CROWDER AGAIN PROVES EFFI-
CIENCY

The efficiency of Provost Marshal Cen
eral CroWder is again demonstrated in the
revised orders for mobilization Of the
national army. Instead OF sending into new
camps large bodies OF unorganizcd men
with no training, and almost wholly with
out military experience, he will send small
groups of selected men to organize the
camps and make ready for the main body.
The first arrivals will form ske1etonzcd
company and regimental units, which will
provide for the larger bodies without CON
fusion or delay.
The problem of quartering and equip
ping in an orderly manner and without in
convenience large bodies OF men unused to
camp life is thus solved The able manner
in which General CroWder handled the
draft, with its mass OF perplexing detail,
and the skill with which he is working out
| the more trying task OF mobilization, is in
d'cation OF his ability to meet the unusual
| demands OF the most eXacting position any
| American army officer has occupied

ONLY COURSE FOR PERMANENT
PEACE

In rejecting the peace proposals of the
pope, President Wilson fulfilled the pre-
diCtion of close students of the great world
problem. He realized that peace bv negO-
tiation would only defer, and not prevent,
further attempt by the military powers Of
Germany to make a conquest Of the world.
No peace by Cancellation could be CON
elusive with one of the parties to that
peace already guilty of most wanton viola
tion of sacred treaties and willing to make
any sacrifice of honor in the attainment
of supremacy.
AS the president expresses it, TO deal
with such power upon the plan proposed
by his holiness, the pope, would, so far as
we can see. involve a remuneration Of its
strength, and a renewal of its policy would
make it necessary to create a permanent
hostile combination Of nations against the,
German people, which are its instruments.
Such peace would mean another war,
and would be- in its ultimate consequences,
as reDulsive to the pope as to the nations
which are fighting for the freedom of the
world.
The proposals of Pope Benedict were
based upon humane motives. which must
strike a responsive chord in the heart of
every man to whom the sacrifice of human
life is abhOrrent. A man of peace and a
lover of mankind, his hope was to stop the
awful bloOdshed, While he has failed in
that, his proposals served the useful pur-
pose OF clarifying and emphasizing the
position Of the allies
1t is clearly indicated to the govern
| ments of the central powers that only their
subiection can end the War-that further
destruction of their people is of no avail
| With Wilson acknowledged spokesman Of
>Ec allies, his reply means continuance Of
the war until Prussian militarsm is de
strOycd. until new government is chosen
! by the people of Germany-a government
which shall prove itself worthy of admis-
sion into the council of nations.
The struggle will continue until dem0c-
raCy triumphs over autOcracy and until the
| people Of Germany are assured the freedom
enjoyed by other nations--a point which
the militarists of Prussia probably will not
yield until forced to unconditional sur
render. "

Haze You Ever Thought How Needless Women Are
About Breaking Their Word When 1t Suits Them?

may object TO making them, but
once they have committed them
selves to social course nothing but
the Great God Business can interfere.
Perhaps it is because women have
generally to make the best of what
is offered thcm-because they are not
free to choose their pleasures and en-
loyments and are dependent to GER
tain extent on others to offer them
their social opportunities, that they
do, not feel bound down by the lesser
pleasures when the greater ones are
offered.
But thereis no worse form of sell
fshness generally prevalent among
women than their tendency to slip
out of one engagement and into an
other, regardless of who is being
hurt and disappointed and thoroughly
discomforted by their detection. A
sensitive girl is likely to feel real suf
fering as a result of the treatment
which another girl metes out to her
when she serenely neglects to keep
an engagement and calmly leaves her
friend high and dry.
Suppose you have planned to spend
the Fourth of July on a country hike
with another girl, and then some man
invites you to take the day trip I'D
the Hudson or to go to Coney Isiand1
Before you accept, stop to consider
what you are doing to the girl who is
counting on you to be her com.
panion for the holiday.

and break engagements at will-to

rather than to abide by any schedule

break an engagement for her encour-
aged Virginia in her casual attitude
toward keeping appointments.
A cavalier attitude toward engage
ments isl fear me--more character
istic of women than of men. Even
rather fine women have a feeling that
they have right to pick out the in
vitations which most appeals to them
and to cancel any other which inter-
feres with it.
A group of us were discussing a
young dramatist recently and we all
agreed that one of the reasons we
liked Henrietta so much was because
she was completely dependable. One
of the girls summed it up like this.
"1f she promised to meet me at a
tea room for lunch and the duke of
Argyle came along and invited her
10 feast at his castle, she'd keep
her date with me. She's a wonder
