THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

War and Loyalty Elihu Root, speaking at a meeting in Chicago, arranged to prove that this municipality does not stand for the unpatriotic utterances of its mayor, interpreted the American mind in regard to the conclusions it has reached on the relation of loyalty to the war. Gradually but surely the American consciousness is voicing its' conviction that denunciation of America's entrance into the war is tantamount to a seditious utterance. Citizens of pacific and long suffering temperaments are learning that the doctrine of free speech does not mean license to denounce the government or its course. When Congress declared war, all argument on the justice and wisdom of that step stopped. To strengthen your faith in our government and to give you further reasons of why we are at war, read these sentiments in Mr. Root's speech: A nation which declares war and goes on discussing whether it ought to have declared war or not is impotent, paralyzed, imbecile, and earns the contempt of mankind and the certainty of humiliating defeat and subjection to foreign control.

The men who are speaking and writing and printing arguments against the war now, and against everything being done to carry on the war, are rendering more effective service to Germany than they ever could render in the field with arms in their hands.

Anybody who seeks by argument or otherwise to stop the execution of the order sending troops to France and Belgium is simply trying to prevent the American government from carrying on the war successfully. He is aiding the enemies of his country and if he understands what he is really doing he is a traitor at heart.

By entering this war in April the United States availed itself of the very last opportunity to defend itself against subjection to German

power before it was too late to defend itself successfully.

In all of these countries (Belgium, France, Poland, Serbia, and Roumania) women have been outraged by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, and who ever heard of a German soldier being punished for rape, or robbery, or murder? These revolting outrages upon humanity and law are not the casual incidents of war, but are the results of a settled policy of frightf ulness.

If we had stayed out of the war and Germany had won we would have had. to defend the Monroe Doctrine by force or abandon it.

This is no ordinary war. It is a conflict between the divine right of kings to govern mankind through armies and nobles and the right of the peoples of the earth who toil and endure and aspire, to govern themselves by law, in the freedom of individual manhood. It is the climax of the supreme struggle between autocracy and democracy.

Ginned Goods Safe When a census of the war efforts of Wayne county was taken a few months ago, canvassers were confronted with a deep seated belief that the Government intended to confiscate the foodstuffs which the housewives were canning for winter consumption. This erroneous notion was so firmly believed that some of the women were disgusted with the answers they received at many homes. Prompt steps were taken to eradicate the foolish and senseless prejudice that had been aroused by persons not friendly with our government and suspected of really wishing the enemy success. The Department of Agriculture has issued the following official statement: There is no truth in a widely circulated statement that the Government expects to take food supplies from any family. Both the Food Administration and the Department of Agriculture join in a statement to counteract what seems to be a deliberate propaganda to the effect that the Government intends to take from every family all canned goods put up in excess of 100 quarts. This is only one of the variations of the rumor which has been widely circulated. Another statement Is that the Government has been .urging the canning, drying, and preserving of fruits and vegetables so that they will be in a convenient form for the Government to handle and transport when it takes them away from the people. Further elaboration is that these goods are to be taken away from the American homes and shipped to England. In one instance a motorist stopped at a farmhouse to fill the radiator of his automobile. In the course of conversation he casually inquired whether the farmer's family was canning all the surplus fruits and vegetables in order to help conserve the food supply. He was informed that the farmer was not doing this because the Government intended to take all the canned goods away except a small part of it actually needed by the family itself. The authorities state emphatically that no such course has ever been contemplated by the Government. On the contrary, both the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are strongly urging housewives to can and preserve, especially at this time, all surplus fruits and vegetables in order that the households themselves may have a cheap and plentiful supply of food.

Then why so much trouble to have him killed? Either Rewa Gunga had never taken the first letter, or and this seemed more probable-r-Yasmini had never believed the letter would be treated seriously by the authorities and had only sent it in the hope of fooling him and undermining his determination. I that case, especially supposing her to have received his ultimatum on the mullah's behalf belore sending Rewa Gunga with the dagger, 6he must consider him at least dangerous. Could she be afraid? If so, her game was lost already. Perhaps she saw her own peril. Perhaps she contemplated gosh! what a contingency! perhaps she contemplated bolting into "India with a story of her own, and leaving the mullah to his own devices! In such a case, before going she would very

likely try to have the man stabbed who could give her away most completely. In fact, would she dare escape into India and leave himself alive behind her? He rather thought she would 'dare do anything. And that thought brought reassurance. She would dare, and being what she was she almost surely would seek vengeance on the mullah before doing anything else. Then why the dagger for himself? She must believe him In league with the mullah against her. She might believe that with him out of the way the mullah would prove an easier prey for her. And that belief might be justifiable, but as an explanation it failed to satisfy. There was an alternative, the very thought of which made him fearfully uneasy, and yet brought a thrill with it. In all eastern lands, love scorned takes to the dagger. He had half believed her when she swlre she loved him! The man who could imagine himself loved by Yasminl and not be thrilled to his core would be inhuman, whatever reason and caution and caste and creed might whisper In imagination's wake. Reeling from fatigue (he felt like a man who had been racked, of the Ranpar's strength was nearly unbeliev

able), he started toward where the mullah sat glowering in the cave mouth. He found the man who had

carried his bag asleep at the feot of

the ramp, and taking the bag away from him, let him lie there. And it took him five minutes to drag his hurt weary bones up the ramp, for the fight had taken more out of him than he had guessed at first. The mullah glared at him but let him by without a word. It was by the fire at the back of the cave, where he btooped to dip water from the mullah's enormous crock that the next disturbing factor came to light. He kicked a brand into the fire and-the flame leaped Its light shone on a yard and a half of exquisitely fine hair like spun gold, that caressed his shoulder and descended down one arm. One thread of hald that conjured up,

a million thoughts, and in a second upset every argument! If Rewa Gunga had been near enough to her and intimate enough with her not only to become scented with her unmistakable perfume but even to get her hair on his person, then gone was all imabination of her love for himself! Then she had lied from first to last! Then she had tried to make him love her that she might use him, and finding she had failed, she had sent her true love with the dagger to make an end! In a moment he imagined a whole pictures, as it might have been in a crystal, of himself trapped and made to don the Roman's armor and forced to pose to the savage "Hills" or fooled into posing to them as her lover, while Rewa Gunga lurked behind the scenes and waited for the harvest in the end. And what kind of harvest?

And what kind of man must Rewa Gunga be who could lightly let go all the prejudices of the East and submit to what only the West has endured hitherto with any complacency? Yet what a fool he, King, had been not to appreciate at once that Rewa Gunga must be her lover. Why should he not be? Were they not alike as

cousins? And the East does not love

Its contrary, but its complement, be

ing older in love than the West, and wiser in its ways In all but the material. He had been blind. He had

overlooked the obvious that from

first to last her plan had been to set herself and this Rewa Gunga on the throne in India! He washed and went through the mummery of mus-

l!m prayers for the watchful mullah's sake, and climbed on to his bed. But sleep seemed out of the question. He lay and tossed for an hour, his mind as busy as a terrier in hay. And when he did fall asleep at last it was so to dream and mutter that the mullah came and shook him and preached him a half-hour sermon against the mortal sins that rob men of peaceful slumber by giving them a foretaste of the hell to come. All that seemed kinder and more refreshing than King's own thoughts had been, for when the mullah had done at last and had gone striding back to the cave mouth, he really did fall sound asleep, and it was after dawn when he awoke. The mullah's voice, not untuneful was rousing all the valley echoes in the call to prayer. To be continued

Vicious Bulldogs Barred by Mayor; Frat Boys Peeved OXFORD, O., Sept. 17. Miami University students are sore at Mayor Hughes. Today he issued a proclamation that hereafter all bulldogs, when on the streets ork in public places, whether running at large or led by chain, must be securely muzzled. Every Miami fraternity has its bulldog, and each group of boys seems to try to get the most vicious brute. The matter has reached the point where others dogs and people are hardly safe on the streets. The mayor says that violations will be sufficient cause for both dog and owner to be handled according to law.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

Making You Acquainted With the New Story: Probably it is true that no two persons entertain precisely the same view of marriage. If any two did, and one happened to be a man and the other a woman, there would be many advantages in their exemplifying the harmony by marrying each other unless they had already married some one else. Sour-minded critics of life have said that the only persons who are likely to understand what marriage ought to be are those who have found it to be something else. Of course most of the foolish criticisms of marriage are made by those who would find the same fault with life itself. One man who was asked whether life was worth living, answered that it depended on the liver. Thus, it has been pointed out that marriage can be only as good as the persons who marry. This is simply to say that a partnership is only as good as the partners. ' "The Revelations of a Wife" is a woman's confession. Marriage is so vital a matter to a woman that when she writes about it she is always likely to be In earnest. In this instance, the likelihood is borne out. Adele Garrison has listened to the whisperings of her own heart. She has done more. She has caught the wireless from a man's heart. And she has poured the record into this story. The woman of this story is only one kind of a woman, and the man is only one kind of a man. But their experiences will teach the consciousness I was going to say the conscience of every man or woman who has either married or measured marriage, and we've all done one or the other. PIERRE RAVILLE. "I Will Be Happy! I Will! I Will!" Today we were married. I have said these words over and over to myself, and now I have written them, and the written characters seem as strange to me as the uttered words did. I cannot believe that I, Margaret Spencer, 27 years old, I who have laughed and sneered at marriage justifying myself by the tragedies and unhappiness of scores of my friends, I who have made for myself a place in the world's work with an assured comfortable income, have suddenly thrown all my theories to the winds and given myself in marriage in an impetuous, unreasoning fashion as any foolish schoolgirl. I shall have to change a word in that last paragraph. I forgot that I am no longer Margaret Spencer, but Margaret Graham, Mrs. Richard Graham, or, more probably, Mrs. "Dicky" Graham. I don't believe anybody in the world ever called Richard anything but "Dicky." On the other hand, nobody but Richard ever called me anything shorter than my own dignified name. I have been "Madge" to him almost ever since I knew him. Dear, dear Dicky! If I talked a hundred years I could not express the difference between us in any better fashion. He is "Dicky" and I am "Margaret." He is downstairs now in the smoking room, impatiently humoring this lifelong habit of mine to have one hour of the day all to myself. My mother taught me that when I was a tiny girl. My "thinking hour," she called it, a time when I solved my small problems and pondered my baby sins. All my life I have kept up the practice. And now I am going to devote it to another request of the little mother who went away from me forever last year. "Margaret, darling," she said to me on the last day we ever talked together, "some time you are going to marry you do not think so now, but you will and how I wish I had time to warn you of all the hidden rocks in your course! If I only had kept a record of those days of my own unhappiness, you might learn to avoid

the wretchedness that was mine. Promise me that if you marry you will write down the problems that confront you and your solution of them, so that when your own baby girl comes to you and grows into womanhood she may be helped by your experience." Poor' little mother! Her marriage with my father had been one of those wretched tragedies, the knowledge of which frightens so many jjeople away from the altar. I have no memory of my father. I do not know today whether he be living or dead. When I was four years old he ran away with the woman who had been my mother's most intimate friend. All my life has been warped by the knowledge. Even now, worshipping Dicky as I do, I am wondering as I sit here, obeying my mother's last request, whether or not an experience like hers will come to me. To be continued
