DO NOT UNDERSTAND AMERICA A WORLD OF REPUBLICS , ,;: OPEN FORUM : :iAn "Appreciation" fVftII umi, vm, rrn ThatkAnnremfdllUU M1UH IUU I1CLU --rr ABOUT SIDEWALKS An old friend of Mr. Cradelbaugh's, after reading the latter's little book let, expresses his appreciation in verse nnd prose, that the Colonel prir.cn as the highest compliment paid hi little verse collection T? verse and letter were written by Frank R. Abstcn. of Hood l.iver who was not only a sub scriber to the Hood River (Slacier when Cradel'iaugh edited it; but read it, and as his letter indicates, survived. There were rerlernl others noir halo nnd heartv in that walled iu Uarden of If the impression German leaders have of' conditions in the United States were obtained through the innumer able spies Germany is said to have in this country, it can safely be said they are not earning their money. It is stated Zimmerman believes should this country go to war with Germany there would be a revolution' and a splitting asunder of the American people. This impression might be obtained by one coming to this country and hearing Americans talk among themselves, especially if that one did not understand the American people, which no for eigner does. They cannot understand how we can jump onto each other during elections for instance, or over any matter of import as to public policy, roast each other through the newspapers and in hired halls, and call each other names without believing we are ready to take up arms against each other. They do not, and cannot under stand the American motto: "We can kick our own dog, but no one else can." Only a few months ago, the repub lican press and party was vigorously opposing the elec tion of Wilson for president. The democratic press and speakers were just as bitterly opposing the election of Hughes. Naturally an outsider would have thought we were as a people so widely divided that we could never be brought to submit, either side, to the success of the other without a revolution. What was the result? Wilson was elected by a bare majority of electors, his election depend ing in the final result of the vote of California; and his majority in the state was but a few thousand. It was an ideal condition for a row if we were disposed to end our differences over politics in the way. Instead, when the fact became known that Wilson had an honest majority in California, even though but a handful of votes, the matter was settled. His opponent so soon as he was satisfied the majority was against him, gracefully accepted defeat, and his party did the same. The people had decided and that settled it. The repubican press and voters are as strong supporters of the president who is their president too, as if their own candidate filled the office. They are Americans first and party men afterward. There may be hyphenated politics in this country but there are no hyphenated Americans. The amount of misinformation German leaders have about America would justify prosecuting their inform ants for obtaining money under false pretenses. It may be an unprepared America but it is a solid one. That some trouble would come from a few enemies of the country now within its borders is no doubt true, but they will be taken care of, and Germany or any other country hoping to get the better of the United States through a division of its people will be most sadly disappointed. While the gains in territory by the allies in France are great compared to those made by either side during the earlier stages of the war, they are but about ten per cent of. the French territory occupied by the Germans. The territory recovered contains about 85; square miles, while the Germans still retain t.lzb square miles. It is The United States was the first to formally recognize the new republic of Russia.

Dear Friend Cradlebaugh: I have just for the first time hud the pleasure of reading your poen.s and the pre ceding verses, will tell you something of the affect that they had on me. As you used to write, so much about the long haired spring poets X supposed that you almost hated verse. 1 borrowed your book from Blythc a few days ago ond after rending 'Separated" and "Not Now", (you know I am a southerner); 1 own that T w'as crying when 1 looked across onto the next page and rend "The Piano next Door", and well you can im agine the result. I thought "The Drip ping Rain" one of the most pathetic pieces that I had ever seen, though all were good but some were extra good. A short time ago 1 picked up an old number of the Sun Set magazine, and began reading an article headed "A Feud," and I haden 't read a half dozen lines until I was sure that you had written it and looked for tho name and sure enough there it was. j should be pleased to hear from you if this missive reaches the mark.

Two friends of Tom's get into the same train. They see Tom. and immediately speak to him, asking where he hasjeept himself. Tom is obliged to introduce" them to hia wife. Vivian Morton is very handsomely gowned: very chic- A typical New Yorker, and Sue, even though dressed in her best, feels the difference in her clothes made in a small town, and the wonderful confection Miss .Morton has on.

She has more friends of Tom's bachelor days is only too willing to yield to their urging aud join them. From now on Suo commences to yield to the fascination of Now York. It does not come all at once, but gradually. She meets men and women. She learns to love dress and all the luxuries that Tom even though as time ' goes on his salary is raised cannot afford. She rung in debt to satisiy her longings for pretty clothes, which when developed in a woman unnsed to them, is only comparable to the thirst for drink in a man. She borrows, she de ceives to procure what she finally cofneg to think necessities. Her love for Tom never wavers though she does many things to jeopardize his for her which, is equally steadfast. But they have many unhappy times, many disagreeable scenes- The bit Tom insists upon giving big mother becomes a veritable bono of con tention. They then try to induce her to widening the breach. Two children am born to Tom and Sue, a boy and a girl. Instead of making Sue more careful, more saving, they are ait added incen tive to spend. HER children must look as well at those of their friends', even though the friends have large incomes compared to theirs '. A man meets Tom and Sue. Carrol Blacklock. He at once sees how mat ters are with Sue. He senses her love for pretty clothes, for luxuries beyond Tom's means.

In desperation one day she goes to his office and borrows money to pay a. debt whicfc the shop-keeper threat ens to turn over to Tom if it isn 't paid by the next morning.
