u S. HOLDS BALANCE OF POWER IN
GREAT WAR SAYS SENATOR THOMPSON

America holding the balance of
power in the great war is the situation
presented in an interview today given
to the Star Bulletin by Senator William
H. Thompson of Kansas He said:
The power and influence of the
United States will do more than any
other agency to bring about an early
and successful conclusion of the war.
The United States viii profit more
from the results of the war than any
other nation.
I'm the first place, we will largely
control the terms of peace, and no
peace will be declared until the Ger
man autocracy which caused the war

. for her as it affects them.
To hear that Jim has been mace
head clerk in the grocery store is Oh
more thrilling interest to her than
that a new Napoleon has risen on the
field of battle. That John has lost his
job is a greater disaster than the over
throw of an empire. She is more nh
ed with curiosity to know what sort
of a girl Sammy is engaged to than
she is about the whole future OF the
feminist movement, and the news that
typhoons and cyclones have destroy
ed villages, and towns, and sections
of some faw away country does not
cause her hundredth part as much
regret as hearing that Jtm's crops
have had too much rain.
Wherever her children are, her
mother heart goes out to follow them
in their fortunes, and this is why it is
so cruel thing for her children in
their selfishness and their self-absorp.
ton in their own affairs to deny her
the comfort of their letters that would
enable her to keep step with them,
and to feel that she had part in their
daily lives, no matter how far removed
it was from her. -"
The twilight of mothers life is gen.
orally dull and drab. Perhaps it must
be spent in some lonely place where
nothing ever happens. The only way
in which any interest, any thrill of ex.
element, anything new to think about
and talk about can come to her is
through the letters from her children
that she has sent out into the world.
They are in the thick of things where
everything is happening. They are
having strange adventures, meeting
the people of whom one reads in the
papers, seeing queer things; they are
fighting, struggling, achieving, falling.
Write mother Of these things. Give
her some of the overflow of your over
full life. 1t would be a ray of sun
shine across her dark hour 1t will
give new FLIP of interest to life
that has few interests Of its own. She
will read such a letter over and over
the old gray heads will wag over it
with their tea and gossip.
; And the pride-the pitiful pride
that mothers have in being remember
ed, and in their children showing them
even decent appreciation and graft.
tude! Did you ever hear mother
brag, "My John is a very successful
businessman in the city, and he has a
million things to do every day, but
no matter how rushed he is with work
he never lets week go by without
writing to me?" 1t is a thing to bring
the tears to your eyes. 1t is so little
a thing for the man to do for the
mother who has done so much for
him.
But generally Jonn doesn't write
He doesn't even think how drear it
must be for the mother who watches
and waits for the letter that never
comes from the son who has forgotten
her. =
Boys, write to your mother" say
the commanding officers to soldier
boys. I say, men, everywhere, write
to your mothers" And write them
love letters. Soon enough the time
will come when your conscience will
torture you with the thought of your
neglect, and the many, many times the
anxious old eyes watched in vain for
the postman's coming with the letter
you we're too careless to write.

Joker In the interim, was the victim
of the-ol fashioned April fool pocket
book Joke the other day when he was
on an automobile tour near Hartford

tire, says the indianapolis News. The
tire. a new one. with the wrapping
slightly torn, was in the road. Trixler
stopped. but just as his fingers touched
the tire 1t rose in the air and hung by
rope over the limb of n tree. Trix-
Ter got the horse laugh from some
boys behind the tree, but he appre-
ciated the joke so thoroughly that he
waited to see the next victim get
stung. The next victim failed to see
the joke. and his language is said to
have turned the air so blue that Louie
had to turn on his automobile lights
to get away. tH
