Over the Hills of Doubt I journeyed yesterday to strange and wonderful country.
 It Is known as the state of 'Menuoneo- For-Office." It is a transltory dominion The inhabitants are restless, always look ing wistfully for Q better country. Every citizen carries a home seekers ticket In his pocket with his knapsack checked. The transfer man has standing order to be ready to call at his door for his bag gage at any moment.
 Every inhabitant moves once year.
 Periodically the land is deserted
 Just now 1t is at the height of the sea- son and every cottage Is taken The pea nut man, the soda water man, the not tamale man and all that tribe of camp followers are there in glory.
 Joining the state of "Mentioned-For- Office" and deeper in the everlasting hills toward the cloudy sunset is the populous territory of "Has-Been." Between the two countries flows 'Sa1t River" slugsed, dark and miasmatic.
 A ticket to the territory of Has Been'' is furnished by the authorities and charged to, the charity account 1t Is compulsory It is unlimited and has no stop-over privileges or return coupon
 Strange to say, this is one of the most populous countries not shown on the map. Charity forbids such unlEind publicity.
 Most of the citizens of the state of ''Mentioned-F -Fer-office' finally migrate to the territory of Has Been.'' This Is not matter of choice but the law of the land-the only law that exists in the for mer country. Only few-a chosen few are permitted to return to the land of their nativity or climb the mountain of Hope" to the City of Pie' standing bold on the plains to the east This comedy city derives It's name from the principal diet of the inhabitants.
 Across the River of Salt in the land of 'Has-Been' I am told the principal diet of the people is uncoolzed crow In the state of Mentioned For Office the peo- pie never eat or sleep. They absorb nu- triton from the breezes that float down from the Hills of Hope"
 This state is one of turbulence and rev. olution War clouds hang forever over the scorching plains. And yet there is a about the country that lures people from the peaceful land of Private Citizenship" The fruits of the land are beautiful to behold and luscious in ap- pearance but are bitter to the taste. The days are almost unbearable with

SENTIMENT STILL
 IN FAVOR OF WAR

New York, January 1b-Pubno senti- ment h still in favor of war as the best means of settling international disputes, in the opinion of John W. Foster, for mer Secretary of State. An address by MT. Foster was read today at meet ing of the New York Peace society. He advised the advocates of universal peace to stop trying to force legislation and in- stead to work for a sentiment for peace. Little hope could be expected, he said. from the present Senate Major General Wood had said tho army should be en- larsed and strengthened
 Such statements are but reflex Of the popular feeling in our country" con- tinues MT. Foster. "and 1t is one which must be changed before we may expect any permanent and substantia1 realtza- ton of the principles of the peace so- ciety."
 Senator Burton of Ohio said the United etates should lead all other nations In banishing war. He favored a conserva~ tive national programme
