ANOTHER CHANCE COMING.

TT NOW appears that IN Oct. 81, 1916, the German Emperor,
moved by a super-mpulse, wrote to his Chancellor to advise him
- that the time had come for "a great moral deed to free the world,
including neutrals, from the pressure which weighs upon all"
For such a deed" tho letter soes m. 1T is necessary to
find q ruler who has q conscience. who feels that he is re-
sponsibe to God. who has a heart for his own people and for
those who ar his enemies. who 10 Indifferent to any possible
misnterpretauon Of his act and who possesses the will to free
the world from its sunerngs
II have the courage. Trusting in God. I shall dare to
take this step"
Was all this preliminary to nothing more than the expression Of
that imperial and victorious condescension toward peace which is the
only thing to be found in the subsequent German peace proposals?
II 90, what possible end can be served by publishing the letter now?
Or, on the other hand, were the imperial words meant to convey a
hint that provided Prussianism is permitted to save its pride by speak
ing its own peculiar language, it is ready to come down, by degrees,
toca'es' If this was the meaning, it is easy to see why the autograph
document is made public at this moment.
A ruler who "has a conscience" and "a heart for his own people"
may still find it convenient at a pinch to prepare a way to safety for
himself Indifferent as he may pretend to be to misinterpretation
Of his acts. he will not scorn any opportunity to publish motives that
look well behind his manoeuvres.
On the eth Of this month the Kaiser will celebrate his fifty
eighth birthday. What a chance to take his own people and Others
still further into his confidence!

having ruined themselves at play.
The first mention of whist In lit
erature was made by Taylor, the
Water Poet. in 1921. He refers to II
AZ "whisk," the name having probably
been derived from the practice OF
whisking the tricks from the table as
soon as played. Some authorities say
h q the name was derived from
whist" as a synonym for hush" be-
cause OF the silence required TO play
IL a~ttentively. This doesn't seem prob
able a the game was played for
nearly half a century as "whisk' be-
fore the present spelling came into use.
The word was spelled both ways in
references To IL between 1868 and 1928.
Even later, in 1894, Seymour in THE
Court Gamester," referred 10 IL as
whist, ~vulgarly called whisk."
The now popular and fashionable
game was restricted to the servants
halls and the novels and cottages OF
the poor until 1928, when, according
to harrington. whist was first played
on scientific principles by a party of
gentlemen who frequented the Crown
Coffee House in London. They laid
down the following rules; Lead from
the strong suit, study your partners

Edmond Hoyle, the greatest of au-
thorities on card games. was the man
who really popularized whist. His IA
nous Short Treatise on Whist" was
first published in 1743. and attained
such instant popularity hat five edi-
tons were required to supply the de-
mand In the first year. Hoyle re-
ceived $4,000 for this work from the
p~ublisher-a much larger reward for
his labors than was received by most
OF the celebrated poets and authors
OF his day. Some have even called
Hoyle the inventor of whist, but that
Is more than the most ardent Of his
admirers may Justly claim for him,
Hoyae Is said to have given lessons in
the game TO ladies' and gentlemen. for
which his charge was IS a lesson.
Thus the great temple OF whist was
reared, enabling Englishmen to sing:

IT Is probable that the year now
drawing to a close marks h ter
centenary Of the popular card game
Of whist. According II n authority
whist or ''whisk." as IT was then
called. was first generally played Just
three centuries ago. For many years
the game. under the appellations OF
"whisk" and 'swobbers." was played
only by servants and others OF the
humber classes, and IL was not until
more than a century had passed that
It reached the drawing rooms OF the
wealthy and the nobility.
Whist's offspring, bridge whist, has
been played only about half a century.
but within the last decade IL has be-
come the most popular of card games.
Although bridge has attained the
height Of its popularity in America,
Great Britain and France, II Is played
in many other countries. In Turkey
and Egypt 1t is known as "khedive.'

as "yeralash." IL was toward the close

THE CIRCLE.

y HE chief cause OF poverty is sickness, according to the annual
report Of the New York Association for Improving the Con-
- dition Of the Poor.
Causes OF poverty dealt with other than sickness and Its
results were wife-deseruon and non support, delinquency, SUCH
as Imprisonment and alcoholism, old age and unemployment but
all these causes combined produced q small burden ~ compared
with sickness and It's consequence
As a matter of fact, during the twelvemonth in question, as the
report points out, there was practically no unemployment situation.
Conditions which tend to produce or increase poverty could be studied
without the necessity of allowing for the usual mo work. factor.
The inevitable conclusion appears to be that good times and a
plentiful choice of jobs exert surprisingly small influence in lessening
the number Of the poor. Prosperity never gets the better Of the
prime cause of poverty. Out of $l5G,O00 spent by the Association
10 relieve destitute families in their own homes, $4,000, 90 per cent,
vas used for families where the "cause Of need" was the sickness or
death Of the wage Garner.
Poverty follows sickness. Sickness is the too frequent result
Of ignorance and neglect. Ignorance and neglect find congenial soil
in poverty. The circle persists. Only by tireless patience, wisdom
ard unselGshness is it ever broken.
