We are in the war for one purpose and one only, and that is to put an end for ever to the menace of autocracy to the peace of the world. That will have been accomplished when Prussianism is destroyed in Germany, and among her allies. It is a notable fact that the four nations allied against the world are each of the autocratic kind of government. Germany is the most so, Bulgaria the least, with Turkey a close second for Germany. As to Austria and Bulgaria they will be negligible quantities once the power of the kaiser is broken, and as for Turkey when the war is over shej will he safelv out of Europe for all time. It is against j Germany the fight is centered, and against her simply j because she is the leader, without wnom tne otners woum be harmless. When the power of the militarists is broKen and the German people take hold of their government to run it as they want it run, the interest of the United States in the war will cease, and for that matter so will that of the allies. As to the shape of the future map of Europe, this country is not worrying itselt about thai. Americans believe every people should govern themselves in the way best suited to their conditions and surround ings, so long as they recognize and respect the rights of other nations. They believe every nation regardless of . .1111 1 . 1 L i.1 ,. 1 .-IV. its size or strengen snoum nave us piace ai me wmwa tnhln iust as the smallest and weakest of the family has in his home. America wants the old doctrine of "might jnakes right" reversed to read "right makes might," It wants the world to be free, for every person to be free to travel around and across it anywhere, at any time, tree and protected in that right no matter where he may go. it bplipvps that a eovernment that deliberately sends women and children to the bottom of the sea to accom plish its own ends, is not worthy to exist, and it is for this reason it purposes removing it iorever irom powei, In view of the dilatory manner of doing things by congressmen the president is eminently correct in refus ing to have a committee from that body placed in charge j of anything that requires prompt action.

One of the things that nobody has heard anything about is the registration of negroes in the south, or whether they are being enlisted. All other sections have been heard from, but on this question there has been a silence so loud as to be almost noisy. It the negroes are being drafted no one has ever heard a word about it, or what will be done with them. Naturally mere snoum De some discussion as to their service and as to whether they were to be enlisted in separate regiments or other wise; or if they are to be sent across the sea to help put an end to Prussian militarism. A word or two from Secretary Baker concerning them would be acceptable. It is claimed one objection the senators, or some of them have to Hoover is his polities. If that is all, the quicker they forget it the better. Anyone who knows anything of the size of the contract this country has un dertaken in declaring war on the Teuton allies will not have to be told it is not a political campaign. The sole question concerning any man for any position should be is he the best qualified for the place. His politics should have no more to do with his selection than the religion of his wife's mother. Any shortage of crops in this country will be a greater source of worry to some neutral countries than to our selves. About the first persons to be cut off from the American kitchen will be these same neutral countries that have been doing a bootlegging business with Amer ican grown foodstuffs. In a abort time they will be glad enough to get something in the way of a hand-out for their own use, and they will not be very particular as to what it is.

But as we worked, something Tom suid re called it. "Where did you go?" I asked. "Down on Long Island, to f.ong. Bench.' 'he replied as he lifted heavy picture off the hook and set it dowii for me to dust. "How iiianv went?" "Ten in all'."' 'Te.ll nic. .about it, did you-have a good time?" ''Fine! Blacklock always does things up brown, you know." "Who made up the party? ' Fo 1 know thorn all?" At my question Tom flushed, and 1 was at once suspicious. But he answered: "Oh. the isunl bunch Blacklock takes out." 'What do vou mean bv the usual bunch? Was Vician Morton along?" "Yes." . "Well, who else?" "What a question mart you are, Sue, when you get started. He had two men QUESTIONS her. so Blacklock asked her." I said nothing further. I was far from satisfied, but I also did not wish ano ther quarrel with Tom. I wanted a lot of new things for the apartment, and tho motor ride was all over. I would not forget it, however. I thought, even if I did appear to be letting Tom off easily. I .was intensely jealous of ijiss Cole man y this time, and was determined toi stop her intimacy with Tom.- How I did -not know yet. - - - - We worked busily until ten o'clock. then I made a rarebit.

It was all and more than we had expected. .Tho rooms were large, and much cooler than those in the smal ler apartment, and" they were also bet ter arranged to get air. I had dona nothing about draperiesj as the house was furnished with shades, and I would do as New Yorker, did, wait until fall before draping the windows. Out home we never, made any difference. We liked' the hose to look nice 1u summer as well quite in winter. But so long as it was the sijie to nava Dare looking rooms why I would be in style. I also should have all summer in which to make my draperies, and io the other things I had planned so that we might entertain in the fall. Of course even the new apartment wa cheap and poor compared to the baud some homes of Toin'e friends, but it was a step in advance, "a little better than the old oue. I told myself that in another year or two we would move again. For whatever other failings I may have had I never doubted Tom's ability. In fact I expect I endowed him with considerable more than he possess ed. "Oh, how- lovely this is!" Helen ex claimed when she came down the day after we had moved in. "Wait until we are settled." I told her, "then see what you think of it," aad I went on to describe the chiatx and other materials I intended to use for draperies, and the new pieces f furniture I should buy.
