It is a certainty that if this peace guarantee materializes, the United States will be not only a party, but may have to show and lead the way. Surely the world has had enough of war. and the time is propitious for the movement that will cut off a0 danger of another sudden conflagration starting that ' will threaten civilization. It will do away with the main taining of vast armies, and navies, those of each nation being regulated by agreement, ana it will give the war-.-tricken nations a chance to recover that much more quickly. In the meanwhile it is well enough for this eoun- The United States is having a hard time trying to try to lay the foundation for a greater navy and a larger: : maintain a strict neutrality. Whatever move it has made not that they will be needed if a world peace can be ar strictly in the interests of real neutrality has been looked ranged, but that this country will be in better shape to upon by both sides as being intended to aid the other, help force this arrangement If it is accomplished well" which is the best evidence that it is about right, because an(j good, for the big battleships can be dismantled and naturally each side wants the better of it. It is so with the armies disbanded. If it does not succeed, then we are the president's note asking all parties to the war to make ;n condition to protect our shores and our frontiers at ail definite statement as to what they are fighting for and on ;imes. what terms they would be willing to make peace. There ;G no flttpmnt to make either side come to terms, no sug- gestion as to what those terms should be, no taking either side, but just a request that each side state what it wants. Yet this perfectly proper request, proper because the linttprl Statp as well as the rest of the world is interested in having a world at peace and conditions such that it; .. cannot be forced into war, not in favor of either side, but Mr. Bligh. (owner of Bligh Theatre), in defense of its own rights, but which would necessarily Bligh Building, work to the injury of which ever party to tne wai biur should take up arms against has caused bitter comment by all parties to the strife. It would seem that each and 11 of them are ashamed to say what they are fighting nhnnt that is if thev really know.

In the light of Secretary Lansing having asked the fullest in vestigation as to the leak of last week by which Lawson and other plungers cleaned up some millions, it would ap pear that Lawson's statement is a direct charge that Lansing was one of the beneficiaries.

Kate brought us our coffee, and Clifford lighted a cigar. "Oh, isn't this lovely'" T said, with a long sigh at content. "Was it as Ud as thatt" Clifford ashed. "It has been trying, I know." "I was very sad while Kdith was so ill very lonegly after she commenced to improve, ' ' 1 returned. "Well, it's all right now, so cease dwelling on it." i "I wasn't! I was only thinking how nice it was to be here with you." Restraint. Had I done as I wanted to. I should ;have crept into his arms, laid my head ;on his breast aad cried out my love for ; him, my longing to know that he loved ie. But as usual. I compelled myself to "ait still, and sipped my cotfee wbite we talked of impersonal things. Then, aft er Kate had taken the dishes awav. he produced a late magaxine for me to i read, while he looked a. the papers. j I would much have preferred to talk; but that was his way when at home. . After a little desultory conversation he i would bury himself in the papers, until i time to retire- About 10 o'clock he laid jhis paper down with the remark: "Come. Mildred! you look tired. We 11 turn in early."" I Before 11 o'clock, I was sound asleep in my own bed. lxng afterward I re I called that quiet evening in the library , us one of the pleasant places of my mar ' ried life. Unpleasant Thoughts. j As the days passed, the happy feeling ; slowly oozed away; and ia its place icame the old thoughts, ihe old disap pointment, the old neglect. Then, too, so many things seemed to go wrong. Clifford and I clashed constantly, and about such trivial things. He was stay ling out late again, although he came ihome to dinner quite frequently for a i while. I guess he was just a little bit sorry for me. I really looked very bad, aad had no appetite. I had said I ; couldn't eat a mouthful when alone, land that might have influenced hint i to diae with me oftener than he other , wise would. I had been very foolish again. Would I never I K. i . j I - . 1 bk ,hi mto tell me where he had spent his j evenings when I had been with Kdith. He became angry, and would not replr. ii went about with a heaw heart, jeal ; ous as usual, but Clifford new noticed. Instead of gaining. I now lost mora flesh, but I don't think he would havw I noticed that either, had he not been at ;home one night when Burton and j Muriel called. j I was very glad to see them, .as I al ways was; and delighted that for oaca they found Clifford with me I did so I hape he wouldn 't excuse himself and g lout, or off up stairs, as he had done be jfore when they called.
