David Lloyd George, the British premier, outliited Saturday Great Britain's war aims. They were printed n The Observer Saturday evening. For convenience they nay be summarized as follows: Great Britain Does Not Want: To destroy the Austrian, German or Turkish Empires. -To destroy the German people. Great Britain Does Want: To turn Germany aside from schemes of military loniination to beiicficient tasks. An independent Poland. 'Consent of the governed to be the basis of territorial 'settlements. Wishes and interests of native inhabitants of German iolonies to be consulted. ' Reconsideration of the wrong of 1871, when Germany wrested Alsave-Loraine from France. Restoration and restitution for Serbia,' Montenegro, Belgium and the occupied parts of Italy, France and Rouinania. Union of Italian-speaking people with Italy. Self-government for Austro-llungarian nationalities which desire it. Recognition of independence of Arabia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine. Establishment of an international organization to set tle international controversies, to limit armaments and to diminish probability of war. Sanctity of treaties re-established. For Germany to Decide: Whether to adopt a democratic contitiition. In other words, the allies..are. fighting a, war to estab lish international justir-e, Taw and order, as against Ger: niaii lawlessneess, murder, rapine and pillage.' o MUSIC AND AVAR A great discussion is going on in the musical world as lo the relations of music and the war. In many cities of Hie United States anti-German and anti-Austrian feeling lias caused German and Austrian artists to be snubbed. As a result Fritz Kreisler, the great Austrian violinist, has been forced into retirement. Charges had been made ngainst him that he was using his large income to assist the Austrian government in the war, when investigation proved that he was aiding merely his aged father and the families of fellow artists of France, Italy, Austria and Germany whom the war had rendered destitute and giving practically his whole income to war charities. Many of the German musicians in this country are having hard sledding;the production" of German operas and composi tions are being stopped. While sonic of the artists and musicians object on the ground 'that :rt knows no natio nality and no creed, this tempest illustrates whflt is going lo haiipen unless Germany soon pleads for an honorable peace: that is, the world at large will have no use for inylliing German, whether manufactured, or art, litera ui'e, music, kullur, chemicals, philosophy or anything 'Ise. It may be a loss to the world to lose German 'music. but in America this is particularly a time to build up our own music and composers, to n lav airs that insnire iat riot ism. At the same time in Hie homes we should not forget the old, soothimr. restful melodies. Never was Miere a tune when music was more needed to soothe tired nerves and to irive rest and refreshment to lmsv lovim o . i 1 " LADIES' SHOES Every shoe in stock reduced.

The child who's active to obey, who heeds, with cheerful brow, whatever Pa or Ma may say, is worth more than a cow. I have a pair of young galoots, and when I bid them work, they answer me, "You bet your boots," and never think to shirk, I say to then!', "(Jo rake the leaves from off the lawn today"; they get their rakes and neither grieves that he must ipiit his play. I say to them, "Go paint the pump, and mow the priceless grass," and tliev go to it on the .jump, and hand me back no sass. For such a wholesome brace of kids, it is a joy to toil. I to buy them underwear and lids, and cake and castor oil. How sharper than a serpent's tooth, how worthless and how bad, is that unseemly, graceless youth, who won't obey his dad! Fur him the world will hold no prize, the dump will be his bourne; he'll live unloved, and when In dies, no soul in town will mourn. J. to Red 3361. A. G. Herman, ?
