Restoration of Belgium.

NtoAoi dtioH Oi DeiRium.
A direct intimation TO Germany
that Belgium must be restored is
seen in some quarters as one Of the
conditions Of mediation. The Ian
guage used UNFOLDING the integrity
Of small nations, it is declared. could
hardly apply to any other situation.
Berlin's reaction to this part Of the
Presidents speech is being eagerly
awaited.
On the other hand, President Will
sons inclusion Of the freedom Of the
seas" which has been the keystons
OF all the contentious between Eng
land and Germany, has caused no lit
tie surprise. AS on previous occa-
sions, the Presidents remarks on
this subject lack completeness Of def
milton. and it is difficult 70 know how
far he would make the United States
a party 20 Germany's contention.
II the President seriously hopes to
make this contention a part Of his
price for mediation, II is pointed out
In diplomatic quarters here. there Is
little chance Of common ground. The
Allies. and especially England. have re-
pudiated the slightest suggestions that
would make for the curtailmen. Of their

II is remembered that Secretary
Lansing's inclusion OF 8 phrase on the

displeasure In England. Many British
papers declared that President Wilson
was openly challenging British sea
power and putting himself IN virtual

Mitchell had been preached to the Gov

Mayor, ard according 70 one man VINO

Whitman said that he would welcome
the opportunity TO investigate the ac-
tons OF the Mayor.
II was impossible last night 20 learn
the names Of the men who will make
the charges. IL was learned, however,
that one of Brcoklyn's foremost citi-
zens. a non-Catholic. was the leader in
the movement and that R prominent
rabbi, a high Episcopal dignitsry and
at least five men we'll known in the
affairs Of the city would act as the

IT'S EASY TO DIE
Ohio Man Dead an Hour Tells
of His Experience.
Everything a Blank Before He
Was ReSurrected.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 5.-"When you
die everything is just a blank" says
Harry TOMS, who was shocked with
electricity so badly that he was
dead for an hour before he was re-
vived by the use of a lung motor.
TOMS stepped on the loose live wire
on an elevator at the National Screw
and Tack company's plant and ordi-
nary efforts to revive him failed. His
heart had stopped beating and respira-
ton had ceased for an hour before
pulinotor was obtained and applied.
Here's what he said about dying when
he recovered consciousness at st.
Alexis hospital:
Dying was quick and without pain.
Coming back to life was slow and
painful. When l stepped onto the live
wire it was like a jolt in the back of
erything. Everything was blank
It's Not Hard.
When asked as to his general i'm
preston of dying, TOMS, who is n de-
partment foreman and fairly well edu
Gated. said that while he has no espe-
cial desire to shuttle off this mortal
coil. he is convinced it is much easier
to die and much less painful than to
nearly die and recover.
4 imagine my experience so far as
the pain of dying is concerned, was
similar to that of a soldier who re-
slant death. When the charge of
electricity first went through my foot,
the pain was intense, but only for
second and not any worse than pain
l have experienced in a dentists chair.
OF course, it was a different pain,
sharp needle like stabbing through
every part of my body at once and a
bump on the back of my head that
was awful jolt.
He Saw Stars.
Il tell you, 1 saw stars and while L
was thinking about how badly 1 was
hurt 1 stopped thinking. 1t was as if
1 was in a brilliantly lighted room
and all the lights were turned out
suddenly. l suppose I was dead then.
Everything continued a blank and
was not conscious of the lapse of
time.
THE next sensation I had was one
of sound. Then suddenly 1 began to
feel pain. The feeling that 1 was be-
ing pricked by a million needles re-
turned. I felt uncomfortably hot
Il could not move. My left foot
seemed on fire. I felt more pain and
it seemed unbearable. 1t was much
worse than the pain I originally suf-
fered Then gradually l began to dis
Germ objects about me, my. eyes per-
forming their natural function again.
Then l knew I was alive

ployed by Mrs. Wilson to protect her
interest in him against the over
whelming charms of the home girls.
Personally, we could never under
stand why any man should carry
enough money to make picking his
pockets worth while.
There are many ways of making a
fool of oneself. One of the most OBJ
noxious is to try to break into
crowded hall where some public char
acter is making a speech.

of the word "scorn' give a street car

But scorn the weak servility

it is a matter for prideful Boosting if

This week produces a much sought
opportunity to settle definitely the re-
spective claims of the goosebone and
the grounding.
We have it from a man who has
the bone to back up his assertions
that we will have a mild middle of

weather after this spell. There is no
| gainsaying that the grounding, if he
| has eyes to see, saw his shadow on
Wednesday.
We leave the discussion at this point
and check the observation of results
to the group of citizens who do not
know what to do in the interval be-
tween the time they get up and the

the night that Dad. who sticks to the
o. f. nightshirt, essayed by placing his

Slants

The gold brick territory does not
seem to be all worked out yet. Out
at Pratt they have purchased pair
of bloodhounds. Not only that, they
have tested them out and intend to
use them to catch evildoers.

time in hotels, speaking of the mag
nificence of one of our Kansas hos
telries, says: Yes, they have spared
no effort to make it as little like home

Col w. +. Cody is now at liberty to
retire. His further appearance will
mean nothing to the people of Topeka
after having seen Judge Yates in the
presidential parade in Democrat
hat.
For a bunch that has had no oppor-
tunity in two decades to exhibit a
president you will have to hand it to
the Democrats. They sure put up a
fine parade.
In order to avoid the appearance
of being unduly critical we start this
paragraph by saying that we hold
motion pictures in high regard as an
excellent pastime for limited incomes.

queer to us to see (reel five) the
