 Mexico is to be compensated for Lower California by ceding to it Ari- zona, New Mexico and part of Texas
 Russia will receive Alaska.
 "The Panama Canal will be de- clared free, while the Western states, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Colorado will be consolidated into an imperial crown domain of the Ger man empire.
 Though these 'satisfactions' are to be acquired in a concerted cam paign, each of the several nations is to effect the occupation of it's own allotted territory.
 This, it is asserted, would best meet the rights and interests of the different nations of old Europe, as it would safeguard their nationals un- der their respective flags.
 Whatever may be said about this bold solution it should be appreci- ated that in many ways it is more feasible than the three successive partitions of Poland, which neverthe- less are historic facts.
 Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. This alleged tentative understanding of the powers at war may be relegated to imaginative fic- tion, but it is surely not stranger than the sober truth and it might easily take it's form.'
 What is worrying Americans who have seen the document is what the gangsters are going to do with Ne vada, West Virginia and part of Texas. There are several acres of perfectly good land going to waste that might as we'll be parcelled out to some enterprising nation with crowded doorsteps.

cial troubles lowering around and perhaps many other little" troubles also. The girl should be honest and conduct herself in such 8 man. ner that he would have no reason to doubt her loyalty and good inten- tions. The bad feature in this situ- ation is that the man may have an old sweetheart somewhere and the girl may have new sweetheart sometime. I think duty to the new would be sufficient to carry the man through, but am not so sure the girl would come through her hour of trial so safely. At any rate she should tell her husband, and if he could not steady her through he should give her divorce and let her have the man of her choice.
 There is little doubt but that love is a disease and can be cured by fill- ing the void left by the old love with a new love and enough of this worlds goods to keep the wolf from the door.
 Notwithstanding the fact that some one has said, "There is no loss through death, like the loss of the loved one in life," and I do not in- tend to dispute with him, but do not forget to add sufficient of this worlds goods, else the new love may not prove a permanent curt. The feeling of dependence-in the girl-on the man should be at maximum. It is natural for a man to want some one to depend on him.
 Then there is the class of women and men who also look upon the mar riage problem as a great game and go after the best financial and physical proposition they can land. I claim there is little difference be- tween men and women under the same conditions. Of course women are entitled to have the easiest end of the load, just as any female is among the animals, for the average man still clings to the idea that a woman needs protection. I have mo- ticed in many instances that few girls will marry a man unless they think he loves them, but these same girls do not think it necessary for them to love they man. They seem to think it is enough if they like him, and it may be, you cant prove it by me.
 That disposes of everything except how to determine whether sufficient sex harmony exists between the cou- pies as to justify marriage. It would seem that as time goes on this ele- ment must necessarily decrease in important As the parson said, Mo- body ever told me-" so I cannot tell you I think some happy married man will have to furnish more infor- nation on this subject.

NEW YORK: Partition the Uni ted States and award the various states to the warning nations of Flu rope" is the text of most extra ordinary communication recently de- livered to Havas Agency, one of the principal news bureaus in France. The suggestion is written on thick official looking folio paper, without any indication of it's origin, and was delivered to the agency by messen- ger. As Germany is the chief bene- iicary under the suggested partition ing it is suspected that the document came from Teutonic sources. The text of it follows:
 "The United States as the prize for settlement of the present European conflict.
 "It is stated on high authority that suggestions have been made i'll the diplomatic circles of European chan cellories declaring that the easiest so- lution and the one most acceptable to all the warning nations would be the partitioning among them of the United States of America The Uni ted States of America are most in viting prize as compensation for the sacrifices rendered by these nations, and an arrangement on the basis of the respective relations of the differ ent nations is surprisingly practica- ble.
 ''So far from being a visionary scheme for a solution of this great world conflict the fact is only too apparent that only a small part of any struggle now raging would have the effort expended in the sanguin- ary struggle now raging would have sufficed to satisfy all nations in their respective ambitions.
 "A noted diplomat declared his surprise that this idea of the parti- tion of the United States had not emerged sooner, because the land is so largely made up of the constitu- ency of all the warning nations.
 "The tentative idea to satisfy thus the national ambitions of the Euro pean countries at war, instead of prolonging the internecine struggle, is broadly outlined as- follows:
 Great Britain is to occupy New England, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
 France is to get the French parts of Eastern Canada and the states of Louisiana. Mississippi, Alabama, Ar kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
 Germany is to occupy the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 Japan is to take the Pacific coast, the state of Oregon, Upper and Low

Humanity weeps little, laughs a

 He was puzzled and confused in his own
 mind What" he kept saying to him. self are the most important words l that ever come out of a mans mouth? 2? l So he went to the banks of beauti full stream. It was spring. Flowers were in bloom. The air was soft and caressed his nostrils and made them culver. A great moon hung in the sky and in it's
 pale soft. silky radiance the Wise Man ] saw on the opposite bank man and a woman. They sat close together his arms were about her. their lips met and the Wise Man heard softly come across the shimmering water the three magic words: q love youi" T believe" he said, that's my an swer."
 Then he went to the city and to the slums. He saw there the human wreck of a woman-a woman who had slnned. She was dying and he recalled to him. self in the flash of one moment all the
 horrors of that parting life. For be it
 known, the Wise Man knew this wom- an, knew her when she was a happy child. knew her when she was his play mate, knew her when she had a beauti full and happy home and friends and love- And he went to her and took her hand and looked into her dying eyes and she said: Tt might have been" 5. And as he dropped the lifeless hand and turned his back a tear streaked down his cheek.

 And then the Wise Man went to the scene of great catastrophe. A pail hung over the thousands of humans who from morbid curiosity surrounded the place and watched the dead and bleed ing and mangled bodies of the victims being removed There was confusion. The clang of ambulance bells vied with the shouts and shrieks of relatives of the dead. Hysteria. as always, accom- panied Sorrow as she stalked about in the struggling mass of onlookers. And then the first stunning effect began to lose it's hold and the great throng gave way to anger and to criticism. Suddenly on every side of the Wise Man, men burst into speech and hlways they kept saying over and over: '1 told you so,'
 There said the Wise Man, "Is my answer!"
 Humanity is full of streaks and it's biggest streak is yellow. Humanity'y criticism of humanity is the most ter rible scourage God ever gave to man. It has killed more reason In five minutes than the world has developed in 9 centuries. It has always been and aI- ways will be.
