BY CYNTHIA GRAY.


Fate will soon thrust a hard question on many an
American woman
Thousands of those who bravely sent their SOL
der boys overseas will some day have to ask them
selves particular question: "shall wear mourning
for him?
For this question the women of this country
should find national answer There should be estak
lished universal use or dsuse of crepe and other
mourning garb for soldiers fallen in the war.
Fortunately for Yankee common sense and ra-
tional maternal sentiment the first mother who had
to face Fates terrible query has set all other
a noble example
From her residence in a middle west town and
from her position of independence between the rich
and the poor, Mrs. Dodd exactly represents the
AVERAGE American woman whose son goes forth
to
Her decision is notable worthy upon
which to establish national custom.
The wearing of mourning is in no way measure
of grief for the dead 1t does not satisfy any
natural human instinct for sOmberness in funeral
garb. Purple, red and white have been mourning
colors in certain lands and centuries.
Obviously, the government will never regulate
the mode and manner of expressing personal sentl-
ment.
But could the women of the country make finer
free will offering to democracy than by sacrificing
their mourning garments superfluOus and made
quate symbols of grief?
The hero who falls in France has made his life
"a gift to his country and to the world freedom Yet
we women are accustomed to speak of the men slain
in battle as 'OUR gift to OUR country!''
Let us try to think what dying in the full
strength and beauty Of their manhood meant to them
Let us try to appreciate THEIR GIFT TO U.s.
Then, feeling this, mothers and wives of Amer
ica we must strip off our black toggery as cheap
and tawdry affectation and knowing this, the only
honor we can pay dear dead soldier boy is proud
smile for the glory of his spirit and tears, in all hu
mility for our profit in the new liberty in which he
has laid down his life.

Making the "Sick" Man SiCker

There is solid ground for the reports that
Turkey is panic stricken over the general prog
ress of British troops in Asia Minor and the
prospective fall of Jerusalem.
Every foot of the land which the British are
taking in that part of the world is holy land. to
the Mosems. To lose the holy city of Jerusalem
would, in particlar, be gall and wormwood to
anti-Christ, and not to be compensated for by
any decoration which the sultan's christian
dog brother" Wilhelm, might try to salve the
Moslem misery.
Capture Of Jerusalem may not be important,
directly as military achievement but its effect
upon the morale of the whole Turkish people
would be incalcuable.
Go to it, General Allenby You're good ways
off and not much advertised, but you may yet
"crack" Germany.

Qualities of Premiership

Feeling all the aplomb of premiership rising
In him, Lenine wrote out his personal check for
30 millions and went down to the Petrograd
banks to get it cashed, which was natural in
gent not very familiar with millions.
Il The banks, however, gave Premier Lenine that
cast-iron not-identified paying-teller stare, and
promptly closed their DOORS which was good
banking business.
Evidently, nothing prevents Lenine from be-
coming great Russian premier, as Russian pre-
miers go, save lack of bread and butter for the
otherwise powerful political party he's heading.
But even politicians must eat, and the party
finally on top in Russia will probably be one that
can feed as well as fight.
