaps it's because he’s USED to being reminded of his physical defects, And to being called “Skinny” or “Fatty” or “Carrots” from boyhood, While every woman bas thought of herself as a coming Madame Recamier or a second Ninon de L’Enclos, Since she was tall enough to look ia the mirror. Or perhaps it’s because nothing can shake a man’s Dellef in bis fatal fascination, Or persuade him that a little thing like embonpoint or @ bald spot tould mar his deadly charm, Or perhaps it’s just the difference between feminine vanity And masculine conceit, Or perhaps it's just laziness and {ndifference, Or perhaps—PERIIAPS it's beautiful masculine MODESTY!
