Ones Friends in War
BY Charles Manson Towne
Of The viuitantes,

One OF the heartening things to come
out of this war is the fact that ones
friends feel as We ourselves feel about
1t. OF all the people ! have known,
except some of Teutonic origin, only
one has been pro-German. 1t Is a
tribute to ones gift OF selection, il
nothing else. The one man who was
pro- German has switched since we
entered the conflict: but cannot trust
him in the old way. For the issues
were the same in 1914 as in 1917; and
l cannot believe that he who was blind
then has been given through a miracle.
sudden sight He is simply expeeient;
and have no use for expedient people.
They are the towards OF the world:
the type who would wear Il mask and
hope never to have their deception
discovered.
Also, have German friends who
are violently anti German-which is
wonderful indeed to know. And they
have been the kind of Germans whom
l have always loved, and will continue
to love--thc Germans with vision; the
Germans with justice In their souls:
the Germans with Righteousness and u
high flame in their hearts.
Thank God there are many of them
and many of them who are my pro-
Ally friends.

she was married 4 few days ago
and is on her honeymoon. Won

Will this dear girl put away
her tack hammer and feed us on
goody- goody things' We don't
know. but With much interest We
will watch the opposite page to
see how Hclen's views OF life
may change.
\ few days ago, for in
stance, She said that the first
thing a bride has to learn is that
the difference from mans office
to his home is three times as long
as the distance from his home to
his office We wonder whether
Helen has learned that al
ready. Then. too, she said that
after marriage a man IS apt TO
forget that he married a girl III
order to make her happy. not IN
order to make her over. We
hope that that does not mean
that disappointment has come
SO soon to the heart Of this in
tercstirg bride. We choose
rather to believe that it was one
of the bits of copy that Helen has
saved when few hours were
needed for days shopping. Yes
tcrday she observed that love is
the feminine ,amouilag" Tor van
ity. though we do not care to ac-
ccpt that at face value. She does
not mean that love should be
called camouilagc for anything,
for she is a bride On honey

No? Well. you've missed something.

the way blood flows Is Il caution.
No admittancc is charged to the
