Greta and half guessing at the truth.
This came out in detail as Greta

She had friend girl chum. as her WIS.,

then, she had confessed her prefer

her that she was sure that Wade

Japan may be regarded as one Of
the most prosperous countries in the
world. Her chemical industry is -four
fishing. and she has large orders for
cotton, while her flour milling in
dustry is very prosperous. In addI-
ton she has made immense sales of
munitions, chiefly to Russia. 1t is
not too much to say that Japan's ex-
pansion in the cotton and shipping
Industry will place her in a position
for severe competition in all Pacific
markets in the future; and this COM

WASHINGTON NOTES


Washington, Sept. 3. Especial Cor
respondence) Congressman Daniel r.
Anthony of Kansas has drawn up
bill to amend the present law regard
ing the awarding Of medals Of honor
Hereafter Mr.. Anthony would have
the President award = medal Of honor
to officers and men who perform feats
Of exceptional heroism beyond the call
Of duty while in actual conflict with
the enemy. A distinguished service
medal is provided in the measure for
services Of slightly less importance,
carrying with it an increase OF 81 t.
month in the soldiers pay. Further
distinguished services by the same
man will entitle him to added bars on
his medal and 50 month for each
such occasion. Mr.. Anthony stands
high in the committee on military af-
fairs, to which the bill has been re-
ferred, and early action on the meas
ure may be expected.
To Relieve Coal Shortage
A resolution designed to relieve at
once the coal situation, and insure a
sufficient supply for the coming win
ter, has been introduced by Represen-
tative Ernest Lundccn of Minnesota.
Mr.. Lundcen has discovered that dur
ing June 1916, only 594 ,531 cars of
coal we're loaded, as compared with
75O,322 cars in June, 1917. That fact
convinces him that VIC have no short
age for home consumption, and it only
needs to be properly distributed to our
own people. Mr.. Lundeen's resolution
directs the President to seize sufii-
cient coal for our own needs, hold it
in the United States and ship it i'm
mediately into such states as may have
a lack of supply Congressman Lun-
deem significantly remarks that 1.-THE
people Of Minncsota and the north
west are not so much concerned with
the coal supply of foreign n;tioEs as
they are about their own supply"
Southern Sectionalism
The eagerncss Of the southern dem
ocrats to bring the products of the
north under federal control in order
that prices may be fixed is somewhat
offset by their industry in preventing
cotton being embarrassed in any such
way. The house of Representatives Of
Georgia passed resolutions typical of
the thought of that section of the
country. After some "Whcroases," in
which the danger to the price Of Get
on from federal Interference is set
forth, it is resolved "that the house Of
representatives of Georgia do most
earnestly and mistakenly protest the
placing of cotton under government
control in any manner whatsoever"

her to take a stroll. Mndge did not
reveal the fact that she was sure Greta
was hoping to meet Wade Griscom.
Which was true. Madge had never
seen Griscom, nor did she know that
as they cut across n vacant space 1t
was near house where Griscom lived.
An upper window was open and the
apartment was flooded with light.
Greta uttered subdued cry and
Mndge had TO quite catch her in her
arms to support her.
"Why, Greta :" she exclaimed. and
then her eyes fell upon a picture in
the room. Near the window sat Il
man. He was really looking into a
mirror, but the girls did not observe
this. To all appearances he was lost
In sad and dreury reflection. His face
was ashen. deep rings showed about
the eyes. His whole presentment was
that Of prematurely aged young man
though sickness or sorrow, broken
down and hopeless.
Almost hysterical Greta fairly
pulled her companion out Of range Of
the house. She hurried her homeward
lncoherently sobbing out her grief.
'"That was Mr.. Griscom," she i'm
parted in tears, to her companion,
"rut oh how changed. Can't you see
I've given my poor dear love his death

President Wilson has finally made
the order placing control of exports
under the new committee Of which
Vance Mccormick is chairman. Mr..
Mccormick was chairman Of the dem

One Of the senators from that state
Felt called upon to make an apology
for the action Of his home Legislature,
and assured his colleagues that the
passage Of the resolution could not
possibly mean that Georgia would OBJ
jet to any movement intended to pre-
vent the Germans from getting pos
session Of the cotton, and maaufac-
turing it into explosives.
Tax Excess Profits Now
Another very potent reason why the
war profits tax should be increased
while it is possible TO derive revenue
from that source is suggested by SEN
ator George w. Norris Of Nebraska.
II We finance the war by bonds. as VIC
must do for all expenses not met by
taxation, the bonds and their interest
must be paid when there will be nc
war profits on which to depend for q
source OF revenue. For that reason
we ought, in Mr.. Norris opinion, &c
levy a liberal tax on that class Of
wealth while we have the opportunity
to do so.
Revelations" Cause Debate
Ambassador Gerard's revelations"
are causing sharp debate in the reich
stag at Berlin. But we have heard no
voice raised in congress at Washing
ton to inquire how it happens that Mr..
Gerard has possession Of and can sell
original documents from his embassy
files, how it happened that he sought
to cheer up the Kaiser in the opening
days of the war, and how, in the face
of al that he knew better than any
one else, he went back to his post
early last winter and made his FAM
Gus speech cxtolling the close and
friendly relations which he said ex-
listed between the German government
and the United States.
Pensions, OF Insurance
In considering the relative merits Of
Z pension system or IN insurance sys-
tenn for our Ecw soldiers, one thing is
likely to be lost sight of, and that is
that the pension system applles TO all
alike, whereas the insurance system is
very likely to result IN a larger bene-
fit to the man of larger means. The
proposal is to furnish insurance at the
rate of eight dollars thousand. The
man of means who has been conscr!pt-
ed will take as much insurance at this
rate as he is permitted to buy; so will
the man of smaller means. But the
wealthier man will necessarily take a
great deal more than the poor man
will or can. To that extent the pro-
posed insurance plan will work to the
advantage CT the man Of wealth;
whereas in a pension rich man and
poor man will benefit to the came ex-
tent. Each would get so many dollars
a month, depending upon his disabil-
ity and not upon his capacity to pay
