Reforming the Boarders.

The boarding house had changed
hands, and the regular boarders were
changing some of their habits to suit
the aggressive new landlady. The
sword had fallen rather promiscuously
during this pruning of bad habits, but
they were all amused when it struck
the naughty young professor. Sitting
with his head bowed gracefully on his
shapely hand. it was his custom to pay
no attention to the things that were
passed around the breakfast table.
The landlady brought In plate of
hot biscuits and held them in front of
him. He did not look up. She logged
his elbow, and looking up he said lofti-
ly: II do not care to be disturbed
when l am meditating."
The regular boarders stopped eating,
awaiting her reply. She stared at
him for second, then said decidedly:
Hereafter you do your meditatin'

1914 that the well-knewn statue of the

To explain his detestation Of the

Calls Upon Wilson
to Question Kaiser
London Spectator Wants to Know
How About the Geneva
Convention

London. Sept. 4.-The Spectator,
discussing the German operations at
Loucain says:
I'VE venture to take this opportun.
ity Of again suggesting that President
Wilson should approach the German
emperor and ask him for a plain dec.
larAtion Of what his intentions are
with regard to all the treaties sign.
cd In his behalf at The Hague. Those
agreements have been shamelessly
disregarded SO that no earnest man
can now place any trust In German
promises.
The newspaper says that English.
men, no matter what Emperor VIII
liam's attitude might be, would have
no thought Of reprisals, adding that
there must be no policy of an eye for
an eye and tooth for a TOOTH"
Here is Mr.. Wilson's opportun-
ity," the Spectator continues. "The
United States is strictly neutral as
honestly neutral toward Germany, we
are sure, as toward ourselves. But
she IL the only neutral reat power
except Italy left outside of the orbit
Of war. We earnestly hope that Mr..
Wilson. finding himself in this posi-
tion-particularly since he represents
. nation deeply committed to the
principles Of The Hague-will boldly
AK the German emperor to declare
his intentions.
mr.. Wilson can act where no one
else could, as the spokesman Of CIV
ilization and Of human rights. The
question to be put to the German en-
peror could be asked In manner that
would admit of no misunderstanding
or evasion.
Does the German emperor repudi.
ate the Geneva convention and per-
haps even more binding, the common
understanding of Europe that has
grown up in the last 200 years? Does
he repudiate all The Hague conven-
tons? We ought to know. In our
opinion the United States owes 1t to
civilization to find out for the rest
of the world"
