You know one of the finest ways
in the world to avoid unpleasantness
with anyone is to meet everybody
with a smile. 1t takes real man to
smile sometimes. But nobody loves
a crouch. The plain truth is very
few are even interested in your lit
tie troubles. Quit that old habit OF
telling people Il amt much better
today" They don't care a snap
about it if you persist in burdening
them with such remarks some
"steen" times a day. And you will
feel a. whole lot better if you put on
a bright smile and put your feelings
behind the smile to back it up. And,
really, is it your bodily feelings that
made you say you did not feel well,
or was it that note you have due at
the bank next week, and you don't
know where you are going to get the
money to pay it with?

A fellow comes along all out of
humor; got out of the bed on the
wrong side this morning. His cof-
fee was too weak, the ice man didn't
leave any ice, left his umbrella at
the store, ct cetera. So out of sorts
that he forgot to kiss his wife good
bye. When you see him, he talks
short, and then your dander gets up.
One thing always brings forth an
other, and first thing you know he
makes a remark to somebody who
feels just like he does, who will re-
sort to blows-or worse. And then
pile of trouble stacks itself in the
path of the quick-tempered one.
There's plenty of time to think after
it is all over with-oodles Of it. But
the trouble is thinking only makes
it worse then. The thing to do is not
think your honor is at stake every
time you hear little out-of-the-way
remark. The fellow didn't think any
more about what he was saying per-
haps than the fellow did who said he
hoped it would not rain.

GERMANS MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS
 AGAINST RUSSIANS
Short Days and Bad Roads Handicap German Offen- sive Efforts, Declare
 VOn MackenZen

Headquarters. Ninth Germany Army in Poland, December 21.-tBy Courier to Ber- lin and Mail to London, January 1o) Short days, miserable roads and stub bornly resisting enemy, prevent rapid progress in the east. according to General Won Mackenzen, commander of the Ninth German army, with whom the correspond ent of the Associated Press dined this evening. Effective artillery work, with out which no infantry attack against an entrenched enemy is possible, can be car ried on only during five or six hours of daylight Infantry attacks cannot be pressed home in the same short period. The Russians show no signs of breaking and are fighting for each yard of ground between the German army and Warsaw.
 Even after the Russians have been forced from one strong line. as at Wloc- lawok- -Kutno or Lodz, effective pursuit is impossible Long nights give the Rus
 sans time to take off their troops and trains unmolested and to occupy other po- stions equally as strong as those from which they have been elected. For these reasons General Won Mackenzen expects Irogress in the Polish campaign to be slow.
 General Non Mackenzen has fulfilled in the field the executions based on a prom ising career in peace. In the early weeks of the war he was in temporary eclipse,
 rumor attributing to him share of the responsibility for the projected retirement across the Vistula and the abandonment of eastern Prussia to the Russians which led to the retirement of the former army commander and the appointment of Won Hindenburg He retained his command,
 however. and his brilliant work at Tan
 nenburg and at the battle of the Mazurian lakes led to his selection as commander of a newly formed army. For it's achieve ments in the battle of Kutno- Wloclawo by which the Russian right flank in Po-
 land was broken, he received the order of
 Merit and the special thanks of the Elm peror.
 At the outset of the war the Russians
 made more daring use of their artillery in advance positions. but since their heavy losses in guns, the general said, they had been taking as few chances with them as possible. The Russian artillery of the modern type, said General Von Mackenzen, was good the heavy mortars particularly so. The Russians apparently have difficulties now and then with the ammunition supply.
 Far less use is being made of aviators on this front than in the west. Russian aviators, said General Von Mackenzen, were seldom encountered. The German aviators are out at every opportunity but there are few clear days and the flying time is short.
 General Von Mackenzen spoke with ap- preciation of the spirit of the German sol diers, who. although in the trenches and in constant battle during six weeks of
 the Polish winter, were cheerful and en- thusiastic.

FOR THE
 RUSSIAN DEFEAT VOn Mackensen Is Now a Colonel General-Did
 Actual Work

Berlin, January 4-(Correspondence of the Associated Press For his services in the operations about Lodz and Lowicz, Gen. August von Mackensen has just been promoted to the rank of 'generaloberst' tcolonel general by the Emperor. Though Field Marshal von Hindenburg conducted tho campaign against the Russian center in a general way. it rested with General Won Mackensen to move the machinery which drove the Russians behind the Bsura river.
 In the Lodz-Lowicz campaign the forces commanded by the general took 10000 un- wounded Russian prisoners and captured 70 field pieces and 156 machine guns Be fore that General Won Maekensen had distinguished himself fin the fighting about Lipno and Wloclawec. and took also prominent part in the destruc- ton of the Russian Njemen and Narew armies at Tannenberg and in the Masur- ian seas. He then commanded the Sev- enteenth Army corps, which had been stationed at Danzig.
 Following these exploits General Won Mackensen, who has been advanced from the cavalry, was placed in command of the Ninth army and was given the order pour le merits. the highest military dis tinction in the empire.
 General Von Mackensen. whose family is said to be of Celtic extraction, was born at Leipnitz, Saxony, in 1Si9, and is the son of large property owner in that district Ludwig Mackensen. After having studied at the Torgau gymnasium and the Halle university, young August Mackensen entered the army on October 1. 1869, joining the Second Cards du Corps Hussars as volunteer for one year s service He took part in the war of 1S70-

WANT EASIER WAY ID AMENDMENT ID CONSTITUTION
Civic Reform Workers Have Plan For Calling For Con- stitutiOnal Convention
 By Electorate

New York, January 1S.-Prominen.
 civic reform workers soon will la,,neh
 a movement to make amendment of the
 constitution of the United States less
 difficult They have agreed upon a
 method of amendment which will be
 placed before Congress before Febru
 ary l.
 The method was drafted by Prof. Charles A. Beard of Columbia universi.
 ty It provides that a constitutional
 convention can be called by the cleo torate at every fifth presidential ele, tion, composed of delegates in number equal to the full quota of the Senate
 and House. The manner of electing con vention delegates would be prescribed by the states individually It's acts would become effective when ratified by two-thirds of the states.
 It also is proposed that proposed
 amendments be submitted to the states
 upon receiving majority vote instead of the two-thirds new required in each branch of Congress
 The plan is fathered by the commit tee on the federal constitution" with headquarters in Brooklyn. This organi-
 zation is composed of men and women widely known for their work along civic lines. The organizers are Seba Eldredge. editor of the Community Problem Series. and William C. Me
 Kee, secretary of the City club of Brooklyn. Those who have associated themselves with the movement include nr Inl,, A,,1r IL. .-
 American Association for Labor Legis-
 lation; the Rev. Henry A. Atkinson, sec retary of the social series commission

 tional child labor committee. The com
 mittee, in announcing it's plans tonight said it did not hope for immediate sue cess and adds that if the proposed plan can be adopted by 1920 the hopes of the organization will be fulfilled.
 The proponents of the plan will at tempt to impress upon Congress their | belief that the proposition eliminates danger of undue haste in amending the constitution.
 1 Committees are to be formed in al l the states to further the movement.
