Gregory Coprrigiit, 1018, by The Prem Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World.) IKE tho “flaming sword” of the angel that guarded the “Troe of Lif the revelations of the Great War flash forth in all directions, Tn the lurid light of tho terrible affair we see things of which we Hever dreamed, and as the fearful drama has, scene by scone and act by fot, unfolded itself, we have seen our theories wither, crumple up and dis- *ppear like #0 many dry autumn leaves cast into # roaring furnace, The famous “bull in the china shop” dida’t begin to play the havoc @mong the pretty things around him that the war bas wrought among our beautiful theories of man and the world. And the pity of it all is, the finest of these now defunct theortes were reached at a comparatively recent stage in the evolution of human thought @nd at a very great cost to us in mental labor and suffering. Take, for instance, that horrid old nightmare of @ doctrine known in theological parlance as “total depravity.” We had about reached the point where we were ready to wave that old, hair-raising dogma a final adieu, when, lo and behold! up it comes again, laughing at us with the unanewer- @b) told you so.” , Unanewerable? Yes, unanswerable. Germany, as she stands before us edvered with blood and crime and slime, is a fact that admits of no argu-{ ment. There she stands in all her unspeakable degradation, defying us to wonceive of a deeper descent into the abyss of infamy. Close akin to the ancient doctrine of “total depravity” was that known £5 “diadolism,” or “devil possession.” We had begun flattering ourselves were mistaken. The indisputable fact is that the Germans have all the devils and fiends ‘of all the hells literally “skinned.” They are not in it with the Kaiser and ils Germans when it comes to what we have been accustomed to call “neni. | idiness”—-the deeds that smack of heartlessness, of frightfulness, of cold- Dlooded, malice aforethought fiendishness. Tt {s not at all pleasant to be obliged to take off our hats and bow our Apologies to the devil and his imps, but from now on that !s what we witt| have to do. There are devils and dovils, but the real devils are not those| | who live in hell. But it is high time that we had turned the wiew. Before the world war burst upon us we had about committed ourselves to the belief that the “brave days of old” possessed a monoply of the things picture for a more cheerful ‘hero began to set in a sort of decline in the above mentioned virtues, It Is now being demonstrated that the belief was false. Chivalry? The ‘world never dreamed of such chivalry as is being put {nto actual Practice | { right now; and as for valor—we are witnessing sttch valor to-day as the ‘World’ never saw in the aforesaid “brave days of old.” When the Germans, after their half century's preparation, surprised Europe with their “frightfulness,” their flame darters, their poison gases, their “Big Bertaas” and all the other infernal things, the men of | France and Great Britain, and, later on, the men of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, did not get scared and run away, but stood thetr Sround and endured the punishment with a grim courage and steadfast valor such as battlefeld never witnessed before.

It is @ natural process, and a healthy baby survives it without sert- ous trouble. Symptoms so often at- tributed to teething are due to vari- ous causes and require attention. Braham Is Summ oned to Audience Before the Strangest Man ; Indigestion caused by improper feed- ing 1s one of them. Then, too, if baby | cuts teeth tn the summer the heat may cause disturbances that mother forthwks attributes to dentition. While teething a healthy child may be restless and fretful; fever may be present, there may be a loss of appe- tite and vomiting may even occur, but these disturbances will last only three or four days, Because the baby is not gaining in weight is no Pause for alarm. A teething infant ,May remain stationary in weight for twe or three weeks, The first symp- toms of teething are the desire to bite on something hard and the gums become red and swollen, Give the child @ rubber or bone ring to bite upon, Occasionally rub the gums ‘with cool water; a few drops of vinegar added to the water will give relief. If severely inflamed, it 1s best to consult a physician, Lancing may be necessary. Do not give medi- olne except by advice of physician. Give the child more water to drink and do not force him to eat, Rather reduce the food, both in quantity and * h, The appetite will return with the coming of the teeth, set rule can be given for the appearance of teeth. A child suffer- fng with rickets will cut teeth very late, A serious illness may delay the appearance of the teeth, In delicate infants and dottle-fed babics den- tition Is often tarded.

It mu be necessary to treat the difficulty through the diet. Physicians recommend orange julce for delayed dentition, and as this is excellent for ba over 6x months old !t is worth trying. ‘An anxious mother asks how she can tell when her child has all his first teeth and in what rotation they come. There are twenty teeth in the first set. The first to appear are the two lower centre teeth, and these come anywhere from five to nine months, The two upper centrals fol- Jow svon after—-usually between the eighth and twelfth month. Then come the other two single teeth and the four front double teeth. These come from the twelfth to the eigh- teenth month and then there is a long interim. The canine teeth, the two upper being commonly known as the eye teeth, and the two lower as the stomach tecth, may appear as early as the eighteenth month, but should be there when the child at- tains its second birthday, Shortly afterward come the four back double eeth.

A minute later, the aide was back again and beckoned Jim to follow, Along the stone-flagred passage they went, the ecntinel bringing up the rear, The aide paused at a green baize door, and knocked. At the sound of a gruff answer from within, he swung open the door, shoved Jim into a brilliantly lighted room, stepped back into the passage and shut the door behind him, From the dimness of the corridor to the Dlaze of light in the room into which Jim had deen thrust, the contrast was eo sharp that Braham stood for an instant blinking dazedly and try- ing to accustom his eyes to the white glare of fifty electric lamps, He saw he was in @ room that had evidently been in happier times as a mayor's office, At a desk in front of him sat a man busily poring over @ roll of maps, There was no one else visible, Jim looked down, with no great interest, at the man seated at the desk. ‘The man, however, took no heed of the visitor's presence for several seconds, nor did he raise his heed from the scanning of the m Jim had no desire to begin the terview.

Under the bulging light-blue eyes were baggy pouches, The coarsely flabby mouth was half hidden under & bristly and sweeping mustache, such as the Kaiser and Hindenburg have made fashionable among their military admirers in Germany. About the fiercely upraived face there was something indefinably familiar to Braham, He had a vague feeling of having seen this pompous and allow- faced old fellow before somewhere. ‘Then his gaze chanced to shift from the man’s face and irregular shoul- ders to his left arm, And he gave o galvanic start. In spite of padded sleeve and of long-cuffed gauntlet It was evident that the arm was witheredly mis- shapen and was no larger than a child's, Then Jim understood. And he knew why the man's face had seemed #o fainiliar to him, Braham had never seen him before, But @ thousand times he had seen his pie- tures, ‘Those pictures had always represented him as stalwart and regal in bearing, statuesque and fierecly dominant of look and pose. They were the pictures of a large and finely made man with the aspect of a demt- god, No wonder Jim had at first fatled to recognize this wizened and undersized and flaWby personage as the original of those grossly fiatter- ing portraits, Braham was aware of y.
