MY FAVORITE HERO

MY favorite hero is a man l knew
when he was a boy. He belonged to a
Dig FAMILY, and his parents were very
ordinary people.
But he has made a man of himself
not a great man, but a useful. well-to-
90 and worthy citizen of a town of
correct; he dresses we'll: he is a man
among men, and has such education as
gentleman should have, all of 1t ac-
quired out of school.
He has accomplishments no more
than anyone may accomplish. He has
stormed no Alps he has simply work
ed and behaved. and saved, and been as
Intelligent, fair and polite as everyone
should be.
1t pleases me that a boy who had as
poor start as any boy I ever knew
has been able to succeed easily and ma
turally. The thing that distinguishes
this country over any other is that a
may become well-to and distinguish

BEATS OFFICER

In a struggle with a man whom he
attempted to arrest, Park Officer H. A
Sears, 1852 North Fourth street, was
kicked, bitten and badly bruised. The
man escaped, and the park officer fired
at him three times. One bullet, it is
believed, struck the fugitive.

INDIAN HUMOR

In a general way Indian children
are reached most easily by situations
In nature which develop true humor-
create genuine smile. In many books
the personification of natural objects
is peculiarly adapted to the Indian
mind. A great many stories of ami
mails develop situations that are ex-
tremely humorous to Indians. I re-
member one of an eagle who mistook
an old warrior cat for a rabbit The
eagle saw Sir Thomas asleep on a rab-
bit burrow and swooping down, lifted
the cat In his talons. to his own great
sorrow. My pupils never tired of that
story. was obliged to repeat and
repeat it.
When I discovered the taste of
Indian pupils for the personification
of natural objects, tried few of the
Uncle Remus stories on them, but
with Indifferent results. I was not
long in determining the reasons why
Unc' Remus did not appeal to them.
The Negro dialect was almost an addi-
tional language for them to learn. I
had to translate the dialect into plain
English when they enjoyed it much
better.
The teacher who cannot enjoy a
hearty laugh with his school, who
keeps everything in straight laces. is
robbing his school of one of its inalien-
able rights-the pursuit of happiness.
Not all the happiness of life comes
with laugh, but laughter is nearly
the invariable accompaniment of
appiness.-Southern Workman.

1t is fact. however, positive

British Minister Of
War Trade Replies
to the Sweden | remiie7
Lord Robert Cecil Declares England Anxious to
Restore Ancient Friendship and
Intercourse

OF neutral merchant vessels are at the
bottom of the seas. thousands of tons
of cargo have been destroyed and all
this without any pretense of judicial
inquiry and often for the most tiimsy
reasons.
Peaceful citizens of all countries of
both sexes have been foully murdered
at the bidding of German militarism
Others have been mutilated. Others
have been exposed in open boats to
the fury Of the seas. 1t is strange that
these matters should have been for
gotten.
Merits Of Blacklist
LAS to the merits of the blacklist
controversy J explained before that
the blacklist is an attempt to prevent
British subjects from trading with en-
envy firms or with firms that trade in
the interests of the enemy. For the
Swedish prime minister or any neu-
trail to claim that we should compel
British firms to help enemy trade when
their country is engaged in a life and
death struggle, is a claim for which
there is no precedent and which can

eminent to prevent its own subjects
from helping the enemy is to violIte
no rule of law or equity or morals and
is an elementary preca taken in
the interests of national safety.
with regard to commercial measures
taken against trade with Germany
through Sweden. Great Britain and her
allies are ut one in their determination
to use naval forces in preventing the I'M
port of goods to enemy countries. No
one surely can complain of that. 1t Is
impossible for us to permit unrestricted
imports into neutral countries by which
such neutral countries become the chan
nels of supply for the enemy At the
same time we are and always have been
anxious to facilitate the import into neu-
trail countries, including Sweden. of all
goods needed for home requirements, al
lowing for the normal development of in
dustries. provided that satisfactory guar
antees are obtained either from the I'M
porters or a government body that no
goods in any form will be re-eXported TO
the enemy 1t follows that the unre-
stricted import Of goods which would re-
lease home products of similar nature,
for export. cannot be agreed to by US.
That for all practical purposes will be the
same thing as importing goods through
Sweden into Germany.
Lord Robert said that the best plan for
arranging imports is undoubtedly through
agreements such as exist with Holland.
Norway and Denmark, where all goods
are controlled by central association or
by associations of traders interested In
the earious industries. This plan provides
for the distribution of goods to reliable
traders and prevents corners for the rails

England's READINGS

To the assertion of the Swedish pre-
! mier that Great Britain is arbitrarily
eliminating the imports into Sweden
Lord Robert said that Great Britain
always has been and is now ready to
enter in fresh negotiations for a free
trade agreement with Sweden, in which
case allowances would be made for all
of Sweden's requirements which he ad-
mitted, are greater now than before
the war owing to the development of
her industries. The minister of war
trade declared incidentally that the
war blacklist violates no rule or law
of equity After saying that he was
glad to read the premier's statement
that Sweden's actions had been dictat-
ed solely by that Kingdoms own neces-
sites and future welfare and not for
any partisan reasons, Lord Robert
said:
I'VE are fighting this war to vindi-
cate the rights of all nations to de-
velop themselves freely and unhinder-
ed by the menace of military agrees
sion. We ask no favors from neutrals
But we do ask that they should not
hinder our belligerent rights in the life
or death struggle which we and our
allies are waging.
Will Fight to Finish
, THE prime minister states that he
is opposed to any mediation by Swe-
den at present as it might compromise
Germany and arouse the suspicious of
the Allies. For Germany | am not in a
position to speak. but for ourselves and
our allies | can say that we. who did
not wish this war and who entered it
reluctantly. are determined now that
we are in it to obtain a victory which
will insure lasting peace by showing
the enemy that wars of aggression will
not be allowed to succeed.
THE prime minister says that he is
in harmony with the American pro-
test against the blacklist. but ] OBJ
serve with some surprise that he makes
no allusion TO his attitude concerning
the American protest against German
submarine atrocities, surely a far
graver matter for neutrals. The Ger
man submarine policy is in one as
pect an outrage upon the commercial
interests of neutral nations. Hundreds
