FORCES THAT ARE ETERNAL
Time and Love the Two Things With
Which All on the Earth
Must Reckon.

Time and love are the two forces
that are eternal and ever new. that
cannot be killed or erased. They move
on in cycles for all eternity Without
love this great. beautiful world would
soon wither and decay.
Therefore love is the SUN total of
these things. Ii spells homes, fire
sides. society and civilization. Look
into the tircsidc lamps which should
be kindled in every room in the home.
and if you find the oil of love ebbing
away hurry to replcnish the lamps be
fore the pickering flame goes out.
Many serious faces tell the story of
starving for love, the most precious
and valued thing in the world. This
means you, Mr. Bachelor. If you are
comfortable i'll your library you have
no reason to pat yourself on the back
because you feel that you can get on
without the love which a happy, sym
pathetic companion can bring you. The
time will come when the Pickering
embers will cast their shadows, show
ing you the lost opportunities.
The same advice holds for you, Miss
Bachelor Girl. Do not let your ability
and capacity Of providing for yourself
delude you into thinking that you are
self-sufIicient. Your plans and aspira-
tons may be all you need now. but the
time may come when you will under
stand that it is this thing called love
which keeps a woman's face soft and
her heart young.

AN AMENDMENT TO
PHILIPPINE BILL
TIME FOR RETIREMENT AFTER
NEW FILIPINO LEGISLATURE
WILL BE FIXED.

WashingtOn.-An amendment TO the
Philippine bill. said 10 be acceptable
10 President Wilson, was submitted
by Chairman Hitchcock of the Philip
pine committee
II would provide that not more than
four years nor less than two years af-
ter the meeting OF the new Filipino
Legislature to be created by the
pending bill, the president should
withdraw the sovereignty OF The
United States and proclaim the indie
pendence OF the Filipino people. pro
vided he should find that proper steps
had been taken to secure by peaceful
means an Independent Philippine gov
eminent republican in form, stable In
character" and prepared TO enter into
such binding agreements with the
United States as the president may
deem necessary for the protection of
recognized rights and interests Of
Americans and other nationals in the
islands. The president would be EN-
powered TO reserve naval bases, coal
ing stations and other property re-
uuired by the United States for mill
tary purposes.
The amendment would further pro
vide that. if at any time before the ex
piration OF four years, the president
should find that proper steps had not
been taken to establish an independ
ent government, cor if he should find
1t expedient for reasons affecting the
welfare of the Filipinos themselves, OF
the international relations of the
United States" or il he should be un
able to negotiate agreements for pro
lection of American property, the
president would be authorized to de
lay recognition of Philippine independ
enCe until the American Congress
should further consider the case.
The amendment also would author
lie the president to invite co-opera
ton OF the principal nations of the
world to mutually pledge themselve.
to maintain the Philippine independ
ence against any external force. That
failing, the president would guarantee
independence on behalf OF the United
States alone for five years.
The amendment was attacked by
Republican senators. After arousins
the hopes of the people, Senator Suth
erland prophesied it would mean in
surrection and bloodshed if the presi
dent failed to establish selfgovern

Senator Jones urged that tn

UNITED STATES CAN
BE INVADED EASILY
GENERAL WOOD SAYS TYPHOON
SIGNALS OUT IN MANY
DIRECTIONS.

WaShington.-Tne position OF the
United States in a war torn world
was described to the House military
committee by Maj-Gen. Leonard Wood
as like that of "a ship at sea. with
typhoon signals coming from many di-
rectiOns"
we are living in an era OF war
he said. and gradually are accumu-
lating most of the troubles OF the
world"
Gen. Wood, who appeared at the
committees hearings on the army IN
crease bill, repeated in the main the
testimony he previously had given
before the Senate military committee.
He said it would take an army of a
million and a half TO hold a line from
Boston south. Should conditions at
the close of the war in Europe invite
attack, he declared. any Of the more
powerful of the belligerents could
land 100000 men on American soil In
less than 80 days.
A regular army of 100000, fully
trained and always under arms. with
at least 100000 reserves behind
them. should be provided, he urged. TO
meet this situation. The United
States navy he classed as fourth In
fighting efficiency. and declared it
could not maintain control OF the sea
nor defend the coasts.
While Gen. Wood and Col Edwin r.
Glenn, chief of staff of the Department
of the East, were testifying before
the House and Senate military COM
mittees respectively. Rear Admiral f..
S. Griffin, chief engineer of the navy,
told the House naval committee, con-
sidering navy increases, of the me-
chanical ills to which submarines are
heir and of the problems of finding
suitable engines for battleships and
deStrOyers.
Admiral Griffin said he believed no
foreign power was outsripping the
United States in submarine design
and that, type for type, American
craft were as efficient as any atioat
To show the condition of American
submarines he read a report stating
that they each had done from 1000
to 1000 miles OF surface cruising and
several hundred miles submerged last
year. Their engines were available
for duty approximately 800 days out
of the year, he added.

Status of Japanese Women.

While women now form large pro-
portion of the wage earning popula-
ton of Japan it is largely the result
of economic conditions rather than an
adoption of new theories as to wOm-
ans place. But in the present state of
affairs in Japan it is only economic
independence that can save a woman
from a distasteful marriage, and often
even the avidity to earn a mere pit
lance makes the greatest difference in
n wOman's life. Many progressive
women declare their belief that every
Japanese woman should be given
a training of commercial value for
which there is market. and point to
the fact that even a thorough knowl-
edge of English places a girl on sep
arate plane, giving her weapon to
defend herself in her fight for indie
pendence."

RAIDERS OVER PARIS
KILL TWENTY-FOUR
TWENTY-SEVEN WERE INJURED
BY BOMBS FROM ZEPPELINS-
TEN PLACED IN HOSPITALS.
ANOTHER ALARM SOUNDED
Electric Street Lights Went Out, Po-

Paris.-Twenty-four persons were
killed and ~ injured in the Zeppelin
raid over Paris, according to an otti-
Cial statement.
Thirty French aerOplanes searched
the air above Paris for Zeppelin
raider. of whose appearance warning
had been given. BY the time the Yep
pelin had reached the edge of the city
several of the airmen made out its
pale, yellow shap $4,000 feet from the
earth. Frightened. doubtless. by the
numerous warplaneS rising toward II,
the Zeppelin wheeled and drove at
full speed nOrthward. dropping in its
trail into the darkness a cargo OF
about three and one-half tons of
bombs. Then. continuing its flight at
a great altitude. the airship vanished
Parisians had been warned half an
hour before by fire engines rushing
through the streets trumpeting the
call known as stand to arms," The
electric street lights went out and po-
liCemen cautioned careless household
ers to close their shutters and darken
their windows Immediately. 1t was
close to 10 o'clock and many persons
still were in the streets. the cafes
open and the moving picture theaters
and playhouses were still in full
swing. Then in all parts Of the city
could be heard the whirl of numerous
aeroplane propellers, while every
where people went upon the balconies
to watch for Zeppelins.
Few ParisianS appeared TO believe
the raiders were likely to come, as
they had been turned back many times
previously But suddenly in one of the
northeastern parts of Paris there was
a great flare in the sky as the Zeppe-
lin dropped an illuminate so that those
on the airship could see whether they
were over the city. Then a bomb
fell into a street, crushing through in
to the subway and tearing a hole Is
feet in diameter, but injuring no one.
Quickly a series of other detOnatiOns
occurred, sounding duly throughout
the city.
One of the missiles fell on an iso-
lated house occupied by a single fam
lily. The building was bisected, one end
being demolished and its occupants
hurled far into an open lot and killed.
The other end of the house was cut off
sharply ana a bedroom on the second
floor was left intact with its occu-
pants uninjured. The floor was car
ried away under the head of the bed,
leaving the bed balanced on the
Jagged edge of the ruin, with a 9-year-
old boy in it unframed.

grandmother of the boy, but it is all

him, he never flinched. never even

Arranging Irish Marriages.

Law Notes says that a case tried be-
fore the recorder of Galway, ireland,
not long ago. revealed that marriages
among the peasantry in the country
districts are often arranged after a
personal investigation has been made
in behalf of one or the other parties
to the match as 10 the means OF the
other. In the case before the court it
appeared that the husband investi-
gated the stock, goods and chattels on
the farm belonging to his intended
wife and was apparently satisfied. but
later discovered that the sheep and
other live stock were borrowed from
neighbors to make a good showing on
the occasion OF his visit. The court
held that it had no power 10 grant
relief to the extent of annulling the
marriage.

Too Much for Engineers.

Some forty years ago some English
men proposed to dig canal on tho
northwest coast of Africa. south of
Morocco, to admit the waters Of the
Atlantic into the Sahara desert. II
was argued that a great inland sea
would thus be created and that ocean
vessels might steam into Africa and
pick up cargCes along the western SUI
dan.
This fine idea was based upon the
prevalent notion that most Of the
desert surface was much below sea
level 1t was discovered later that
most of the desert stands high above
the sea. 1t would take hard pumping
to transfer much Atlantic water into
the Sahara.
