Only One Road to Peace —America Must Go on With War Until It Is Won

notify the German merchant jihipe in American ports to destroy their machinery, because he expected that the renewal of that method of warfare would, in all probability, bring the United States into the war. J •, How well the ambassador knew the character of his government and how perfectly frank he was. He asked for the information without apology or indirection. The very bluntness of his message shows he was sure his superiors would not take offense at the assumption that their word was valueless and had only been given to gain time and that, when an increase of Germany’s submarine fleet warranted, the promise would be broken without hesitation or compunction. In view of this spirit of hypocrisy and bad faith, manifesting an entire lack of conscience, we ought not to be astonished that the Berlin foreign office never permitted a promise or a, treaty agreement to stand in the way of a course of action which the German government deemed expedient. I need not cite as proof of this fact the flagrant violation of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk. • This discreditable characteristic of German foreign policy was accepted by German diplomats as a„ matter of course and as a natural, if not a praiseworthy dealing with other governments. - We must go on with the war. There is no other way. This task must not be left half done. We must not transmit to posterity a legacy of blood and misery. We may in this great conflict go down into the valley of shadows because our foe is powerful and inured to war. We must be prepared to meet disappointment and temporary reverse, but we must, with American spirit, rise above them;*with courageous hearts we must go forward until this war is won. - . ,

Eating Dessert First Would Be Direct Step Towards Malnutrition

-A scientist has advanced the theory that dessert eaten before instead of after the meal will diminish the desire for food. This probably is true, but would it ultimately be conservation? Would it not be«a direct step toward malnutrition ? A person may eat sweets and ‘‘spoil his dinner,” as it is said, but a few hours after dinner he will be haunting a pantry. The sweets possibly will allay hunger, but they surely will not lessen it • We do not eat primarily to satisfy hunger. We eat to provide our bodies with material to build up the tissues broken down in the course of our daily actions. To build up muscles one must have a definite amount of protein and he cannot continue without it. It is known sweets and sugar,’while very necessary along with the other food, contain practically no protein. . To follow the plan the scientist proposes would be deceiving ourselves into believing we do not need food. The inevitable result would be we would awake a few hours later to the fact that “someone had been deceiving us 4 ” X,.-'

Americans Called Upon to Serve Their Country by Saving Pennies

A war savings campaign has been organized on a wide scale. The attention of every American of any age is called to the privilege, the duty, the necessity of’serving themselves and the country by saving the pennies" as we must save# crumbs —enough pennies equal a valuable War Savings stamp or a Liberty bond, as enough crumbs equal in food value a loaf of bread. ' > ' . We buy too freely; we eat too much; we serve too'large portions; we indulge our appetites and habits beyond good sense and good health; we sweep the crumbs into'the fire; we burn “rubbish” that should be suel — there’s no end of our waste, and few of us wish to or can dfeny it. Let us not only begin the every-day and every-hour practice of saving in food and drink and fuel and clothing and of putting the saving into Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps, but let us take our own personal lives in hand and be cleaner, wiser, healthier, better citizens for having discarded habits of waste and adopted saving all along the line.

Make Sacrifice for Education to Aid in Reconstruction After the War

By B. F. COEN.

If thousands of parents must give up sons to make the world safe so ' democracy, shall not other thousands of parents give up sons and daugh ters to the high schools and colleges of the country, to prepare to do i great service during the remainder of the war and during the reconstruc tion period after the war? Never in the world’s-history have parents hat a greater opportunity to aid. in the world’s betterment. Of course with your son or daughter kept from school or college, ant thereby missing the opportunity for greater service, it would not mak< any great difference, but with thousands of parents deciding as you decide with the same reasons, we might lose all that we are fighting for. Many parents this fall will make unusual sacrifices in order to sent their rem and daughters to high school and college, but there will be grea joy in the sacrifices. " „

Representative Hats for Young Girls

There is a greater difference this fall between the hats designed for grown-ups and* those intended for the young miss than has been evident for several seasons. It is because shapes for women are more subtle in lines than they have been. Fashion decrees simple trimmings and compels restrictions in the amount of handwork on millinery, therefore interest is obliged to center In shapes, and they are beautiful and unusual. But youth cannot follow the devious ways of today’s brims and_crowns in its millinery; even In the matter of the hats, shapes for misses must be frankly simple. Above there are grouped four hats, for girls from twelve to eighteen years old, that Include four representative shapes, and each hat differs in every way from all the others. -At the top there Is a quaint poke-bonnet affair, plainly covered with velvet and very demurely trimmed with a band of grosgrain ribbon and a bow at the back. The bow is small yrlth an upstanding loop against the crown andL two short ends on the brim. The designer might have stopped here if she chose to go to the limit of simplicity In trimming, but shb had not the courage to sacrifice the pretty effect of a bow and sash ends that fall from the'underbrim. They make just the finish needed for the girl from twelve to sixteen. . 'A hat for younger girls is shown at the right. It has a round crown and

Not th£i br’er rabbit has been allowed to go his way undisturbed, but his pelt is called by other names than his own and masquerades in colors and markings unknown to the rabbit species. It Is called by the name of the fur it imitates, with a qualifying adjective prefixed—and makes satisfactory eoats and coat trimmings .for children and young girls—as well as a great variety of fur sets for them. A pretty coat of tan broadcloth, for a girl of ten or so. is shown In the picture. It Is made with a wide panel at the front and back set to side bodies that are tucked in three wide tucks above the hem. It has acollar and cuffs of the broadcloth banded with

a narrow drooping brim and is entirely covered with narrow ribbon put oh row after row. It is finished with a band of velvet ribbon tied in a bow at the'back with®two loops and two en<!s and is made in several colors and color combinations. Girls in their teens will like best of all the hat at the left. It has a wide and droopy brttn, falling into pretty curves at the edge and faced with crepe georgette. Plaited satin ribbon lies over the upper brim and the same ribbon is draped over the crown. A wired bow of narrow velvet ribbon, that finishes this lovely hat, convinces us that as long as milliners have ribbons they need nothing else for the young girl’s hat. At the bottom of the group is a hat to make glad the heart of the debutante. Its crown and brim are covered with ribbon and It is faced with velvet. There is a band of velvet ribbon about the crown slipped through two rings of jet or something that resembles it, giving the hat a grown-up %ir. But the brim is of uniform width all around and the plaited ribbon is a girlish garniture —two things that distinguish it from hats for young women.

squirrel and Is long enough, like all children’s coats, to cover the dress entirely. This Is a dressy little coat, not of the sturdy sorts that are used for everyday wear. But it is a model which may be copied in darker and heavier cloths and has lines that help out the slim figures of fast growing little girls who have arrived at the angular stage which we call the awkward age.

Besides broadcloth there are the neW pile fabrics somewhat heavier than panne velvet but resembling it, which are used for small girls* coats. They are to be worn when the little miss is much dressed up and are chosen oftener for tiny girls than for those who have left babyhood far behind them on their little journey In the world. For older broadcloth and other coatings are better.

VERY LIKE MOST MOTHERS

Mrs. Ripple at First Could Bee Very Little In Girl Her Son Had Chosen for Wife.

Tears ago, when the Billows were trying to keep Dora from marrying Nathaniel Ripple, Mrs. Ripple was trying to keep Nathaniel from marrying Dora. The Billows didn’t think much of the Ripple family; Claude Callan writes in Kansas City Star. In fact, they told Dora that if she took Nathaniel she would be marrying beneath hepself. Mrs. Ripple didn’t know that the Billows considered themselves better thap the Ripples, so she was not angry at the family. And she liked Dora. “I think Dora is a good, sweet girl," she said to her son, “but anybody can look at her and tell she isn’t able to do a day's work. “You can-do as you please, but if I were you I never would marry a delicate girl like Dora. I know how much work a woman has to do in a home and I know that Dora Billow can’t do it If yen. were able to hire help It would be all right. Your poor old mother never has had ary help, but I would be glad for my sons’ wives to keep help If my sons could afford it “Now, as I said, I haven’t a word to say against Dora, but if I were you and wanted to marry I would find a girl strong enough to make a good wife. It is nice to be pretty. Your papa will tell you that I was pretty when T married him, but beauty counts for very little if a woman is too weak to do her work. “Just look at your Cousin Henry’s wife. She is sick half the time, hnd that , poor boy has to spend every dollar tie makes. If Nora had been a big, strong woman, who could have helped he would be well fixed today.” After listening to this talk Nathaniel married Dora and in about a month his -mother visited them. When she returned home she said to Mr. Ripple: “I think Nathaniel married mighty well. That little girl had all the clothes on the line when I got there, and they were as pretty and white as you ever saw— I said from the very beginning that Dora would make Nathaniel a good wife.”

The German Way.

I remember one day having passed through a small fanning village very badly burned and shattered, not by shells, but by explosions from Inside the houses. I was just about to ask my officer why so punished, when, as we came outside, my attention was attracted to a conspicuous little flat-topped hill, with its level summit quite clear of the low woods that covered the hill’s sides. The top had been cleared and smoothed so that it could be planted In grain, and it stood out a vivid and beautiful green, in contrast with the dark treecovered slopes. I spoke of the hill and its conspicuous top to my officer. “Yes,” he replied angrily, “the last French spy to be landed from an airplane was put down right here on that flat top. We could not catch him. We think he hid In this village.” My unuttered question about the village was already answered.—-Vernon Kellogg In Atlantic.

One Woman’s Work.

Great was the excitement In ft certain small town. The local ladles decided to hold fin exhibition of woman’s worlpwith a view'to providing a treat for'Wounded soldiers. While the committee was busily engaged in arranging the exhibits to the best advantage in the city hall there came a timid knock at the door. When the door was opened a strange-looking object entered. It was a man; his face a mass of his hair stood ont around his head like tufty grass, his collar was dangling loosely behind, and his clothes were little better than rags. “Please, I’ve come,” he said simply. “But —but,” stammered the lady secretary, “this is not a museum; it’s a display of specimens of woman’s work.” “That’s aH right,” he replied dejectedly; ‘Tm a specimen of woman’s work.” —Rehoboth Sunday HeraldL

Mistaken Identity.

Prof. William Howard Taft was in New York recently, and in the course of his short stay took an automobile ride along Riverside drive. At Ninetieth street a young woman, five years old, saw the big touring cAr coming swiftly down the drive. After one long look at the big person In the rear seat she jerked the nurse’s apron and screamed with delight - “Alice! Alice!” asked the nurse, excitedly, “what is it?** “Fatty Arbuckle’s growed a mustache just like papa’s!”—Argonaut.

Spirit of France.

As in the early days of 1914, French troop trains are decked with poppies and roses, with every flower of field and garden. And just as In those days, when the war was young, the poilu, after four years, rihes np to the front, blithely, lustily singing and with roses stuck in Ms cap and blouse. Germany told the world that France was “bled white.” Germany lied, and knew that she lied. The soul of France, reflected in the eyes and voices-of her fighting men, is both unvanquished and unvanqulshable.—Stars 'and Stripes, Parts.

Her Sacrifice.

Three Needs of Christian Workers

By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE

Extension Department, Moody Bibb Institute, Chicago

TEXT—Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves valiantly, and let the Lord do that which Is good in his sight.— I Chron. 19:13. , Joab, the commander in chief of David’s army, found himself between

about to fight for their people and the cities of their God. His exhortation might well be pondered by all Christians today and especially those who are more or less directly engaged in Christian work. There are| three things upon the surface of this text. I. The Need of Courage. - It is said of some regiments in human armies that they are so foolish as never to know when they are beaten. It is not foolishness that is the trouble, but a high-hearted courage which will not admit defeat or which takes a defeat and wrestles It into a victory. The Christian worker, above all others, should have such good courage. He has a Leader who is possessed of all wisdom and knowledge—a Leader who knows the secret plans of the enemy. He is aware even of the secret thoughts of the enemy. He is-never taken off his guard, or by surprise. He is fully informed of every movement. He gives promise to his people that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Her is a Leader who not only has all knowledge, but all power to use his knowledge. He is the Invincible Ohe. Sometimes a man finds himself in possession of valuable knowledge which is valueless to him because of a lacK of power. He has not the ability to use what he knows. But unto our Lord has been given all power in heaven and in earth. Be of good courage, then, no matter what odds we face, knowing there is more with us than with the enemy. The message of the saint of old is well worth remembering—“ One with God fs always a majority.” This is. still true. God who gave the victory to his people in olden days Is the same God. There is no change in our Leader. He Is the same yesterday, today and forever. Following him, the Christian Is assured of ultimate victory. It may seem as though we were hedged In by overwhelming forces and defeat is certain, but wo may have good courage as we look away from the opposing hosts to the one whom we follow; 11. The Need of Valiant Behavior. The Revised Version renders this by “play the njrfh.” It means simply to “do your best” To do one’s best is to tyehave valiantly. No matter if others may do better than we, the need is to do our best We are to “play the man” and not*be like children who become discouraged because someone else does better than they can do. We must just keep on doing our part to the best of our ability. Much wa< dependent on each man of Moab’s army behaving valiantly. Much more depends on each Christian doing his best We must “play the man” for the honor of the name of him whose we are and whom we serve. He does not expect us to weakly surrender but to stand up to the fight, behaving ourselves valiantly; we must meet his expectations. Then again, the well being of the church depends on each doing his best. The church is the body of Christ and we are all members of that body. If one member suffers, all the others suffer with it. When one member fails to behave valiantly, all the others are Injured. On the other hand, all the members are blessed each time we do our level best. Again our own personal growth in grace follows such behavior. If we would be strong in faith, ard experience the delight of the approval of our Lord, we will go forth to “play the man” in the name of our God. 111. The Need of Trust “Let the Lord do that which is good In his sight” We are not to think that results from our work shall be in accord with what we imagine they should be. He may have purposes to fulfill by our work other than we know. We are naturally eager to obtain results which are good in our own sight We may make serious mistakes, not knowing all our Leader knows, and desire results which would not be good In his sight We need to trust him fully; to believe he knows what is best; to revel in a high-heart-ed courage which grows from the certainty of final victory; to keep on doing our best and allow him to do that which Is good in his right irrespectiye of whether It is good in ours or not
