1.-THE Empire state will not furnish
another Republican nominee for presi-
dent of the Unitd Stats in my life
time, in my opinion" declared Col.
Michael j. Dady, leading Republican
OF Brooklyn. "The next nominee Of
the Republican party for president
will come out of the West, and he will
win. He will carry New York, Penn
sylvania and every other normally
Republican state. We used TO have
an idea that this country could not
get along without New York. think
that idea was pretty effectually dis
PEELED in the recent election. The
Democrats didn't need New York to
win the election, and while it is very
desirable for a political party to get
the vote of New York state, it is not
absolutely necessary any more. do
not believe New York will have can
didate for the nomination in 1920. OF
course, there are men who are ambi-
tious, but the Republicans in the state
realize that the great West must be
considered in the future, and | believe
for the most part they are ready and
willing to concede this"

There will be no tears over the an
nouncement that the scheme for one
cent letter postage has been dropped
for the session Of congress. Now, If
only some congressman would start
something that would give US more
postal employees, better pay for all
and our mail on time, he'd be pio-
neer, but the country would be CRATE

There are now 10 million members

the United States, which in the past
half century have paid to widows, or

3 billion dollars, and are now disburs-

The woman who understands.
AS the tide went out she found hin
Lashed to spar of despair,
The wreck of his ship around him
The wreck of his dreams in the air
Found him and loved him, and gath
cred
! The soul of him to her heart.
The soul that had sailed an unchartec
sea,
The soul that had sought to win anc
be free,
The soul Of which she was part
And there in dark'ning she cried to
the man,
Rebuild the lost ship, for you canl
Ay, you can!"
Helping and loving and guiding,
Urging when that was best,
Holding her fear in hiding
Deep in her quiet breast;
Hers was the courage that called
him
Back to the standard he lost
When he tossed in the storm of the
streets and the strife
And thought himself through with
the game of life,
And ready to pay the cost;
Watching and guarding and whisper
ing still,
"Win-for you can, and l know that
you will"
This is the story of ages,
This is the woman's way
Wiser than seers and sages,
Leading us day by day;
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim;
Treading life's pathway wherever 1t
leads
Frightened with flowers or entangled
with weeds
If only she tread it with him;
A guardian, comrade, impelling spur
The men who have conquered were
helped by her.
Somewhere she waits to help you
win,
Your soul in her frail white hands;
Somewhere the gods have made for

LONDON, Feb. 12.--The American Com
mission for Relief in Belgium has officially
notified the German authorities that the
Americans will withdraw from partcpa-
tion in the relief work In Belgium and
northern France.
This step was taken in reply to an order
from the German authorities that Ameri-
cans must withdraw from the provinces of
Belgium and northern France, leaving only
few of their representatives. headed by
Brand Whitock, American Minister to Bel
gium in Brussels The action OF the COM
mission is explained In the following state
ment given out by directors of the commits
sion In London
We were advised February IL by
Director Warren G. Gregory from
Brussels that Baron Won Der Lancken
(civil Governor or Brussels) had notified
him that American citizens could no
longer occupy positions in connection
with the commission in the occupied
territories of France and Belgium. but
that a few Americans, among them
Brand Whitlock might reside in Brus-
sells and exercise general supervision
over the work. Mr. Whitlock. however.
was to have no diplomatic standing.
Further. automobiles and other means
of communication would be denied
Americans
after earnest consideration with AM
bassador Page, the directors OF the
commission in London, acting In accord
with Herbert c. Hoover. chairman OF
the commission, instructed Mr.. Gregory
to inform the German authorities that
in view OF their order that the Ameri-
cans could no longer exercise their
function in the occupied territories. and
that as under these conditions the
American members of the commission
could no longer carry out their re-
sponsibilities and undertakings to other
interested governments and fulfill their
duties toward the peoples of Belgium
and northern France, the Americans
would officially withdraw from partici-
patton in the work of relief in the
occupied districts.
Mr.. Gregory was advised to arrange
for all his men to leave Belgium imme-
diately, except a few who are to close
the commissions affairs, and take
steps to see that there be no Interrupt
ton In the service pending the reorga-
nization of the work

BOSTON Mass. Feb. 13.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 13.
HERBERT HOOVER, chairman Of
IL the Commission for the Relief
Of Belgium, was much perturbed
when informed that the Germans
had ordered American agents out of
Belgium and had called of the re-
lief work.
"We had hoped" Mr.. Hoover said,
that the Germans would give us
time. But as it is we will be able to
go on with our work, provided they
do not interfere with the stocks of
food, if we can organize some other
neutral agency to take control of the
work of distribution.
I'VE have twenty or twenty-five
million dollars worth of food in Bel
gium now awaiting distribution, but
how to distribute it is the problem"
The danger that Germans will
seize this food apparently loomed
large in Mr.. Hoover's mind as he
started back to New York.
