The ExtirpatiOn Of Won Tir-
pitzism.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Not only the Arabic incident
but also the main controversy
between our Government and
Germany on submarine methods
Of warfare is closed by the
straightforward and satisfactory
note handed yesterday by Count
Won Bernstorff to Mr.. Lansing
and by the SECRETARY of State
made public last night.
The German Government in
structs its Ambassador to dis
avow completely the attack on
the Arabic and to express deep
regret for that attack; to notify
Washington of its readiness to
pay indemnity for the American
lives lost; and to announce that
the Kaiser's orders to submarine
commanders have been made so
stringent as to render out of the
question, in the opinion of Ber-
lin, another incident of the sort.
The completeness of the dis
avowal and the unreserved ac-
ceptance of responsibility by
Germany are emphasized rather
than mitigated by the mention
Of Commander Schneider's ale
cations in defence Of his action.
Not often in the history Of the
world have so few words as are
contained in the brief German
note wrought so momentous a
change in an international sit
uation s~urcharged with the
gravest possibilities. It will
now require the extreme of in
genuity to discover any lack Of
responsiveness in this final re-
ply to the reiterated demand of
the American Government, and
the extreme of malice to cues
ton the absolute candor of the
German note.
Next to the friendly frmness
Of President Wilson'S attitude
from beginning to end the most
potent influence making for con-
tinued peace and friendship be-
tween the United States and
Germany has been the untirine
diligence of the German Ambas-
sador. It is just that the Amer
lean people, as well as his own.
compatriots, should recognize
their great obligation to Johann
Heinrich Won Bernstorf in their
respect.

TEACHES WOMEN HOW
TO SELECT CLOTHING

Short Course in Home EcOnOm-
les at University of Missouri
Presents Practical InfOrma-
ton for HOusekeepers.
In every family a certain per
cent of the income goes for cloth
ing. The purchase of clothing
and thereby the spending Of this
portion of the income is under
the direction Of the woman, who
usually has little or no training
for this task. Women have
been continuing blindly to buy
what fashion DEGREES without
thought of whether or not they
were getting value received"
except as far as style entered in
to the matter.
The kind Of clothing worn is a
factor in health. No considera-
ton has been given to this phase
of the problem. In order for a
woman to select her clothing
wisely, she ought to know some
thing about sewing and dress
making, about the selection of
fabrics as to their comparative
values, and about human physi-
ology. The adulteration of
clothing is more likely to bring
about an economic loss than the
adulteration Of food.
A course called Dress Prob
lems' is offered in the Short
course in Home Economics at
the University of Missouri pre-
senting just the Information a
woman needs. The course is
planned primarily for the young
woman who knows something
about sewing either through ac-
tual experience at home or by
taking a sewing course. The
dress problem course is intended
to help her in the planning and
selection of a complete outfit
which conforms to economic.
hygienic, and artistic principles.
By training women to use more
intelligence in the selection of
clothing according to rational
principles rather than to the
dictates of fashion, a large
amount Of money now being
spent on clothing would be avail
able for more profitable ends.
The Short Course in Home
Economics, at the University Of
Missouri, begins November i,
and closes December II. It is
open to any girl or woman more
than is years old. Practical in
formation on housekeeping prob
lens is given in the course. An
announcement Of the courses
will be sent on request to the
Superintendent Of Short
Courses, Columbia, Mo.

She spent three wretched days, which

Saturday night came, but John did
not. This was the climax Of Lucille's
suffering. At ten o'clock she sat
down and wrote him an indignant let

was glad, she said, that she had

too late, but she wished he had been
enough of a gentleman to tell her
what she had wanted to tell him, that

We are glad TO be able to report that the
very necessary work OF cleaning the Cemetery
and digging drains therein has been Carried
through by the Cemetery Beard ia n most
satisfactory manner. The arduous task of
cleaning this bush grown burial ground was
undertaken by Mr.. Marcus, and he has ac-
complished his work II a conscientious and
painstaking munDer. It is a pleasure now to
pass through the Cemetery-lt looks clean
and decent, and very different to ita appeal
ance 3 months ago.
We congratulate the Commission on lecid-
ING, after an over long deIbelation,o n the tho
rough cleaning which has taken away the re-
proach from Christiansted of possessing q
burial ground uuequaIled, for It's uutidint IS
anl utter ue9lect,in any Christian community.
The Cemetery is clenn uow-how long Whit
emain 80 =? We are told hat the duty Of
keeping it in a decent condition has been
intrus,ed to the grave digger, Nj. Dun
bavin, but we doubt that with his best en-
deavour (and we are sure he viii try his bostl
he will be able to keep tins large potion of
land clean of weeds, grass and bushes in qoot
weather with but ono assistant, for this is all
that his grant will allow him to have.
Wa are still OF opinion that. unless an
adequate sum of money eau be vote I
for the general upkeep Of The Cemetery,
which would eDsure at least 4 men benz
kept constantly occupied IN different parts OF
it, we might with profit learn from the expe-
lience of II past genelotion in dealing with
this plot and plant guinea grass.
The Cemetery Board would thus insure q
pei manent erudicator Of weeds, the pubic
would secure Il well kept and decent burial
ground, and there would be money obtained
from sale OF the grass to pay for keeping
paths Glenn and for an occasional weediu-4of
the grass. Whilst t. e public Cemetery has for
years been an eye sore to all and a heart sora
to many, the burial ground attached to the
Anglican Church has maintained its clean
and decent appearance with very little attcu-
ton paid to it because it was kept planted
with guinea grass. Even now it bears f0-
vourable comparison with tbe exposed earth
with q green curpet Of sprouung Weeds) of
the lately weeded public Cemetery. If
we could afford to have a cemetery
we'll laid out and kept in spick ana span
order as those in New York, for in
stance, of course, we would prefer to have
that condition to grass, but as we canrot
afford 10 spend much money on our grave
yard we ought to plant it with what,
experience and ocular demonstration both
tell us to be the best means Of keeping the
land free Of weeds and bushes, VIZ. the
guinea grass.
