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

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

They meet a friendly couple in tho-,

aud from this intimacy spring ninny

Tom takes Sue to the theatre for
the first time. She wears her wedding
dress at his request, and feels too much
dressed up until she sees othrr women
in the subway also on their way to
places of amusement. 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.

semi-smart restaurant for supper, al
though he can ill afford it. 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. He a hlase man. of the
world is attracted by her, and plays
on this passion of her's to worm him
self into her affections.
In desperation one day she goes to
his office and borrows money to pay
