Hamburg Once
World Porty Now
Lies Deserted
Hamburg. In one day last week
28 steamers passed Cuxhaven on the
wav to Hamburg or to enter the Kiel
canal. - This was the largest number
of ships to come Into the Elbe in 24
liours since the early-days of the war,
and the event was hailed with in
tense satisfaction here as a sign of bet
ter times. Five years ago it was a
dull day when only a score of vessels
nrrived. The Hamburg-American line
atone usually had from 25 to 30 big
flhlps in port and the harbor was so
crowded with shipping that the prob
lem of docking often became acute.
In those days few flags other than
those of German companies were seen
in the harbor. Today Hamburg Is lit
erally under foreign colors. Shipping
companies of all the principal nations
have set up offices here ana me
merly powerful German lines, having
lost their Bhips, are acting now only
as agents. American, British, Japa
. wrench. Italian. Spanish, Dutch
and Brazilian companies display their
advertisements In the snipping paper
Advertisements of German concerns
are So few that one must search for

There Is some life again In the har

dldly equipped docks and warehouses,

v. A Menace Recedes
.President Wilson's recently announced policy towards Poland
and Russia, though sharply criticised by political enemies, la
clear, just and sensible and one that every American should
endorse. Results already achieved, more than justify it. . Again
the president has demonstrated bis capacity for leadership in
international affairs, and shown that his clear world vision is in
no way impaired, s , '; ' . .-' '
The American attitude, in brief, is that Poland must be pre
served as a "united, free and antonomous state." Recognition is
refused the Bolshevik government of Russia, and dismemberment
n.,nA kinniiai. ilinl nrim Ay. 4- tWAatAj "TtviAMlir
feplicitude"' and "profound sympathy" are expressed for Russia,
and the hope set forth that the Russian people "will in time over
come "the existing anarchy, suffering and destitutioni" Mean
while "Russia's interests must be protected." 'r
Recognition of the new republics carved out of Russia, as
seperate nations, most of them, local protests against bolshevism,
is therefore refused and the contention made that the bound
aries of Armenia should not be finally fixed without Russia's
participation.' - The president would regard with satisfaction a
declaration by the allies that the territorial integrity of Russia
be respected as a means of depriving the soviet leaders of their
rallying cry to the patriotism of Russians. : '
.The immediate result of the announcement of the American
)olicy was to thwart the recognition of the soviet government by
Great Britain, which Lloyd George, with his customary surrender
to political expediency proposed. France immediately approved
VVmerica's stand and recognized General Wrangel, the anti
bolshevik leader in Southern Russia, to aid a counter offensive to
save Poland. ,;y;- . ..:' . : , -. f .V;.
The Poles were heartened to sterner resistance and victory
by the attitude of America and France, and the bolshevists dis
couraged. ' The- vigorous counter-offensive before Warsaw ended
in the complete collapse of the ambitious bolshevik invasion by
the rout of the Red armies.
In possession of Poland, Lenine could have dictated terms to
Europe. With his armies defeated and in flight, his own regime
is threatened. The end of bolshevism is in sight and the delivery
of Europe from anarchy and pillage is due to the gallant Pole
ably assisted by France,

"You seem to he enjoying yourself,"
he said spltcYuUy. -
Endorsement of the United States' effort to maintain the
integrity of Poland by the American Federation of Labor, comes
as a shock to local bolsheviki who were jubilant over the action
of European labor radicals in withholding assistance. :
: - -
Leon Bronstein, alias Trotsky, emulated the kaiser by going
to the front to claim credit for the capture of Warsaw and like
the kaiser, he beat a hasty retreat. '
ed. "I haven't had such sport for a
whole week. One of your cousins flew
with vie one night. And we had a
fine time. No doubt we'd be enjoy
ing each other's company yet, if I had
n't hit a bit of bad luck."
"What was that?" Freddie Firefly
asked her quickly. He thought that
if he could only( keep his dreadful com
panion talking,' perhaps she would
forget about flying -and knocking him
down. "What was your bad luck?" he
repeated Impatiently.
Jennie Junebug paused and wiped
her eyes...- .v-. .,.:. '
Aithoueh Freddie Firefly sank back
with a groan, she did not seem to no
tice him. ' . ' -. .
"Your cousin " - sne coiumueu,
"your cousin was the easiest thing to

I knocked him over thirty-three times
in one minute or in other words, as
fast as he fleshed his ugnc. -

he was growing weaker. Earlier in
the evening, when he riasnea imn

cirofiv heeded her.and the fat lady
ceased talking ana rannea ne.acn i
idly And then, while she continued to
tell him about his unfortunate cousin,
Freddie sets his wits to work upon a
plan to escape from the dreadful crea
ture. He hardly knew what she was
saying. But every time she paused he
urged her on again with a "Yes, yes!
or a "Go on! Go on!" r
At first a wild hope came to him
that he might be able to keep her talk
ing all night. Then, of course he
would be safe; because when daylight
came she would no longer be able to
se his light. ' ,
But he soon had to give up that plan
for he saw plainly enough that the fat
lady was growing restless. And at last
she told him flatly that she had talked
all she cared to. 1 .. .
"I'm ready to fly now," she an
nounced with an awful eagerness.
"One moment!" he said hastily.
"Your fan I see you ve mm n

"Will you?" Jennie Junebug asked
him gratefully. "And will you prom

"I . promise!" said Freddie Firefly,
isnatchlng the fan out. of her hands In
his haste. "Walt rlarht here!" he -
tloned her. And then he leaped .Into
the air and started away. - i -
Bang. He hadn't flown longer than
forty-six seconds when Jennie .June
bug floored him again. ', i-
"I simply couldn't resist hitting you
onc more!" she said sweetly. "And
now, hurry! Or I shalj never be able to
let you leave me."
Freddie. Firefly needed no more urg
ing. Though he was sore in every
limb (and he had a great many!) he
mad his escape quickly. '
All the rest of the night he worked
hard, trying to find a white clover leaf
that exactly matched the one that Jen
nie Junebug had carried for a fan.
But every single clover leaf was dif
ferent from Jennie's in one way or an
other. Freddie Firefly had hoped that
it would be so. For if he had found
one precisely like Jennie Junebug's, he
would have had to take It to her, as
he had promised. .'
How long the fat lady waltd for im
in the meadow, Freddie Firefly never
knew. And to tell the truth, he didn't
oare. He was too happy because he
had escaped the fate of his cousin, to
bother his head over Jennie Junebug.

Rippling Rhymes
x Overworked Words
"Meticulous!" That weary word pops up before me every
where; the blamed thing may have been a bird before they wore
it all threadbare. Galsworthy sprung it years ago, and it was
worthy of his gall, and it's been chivied to and fro till it requires
the bier and pall. It flavors everything I read, it's plastered up
with printer's ink, it's down at heel and gone to seed, and it
would drive strong men to drink. And "Grueling" should take
its place upon the list of deadly crimes j whenever there's an auto
race we see it used a thousand times. When fatheads battle in
the ring, what time they should be plowing corn, the scrap's
described as "grtieling," regardless of the purists' scorn. And
hdw I hate the "gripping" tales that figure in cheap magazines,
turned out in large and endless bales by sweating hacks for pork
and beans. "Compelling" is another word that nearly breaks my
grand old heart, used in connections most absurd "compelling"
songs, "compelling" art. I meet the chestnuts every hour,, and
into tears I often burst; and of all words that make life sour,
"meticulous" I hate the worst. :

, John's Character
John went on reading his paper
after I had made my involuntary ex
olamatlon, and then, when he had
finished, started silently to the office
of the hotel. .- '
Just before Jie went out the door
he turned and said: ; I will tell the
manager that we will give up the
rooms this evening." -
You needn't do that, John. I will
not be able to get away from hers
until the end of the week at least.
The servants that Alice has engaged
for me will not come until next Moa
day. And, besides the house has
been vacant so long that everything
is dust covered and topsy-tarvey."
"What do you mean by Alice en
gaging servants. I thought that Han
nah might come on and do the work
for us. and with Mies Parker. for the
baby and Charles for your chauffeur.
I think you would have enough. Many
women get -along with less." J ;
XeVer Did Housework ' .
"My doar John, Hannah never did
any housework in her life. She was
pprsor.al maid to my mother', as Har
riet Is personal moid to yours. Be
sides, she Is too old to work for. any
one now.; and I am sure that Charles
will give her a home in the old
house now that it belongs to him".
'But I thought Charles was goinsr
to ninke out the deeds in your name,"
was John's quick rejoinder.
John fjordon, have you the s!ish

"Well, .1 want to tell yoa once and

simply because he wns not of, the

at his saying that no woman could
