PARLOR BOLSHEVISTS
(From "Treat 'Em Rough")
He is not a new species. Before
the war he congregated with his kind
much in the same manner and talk
ed impressively, darkly and omin
ously about the existing order of
things. Then it happened to be birth
control or free love or being in tune
with the cosmos it didn't matter
much what the subject. The impor
tant thing was that he be heard.
Now the subject is Bolshevism. And
the gentleman with the soulful eyes,
slightly soiled collar and the cup of
tea with no cream is the parlor Bol
shevist. Were he sincere, were he willing to
sacrifice himself by means other
than talking the principles which he
advocates, one might see in him a
person misguided, but admirable for
his courage. The master cracksman
is a highly popular character in fic
tion because he is depicted always as
a real man, of unusual cunning and
daring. One never defends his out
lawry, but does give homage to his
spirit.
ine panor Bolshevist, however, is
only aiding in the disseminating of
highly dangerous catch-phrase ideas.
Himself harmless, he carries the
germs of this world-wide economic
plague as a fly spreads bacteria.
Swat the fly!
WHY WERE THEY CHOSEN?
If a record for paltering and pol
troonery instead of service of unsel
fishness and patriotism was the
claim to Republican " preferment in
the next House of Representatives,
then the selection of its leadership
becomes perfectly understandable.
Hardly a Republican member who, in
the critical days of America's prepa
ration for war against Kaiserism,
sought by word and act to bring dis
credit to his country, has failed to
win honors from his party.
Lesser leaders in this Republican
majority are almost all of the same
stripe. Representative Mondell of
Wyoming, successor to Mr. Mann as
floor leader, voted against tabling the
McLemore. resolution and opposed
the draft. Representative Knutson,
of Minnesota, party whip, voted
against tabling the McLemore reso
lution. Representative Haugen, of
Iowa, chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture, voted against the war
resolution and the espionage bill.
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the Rules Committee,
voted against the espionage bill.
Representative Fordney, of Michi
gan, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, voted against
tabling the McLemore resolution, and
against the shipping board bill and
two war revenue measures. Repre
sentative Mason, of Illinois, who is
to have a place on the Foreign Af
fairs committee, voted against the
war resolution, the espionage bill and
the selective service bill.
This organization of the riext
House represents a pitiable combina
tion of recreancy and reaction.
These men are chosen, obviously
enough, not by reason of their loyal
ty to their country, but because of
the allegiance to Penrose, Lodge,
Cannon and Hays. They refused to
protect America, but they may be
trusted to protect privilege. They
ignored the President, but they will
heed Penrose.
THE EX-KAISER'S FATE
that he cannot be punished by the
Allies and a minority report to the
effect that he can be. Should this
happen the ex-Kaiser's fate would
have to be referred to the Council of
Ten and perhaps pass from the Coun
cil to the plenary conference for de
cision. As is to be expected America takes
the view that the ex-Kaiser cannot
be legally punished by the Allies
and France takes the opposite view.
The Americans, however, possess
enough backing in the committee to
make their opinion the majority one.
Of course the Americans wish, to
gether with the French, that there
were some way of fixing responsibil
ity directly on the Kaiser and impos
ing punishment on him. It is the
opinion of the Americans, however,
and of the majority of the commit
tee, that this cannot bo done.
The reason for this is the rather
curious fact that war is not a crime
under international law. Whereas
duelling and other such sanguinary
means of settling disputes between
individuals are outside the pale of
the. law of all nations and may be
punished in their courts, the bloody
method of settling of disputes be
tween nations on a wholesale scale by
war is regarded as legal and not
punishable by law. A new internat
ional law would therefore have to be
adopted to cover this case and the
committee is opposed to drafting it.
The adoption of the Constitution of
the League of Nations will of course
make war illegal hereafter.
Another reason urged against try
ing the ex-Kaiser at the present time
is because it would be next to impos
sible to get a jury which would give
an unprejudiced verdict on the case.
To send Wilhelm to Germany for
trial is equally impracticable. In the
first place he is in Holland under the
status of a political refugee and Am
erican law1 provides the right of asy
lum for such refugees. And then
again it is difficult to foresee what
would happen if Wilhelm were sent
back to Germany. He might be
assassinated and he might be tried
and convicted. But it is also within
the realm of possibility that there
might be a royalist effort to restore
hiin to his throne. It is very likely
the ex-Kaiser to cherish such a
scheme. His egotism and intense
vanity might see a parallel between
his return and that of Napoleon from
Elba.
While he is likely therefore to es
cape legal conviction for his crimes
the ex-Kaiser will not escape the
moral condemnation of the civilized
world. His own countrvmen will
look upon him as a coward for run
ning away. Probably no man in his
tory has fallen so low from an emi
nence so exalted.
TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN
Suggestions by mothers who have been kindergartners. Issued by the
United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C, and the National
Kindergarten Association, 8 West Fortieth Street, New York.
(By Ellen Eddy Shaw, Curator of Brooklyn Botanic Garden)
This spring two new children are
born into our All-The-Year-Round-Garden
family. One little boy be
longs in the country, and the other
little boy belongs in the city. If you
look at the names of these two chil
dren you will know right straight
off that Patty is the country boy and
Holly, with his fancy name, must be
a city lad.
If you are a country boy or girl,
go out some fine spring day to a
sunny little hillside, or slope in the
woods, and there you will find little
Patty. Patty's whole name is hepat
ica. When you are poking among the
dead leaves, what you must look for
first is a little plant with large, old
tough leaves, reddish in color. Push
these aside and down underneath are
some tender, new little green leaves,
and Patty's head bent over, protect
ed by those big, tough, last year's
leaves.
Take up one or two hepatica plants
carefully, also some of the wood soil,
and when you get home plant them
in a fish bowl or some other glass
vessel, with the wood soil about
them. Put the bowl in a sunny win
dow, with perhaps a piece of glass
over the top, and as the days go on
you will see little Patty's head prick
up, you will see the new1 leaves
start, you will see one of the love
liest ,blossoms a little plant ever had,
and lo and behold, there is Patty,
your country boy!
Now, if you are a city child it
would not be at all easy for you to
add Patty to your garden, would it?
So some night ask Father for ten
cents and with your ten cents shut
up tightly in your hand, go to a
flower shop and ask for holly. Holly
is a fern with bright leaves that look
like Christmas holly leaves. It is the
best little fern for indoors, and will
last better than almost any other
fern.
Be sure you keep Holly very clean
and nice. You must wash his face,
washing both the front and back of
the leaves, just as mother washes
your face and behind your ears.
Keep the soil in which Holly is plant
ed moist but not wet and soggy.
Give him a nice sunning every once
and a while, and if there is a gentle
spring rain, put little Holly boy out
of doors and let the rain wash his
face.
So Patty and Holly are our two
little spring boys who belong now in
the same "All-The-Year-Round-Garden"
family with little Marie Gold,
our French orphan.
To the mother: These are two
very satisfactory little plants for
small boys and girls to work with.
Hepatica is interesting because the
children can watch the plant open as
the spring days advance, just as it
would open in the woods; and while
holly fern is not as interesting as
hepatica, still it is a fern one can
use at home or plant in the window
box at school, and feel sure it is go
ing to last for a while.
Help to reach all the parents of
the country by cutting this out. and
passing it on to a friend.

there is considerable division of
opinion among the Allied de-legates
at Paris concerning the question of
what Bhould be done with the ex
Kaiser of Germany. The committee
appointed to fix responsibility for
the war is now discussing this ques
tion and there is a report that the
rule which requires that nil decisions
of Buch committees shall be unani
mous will be broken for once.
The question which divides the
committee concerns the ex-Kaiser's
legal liability for his acts. If the
difference of opinion should persist
beyond reconciliation there will prob
ably be two reports by the commit
tee, a majority report to the effect

American women many of them
in the uniforms of their country's
army and navy played a bigger and
more important part in the war which
the Paris Conference is about to end
than the greatest feminist ever
dreamed would be possible. In prev
ious wars woman's, activities were
none the less heroic because almost
exclusively humanitarian, but in the
struggle drawing to a close she was
conspicuous in every phase of the
conflict, save in actual battle though
the Russian army had its regiment
of women in more than one engage
men. Every big American city has be
come familiar with pretty "yoeladies"
in the naval garb, and with the "ma
rinettes" in the khaki of the Marine
Corps. If these young women have
riot themselves carried arms and
shared the . fighting, they released
men for theso sterner duties and
that contributed to swell Uncle Sam's
forces overseas.
In France, on the edge of the fight
ing, American women did a noble
and a dangerous work for their coun
try. If they fired no shot at the en
emy, they were nevertheless often ex
posed to his shells and poison gas
in performing their errands of mercy
for American doughboys. Nurses of
the army and women' of the Red
Cross experienced tho worst side of
war the care of wounded, the com
forting of the dying, Many of these
brave women lost their lives in these
heroic labors.
Hundreds of American young
women faced the dangers of the sub
marine to go to the front. They
served as clerks, as telephone opera
tors and as comforters of the sick
and wounded. It required courage to
make this journey of thousands of
miles overseas where German sub
marines lurked always ready to kill
man, woman or child.
In the rearmost lines of defense
in the shops and factories and fields
women did their share to win the
war. No work was too hard to
frighten them. They made shells,
they built airplanes, they labored in
shipyards, they drove engines, they
operated ponderous machinery, they
tilled the fields. And in doing this
they not only freed men for military
service, but they took their places in
the making of munitions and supplies
for the Army and Navy.
Women wanted a chance to show
that they were equal to the tasks the
war imposed, and they received it.
There were some who doubted the
wisdom of reposing these heavy re
sponsibilities on women, but the va
rious departments of the govern
ment have not been disappointed.
The administration afforded womerf
opportunities to demonstrate their
usefulness as units of the Govern
ment, and they met the test in every
way.
In the big financial and industrial
problems which the administration
had to solve in conducting the war.
women gave notable assistance,
iviucn oi tne credit ror the success
of the Liberty loans goes to women

A large attendance was recorded
Tuesday night in the Congregation
al church in this city to hear Ben
Scovell, who addressed the assembly
on his experience while in Europe.
Mr. Scovell for the past two years,
has been entertaining the boys of
Great Britain and the United States
while they were serving their coun
tries on the front lines, and the audi
ence Tuesday night sat in silence
while Mr. Scovell gripped them with
his eloquence and tales of the front
lines. He was introduced to the
people of this city by P. D. Forbes,
who presided at the meeting.
With the acceptance of an invita
tion by Rear Admiral Fullam to at
tend the Victory Rose Festival, June
11, 12 and 13, it is assured that
Portland's monster harbor will be
the haven for a good sized fleet of
Unole Sam's fighting craft while the
festival is under way.
Recently, the directors took up the
matter of having warships in the
harbor while the Festival was being
held and the navy department indi
cated that such request would be
fulfilled. Following this, an invita
tion was extended to Admiral Fullam
at San Diego where he commands
the Pacific division and he accepted
this week. ' This means that not only
Admiral Fullam will be a distinguish
ed guest but that he will come with
his flag-ship and an escort of almost
every type of fighting craft on the
Pacific coast, including some of the
sub-destroyers which played such a
leading part in putting to a quick
death the activities of the murder
ous German submarines in the Great
War.
