Japan is the power that caw] contribute most to its success. For months the darkest cloud on the far horizon has been the! opening of vast Jtussian territories to German exploitation and the fear that, whatever happens in the west, Germany may be able to fall back upon new and formidable resources of strength in her damina- tion of the Kast. | Russia is the great danger area which loudly calls for Allied ) § Section while there is yet time | : The best guarantee the world could furnish for the interests of Russia itself is the fuct that the United States has the final word} is to intervention.

Ros so far available indicate that the German Voreign Af ! I ) i ; : Secretary went before the Reichstag on Monday with speech carefully planned to leave the words “peace proposal” again reverberating hopefully in the air and at the same time to con- ceal all signs of misgiving in the camps of militarism, Gerinany, ‘aecording to Dr. von Kuchimann, disclaims a desire for world domination, but nevertheless insists she must have “over- seas possessions corresponding to her greatness and wealth.” The} phrase is vague enough to pass for moderate and at the same time} satisfy the boldest instincts of German ambition, Refusal of prior concession as to Belgium is so worded as to leave the implicationgess defiant by suggesting that Germany is ready; to bind herself when the Allied Nations do likewise. She does not | flatly decline to admit the justice of the paramount Allied demand |} for the restoration of Belgium. \ 4 The guilt of Russia in having “planned and desired the war,” it becomes clear from Dr. von Kuehlmann’s speech, is to be painted, henceforth extra dark. Germany, of course, acts only the parb of ‘Stern but upright judge in biting as deep as may be itito the disrupted empire. The most significant part of the speech is that which’ declares \ that the end of the war “can hardly be expected through purely mili- j tary decisions alone and without recourse to diplomatic negotiations.” ia There Germany betrays again the desire to draw up to the round! * table and settle her status by diplomacy before her military machine] * goes back on her and reveals the breaks and smashings it has euf- ~ fered. | There again grows the certainty that it will be the Allies who will, ‘win through to victory by the sword and in the field, while Germany,| who began with the sword and boasted her power to conquer by the, sword, turns to statecraft to save what she can from defeat and ruin.! , ee a a } “NON-ESSENTIAL EXPERIMENTING.” | Ciicrien HURLEY of the National Shipping Board applies to clamp absolute prohibition upon the Nation at a moment when its thought and energy is concentrated upon the biggest job it! ever undertook. | : Declaring before the Senate Committee on Agriculture his strong i disapproval of any attempt to regulate the personal habits of hard- working men who are giving the best that is in them to saebeuic | day by day and hour by hour the output of American shipyards, | Chairman Hurley said: ; { We've got to put all the smash and drive we've got into ‘ | iw | ; ' | ' { ; this war.

HE two greatest women writers of all times took the pen name of George—George Eliot and George Sand, was the greatest wom- an writer that ever lived, and per- haps the greatest novelist of all |France. At first she met with noth- ing but discouragements, but after the publication of her first novel, she awoke to find herself famous, and after this ber life was one series of literary triumphs. George Eliot was the pen name of Marian Evans, and the author of | many great novels. Other Georges who have been great | writers are George Bancroft, the his- torian; George Meredith, who wrote jana of the Crossways;" George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright; | George Ohmet, the French writer; George Seibel, the American, who | wrote “The Leper;" George Brandes, | the Danish writer; George Laboucher, | the French journalist; George Byron, | the English poet; George Crabbe, the | English writer; George Hegel, the | German philosopher; George Moore, | the Irish novelist and critic, and |George Du Maurier, the English Frenchman, who wrote ‘Trilby” and | “peter Tbbetson,”" two of the most | charming books in the whole world, | Among the painters we have |George Innes, one of the first: Ameri- can painters, and George de Forest | Brush, George Fuller, George Rom- |ney and George Watts. George |Cruikshank must not be forgotten, for he made the delightful filustra- |tions to many of Dickens's books, Who Is Your Namesake?

Then there is George Cohan, the actor, One of the most unique and inter- esting of all Georges ts George Brum- mel, known as “Beau Brummel,” the most famous dandy of all times. George entered life with a fortune of $150,000, a great taste for clothes, fashionable manners, a delicate vein of ratire, and a spirit of affectation blended» with humor. His clothes be- came the topic of the hour, Princes would attend his morning dressing to see how it was done, and a nobleman would think bimself honored by hav- ing Brummel’s arm in a stroll down St. James Street. His dress wa said to be so elegant that it was ndt con- spicuous at all. Duchesses would tremble at Brummel’s decision on their dresses, and his opinion stamped them as fashionable or not. Brummel and the Crown Prince, also a George, had been good friends but they had a quarrel, Later Brum- mel was at a party with a friend when the prince passed, and the} prince and Brummel's friend bowed to each other, Brummel turned to his! companion and said in a voice loud enough for the prince to hear, “Who \s your fat friend?” Brummel died in France in extreme poverty.

Thomas B. Gregory Copyright, 1918, by The Preas Publishing Co, (Tho New York Brening World), S a sincere lovgs of my country, I ardently hope that no permanently evil results may come of the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the Child Labor Laws. In most of the States of the Union laws had been passed against the employment In stores, shops, factories, mills, mines and elsewhere of buys and girls under a certain age and against their working in any place beyoud certain hours, These laws, or at least certain vital parts of them, have. I believe, been declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and many who have carefully studied the subject are greatly alarmed for tie consequences of the decision, What would you say of the farmer wio should use up all his corn, leaving not so much as a grain for seed out of which to raise another crop? You would say that le was a fool And if the corn in his barn was literally all that there was on earit, and be should thus recklessly consume it, you would say not only that he f Was a fool, but that he was, in addition, a very great criminal. Now it Is an undisputed fact that the Ainerican people are rapidly using up the nation’s seed corn in sacrificing its children to the Child Labor Moloch. In the aforesaid stores, shops, mills, factorics and mines the young People who are to constitute the nation of the future are being destroyed physically, mentally and morally by the heartless Moloch whose coustant ery ts “Children, more children!” sd oa ‘The boys and girls of to-day who are to be the men and women of to ~ morrow, and who by their brawn, brain aud virtues are to continue the nation, if it is continued at all, are having their blood thinned, their eye sight dimmed, their nervous systems distracted, their minds dwarfed and their moral character perverted iby the unnatural environment in which they find themselves. 1 do not hesitate to say that no more sacred or solemn duty ever rested « upon any organization than that which falls upon the National Child Labor Committee, What it has already achieved has endeared it to every patriotic * American and to every lover of humanity on earth, and It is to be devoutly ‘ hoped that if the Supreme Court has inadvertently handicapped the work of the committee it will at its earliest opportunity reconsider its action, Every one of us who believes that our great America stands for some‘ thing more than money and material progress—and at this particular time there are millions who hold that noble belief—should do what he can toward arousing the legislators, State and natiowal, to a seuse of the enormity, the monstrousness of the system against which the National Child Labor Committee fs fighting. ‘ It is a standing shame and disgrace that pleas like this should pe necessary. There should be no occasion for such pleas. Unfortunately, however, the occasion exists, and it should be met: courageously and with determination, even as we are meeting the cohorts! ‘ of the Prussian tyranny. ‘And, by the way, what good will it do us to beat down the Kalser jf we are going to permit our own country to be destroyed by the demons of selfishness and greed, who are trying hard to turn the seed corn of the nation into dollars and cents, to get rich to-day and let the nation perish to-morrow? ‘The present generation 1s passing out, and we are doing all we can te i make the rising generation unfit to carry on the work that we must sodm lay down. ‘ ‘ lf we permit the’big and little “capiains of industry” to keep on \ " making weaklings out of the only part of the population that the nation and its institutions can look to for ‘lel continuation and perpetuation, what does it spell but national suicide? q Every member of every State Lesislature should keep close to hts s heart of hearts the one supreme important question: How can I help to save the children of the State from t ulin that threatens them in the shape of child labor? How can I becom instrumental in stopping this cacrificing of our children to Moloch? ‘And every Congressman should ask himself the same question—how he can block the system, which, if not blocked—and blocked completely and forever—will sooner or later render our children incapable of handling the priceless boon of American citizenship. .

For some reason there was no rehearsal and I didn’t know what to do with myself. At first I thought I'd make a real Parisian gown out of an old dress I had in my wardrobe and then I decided -kuggnaterial wouldn't stand it, 90 I took a walk.
