N DECIDING Hudson Tunnel fares shall not, after all; be subject fo a sudden increase that would have put extra and unfair burdens upon thousands of wage earners who must use the Hudson Tunne} lines between their homes and their work, Federal authority sets a timely example for itself, 4 Americans in this and in all sections of the country are ready to take on with patience and patriotism the loads which war may lay upon them. If, for instance, in order to bring the railroads to their highest efficiency under Government control, it is necessary not only to give them billions of dollars for repairs, improvements and higher wago scales, but also at the same time to raise freight rates and passenger fares to a degree that means serious hardship for millions of Amer- icans diligently toiling to keep up the Nation’s industry and business —those Americans will cheerfully make the best of it. But, on the other hand, these millions of hard working Americans) can rightly demand something of Federal authority: They can demand that crushing sacrifice shall not. be {mposed upon some industries for the sake of others by administrators and administrative boards who think only in mounting billions of dollars, careless of how and from whom those dollars must individually and ultimately be taken. They can demand that Federal power Il not make gandom and reckless readjustments of the Nation’s industrial machinery merely on the plea that such readjustments offer the most obvious rough and ready means to ends immediately in view. They can demand that war shall not be made an excuse for setting aside reason and economic foresight in favor of expediency, extravagance and a precipitate stripping of Peter in order to ari Paul. Nothing, in fact, is of more vital impartance to Paul then that Poter shall be left in the’ best possible shape to go on working and pay the bills. Thomas A, Edison is ¢ icized in cert in quarters for saying that “no legitimate industry is non-essential except as it interferes with the conduct of the wir, and then only to the extent it inter- feres.” That is a far safer proposition as regards tho lasting welfare of the country than the theory that any industry is bound to be revog- sized as non-essential the moment it is blue-pencilled off the list by gentlemen summoned from various pursuits to Washington and there! invested with powers unprecedented in the Nation’s history. Tet us hope there is going to be something of the Republie luft after the war beside an Army, a Navy and a group of gigantic War Industries, : ‘ | Copyright, 1018, by The H'reas Publishing Co, (The Now York Evening World ) Nor can the war itself be backed to victory by workers who feel! n@ertainty of the future save the certainty that they will be ex pected | w go on buying Liberty Bonds, } When it comes to Federal expenditure, the country is equally entitled to something more than big talk and big figures, | The Guaranty Trust Company of New York doubts whether. the Government can spend in a year the $24,000,000,000 which Secretary McAdoo estimates as the amount to be raised during the year ending June 30, 1919, | Surely a little open figuring in this ¢ ‘onnection is not too mush to expect from Mr. McAdoo. | Indeed, in openness and the same kind of sober second thought that rescinded the order raising Hudson Tunnel fares, lies the onl hope of Fe¢ vdisand Jeral authority for winning public confidence and recon ciling the American spirit to a centralization of power from which it still instinctively holds back, ae Pa Re me Marching to Berlin. | Hits From Sharp Wits (air “Marching Throwsh Georgia,” | larching Throw Georgie, ") |,, No shower has ever fallen but that | NFURL the starry Yanner boys|it brought the nd heed our country's call, | 4M ‘hour of golden. mun to ‘help a We want our boys to join the| *'™S#le through.—Baltimere Sun. ranks, we want them short or tall, | a 8 8 NY man who marries an up-to-date girl acquires enough of a x harem to make him pity the Oriental who deliberately adopts polygamy, One of the silent grievances that nearly every woman carries with her to the grave is the memory of the disappointing way in which her-husband pro- posed to her, Marriage is a life-apprenticeship in the art of learning to do without most of the things you expected and getting used to @ lot of things that you didn’t expect. eating the last scrap, regardiess of consequences, ; Probably argues that while a spoiled digestion can be cured there is nothing you can do with spoiled food.

HE was FELICH SCHMIDT, young and beautiful, and one of the craftiest spies of the Wilhelmstrasse, Be cause of her charm and because of her uncanny clevei ness she was sent to England soon after the present war began. Her object in Great Britain, of course, was to gaia ( all the military and political information possible for No. 31. the Kaiser. But the chief aim of her mission was (@- enthral Lord Kitchener. Felice was bidden by her masters to lay slegé ‘ Kitchener's heart and to lure him into telling vital Y secrets of England's war plans. Kitchener was the " real head of Great Britain's armies, If Felice cout | ‘but enslave him it would mean everything to Germany The Wilhelmstrasse relied on her strange powers of allurement, which had so often wrecked the hearts of lesser men. The! Germans_belleved—and Felice belleved—that this power would also briag the gallant Lord Kitchener to her fect. Felice Bit bn a shrewd, if old, trick for making her entrance into Eng- land. She became an ardent British enthusiast and took no pains to hide her sympathy with the Allies, In public, more than once, she made tes clear to every one, And she managed to give the impression that she was in private correspondence wifh England. She even, {t is said, smuggled scraps of German information through the lines to the British authorities, Now any German who did that sort of thing in good faith would have been shot as a traitor, But Felice was acting directly under the Wilhelmstrasse’s orders in she did. So she was not shot; or even impr! Instead, the German authorities declared her @, “suspicious character” and decreed that she beg “‘ banished at once from the latherland. biel * With a grea* show of flerceness, the German police escorted her, in @la- Krace, across the frontier, and forbade her, under penalty of death, to come, back. , Posing as a martyr to her love for the Allies, she crossed to England And established herself in London. There many young officers and diplo-, mats were attracted to her. She used them, one and all, for her own énds; and dt last succeeded in doing what she had come to England to Ce Nathely, to secure an introduction to Lord Kitchener. Felice was prepared to lavish all her most captivating wiles on him Her campaign was carefully and flawlessly laid out. And she advanced gayly to the task of charming this war-lord of Great Britain, - She raised her tig blue eyes with coquettish timidity and looked at the hero whom she had travelled so far to meet. And, as she looked, her alt= castle plans of blandishment crumbled to nothingness. She saw before her a man of tron and tce; gigantic of form, granite of tion to British. —mo rrr ie Gives Informa- i web of sorcery and to pierce to her worthless soul, laying bare al! ite black secrets. Felice knew this man could no more be tempted or softened by a mere: woman's wiles than could a mountain peak. Her intuition told her how absurd was the plot she had formed. She knew man nature. And that et’ | With a sob, she fled in stark terror frem . | ® Kitchener's presence. And never again did she try Spy Ri Folly} to mect him. That single scene ended Felice’ of Her Plans, Cee Schmidt's mission in England. She vanished. Soon afterward she appeared at Marseilles, in the guise of a fruit seller, She spoke the odd Southern French accent to perfection. And no one suspected she was any- thing but a pretty peasant girl of the Midi, Soldiers and officers chatted freely in her presence. to go where she would, with her tray of frult—t the outer fortifications of the city, But, again, luck was against Feltce Schmidt. The Marseilles pollee found her, one day, hiding in a fort embrasure, and making a very scl tifie sketch of one of France's new big guns. ‘ * She was tried as a spy and was put to death, Ellabelle Mae Doolitilaae By Bide Dudley Copyright, 1918, by The Prose Publishing Co She was allowed © barrack doors and through * ‘The New York Evening World.)
