SOLDIERS PLAY PEEKAeoo.

How Tommy Atkins and a German
soldier played peekaboo around a
straw stack and ended by each peace
ably leaving for his own trench with
an armful of straw is related In let
ter to his family by member of a
Landcaster regiment.
"At Armentieres we stopped and dug
trenches so close to the German lines, :"
he writes. that one Of their patrols
shouted in English to a party of our
transports bringing up the rations.
Here you fools. you are going right
into the German trenches
when you are fighting, you go
nearly wild with rage. But during the
lulls you cool down and think about
other things. So thought I would go
out into the field and get some straw
to make myself comfortable.
81 was pulling out the straw on one
side of the stack when saw a German
soldier peeping around. I had left my
gun behind. What If he would shoot
me or take me prisoner? To see which
way he was coming peeped around
again. He peeped, and then we both
jumped back. Then I began to won
der whether he also was unarmed. The
next time we saw each other we both
felt the chances we're safe. So there
we were, he on one side and I on the
other, each pulling at the stack. Then
we turned our backs on each other
and each went to his trench with arms
clasping a big bunch of straw, He
said nothing, and I said nothing. II
we had brought our guns 1t would
have been question of the best man
But as it was. it never. occurred to
us to settle 1t with our fists. London

MOTHERS PENSIONS
CURE FOR POVERTY
WOULD SOLVE SEvEN-ElGHTHS
OF CHARITY PROBLEMS DE-
cLAREs FORMER JUDGE.
(By Florence E. Yoder.)

MOtnerS pensions would solve sew
en-eighths of the charity problems and
poverty in the United States.
The purpose underlying mothers
pension laws, active in several states
in the Union, is that of preventing the
breaking up of the home when, on &C
count of death or disability, the sup
port of the natural breadwinner of
the family is removed.
In the opinion of DR.. Charles Gin
ton Swisher, professor of history at
George Washington University, and
Judge William De Lacy, former judge
of the Juvenile court, the only plaus-
ible remedy for the evident sore spot
in our social life, is mothers pensions.
Remedy Is In Pensions.
There is only one conclusion to
draw from the comparison of the
cases presented as Christmas oppor-
tunities for public charity In the pa
pers," said Judge De Lacy when inter-
viewed on the subject, "and that is
the remedy is mothers pensions"
"a comparison, he continued, will
lay bare the fact that seyen-eighths
OF the cases are the same-poverty
resulting from the fact that mother
with minor children is in need of
support If dependent mothers spell
poverty in the United States, and
mothers pensions have been success
full in making dependent mothers and
families self-supporting and respecting
citizens, have We not club right at
hand which will solve seven-eighths
per cent Of the poverty In this country
What Is Presented.
THE Christmas opportunity in its
present form is the elimination of the
systematic attempt on the part of the
charities to make money go as far as
it can in mitigating poverty, crime,
and death.
1T therefore presents in compact
the, case of poverty in the United
States as it stands today, and asks for
the most intelligent and evidently con-
elusive remedy, pension for the
mother for the period Of a year of
more.
In several States we already have
mothers pensions and they are doing
the work of home conservation and
citizen building. They are a success.
The statement of DR.. Charles Swish
er, Of George Washington University,
is decided In its ratification of the
mothers pension as powerful remedy
for manifest social disorder.
THAT the mothers pension, judging
from comparison Of the opportunities
in the different papers, is the answer
to much Of the poverty and even of
crime in the United States is very
evident" said DR.. Swisher "The peo-
pie of the United States could admin
lister to the needs OF the community
in which they live, though the mothers
pension in the hands of the govern
ment far more fairly, and far cheaper.
than through spasmodic, individual dc"

Son of Religious Adviser of Wilhelmina Visits Wash
 ington After Conference With German Officials

Washington, June Wan Ghell Gelde- meester son of the religious adviser to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, by a brief visit to Washington, after conferences in Berlin with high German officials, has set in motion much speculation as to the possibility of peace in Europe
 MT. Geldemeester it became known toz day saw Dr. Von Jagow. the German foreign secretary, and other members of the imperial ministry shortly after the Lusitania was sunk, and received certain impressions concerning the German attl- tude toward the war and the ultimate making of peace. With the knowledge though not with the authority of the Ger man officials, he started for Washing ton in the hope that informally he could portray German feeling in official quar- ters On his arrival here last week he visited Count Bernstorff, the German am- hassador. The ambassador empha sized tonight that MT Gedemeester carried no credentials from Germany and had ab- solutely no official connection with his government.
 Mr. Geldemeester left Washington Sat urday without seeing any prominent of fioials of the American government. He started on a trip to New York, Chicago and other cities with the idea of con vincfng the editors of German-American newspapers of the help they can renoer Tn promoting better and more friendly re- lations between Germany and the United
