Russia face to face with militant de-
mocracy, with revolution and with
civil war, what easier solution Of the
ruling classes difficulties could there
be than setting Ulsterites and Nation
alists in Ireland and reyolutionists in
Russia and social democrats In Ger
many and France to killing one an
other by wholesale?
Anyone who wishes to believe that
the rulers and diplomats OF Europe
sent their people to war over the as
sassination Of princeling or the Vi
olation OF a treaty Of neutrality or
to abolish militarism or for any al
truistic or sentimental reason Is, OF
course, entitled TO his belief.

FABLE OF THE WICKED TURTLE

A wicked turtle had for years been
troublesome to the inhabitants of the
marsh in which he dwelt. He bit
the legs off frogs. ate fish with a
relish, and occasionally grabbed hold
Of snake and held on until 1t thun-
dered.
Finally the animals held a court
and tried the turtle on the charge
Of murder. The turtle was there,
with his harveyized shell In perfect
repair and covered with moss an
inch thick. He apparently enjoyed
the deliberations of the judicial body
and was observed to smile at yarl-
GUS times.
The judgment Of the court was
that he should be hanged by the neck

m HE British have been pre-
VI sumptious in their an
nouncements regarding
the Nebraskan. The moment
the accident was learned Of the
English admiralty announced
that the ship had been torpedo
ed by a German submarine.
Yesterdays news reports from
London stated the English show
surprise that their statement
should be questioned in any
manner.
Now why should England as
sumo the guardianship of the
United States and take upon
herself to make announcements
for this country. The Ameri-
can government is capable of
investigating the Nebraskan
affair and Of determining in so
far as may be determined the
truth about how the Nebraskan
came TO be hit.
1t may be the Nebraskan
was hit by a German torpedo
or by a floating mine. Again
it might have been hit by an
English submarine or mine, ac-
cidentally or otherwise. The
facts thus far published place
the cause in doubt and it may
never be known just how or by
whom the ship was disabled.
Meanwhile it is safe to say
the American people will re-
gard the English government as
rather brash in getting 50 busy
with their cocksure announce
ments upon the subject. They
are plainly striving to create
anti-German sentiment in this
country and if would not be
amiss if they should be inform
ed that the verdict regarding
the Nebraskan will be made up
in this country. not in London.

Among the measures Mr..
Barnes would prohibit are a
minimum wage law and a law
the rules of pro
cedure for political parties.
When Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor Of New York he was in
formed by Barnes that if the
then governor persisted in
looking upon current subjects
from the standpoint of consci-
enee he, Barnes, could not CO.
operate with him.
From this it may be inferred
that the Barnes opposition to a
minimum wage law and to the
reform of political parties is
not influenced by anything so
tawdry as the merits of the
case. Politicians of the Barnes
stripe generally know who but
ters their bread.

Pictorial Reonrd Of War

No history that ever will be writ
ten about the great world war now
raging will be quite as complete and
striking as the huge collection OF pho
tographs, bearing on every conceiv-
able phase of the conflict, that is be-
ing made by the general staff OF the
German army. Already more than 90
OO0 reproductions that range from
soldiers in the trenches to wounded
men in the hospitals have been gath
cred together and filed away for pres
ent or future reference. The collec-
lion is constantly growing, and re-
Iuires a staff of men to keep in order
and supervise This pictorial record
)f the war is the finer because the gov
eminent is able, through the rules
which it lays down for all photogra-
phers who go to the front, to secure
1 copy Of every picture that is made,
by amateurs or professionals The
general staff. therefore, has been able
70 pick and choose for its own gal
Iery the cream Of everything pictorial
hat concerns the war and has ac-
luired, not only accurate and inter-
esting representations but photo
graphs that in a great many cases are
artistic in the extreme.

PROPER CARE OF EMBROIDERY
Articles viii Not Wear Well If They
Are Not Given the Attention
They Require.

Many women complain that their
embroidered linens do not wear we'll.
These women, however, confess, after
they have been questioned, that they
do aot take the proper care of their
embroidered articles.
lii the first place, tits mistake to
put embroidered pieces in with the
'egular wash. They should be washed
by themselves in an earthen bowl, TO
avoid the possibility of rust or other
stain. Fairly hot water and pure
soap should be used and the material
should be washed quickly.
The soiled portions of the linen
should be rubbed gently between the
hands and not rubbed on board.
After rinsing the articles in clean
water. lay each piece fiat between two
Try towels or thick linen cloths. Roll
the piece up in these, SO that no part
Of the embroidery can touch any other
part Of the same linen. Leave for ten
Or lfteen minutes. then lay the piece,
