DETERMINATION TO WIN
LOTLONG. AGO a German writer said, that the spring of
! 1918 would see the berinnino? of a new war. The conflict
has bridged changed. The Russian people have been "double-
crossed"' again and again, so that we can scarce blame them for
,t)ieiif (bewildered demoralization and shattered state. But the
ttdynt of the United States is bringing into humanity's fight for
life: a new world of strength and ingenuity. Other self-respect-ingestions
must sooner or later join us, for Germany is warring
on all the world. -m
iruir determination to do the only thinkable thing our de
terffinatibrijto win was never firmer, nor was our spirit ever
::mow!ianely! hopeful and cheering.
; FT1, When in 1914 Germany made her treacherous and carefully
prepared attack upon the liberties of the world she alone was
ready for the struggle; The gallant Belgian and British armies
,ere too small to hope to do more than stay the invaders and
:erish.f. . ; ; ;ti';'-':':'';: iv' ': '-,";:v '
i v ButJothers have filled their ranks. The new Belgian army
is-composed largely of men who risked, their lives breaking
.through the. Hun lines. For all of Belgium's affictions her new
;itfmy. is "self-supporting.
:' Today 'the great army from all the ends of the democratic
British Empire, which closed the ranks of the unconquered old
regular; army, is unsurpassed in morale and is equipped with all
the guns and munitions the spring campaign will require.
1" France is not bled white. True, she has much less red blood
than in the beginning, but she has a sea of red blood yet. "Many
.hundreds of thousands of glorious Frenchmen have died in this
: war," writes a noted American correspondent, "but many more
; hundreds pf, thousands are alive and well and ready to give their
: liyes for the cause in which their compatriots perished. Never
: before liaV? , the armies of France been so good, though this is
saying almost incredibly much. It can be said only because her
armies are still sufficiently numerous and are more highly suf
ficiently numerous and are more highly skilled than at any pre
vious time. : They are more highly skilled because in this war
armies learn every day. Experiments are ceaseless. Strategy,
tactics and machinery are progressive. In none of these things
are the French second to any one.
"Most of the roads for miles behind the French front re
sound by day and by night with the tramp of troops. However
far one motors one seems never to come to the end of them
Sturdy men they are, in the pink of condition, tough as leather
Infantry, cavalry and artillery alternate.
' "I went to France expecting to be saddened and I came away
deeply gladdened, Yet I would not project a false perspective.
France's miseries, her sacrifices, her efflux of energy, blood,
money, and material have been stupendous. She could not go
- on forever as she has been"going on for three and a half years,
With all her might America should hurry. .
"Already the American uniform meets one at every turn in
Paris and is seen at every Parisian center. American soldiers
are streaming to the front. But where we have thousands, hun
dreds of thousands will be needed. Unlimited numbers of can
non also are a crying necessity! America can make them and
transport them and save innumerable lives. France believes she
will do it. Every officer, British or French, that I saw in
France believes she will do it. I certainly believe she will do it."
The clocks of the nation will be turned ahead one hour,
April 1, in inaugurating the daylight saving plan. The change
in time will remain effective until the last Sunday in October,
when the clocks will be turned back again. Millions of dollars
annually will be saved to the country by putting the plan into
effect, according to its supporters. Approximately f 40,000,000
alone will be saved in the nation's lighting bill, it is declared.

A Story of Married Life
REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By A dele Garrison
What Madge Found In Dicky's Chiffonier
and What She Feared.
As I picked up the kodak picture that
I had found in Dicky's chiffonier drawer
which I was clearing out for the use of
the guest he was bringing home with
him, I noticed an inscription beneath the
figures of Dicky and the two pretty girls.
"Rescuer and rescued. Dicky-bird,
Kdith and Leila, President's speech,
Madison Square Garden."
I drew in my breath sharply. At my
first glimpse of the kodak print I had
told myself that it wns probably some
picture taken in the days beforo Dicky
met me and (hat the only question that
needed to trouble me was. why he pre
served the memento?
But the sight of the Inscription and
my consequent study of. the pretty focos
turned up to my husband's brought back
most vividly to my mind one of the most
humiliating experiences of my life.''
Again frightened and almost unable to
breatho from the pressure of the crowd
around me, I stood by Dicky's aide in the
mob surrounding Madison Square Garden
on the night of the pre-election speech of
the president of the United States. I sow
him nod reassuringly in answer to the
frightened glances of two girls whom bo
evidently knew and call out heartily:
"Don't get frightened! I'll sec you
through." .
I had contrasted his mnnner toward
the two girls, who were distinctly pretty
and of the frilly clinging, helpless type,
with the rude way in which he had
greotad my frightened exclamation at the
pushing of the crowd, but a few mo
ments before. I had thought that the
cup of my humiliation was full then, but
when a little later Dicky had dashed to
the rescue of one of the girls who had
been thrown from her feet and in doing
so had become separated from me, leav
ing mo alone In that awful mob, I leorn
cd what humiliation and terror as Well
really mean.
I could hear again the shriek of one of
the girls, "Dicky, they're killing Edith I"
So this was "Edith" whom Dicky had
rescued, and Leila, the one who knew
him familiarly enough to call him
"Dicky." I knew, for Dicky had told me
when I had first seen the girls, that they
were art students from Virginia who had
a studio In the same building which
housed Dicky. He had spoken of them
nonchalantly, with almost a paternal air.
A Harmless Prank?
"They'ro V. V. V.'s and all that aort
of rot," ho had said. "Think they're
studying art, but they'll never amount to
a hill of beans at It. Mighty nice girls
though. Every man and woman In the
building looks out for them. Regular
Babes In the Wood, they are, both of
them. We all wish to the Lord some nice
consisting of coffee, sandwiches and cake
was served.
During the lecturer's hour, a roll mil
of the charter members was glveu, which
was responded to by a short address hv
tea om present.
man would come along and marry them."
"Both of them at once" I had asked
in a banal attempt to hide the depression
of spirits I had felt at his courtesy to
them, his discourtesy to me. The stir
ring events which had followed my visit
to the garden bad banished the girls ef
fectually from my mind until the sight
of the foolish little picture with Dicky
evidently posing as the hero rescuer
with the adoring rescued girls at his
feet, brought it all back to me.
Of course I realized that the standard
o fthe studios was not tie Puritanical
one which my early training had given
me. The kodak print was a harmless bit
of sport, a prank such as might be play
ed any day with no thought of harm.
Tet I knew that in my own girlhood! I
would never have allowed a photograph
to be made of myself and a married man
unless bis wife were included in the pic
ture or knew obout it. But I told my
self that I must get rid of those old
Ideas and adapt myself to my husband's
widely differing ones;
And yet! '
In Receptive Mood.
If it had not been for the providential
nearness of Dr. Pettit in the mob upou
that night and his accidental discovery
of mc, I would probably have received
serious injury, unprotected as I was in
the mad struggle to get into the build
ing. I recalled Dicky's abominable be
havior to both Dr. Pettit and myself
when ho finally found bis mad Jealousy
of the young physician.
I wondered what Dicky would say if he
found in my possession a photograph of
Dr. Pettit and myself entitled, "Rescuer
and Rescued."
Then the little leering, mocking devil
on whom I can always dopcud for die-
