with great power the hypocrisy and
bigotry of formal religion. The story
Is far from being an easy one to tell,
but its structure Is without blemlsh,
and the sparkling sub-titles help ev-

BY F. o. VAN CALDER.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Jan. 5.-We |
came here from Stockholm, Dec, so, !
and are to remain until Friday, Jan |
Z, when we 90 through Germany by |
rail to The Hague The government !
at Washington refused to give US pass |
ports through Germany, or any other
belligerent country, and the American
ministers here and in Stockholm, in
accordance with instructions, said we |
could not go through Germany. This
forced US to ignore the country which
should have been first to help party
of American citizens, and ask Ger
many to grant US the courtesy of free
passage through their country. This
has been done, and today both Ger
many and Holland have endorsed this
privilege upon our passports. We are
not inclined to find any fault, but must
be pardoned for believing that Amer
lean citizenship would not suffer in
the estimation of the people over here
if the United States government was
less inclined to say it cannot do GER
tain things before it has at least tried
The expedition has been received
here, as at Stockholm, with greatest
enthusiasm. Because Of proximity to
belligerent countries and a desire to
remain absolutely neutral, no public
meetings of any character are permit
ted Because of this, all of our big
meetings here have been given under
the auspices of clubs, schools and
newspapers. There have been many
big receptions and banquets, attended
by the highest class OF people here,
many members of the nobility being
in the list of guests or hosts.
We will arrive in The Hague on the
Sth, and will then meet with 10 dele
gates from Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Spain and Switzerland. These dele
gates. together with the 60 Of us Of
the Ford party who are voting mem
bers, will elect five members from
each country as a ''temporary-perma-
nent' committee which will establish
headquarters either at The Hague or
at Stockholm. These members are to
remain there and use their friendly
offices in an attempt to get the gov
ernments of neutral countries to call

The Ford party will be disbanded al
The Hague, Jan. -, and on that date
we will all take passage for the United
States on the Holland-American line

of the best passenger steamships now
crossing the Atlantic. We have to
cross the south part of the North sea
and go through the English channel.
While going through the mine fields
and the submarine fields, we are ad-
vised, every one of us will be assigned
to a certain life boat and must not
attempt, in case of having TO leave the
ship, to get into any other than the

Farmers Reaping Harvest
The farmers of Denmark are the IL
vored sons of fortune just now. They
know how to farm, grow produce,
quantities of pork, eggs and butter,
and export most of it. Butter sells at
retail for 40 cents in our money, but
the common people use gravies and
the hotels serve margarine" Flesh"
sell for from SO to 60 cents a pound
and is eaten plentifully because Of the
high prices Of -four.
The cooperation idea is worked to
the limit by the farmers They have
their organizations, both for selling
and buying; have their own store,
their own banks, and are teaching the
rest of the agricultural world how to
put real business intelligence into the
science of farming.

ON THE JEALOUSY OF WOMAN
That Is Her Weapon, Charm and Wor'
ry, and Isn't the Same Kind as
the Masculine.

In ordinary times, when no world
movements stimulate, the chief exas-
peration Of woman resides in jealousy.
It differs from male jealousy, for the
male is generally possessive, the fe-
male competitive. | suspect that Euri-
pides was generalizing rashly when he
said that woman is woman's natural
ally. She is too sex-conscious for
that, and many Of US have observed
the annoyance of mother when her
son weds. Competition is always vio-
lent, so much SO that woman is gen
orally hooking or angry II man
praises ever so slightly another wom-
an. II she is young and able to make
a claim on all men, she tends to be
still more virulent because her claim
is on all men. This is partly due to
the marriage market and its restric-
lions, but it Is also partly natural No
doubt because 1t is natural, woman
attempts to conceal that jealousy, ma
ture being generally considered ig-
noble in the civilized world. In this
respect we must accept that an as
sumption of GOODNESS Is considered
means of enticing man. 1t may we'll
be that, where woman does not exhib-
1t Jealousy, she is with mastery skill
suggesting to the man a problem:
why Is she not jealous? On which fol-
lows the desire to make her jealous,
and sntanglement.-W. L. George.

MICE DAMAGE YOUNG TREES
Expert of Ohio College Of Agriculture
Recommends Removal Of All
Litter Around Trunks.

The damage to trees, particularly
young trees. from the gnawing of mice
during the winter time is very great.
Last winter in particular there was
an unusual abundance of field mice.
When the snow thawed, the burrows
of mice could be seen extending in all
directions.
Many young trees planted in sod or
where manure or mulch came closely
around their bases, we're completely
girdled by these pests. As a precau,
tionary measure Professor Paddock of
the Ohio College Of Agriculture recon-
mends that litter of all kinds be re-
moved from around the trunks OF
young trees, and that a siX-inch mound
of earth be thrown about the trunks OF
such trees. This protection Of earth
also safeguards to a certain extent
against winter injury.
One does not want to go to the other
extreme, however, and remove all GOV.
ering from the young tree roots Rab-
bits are always present and the posi-
bility Of injuries from them should also
be guarded against
One of the ways to prevent rabbits
from gnawing trees is to protect the
trunks with some form of tree protec-
tor. This may either be cylinder of
flne-meshed woven wire, or strip of
wood veneer. In some ncighborhoods
it is the practice to wind the trunks or
trees with cloth.

lesson roads are constructed upon ap-

department of agriculture furnishes
the services of an engineer, and the
local communities are required TO fur'

constructed to determine the relative
merits and values of the various types
of road construction, and of the vari.
Gus preparations and materials for use
in road construction, In certain in.
stances the Office pays only portion
of the cost Of these roads and the
