be ready for war. Such a stimulus to
greater ornaments we an should de-
plore, because of their burden upon
the peoples of the countries affected
ana because Of the temptation TO war
involved on their maintenance"
Defends President Wilson.
Mr. Taft said the administration
had been criticised because 1T did not
protest against a violation OF internal
tional law committed by one set Of
the peitlgerenrs against the others"
He upheld the Administrations atti-
tude and pointed aasa that protests
like those proposed must inevitably
and materially injuro our attitude Of
neutrality without accomplishing any
good.
Therefore" he continued, while
[ sympathize with the BClgians in
this war, whose country, without any
fault of theirs, has been made its
bloody center, / approve and COM
mend to the full the attitude Of
President Wilson in declining to con-
slider the evidence brought before
him in respect 10 atrocities IN Bel
gium and 10 express an opinion on
the issues presented. A similar deci-
sion with respect to the application
of the German government TO have
him investigate the evidence of the
use of dum-dum bullets, was equally
sound.
we are not sitting as judges Of
ISSUES between countries In Europe in
this great war we are seeking to
maintain strict neutrality and until
our decision IS invoked with an
agreement to abide by our Judgment
and recommendation for settlement.
we need not emhroil ourselves by Of
ficial expressions Of criticism or APP
prevail OF the acts Of the participants
in the war"

CORREC SPELLING

Did it ever "Cur t. You what poor
spoilers we are; and what seems to be
more lamentable is that the nelple are
growing worse III this respect. Take
up ore Of your own compositions and
read it careful Y ana count the mis-.
spelled words. You may be surprised
10 know the number that you have mis-.
spelled, We presume there IS some
reason for our being poor spoilers.
The English language is composite in
the extreme and the pronunciation Of
many words would never in the world
be guessed by the spelling. But cor.
rect spelling is arbitrary. What usage
saws is correct is correct and so Web.
ster and the other Dictionary makers
write it down that way and you and
are helix to a very strict observance.
ArtemuS Ward used to dispute this
right to common usage and used to
say, Il have as much right to spell
word the way it is pronounced as Web.
Ster has to spell a word the way it is
not pronounced"
1t has been said there is no great
honor in being a good SpeIler but on
the other hand person is often greatly
diShOnored by being a bad SpelIer.
The point is we ought to watch our
spelling more.
Here are two sentences we have
found containing several words which
are commonly met with and which are
often misSpelled Now just as a test
suppose you hand this to a friend and
ask him to dictate the sentences to you
and you write down the words and see
how many You mis-Spell. Here are the
sentences i
