Revelations Of a Wife
BY ADELE GARRISON

When a person saves your life it IS
not quite chubby to object to the man
ner in which he does it..
That's all right said Katie grand
Is and vanished to the kitchen. For
e minute I Whinsically envied Katie
She had no complicated financial
problems. So much work, so much
money, and only herself to suit in its
spending.
For the first time since my marri-
age dreaded Dicky's homecoming.
Our little dinner each evening had
been the enc event Of my day. some
thing to look forward to and to dress
for. Today felt as if I we're going
to execution.
But it IS point OF honor to dress
cne's best even for that" said to my
self as went to my room. I took
Gown a little afternoon gown which
is Dicky's favorite, "a simple affair of
soft, dark blue silk with tiny old rose
figures dott1ng it, and cuffs and collar
of old rose satin.
Il can't see any difference between
myself and the savage wife who
| makes herself brave with extra beads,
hoping to avert d beating" told my
self bitterly as I let down my hair
and arranged it in the way Dicky likes
best, in careless natural waves over
my ears, end ccfled loosely at the
Eape of my neck.
AS I put on the gown and fastened
I it a temptation came to me. 1t was
easiest for me to ask Dicky for more
money, humiliating as the task was,
than to tell him that I had paid the
bill he had neglected. ] knew that

cry a few minutes after the shabby
proprietor of the cleaning establish
ment had gone In my haste to pay
the bill which Dicky had neglected
for so long | had given the man all
the money in the house. Tomorrow

weekly bills. and l had nothing with
which to pay them. I must either
ask Dicky for money or put off the
tradesmen tomorrow.
Either Of these course was intoler-

II Is bred in me. My little mothers

ran away, was a long nightmare of
debt and the duns of creditors. One
OF my first memories is Of my moth

which to pay pressing creditor
cannot remember when made my
first resolve never to owe anybody
anything.
On the other hand, long years of In
dependence had intensified another
trait Of mine, that of hating to ask a
favor of anyone. / had hoped that
Dicky wher we started to housekeep-
ing, would talk over his financial af-
fairs with me as he would with any
other partner. / had planned to dis
cuss with him what sum we could
afford weekly for housekeeping ex-
rerses. Then I had expected that he
would hand me that sum each week
Without any further discussion.
But Diclzy's plans evidently did not
run along the lines which appealed to
ME. The day we came into our little
home he had taken my purse from my
hand, stuffed some bills inside, and
said carelessly: That's for the house
leeping. Tell me when you need
more" Thousands Of women before
me suppose have gone through the
experience I did, that of trying to
stretch that money to the farthest pos
sible extent so as to put off the day
wien I should have to ask for more.

He said that Germany must learn
that the enthronement of force is

'An enemy misconception," he
continued, is that the allies, espe-
cially Great Britain, are aiming at
the destruction for their own politi-
cal and economic objects of wnat
vaguely is called the freedom of the
seas This formula. if it possesses
any relevance, can only be used to
indicate some new limitation in war
time upon belligerent rights of the
power which happens to have COM
mand of the sea. No corresponding
limitation has been suggested for
land warfare where existing con-
ventions have been in this conflict
systematically by the enemy. l do
not think we are likely to hear very
much from enemy lips of freedom of
the seas.
The allies are still unflinching in
their purpose to use all legitimate
methods, economic and military, to
secure a lasting and fruitful peace
which the world needs. The allied
position is stated with perfect lu-
cidity by President Wilson in his re-
cent address and I especially sub
scribe to and endorse the language
he used. When that object is ac-

CONGRESS MAKES
INQUIRY INTO THE
CONDUCT OF WAR
Assistance of Allies Will Be
Required to Supply the
Needed Artillery
BY associated Press

Washington, Dec. 12.-Inquiry by
congress into the general conduct of
the war was begun to-day with in
vestigation by the Senate Military
Committee of the War Departments
work in arming and equipping the
American forces.
Major General Crozier, chief of
ordnance, said an obstacle in the
early work was that the military
Tense act of 1916 contemplated o
force of one million men to be raised
in five years.
1t is apparent" he said, that the
original program for one million men
did not contemplate our participa-
ton in the war. We compressed the
five-year program into one year when
it immediately became apparent that
the one million program would not
do"
Preparation of estimates and ac-
tual appropriation by Congress, the
general said, caused further delay.
Referring to the cost plus ten per
cent" contracts, General Crozier said
the system mad worked out fairly

lery?" asked Senator Reed.

How long will it take to catch up
on this side?' Senator Reed queried.
I'VE will be fairly we'll caught up
on the most important things by next

That he has q plan prepared to

ANCIENT SPIRIT
OF BRITISH NOT
SAPPED BY EASE
Ungrudging Sacrifices Prove
That Britons Are Not
Withered by Dotage
WAR is WORTH WHILE
Allies Unflinching in Purpose
to Secure Lasting and
Permanent Peace
BY associated Press

London, Dec. 1.-THE ungrudg-
ing sacrifices made by the British
people, former Premier Asquith de-
clared in an address at Birmingham
yesterday, proved that the ancient
and ingrained spirit of the British
people had not been sapped Ivy lux
ury or stalled and withered by dot
age.
We look to the end" he said,
with the assured and growing
belief that both in the council cham
ber OF peace and in the ordering of
our own household a new era Of lib
erty and justice will be opened"
The former premier said he had
had large part in Great Britain s
entering into the war and he uuhesi-
tatingly believed it had been worth
while if the war ends in a peace of
security and permanency. He en-
dorsed President Wilson's latest
words as expressing clearly the in
tentions and desires of the allies.
Adverse criticism of the recent let
ter of the Marquis of Lansdowue, he
added, was caused by reading into it
meanings and intentions which the
letter did not intend to convey.
Mr.. Asquith said there was abun-
dant evidence that the enemy peo-
pies are misinformed of the ailies'
object which are not to annihilate
the German people, but to destroy
the military domination of Prussia.
