A Husband, Pleased
With His Magnanimity,
Hits the Morning Air

Once upon time there was a man
we will call him Bill Jones-who thought
up little stunt to please his wife.
ooh, dear" said Bills better-half after
dinner, Il feel terrible and just cannot
do these dishes tonight"
Leave em until morning" said Bill,
magnanimously, whereupon Bill re-
solved, also magnanimously, upon his
stunt
"You are tired out, dearie,' said Bill,

some doughnuts or something down

while won't hurt fellows wife, he
added-all of this magnanimously.
Bill set the alarm clock for 4:30,
grabbed it by the neck and choked it of
quickly when it asserted itself at the APP
pointed hour, got out Of bed, dressed
quietly and tiptoed down stairs.
On went kettle of water, and while
II was heating Bill scraped up the dishes
and got them all together and classified
as he had seen his wife do from the
back porch. where, after dinner, he had
sat smoking.

to be an EVENT in wife's life.
When the water was heated, Bill
poured il into the dishpan full of plates
which he had put in first because they
appeared TO be most soiled and in need
of the cleanest water.
Then he put in his hand and jerked
il out in a jifTy and blew on it to cool it,
like they do soup.
Then he turned on some cold water
and one by one the plates came out and
were dried and placed noiselessly down,
because Bills wife was not to be dis
turbed.

SIGNS OF AWAKENING IN GEt- MAN EMPiRE-kAISER WILL
 HELM CRITICISED.
PEOPLE MUST KNOW FACTS
Majority Party Serves Notice That Military Censorship Must Be Modified Within Four
 Weeks.

Copenhagen-A warning that un- less the German government heeds demands of the Reichstag for reforms, the majority parties will take meas ures, has been given before the Reichstag Main Committee. Resolu- tions of the majority, introduced by Or. Karl Heine, Socialist, demanded for the fourth or fifth time, abolition of the political censorship and limita- tion of the military censorship to facts connected with the conduct of the war and criticism thereof. It was de- clared to be notorious that the mili- tary authorities exercise a sweeping political censorship of the German press on the pretense that publica- tions of political nature may affect the military spirit of the people.
 Dr. Heine gave the government four weeks, until the assembling of the Reichstag, to amend it's ways Otherwise, he said, the Reiehstag ma jority would take steps. The govern ment has received some half dozen earlier warnings of similar nature and it's response in the present case will be test of the influence of the present majority in the Reichstag.
 Kaiser Criticised.
 Speeches and announcements of Emperor William were criticized in the debate on the censorship. Matthias Erzberger, Centrist leader, and Dr. Heine called attention to the effect caused by the emperor's impulsive statements which sometimes run counter to the ostensible policy of the government. The emperor's crit ics probably had particularly in mind his recent utterances in regard to England, which he said is Germany's arch enemy and must be defeated at any cost.
 Dr. Heine appears to have demand such utterances of the emperor. Herr Erzberger asked whether Chancellor Michaelis assumed responsibility for what was said by the emperor. For eign Secretary von Koulhmann re- piled that he did. The misleading 'denials" by the Foreign Office of Premier Kerensky's statement that a separate peace offer had been made recently to Russia and of the mes- sage said by former Ambassador Ge- rard to have been sent by Emperor William to President Wilson at the outbreak of the war, were brought up. Herr Erzberger said the official con- munications were coming into wide discredit abroad owing to the many
