BUT THERE is NO
WATCH ON THE RHINE
Robert Shackleton, in the Saturday Eve
lnn De

I think the oldest feature OF the entire
situation Is the fervid enthusiasm of the
Germans for The Watch on the hin
for In the sense in which they mean 1.-THE
defense OF the Rhine against France
there is nc Watch on the Rhine at all,
that river, 30 far as France is concerned,
being entirely within the German boun-
dairy lines.
The Germans do not watch the Rhine
where 1t flows masqueradingly into Hol-
WAL. and they do not think of it as
needing watching where it flows through
broad areas OF Germany on each side; nor
do they particularly think of it where It
forms the boundary against Switzerland,
and they forget all about 1t in Its upper
course.
To all Germans there Is no Watch on
the Rhine except against France, and they
have gone on singing and talking about It
as though they had quite overlooked the
fact that the acquisition of Alsace put
the Rhine. SO far as france Is concerned,
entirely within German possession.
However, that only meant thai they
knew all along, as the French knew all
along, that there was to be another con-
fict. with Alsace and Lorraine once more
as a principal stake. That is why, in
Berlin, they sang ode Wacht am Rhein"
on hearing that wal was declared; and
why, at the same time, in Paris, they were
madly tearing off the mourning crepe
that had SO long swathed the colossal
statue of Strasburg in It's place IN the
superb circles of French cities, the Place
de la Concorde.

ALARM THAT WAS NEEDLESS
Mothehrs of Soldier Boys Exercised
Themselves Without Cause Over

The days of waiting for the word to

the pathos and humor which accom-.
pany h~igh-tension times. On the eve
OF entraining when the mothers had

avenue side, the back door. Here they
surged at full tide.
AS a heavy truck backed up they
shifted the strong odor of coffee. The
wagon was piled with sacks Of 1t. One
of the mothers turned a sorrowful face
to her companion.
What! Eevery one of those bags full
Of %coffee?" she asked. ooh, dear! Cot
fee makes Alfred so nervous he can't
sleep a wink"
Then came an enormous bread wag-
on following the coffee load into the
dark arnory. The smell of newly
baked bread f1oated through the over
wrought group.
"All that fresh bread?' queried an
other mother. You mean warm bread,
just cut of the oven? Well, 1 can see
where Herbert is sick right away. If
there is II thing he can't eat it is
new bread"
She borrowed Il pencil. The mes
sage on the card to be relayed to the
soldier by the door guard read: "Her-
bert, don't let me hear of your eating
any of this warm, fresh bread. You
know you will be ILL.,"

The Chicago Tribune had a story last
Sunday Of a man who had been a street
car conductor for IS years, and the men
and women who had ridden on his car,

A reporter went to interview him, to learn

He felt that he had been successful in

ANATOMY From Experlence.

The former big league baseball man
ager, who had been canned because
the team finished last as usual, was
taking a civil service examination in
order to secure a political Job. He
was amazed ut the list Of fool ques-
tons on the examination paper. He
didn't know the distance from the
earth to the moon, SO he passed that
one up. And he could not describe a
syZygy, so he called that test a loser.
But the third question interested him.

Merchant Submarines,
From the Baltimore Sun.

avn wv odIl.
1t IS very much to be hoped that the re.
ports regarding German submarine mer-
a vessels are true and that one of
them viii shortly enter this port.
Their cargo capacity cannot be very
great, and even though large numbers of
them should ply between American and
German ports they probably would not
appreciably affect the rigor Of the British
blockade, although they might lake to
Germany's articles of small bulk which
she greatly needs.
But the great thing about them from
our standpoint is that they would give
the people of this country a chance to
demonstrate the sincerity Of their neutral
ity. The German mind has been prone to
believe that the sale OF munitions to the
allies by the. people of this country has not
been merely the exercise OF an undoubt-
ed neutral right, but has been due to sym
pathy for Germapy's enemies. The sub
practical transportation agency, will show
the contrary.
