when. as she was about to tearfully
dismiss the guests, he appeared. toun-

knew-she was a woman of spirit
how near she came to dismissing him.
Then there was the time that he
pretended that his hister Dora and
her husband had been killed in q
railroad accident and that he and his
wife would have to rear the six chill
dren.
"Brutally coarse" she called it.
Mrs. Bobson never laughed at her
husbands jokes not considering
them funny-and on one particularly
gloomy day in early spring, after a
shock that aggravated her almost past
endurance, she decided that he had
reached the limit.

THE ALLIES VIEW
B, Albert w. Bryce

How can American citizens of
Germany descent fail to see where
Berlin has blundered?
They know this country from
having lived in it. They know our
friendship for those of German blood
among us has endured for genera
tions unbroken-rooted in common
interests of every sort
They know our history They
nation have been with Great Britain
"a fact that has inevitably bred in
many American minds latent dis
trust of British motives.
Earlier in the present struggle we
found ourselves affronted by Eng
lands assumption of the right to
hold UP and search our ships Last
October The Evening World called
attention to the fact that British
men-of-war We're virtually blockad-
ing the Port of New York. OF late
we have more than once had to come
to the rescue of American vessels
seized as British prizes.
The continuance of such acts on
the part of England might event
ually have formed from us a protest
determined as that we now address
to Germany.
Why didn't the Prussian war
makers see this and wait? How
could they think that outrasing
American rights would help them?
German pressure upon this country
could never in a thousand years in
duce us to demand a modification of
Great Britain's blockade-to the
end that Germany might strengthen
her own.
