ties resulting from the German naval
raid are as follows HartlepOOl, dead
So, wounded 115; Scarborough, dead
II, wounded 30; Whithy, dead 2,
wounded 2. These figures do not i'm

England today is bristling width
wrath and resentment as a result OF
the attack against unfortified towns,
which English opinion holds to be a
breach of international law. Another
raid is expected and preparations for
resistance are being carried on vigor-
ously.
London has plans under way to or
ganize a national guard Of men too
old for regular military service.
A number of the victims at Hartle-

teen school boys were killed by a
single shell, and only one boy es-
capped out of the bunch. Ten were
killed in the collapse of building.
A shell damaged building five miles

HAVE NOT SAME VIEWPOINT
Logic and Argument Mean One Thing
to Man and Another to
Woman.

Logic" is the rock on which the
views of man and woman split. He
knows" that she Is inconsistent, she
that he argues only for the joy of hear
ing his own wisdom. Each knows
that convincing the other is gift
not granted by the high gods unto
mortals. But the knowing fails to
keep them from debating until debate
threatens to degenerate into wrangling
and feminine tears and masculine
vehemence Of expression bid them
cease.
Each is right and both are wrong.
Man refuses to be convinced, woman
is incapable Of being convinced. The
source of the difficulty lies in the fact
that logic and argument, like truth,
mean one thing to him and another to
her. Man enjoys argument, the pit
ting Of wits against wits and power
versus strength, even If he be worsted,
but woman dislikes it instinctively,
even If she prove winner. The rea,
son is that he is born for battle and
self-assertion, she for peace, whose
essence is self-denial, If not self-efface,
ment.
To man argument is good deal of
a mental game Of chess, to woman it
is an earnest clash of two personali-
ties.
Man will wage wordy warfare with
man over the merits of a point OF
honor or those of a security, and put
the best of him into the intellectual
and verbal duel, and not seldom lose
his temper for the moment or the
hour; but when the war Of words is
over he TRUSTS the affair behind him,
has no personal feeling as regards his
opponent and many even acknowledge
that there was foundation for opinions
he withstoOd. But woman argues
about the deeper feelings or thought
in regard to such problems as poll
tics, religion or virtue and takes the
matter with terrible seriousness as
an affair Of life and death Her re.
gard for sincerity and truth, as she
understands these qualities, makes the
debate one to be expressed in terms
Of personality.
When two such standards and meth.
DDS Of argument as mans and wom-
ans come together we have the spirit
ual analogy to the physical phenome:
non of an irresistible force encounter
ing an immovable obstacle. Too of.
ten the outcome Is an everlasting
smash. But the issue is inevitable
1t was forecasted in the first recorded
conversation between man and wom-
an-that of Adam and Eve in Eden af-
ter eating of the tree of knowledge of
good and evil. 1t will continue thus
to the end of days.-Spokesman Re-
view.
