An Appreciation

Thackeray's poor gentleman at The Polyanthus Club, it
will be recalled, went down to the House Of Commons,
after his dinner of a chop and a potato, and magnificently
belabored the Treasury Bench. "Autocrats of the Dinner
Table" may lord it at many places, but had Thackeray's
poor gentleman" dned at ~RICHMONDS CAFETERIA, and
spent his shilling, his happiness and praise in mstinted
measure would have vented itself in Barcarole's "Tales
from Hoffman"-"I want THEE when the noontide sun
is zenith over ME-"

Best of Beverages

Monticello and Broad Rock waters are
served exclusively in ice-locked receptacles.
butter and sweet milk, as we'll as Kovar,
the popular new non-alcoholic beverage,
are to be had in individual receptacles.
The best creamery butter, pickle and pre-
serves of homemade varieties mingle
smackingly with celery, onions, radishes,
olives, spiced fruits, etc.

Many men who have prospered In

q the Kaiser Making
the World His Enemy To
Escape Wrath At Home?

Have the aristocrats Of Germany. fooled
IN their dream Of world power, declared
var against civilization that they may
sppease the wrath Of disillusioned and
defeated people by pleading inability to
contend against a world in arms?
As the hopelessness Of the German
cause has become more and more pro
nounced. political observers in increasing
numbers have predicted that the Hohen-
soIIern militarists would seize upon this
avenue Of escape from their failure to
make good their promises TO the German
people
And now comes Count Okuma, Japan
csc statesman. with the prediction that
the entry into the war Of the United
States means the early surrender Of Ger
many.
For years the militarists have deluded
their people with talk Of Deutschland
uber aIles"; Of place in the sun TO be
won only by the sword; of Germanized
universe whose guiding light should be
The 'skultur'' of the Teutonic savants.
They may well fear to offer their peo-
pie. in lieu Of these golden dreams, an i'm
poverished country. decimated popula-
ton and the opprobrium of civilization.
They cannot afford to confess defeat
by those nations whom they so confident
" set out to ravage that Germany might
feed upon their destruction
They may well welcome the oppor-
tunity to say I'VE have fought the good
fight: we have done our best, but We can
not by force Of arms subdue an embattled
world"

Cor SO sacred a thing as marriage and my voice
entreats from this pulpit for a thoughtful and
prsyerful approval 10 that which is the hnllest
thing this aide A@erens---
A few days ago The Times commented
editorialIy upon the plan of member
of the Michigan legislature 70 cut down
the number of divorces by the prevention
OF hasty marriages.
This the legislator says could be done
by law providing that so days elapse
between the time Of application for a
marriage license and the issuing of the
license, and publication meantime Of the
bans
We expressed the opinion that the plan
would not have the desired effect be-
cause il would be an easy matter for the
contracting parties to HE themselves TO
another state.
We attempted to show that the way
to prevent hasty marriages would be to
make IL harder matter to secure di-
vorce.
The editorial interested the Rev. W. II.
Wray Boyle, of the Woodward ave. Pres
byterian church, who wrote 10 US, inclos-
ing the above experience and lesson.
