AMERICA WILL WIN
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE

BIRKENHEAD, Eng, Sept. T.
America has never known defeat,
and on this occasion, too, she will
triumph" was the declaration Prem
ier Lloyd George made in his address
here today. The premier admitted
the Russian news was "disquieting,"
but expressed confidence the Russian
leaders would "repair the machine
now under fire"
"Germany's attempts to sow dis.
sention among the allies on the east
and west fronts have failed. Ger
many only decided to invade Russia
with the sword because her other
methods failed. We are less concern
ed for the fact of Russian failure in
the war than it's effect on the worlds
democracy" he said.
The repeated defiance of submarine
es, contrary to general expectation,
was not discussed, or the allies war
aims.

SEND THE NEGRO
TROOPS TO FRANCE

The World agrees with its neigh
bor, the Evening Sun, that the best
thing to do with the negro troops is
to send them to France as soon as
possible.
Under capable white officers they
are splendid soldiers, and nobody
familiar with the record of Negro
troops in the United States army can
doubt that they will give magnifi-
cent account of themselves in France
They may not be able to live
amicably with southern communities
but they know how to die in defense
of the flag.
This may not be complete solu-
tion of the problem that has been
made so acute by the shocking NUT
my of negro troops at Houston after
a quarrel with the local police, but
it will help toward a solution.-New

How to Keep Your Friends.

1t is almost impossible to be genu-
inely friendly with a person who in
sists on being too close to you, on
knowing all your thoughts, feelings
end affairs and on claiming your time
and attention on the excuse of affec-
ton alone, says the Woman's Home
Companion.
The bonds of true friendship must
be easy and it's demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken a sudden fancy to you
is blind and selfish egotist, in a mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but II
you are a polite and courteous per-
son you bear with her unit. she directs
her attention elsewhere. She will prob
ably tell the new friend that you are
Every unresponsive." Some women
clutch at every new acquaintance ana
then complain that they have so few
friends. The reason is that friendship
is not built on .trivialities and whims,
but by giving such valuable things as
true consideration, real interest, and
manifesting decent reserve as to the
other persons condolences and non-con-
fidings.

Criticism and Progress.

General Gallieni, who commanded
the Paris garrison at the outbreak of
the war, and afterward served as min
lister of war, once said:
"Don't criticize until you can cor
rect" is his plea.
If everybody acted on this sugges-
ton the world would stand still, says
the Des Moines Register. 1t is criti-
cism which finally brings correction,
for even If the first criticism is wholly
destructive, it will set mems minds to
working, and somebody will find a
remedy.
There is poverty in the world, and
nobody has yet proposed plan which
will eliminate 1t. Therefore, shall we
keep still about poverty and fail to
criticize 1t?
Constructive criticism is better than
destructive, but to have neither ID
fatal to progress.

valid laboring up the hill.
"Whatchu got?" demanded the next
of Oswald.
"A nice pretty rock" the laborer
grunted.
"A nice heavy one" big brother
grunted.
They urged the baby Of the family
to put the bowlder down, but ne
wouldn't. Then they forgot about him
until they started home.
What are you sitting on, Oswald?'
cried the little sister, as they pre-
pared to ramble on. The others looked
around. Oswald was exceptionally
tall. OF course, for he was sitting on
that heavy bOWlder.

Mamma, have him throw il out It's
