U. S. ATTACHES OFFENDED
That's the Reason They Left
Germany, 1t Is Said.

The unconcealed resentment
by German officers of the sale of
American munitions of war to
the allied forces caused the with
drawal of the American army
officers acting as observers of
the German operations, accord
ing to the statement made here
today by one who has been in
touch with events at Berlin.
1t was stated that the German
officers made it a practice to ut
ter rather disagreeable remarks
about American shells in the
presence of American officers.
The latter, it is said, found
themselves unable to remain ST.
lent in the face of insinuations
about the honesty and humanity
Of the American Government
and strOve to convince. their Ger
man hosts that the course of the
United States was justified by
international law and the prac-
tice of centuries.
The result was continual en-
barrassing Incidents which f.
nally proved too much for the
American officers to bear with
dignity and upon consultation
with Washington it was decided
that they had best be summoned
home.
In official quarters no COM
ment is made one way or the
other on this explanation of the
withdrawal of the American
observers. = From the New
York Sun.

1t isn't so bad to take things
as they come, if you only know
what to do with them.
Some people waste entirely
too much time waiting for the
unexpected to happen.
It's all right to rise in the
world, but don't go up by the
skyrocket route.
It's an easy matter to nail a
lie, but you can't always keep it
down.
The age Of miracles may have
passed, but many a man turns
night into day.
Many a mans idea of economy
is to save the pennies and spend
the dollars.
For one man who is too good
Cor his job there are a thousand
whose jobs are too good for
hem.
Many a man who can hear
Pleasure whisper a mile away
can't hear Duty when it shouts
in his ear through a megaphone.
No man acquires the secret of
popularity unless he has learned
to keep his troubles to himself.
We are always inclined to be
lenient with the faults of people
who are bigger than we are.
Somehow or other the fellow
who always says 81 told you so"
never seems to win any bets.
Don't judge of a mans polite
ness till you see him in his own
home.
Unfortunately the fellow who
is always willing to lend a hand
generally has an empty one.
! The opportunities that 90
astray are usually those that
strike other people instead of
coming to us.
When a man looks down on us,
We can't help hoping he will get

If Attorney General Barker
really wants to become COVER

silly speech about when he was
a small, bare-footed boy down
on the farm, and let the rail-

served their time in providing
means by which two-by-fours
have gained political honors. The
