THE RIGHT NOT TO LAUGH.

If one were to accuse you of pois-
oning your grandmother you would
presumably smile in unruffied fash
ion and go about your affairs with
out feeling any burden Of accusa-
ton But if one accused you of
lacking a sense of humOr, you would
first of all resent it Indignantly; and
Furthermore. for an indefinite time
to come you would be conscious of
desire to disprove the charge.
scrutinizing anxiously every phase
that might conceal some subtle
hidden test, emitting now and then
forced laughs on suspicion. Per
haps you boast your emancipation
in many fields where public opin-
ion customarily rules. You wear a
straw hat when you please: you OBJ
ject TO the insignia Of mourning; you
flaunt your readiness to discuss any
subject in mixed compa ny; you do
or do not serve butter at your din
ner table; vet you are afraid you
may not laugh in the right place.
Many a one who proclaims his
right to individuality Of opinion
fears 10 assert an equally inalien-
able right not to laugh. Deep in
his heart he breads the whitening &C
cupsation that he lacks a sense OF
humOr. Burgess Johnson in Harp
er's magazine for April.

PARIS. March Newspapers
express the opinion that victory for
the entente powers is absolutely as
sured by the new agreement entered
into by eight allied nations to Sc
cure unity OF military action, unity
of economic action and unity Of
diplomatic action
In the future there will be no
succession of unrelated actions on
the part of the various nations" SAYS
the Matin "A single wish. a single
act will meet every need. Stabiliza-
ton of freight rates and equal dis
tribuuons OF oversee transportation
constitutes one OF the most import
ant steps toward mutual victory yet
achieved. England has held an
overwhelming advantage in maritime
tonnage. from which she could have
been benefited immensely. but with
admirable self denial she readily
consented to this arrangement"
Stephen Pnchon. ex-foreign min
lister of France, writing in the Petit
Journal says that, if the resolutions
are now translated into action a ire
mendOus step Will have been taken
toward a quick and decisive victory
Germany will never know defeat
until she is attacked on all fronts, in
both the economic and military
strength" says the Figaro. when
that happens then, and not till then,
will the downfall Of this nation be
certain and liberty and life in Eu-
rope will be re-esta blished without
fear of tyranny Thus the resolu-
tons adopted yesterday open the
