THE SAME OLD SPIRIT
The attitude of the German people
toward their former and present
governments is peculiar, and hard
for Americans to understand.
Most of us hare taken It for grant
ed that the Germans turned against
kaiser-ism from conviction, We
have pictured them as entering joy
fully upon a new era of freedom, as
in earnest about democracy - and
eager to repudiate the sins, follies
and tyrannies of their past. There
Is little real evidence of that. Dr.
Harold 'Williams, former correspon
dent of the London Dally Chronicle,
writes from Switzerland:
"The German revolution as seen
from here certainly demands suspen
sion of Judgment, . There is no ex
ultation in liberty, no particular in
dignation against the authors of na
tional misfortune, no recognition of
the (wrong done by Germany to the
world, not the faintest sign of na
tional repentance. The overthrow of
the German monarchs Is regarded
with Indifference or scarcely conceal
ed regret, and there Is no tint of
any disclosure regarding responsibil
ity for the war and no publication of
secret documents.
"The hostile attitude toward the
allies is unchanged, or rather Inten
sified by the sense of humiliation
caused by the conditions of the ar
mistice for which we are apparent
ly considered to blame Instead of
the German rulers who tried to
wreck civilization. The persistence
of (he arrogant and exclusive spirit
under the new conditions Is most re
markable. As yet the revolution
has effected no change of heart in
Germany."
We shall have to wait longer be
fore making up our minds about the
Germans. Certaintly we cannot re
ceive them into full democratic fel
lowship until they repudiate autoc
Tacy and all its works, from the
heart as well as the lips, and give
some Indication of understanding
what democracy means.
THE MILITARY JIRL
The "military girl" will now de
mobilize. ' Orders have come from
headquarters direct from "the
leading modistes along Fifth ave
nue," which as the reader may sus
pect is in New York City.
There are to be no more feminine
fashions modeled after soldiers' uni
forms.: Military styles are, or soon
will be, quite "passe."
Why? Simplest-thing ' In the
world!, It Is all a matter of psychol
ogyof male and female psychology
As the Fifth avenue. experts dope it
out, when the boys come marching
homo they will foe tired of all things

been restricted to masculine society
and seen nothing but masculine ac
coutrements so long that their eyes
hunger for the sight of filmy, fluffy,
feminine things.
So that settles it. That is, if
women really drees for men rather
than for themselves a matter con
cerning which there has been some
dispute.
EMPLOYES AXD STRIKES
One of the pleasures of being an
employe of the government under
public ownership plans is that
strikes are forbidden, says the Man
ufacturer.
Director General McAdoo warns
the telegraphers that under govern
ment operation of telegraphs and
telephones strikes must go.
He says: "You are now working
for the government and no strike
has ever occurred against the gov
ernment." (Except in shipyards, etc.,
etc)
It wag impossible to announce a
decision of the war wage hoard on
the demands of the telegraphers and
so he asked them to wait. -
The theory that government em
ployes cannot strike has not been
true in other countries, as for in
stance England and France.
President Wilson and Director Mc
Adoo deserve commendation for re
primanding threatening strikers and
the rule may be established.
It Is a fact that postal employes
and city, county and state and fed
eral employes, or Job fcolders have
never gone on strike.
PREFERRED CREDITORS
Statistics figure that the total
'wealth of Germany Is $50,000,000,-
000 while the Indebtedness Is now
$57,000,000,000, which leaves the
nation with a net debt of $7,000,-
000,000. The question Is asked,
how can the allies enforce repara
tion from a bankrupt nation. Easily
enough. The present German debt
Is owed to her own people who thus
supported the government and were
parties to its crimes. ' -That debts
must be either repudiated or post
poned until the debt to the despoil
ed nations are paid. ' Belgium end
France must be restored by the peo
ple who are responsible for the ruin
the German people. S

Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments
Required Situation In Wheat and
Fats Proves Government1 s
Policy Gounc.
With the guns in Europe silenced,
we have now to consider a new world
food situation. But there can be no
hope that the volume of our exports
can be lightened to the slightest de-
gree with the cessation of hostilities.
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian " yoke are now depending
upon us for the food which will keep
them from starvation.
With food the United 8tatea made
It possible for the forces of democ
racy to hold out to victory. To Insure
democracy In the world, we must 'con
tinue to live sluiDlV tn order that we
may supply these liberated nation of
Europe with food. Hunger among a
people . Inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for demo
racy.
Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of
food to Europe." For the present year,
with only the1 European Allies to feed,"
we had originally pledged ourselves to
a program that would have Increased
our exports to 17,80000 tons.- Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
hsve to export a total of not less than
20.000,000 teas practically the limit
of loading capacity at our porta. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
find that some foods will be Obtainable

world needs under a regime of eco

hand, there will be marked world
shortages In some Important commodi
ties. .

In the matter of beef, the world's

At this moment Germany hss not
alone sucked the food and animals
from all those tuassos of people she

she has left behind her a total wreck

Famine Is the mother of anarchy.
From the inability of governments to
secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos. From an ability
to supply their people grows stability
of government and the defeat of an
arcby. Did we put It on no higher
plane than our Interests to the pro
tection of our Institutions, we must
bestir ourselves in solution of tali
problem.
AT THE MOVIES
Annette Kellennan, the shapely
"Queen of the Sea," is the aquatic
star at the Joy theatre for two days,
Friday and Saturday. Those who
remember her famous picture, "A
Daughter of the (5 ode," are prom
ised In this latest William Fox sub
marine fairy story even more sensa
tional swimming and hlgh-divlng
stnnts, combined with real dramatic
situations. The art of condensation
has been applied to this feature pic
ture so that thrill follows thrill In
constant crescendo, until Miss Kel
lennan attains a halr-raUIng climax
with her dive or 85 feet from a high
fire Into the breakers below.
This comes as a logical part of the
story, where the heroine Is escaping
from a lofty tower by walking a
wire cable across a chasm, when the
villain cuts the slender strand, and
at the same time the tower la blown
tip. It Is a thrill worth going miles
to see, whereas you only have to go
to the Joy theatre.
DEATH AS ENTRY INTO JOY
Writer Thinks Mankind Exaggerates
Importance of Incident of Earthly
- -' Dissolution.
Apart from the mystery of lives cut
oft In their early prime, and this Is
the horrid catastrophe of war. It Is
certain, that In our natural clinging
to life we exaggerate the Importance
of the Incident of death. "Win you
never find ah abiding peace?" said a
friend to restless poet: He replied,
"All life Is a wandering to find
home."
Michael Falrless writes In the Road
Mender: To the large majority
death Is Pluto, king of the dark tan
known whence no traveler returns,
rather than Azrael, brother and friend,
lord of the mansion of life. Strange
how men shun him as he watts In the
shadow, watching our straining after
immortality, sending his comrade sleep
to prepare ns for himself. When the
hour strikes he comes very gently,
very tenderly. If we will have It so
folds the tired hands together, takes
the way-worn feet in his broad, strong
palm; and lifting us In his wonderful
arms he bears as swiftly down the val
ley and across the water of Remem
brance. Very pleasant art thou, C
Brother Death, thy love Is wonderful ;
passing the love of women."
Local Patriotism.
"The extent to which all classes
of society have brought their patriot
Ism Into practice has been marvel
ous, was a remark made by
Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, V. C,
In a recent conversation.
, As an instance of this he mention
ed bow cheaply yet efficiently a wound
ed soldiers' hospital, within a stone's
throw of his residence at Harlow, was
run.
' Sir Evelyn Is actively Interested
lh Its management, and his daugh
ter works there every day as a pantry
maid, along with others similarly
stationed in life.1, The cooking Is
done by three ex-cooks, who will not
accept a penny for their services. The
whole laundry work Is done free of

8leep 8hould Be Undisturbed.!
' People art beginning to realize that
sound sleep isn't obtainable In a bed
that rattles or squeaks or that shocks
the nerves Into seml-wakefulness by
unusual sllpplngs of the springs or un
expected creaklngs. The advent of the
separate bed and the banishing of the
double bed Into the limbo of warming,
pans and nightcaps Is a distinct ad
vance from the standpoint of hygiene;
sanitation and more rational sleeping
habits. When separate beds, or, bet
ter still, separate sleeping chambers,
are In universal use, men and women,
especially nervous Men and women,
and delicate children, will get a good
deal more sleep than they do at pres
