LET Brotherly Love Prevail"

The barbarian pirates have broken
loose again. VIII those murderous
Germans ever cease to run their
criminal career? The whole world
hates the Germans and fears them.
The civilized citizens of the world
are now holding, aloft the standard
OF righteousness and all the decent
citizenship of the world condemns
Germany. She STANDS a,one Tor the
destruction of the world and all the
people in It, The word now is,
Obliterate Germany Let her be
erased in the thought of every decent
citizen. Her crimes should be paint
ed on every vail where people travel
that they may be seen; every news
paper should carry her crimes to let
the world know the record.
Yet, they stand face to face with
good people all over the world and
make believe they have character
like other people The whole world
stands aghast and fearful of the
lives of all her enemies When two
or three are gathered together in
homes, in halls, in hotels and in the
streets, they are condemning it and
it will be so until it stops its bust
ness of murder: and withdraws its
million spies in America, even in
Burlington News.

One Member Saps Another-Proposal to Call

Fifty delegates and alternates TO the
annual meeting Of the New York City
Federation of Womens Clubs were
crowded in n hallway In the Hotel Astor
after the fashion of the subway yester-
day afternoon, and 1t was half an hour
before they learned why they were held
there. Then one OF the officials rose up
on a chair and said:
The reason you are all here like this
Is because some one has cheated. There
has been dishonest voting"
RepOseful bearing. which had been
somewhat al a premium all during the
session, disappeared entirely. The ques-
ton OF whether delegates or alternates
should vote, or both, was shot back and
forth without rest. one member found
her patience so sorely tried that she
relieved her feelings by slapping another
member.
Then she fed in confusion and was
heard to say: 81 hope the newspapers
don't get hold of that"
just what means were used to smooth
the rufiled spirits OF the nifty penned w
members wasn't made known, for il was
behind closed doors that the meeting OF
1000 women thrashed out the matter.
But another storm inside grew to such
proportions that little squalls burst
through the doors and spent Themselves
rushing up and down the halls.
The trouble was over the proposal of
Mrs. Anita G. Brooks that the name OF
Central Park be changed to Woodrow
Wilson Park. because as Mrs Brooks
explained, of MIR Wilson's wise and far
sighted craftsmanship in dealing with
the Mexican situation" and because the
park wasn't central.

is published cried Mrs. Frank Stratton
after the resolution had been read
through amid continuous Kisses and calls
