ENTRANCE OF u. S.
INTO THE WAR HAS
CHANGED GERMANS

Copenhagen, April 6-America's en-
trance into the war, it is believed, has
caused big change in the general
sentiment in Germany already. The
conviction is evident that Germany
cannot win a victory nor dictate terms
of peace even in modified form. The
feeling is apparently growing that a
more democratic basis of government
diplomacy must be proclaimed with
out waiting for the end of, the war to
"counteract the tempest of world opin-
ion"

also are convinced that something
closely approaching the arrangements
proposed by Foreign Minister Zim-

have been achieved and that the whole

recommended by Mexican Minister
Bubarin in Berlin.

Various suggestions were put for
ward as to how America could assist
the Allies most rapidly and effective
~. 1t was felt that in addition to
furnishing war supplies, the United
States could give valuable assistance
by sending specialists in all branches
in which that country is pre-eminent
and undertaking organization of rail-
roads and other transportation be-
hind the lines, which is one of the
most essential features of modern
tactics.

The original Inhabitants OF Bes-

of the approaches toward the empire
of Byzantium. the province was in
vaded by many successive races dur

the province of Dacia, and in the next
century the Goths poured into 1t, to

most afraid to risk 1t. Still, their
styles appear to be good, and the prices
quoted seem reasonable. 1 have been
thinking about doing that. will look
them up again and see what I can do"
answered Martha.
Martha's Heart Sank.
Martha had little difficulty in "1ook-
ing up" the catalogue, as the house
seemed full Of them, and after critical
" examining the suit pictures simple
blue took her fancy. The description
corresponded with her idea Of what she
wanted; the trimming looked neat and
Of good quality. The price was salts
factory, so after debating for some lit
tie time she decided to send for 1t. A
draft was forwarded, and the long vigil
pending the arrival Of the suit was as
depressing upon John as upon Martha.
At last it came-express bill and all
and eagerly the box was opened and
the suit laid on the bed for inspection.
It did not quite measure up to the pro-
portions Of the picture In the cata-
logue. The color was not good. There
was too much coat and not enough
skirt, and, besides, the skirt was not
draped as the advertisement said. 1t
Just hung, and hung uneven at that.
The work was not neat; the trimming
was of cheap. snowy quality, scant
and inferior. Martha's heart sank to
zero. She knew she would be asham-
ed to wear that suit at home, much
less among her we'll dressed friends.
What was she to do? She needed a
suit badly, but she realized that to
attempt an exchange would result as
disastrously as in the first place, and
she could I'll afford another new one.
Defects More Pronounced.
The longer Martha had the suit the
more numerous and pronounced be-
came its defects, until at last her pride
rebelled, and she refused longer TO
wear the miserable parody. She said
she would much prefer to wear a
good" old suit than poor" new one
For with the poor new one she was
conscious and ashamed when she felt
any one looking at her or her suit
