British Anneal to Germany.

Sixteen British leaders of thought
and profound students Of economy, upon
invitation on the part of DR.. Stein,
the editor of a Berlin publication, the
Nord und Sued, have contributed to
that magazine candid articles on An
glo-German relations. This is to be
taken as part of the propaganda of
peace and mutual understanding which
has been carried on in both countries
since the visit of Lord Haldane to
Germany in the early spring.
The writers, who are to be answered
in the next issue of the periodical by
Germans of like rank and importance,
.ndeavor to show that the British sus-
picion complained of in Germany is nat
ural in view of the aggressive pro-
grsmme of the Navy League, the Pan
Germans, the expansionists, and others.
They suggest that this programme be
repudiated and that the imperial govern
ment should satisfy Europe that no
territorial aggrandizement is anticipated
0r in contemplation, and that the army
and navy are maintained for purposes
Of defense only.
Now, when it comes to suspicion, any
one travelling in either land soon will
become convinced that it is as manifest
in one country as in the other. In Ger
many the popular belief is that some
day that nation will have to fight Eng
and in order to protect her rights and
interests, while the average Briton
charges Germany with designs of an
offensive character and fears that Eng
and will have to fight Teutonic en-
:roachments.
An understanding between these two
great nations of Europe would clear
he whole political atmosphere 1t also
would put an end to futile and insane
rivalry as to naval expansion. 1t might
wen permit limitations in armament by
agreement.
The key to the great economies and
improvements of Europe Is the Anglo
German situation. The efforts to reach
IN understanding ought to be furthered
n both countries

'sAIary James Pa"


There are no two ways about it. Mary
James Pa did have a way OF straight
ening out difficulties, and whether 1t was
a mere matter OF cooking the family
dinner or Of taking hold OF the family
print shop and getting out the paper
that put old Joel Skinner out OF the
running, or doing any one Of the twenty
or more things that came his way. Hiram
Perkins, while he was handicapped at
the start, was more than one OF US be-
fore the end Of the evening. All Of which
is Just another way Of saying that the

Of Edith Ellis three-act comedy drama,

alIoyed enjoyment to those who saw it
last evening.
Fun there IS in abundance, for who
could not laugh with and at the people
in a town like Gosport, Ind, where the
Sons and Daughters Of Freedom with the
village milliner as their Past Grand-Any-
thing-You-LIke, are the last word in the
social activities OF the community
where. when the repertoire company Is
in their midst they refer to last nights
production as THE Merchant OF Venus"
and where quaint village characters,
each lust q bit more laughable than the
one who has preceded him, abound.
The Ellis comedy makes an excellent
vehicle for the Columbia Players, in
that there are many fat character
parts for distribution, and last evening,
without exception, these were played to
the entire satisfaction OF those in front.
There was Ivy wilcox. the village elo-
cutionist, made extremely funny by
Aline McDermott; the gossiplng millin-

Recipe for Happiness by One with
Seventy Years of Married Bliss.
From the ST. Louis Republic
Seventy years OF married life, un.
marred by a quarrel, From that serene
height Mr.. John Schwind, OF Belleville
as an artist who has mastered the
greatest Of arts, does well to teach a
striving world. But he has no intricate
theory to expound. His recipe for happi-
ness is the essence OF simplicity. His
is the philosophy OF plenty.
It's a rational plenty. too: an available
plenty. Plenty Of work. Plenty to eat
Plenty Of tolerat!on. In that trinity John
schwind and his wife found content
ment. They couldn't have found any.
thing else. Contentment is its sole con.
tent.
Plenty OF work: To the man looking
for job that prescription may seem the
bitterest satire. But somewhere back on
the road OF the man looking for a jot
there is a stretch where there was
plenty OF work" What was wanting
Was there an unw!Ilingness to do it? Or
was the poise or judgment defined in
plenty OF toleratiOn" lacking?
The worlds work is an unlimited cor.
pOration- II is capitalized infinitely. Not
all its shares, though. are preferred
stock. Broadly speaking. when we can't
get the preferred We can get the COM
mon stock. II We haven't untitled our
selves for such participation.
Plenty to eat-the golden mean of tenn
perance between not-enough and too
much; the badge of self-conquest.
Plenty OF liberation: Toleration is the
visible service OF the spirit OF compro-
mise. John Schwind illustrates the point
in a homely, Illuminating way. When
wanted to shave in the parlor, and
my wife wanted me in the kitchen, why
We Just stewed a little and compromised
on the dining-room." That's John
Schwind's allegory OF success. AS a bird
