Ohio With the President. Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

There ought to be no question as tc where Ohio will stand on the big issue of national preparedness. The fact that IA of Ohio's 24 members of Congress belong to a party different than that of the president whose pro- gram of defense will be the bone of contention in House and Senate should rot alter the situation in the slightest
 It is pleasing therefore, to find that a majority of Ohio's senators and re- presentatives, as boiled by the Plain Dealer, are firmly convinced that the times call for new standards of na- tional defense, and that they will stand by the president in any reason able program he may urge at the coming session.
 No partisanship is involved in this problem of defense. There Is need of clear vision, of disinterested patriot ism and of intelligent grappling with the whole big naval and military needs of a country at peace. It is no time for little Americanism to display itself.
 Ohio points the way The other states must fall into line behind President Wilson if they are to be deemed worthy of their mem mbership in the Union.

The Linen Color.
Manchester Herald.

Probab bly the most distinctive article of 8 mans apparel is the white linen collar. In a general way we size up a mans standing by his linen. Of course this is a most superficial judg- ment and is often erroneous; vet the fact that many young men will work for less money on a job where they can wear a linen collar than on one where a soft collar is necessary shows how the linen colla: is esteemed. In the minds of these youths the soft collar is associated with menial labor and therefore is to be avoided.
 It is an encouraging sign of the times that the soft collar is grad ually displacing the starched linen collar in everyday use. As a matter of fact the soft collar is more com fortable than the linen collar even if it is not as dressy. Furthermore It goes naturally with life in the open air, with physical exercise and free dom of movement. The man who habitually wears a soft collar IS apt | to have more ruddy complexion, l squarer shoulders and a more ath- letic build than the one who confines
 himself to a linen collar, and the l chances are that he is earning a 1 larger income, too.
 l Among the occupations which en- 1 courage the wearing of the soft collar l are those of the civil engineer, the
 surveyor, the construction boss, the | farmer, the horticulturist, the land l SCape gardener, the automobile l driver and the road builder. All | these are healthful occupations and
 they pay better than most of the | stiff collar jobs. To them may be
 added a host of indoor occupations l In which brains and skill command l high pay and which permit-indeed 1 rromote-the use of the comforta ble 1 soft collar. The work may some
 times be dirty, but soap and water
 arc cheap and the money earned is l clean.
 | Therefore let us cease to worship | the linen collar. While 1t may con-
 tinue to play an important part in
 social functions it no longer denotes
 superiority in the work day world.

D. MCMILLAN Is9-201- -:O3 MAIN STREI-r

ute nearly thitry years ago, he told his hearers that he had often been asked for a list of the hundred best books, and that he had once been requested to supply by return of post the names of the three best books fin the world. Both the hundred and the three are a task far too high for me-" he confessed: and then he de. clared that he would prefer to inc dicate what is "one of the things best worth hunting for in books"-the wisdom which has compacted itself into the proverb, the maxim. the ap- horism, the pregnant sentence in- spired by common sense in an un- common degree" Morley asserted that the essence of the aphorism is the compression of a mass of thought and observation into a single saying" Rpd he added that it ought ito be neither enigmatical nor fiat. neither a truisrn on the one hand, nor riddle on the other"
 The lecturer did not provide a den- hilton of the lofty, searching aphorism which should serve to distinguish it from the number proverb; and vet the distinction is perhaps contained in this last quotation. since the deSl- p1i ttuhH AbnAAh NA& truism, whereas the more aristocratic aphorism inclines toward the enigma. Lord John Russell once called a pro- verb 'all mems wisdom and one mans witt" and proverbial wisdom appeals at once to the mass of mankind, whereas the less universal truth. packed into the subtler aphorism,. Is likely to demand little time for con sideration before it can win its well come. In fact, the more keenly tho maker of an aphorism has peered in- to the inner recesses of human nn- ture, the less likely is his maxim to attain immediate acceptance from the m multitude, who are optimistically con- tent to sec only the surface of life and who prefer not to probo to deeply into the fundamental egotism of man. So it is that the swift ap- prehension of some of the shrewdest Of La Rochefoucauld's sayings might almost be made to serve as q test of intelligence and of knowledge of the labyrinthian intrieacies of the human soul

JOYFUL NEWS.

There will be much joy in many quarters now that it is known Presi- dent Wilson has despatched by special messenger his long considered protest against British interference with com- merce between the United States and Europe and that Ambassador Page will present the document to the Brit ish Foreign Office sometime next week. That the note is vigorous ir tone and replete with objections will also cause a thrill in many hearts. For, while no one on the outside of the White House or the State Depart ment at Washington yet knows what is contained in the missive that is now vending its way across the deep, it is freely hinted by those who come in contact with the President and his Is on the eve of receiving what is cont monly known in pugilistic circles as a knock out. If a ten thousand word note does not come some where near placing John on the operating table then Uncle Sam is said to have an- other dose in his medicine cabinet
 The note is said to cover in an ex- haustive manner the arguments of the American government on all phases of interference with neutral trade. It is to be hoped that the epistle now on its way accomplishes its mission with h- out long drawn out argument such as took place with Germany over the submarine question. Indeed, it is be | lieved Great Britain will see the folly | of her ways in holding up American l goods bound for neutral ports, anu that very little, if any, trouble will be
 realized in bringing about change ot attitude. Our statesmen have pon
 dered hard and long over this note. II
 has been in mind eyer since the first 1 protest was sent to Germany after the
 Lusitania disaster Therefore it should
 contain some convincing arguments
 some sledge hammer blows. England 1 HluSC De made to Know the sincerity
 of the United States in this conner
 cial argument just as Germany was 1 convinced in a question which meant { the taking of human life. For while there Is always a marked difference
 between manslaughter and petty lar
 ceny, both crimes are violations of | sacred rights and offenders must be
 made pay the penalty.

| Perfect Tribute.
(New York Times.)

One feature of Gridiron dinners is died during the vssr if there have been such. The lights suddenly go out. and in the darkness the voice of Louis A. Coolidge is heard. On one such occasion he said:
 The Gridiron Club goes on forever; though in the course of time it's mem bership must change, till in due sea son those now mingling here become but memories to the later born. We cannot alter everlasting laws to stop the timepiece of eternity which strikes for each his hour to fall asleep. Our comrades come; they go; and as they pass they lay their offerings on the Gridiron shrine, contented of the gifts they bear blend in the glory of the club they love and fix their memory in a place among the crowding re- collections of receding yearrs. And as they melt into the shadows of the past it Is most fitting that those finger ing here speak each name fondly for remem berance sake.
 There is a hush where moment before merriment prevailed and jest went ringing Upon a screen appear the faces of men who are no more. From out the darkness comes a voice calling their names briefly reciting their deeds. and pronouncing a final tribute and farewell. There is a distant strain of music; tho pictures begin to fade among clouds; the music grows stronger and the words of the song are heard:
 Don't you hear them bells:
 Don't you hear them bells;
 They are ringing out the glory of the
 day.
 The lights flash and the whole room joins in the chorus; and mirth. wit and merrymaking again hold sway.

 ''The book is a vigorous and nov ing study of a great moral tragedy, as we'll as a carefully, worked out study of English political and social life today. It has more force and vitality than anything Mrs. Ward has done for some time. e."-Outlook. His English wife, by Rudolph Stratz.
 This was written before the war so that it lacks the bitterness which is apt to appear in later books.

tie, to fight, to live in the trenches, to do all those things the men of Europe
 have undertaken. Tn many cases these boys have arrived at their des- tination, have enlisted in the armies of Europe, have even suffered death
 for their foolhardiness. As 8 result of all this, the state department at
 Washington has been kept busy trying
 to locate the sons of American par
 ents, who have asked that their boys
 be released from the military service
 of the belligerent nations. Many Of
 the boys have been caught in the
 ranks and shipped home. The na-
 tions abroad have grown weary of
 these protests and now have decided
 to discontinue the practice of allow
 ing these runaways to enlist. This
 action on the part of the fighting na-
 tions comes at a propitious time. 1t
 is a we'll known fact that the young are not in sympathy with the particu-
 lar army they join, but don a uni form merely for the sake of having attained an end,-the fulfillment of q dream, so to speak. Yet these young lads have proven that the youth of the United States still retains much of the vigor which was stamped upon the men of '76, and later upon those who fought in the war between the states. It is the nature of the American boy to shoulder gun even if but to play at soldiers" Almost every comniun- ity in the United States has seen the familiar squad of little boys arrayed marching behind the lad with the drum. They yearn for training in military science. For their own good they should receive the fundamentals of military drill If this were done in the public schools of the nation there would be no need of our boys running away from home and crossing the ocean to fight with people for whom they hold no allegiance. Far better would it be to keep these young men here and let them gain their Knowledge of military science. Bet ter that than to let them waste their lives upon the battlefields of foreign And then there might come 8 day when the training they gained here in their youth would stand them 1 in good stead. The country needs all 1 Its young defenders at home. We | have an army of our own,-and a 1 navy.

Using Motion Pictures to Get Foreign
 Trade.
(American Industries. )


 If catalogs are useless and personal representatives too expensive, why not send to all the Latin American coun- tries an animated catalog? A nov ing picture of the production and uses of any article. With titles in cor- rect Spanish, or Portuguese for Bra gil, the moving picture will introduce an electric heater, machine-made shoe, cement, or an automobile, more effectively and to more people than a single salesman. The films, shown in motion picture houses, in chambers of comme cree, in trade meetings, or in the private office of a buyer for twen- ty minutes rivet the attention of the observer on that one particular make of goods. The prospective buyer has an opportunity of seeing the article in action and the results obtainable. He reads the descriptions in his own lan- guage and can judge for himself if the article is needful to him. After the hardpan of an uncultivated ground has been broken with the dynamite of an industrial moving pie ture, the salesman or representative can SOW the seed of a profitable busi- ness.
 Industrial films of the manufacture and use of American goods, ranging in subject from shoes, motors pow der, to drugs, are at the present time being made with just this aim in view by the wide awake, keen business men, who realize that Argentinos are also from Missouri, and have to be shown"

The New York Ztaats- -Zeitung. which since the war started has been more German than the newspapers of Berlin, recently began indicating its hostility to the allies credit loRn by printing within a heavy mourning border the names Of banking firms with German names subscribing to the loan. One of the firms so stiR- matised was J. and W. Seligman and Co. of New York city. The company thereupon wrote the Staats-Zeitung q letter in which it remarked that such bankers were trying to- render a disinterested service to their country by helping to keep its industries go- ing through credits to its foreign customers" and added: We are not Germans. nor yet German-Americans but we are unqualified, unadjectived Americans"
