Pechur. But to do something for
an individual-to sacrifice for the
sake of showing ones gratitude for
a countryman who offered his life
for his cOuntry-ah, that, TO me, is
greater" Miss Pecheur, although
scarcely more than a child, has had
experiences that have filled her
eyes with a pathetic shadow and
have put tragedy into her voice.
However, as there is always some
thing bright in the gloomiest cir
cumstance, that same shadow in the
eyes and tragic note in the voice
will probably do more than any
thing else to make Miss Pecheur
one of the greatest tragediennes
few years from now.

UTOPIAN YUCATAN.

Maybe we've been wrong in thinking that good can out of Mexico An astonishing campaign of modern social improvement has been going in Yucaan It is largely due Governor Salvador Avarado And Modesto c. Rolland his assistant expresses the conviction >at
 even the United is going find things in Mexico worth copying by and by after the reform spread from the pennsular state of Yucatan throughout the public, for the program is the same for all Mexico"
 The most significant innovation is the reform of the old system of land tenure which has been at the bottom the countrys revolutionary troubles An of than 10000 miles held by 2CoO landowners, who contributed only $5OOOO year public expenses The land is paying than sS,UOOOOO taxes a year. coming from the old landlords equitable basis thousands of landlords all of it going to pay for legitimate public enterprises
 Some of the land held by fraud. That was taken away holders distributed among the peas But it didn't go far, because there SOOOOO landless people The government decided to make it possible for every family to possess 4Oacre farm Enough property taken from the big landlords to carry out the plan. But it confscated. It bought at fair price, and paid for in 50year bonds bear ing per interest The small farms 'ent" for period of two years all who applied for them termne who worthy Of the 900 heads families 10000 applied for farms, nearly all them made good in the probation period The given them for their own.

ePeAcs WITHOUT VICTORY"

Germans given President Wilson's peace address a warmer welcome than the Allies have Germans take kindly their the dictum, peace without victory" Though boastng of victory herself Germany seems to regard defeat continues. And United long hated is hailed her friend who is to save her destruction Thus the Allies would be robbed of their victory.
 This is the view of most of the Allies West minister Gazette has sounded different main- ains that the acceptance of tie principles set forth by the president, if there should be fighting and military triumph the Entente, would itself be an overwhelming victory the Allies.
 "The ideals which President Wilson sets before us" says the British newspaper remote from Prussan miarism their realization necessarily with it extinction German tyranny. His general idea of world at peace with reign of established and all nationalities great and small living in freedom and curfty, is that only get what he wants if at the time get what want"
 The New York Times adds: Ask Germany if peace the forth with specification and detail in the presidents address would be the peace of defeat for her. of victory her foes The plain i'm pcation is that if Germany welcomes such peace will be sacrifice of all her real aims the sake of saving her dignity and escaping punishment
 To accept and indorse the presidents address" says the New World Germany revolutionize all previous theories government emancipate it. self from the policies of Prussianism. It must turn back upon the old gods and frightfuness set heel upon despotism become as completely Germany France of the Republic became a France after the downfall of Napoleon H.
 "The Of the presidents address words that German government has understood and if the German government proesses understand them is because Germany is beaten and autocracy forced surrender It is German peace that President Wilson has proposed to the world but peace of democracy"
 How could such peace fail to be victory for the Allies? If they themselves it that way, the prospects will brighten.

FRESH BREAD.

England has been driven to the German expedient bread but the British food regulator is said to be planning something which mildly corresponds to it. He wants forbid the consumption of fresh bread He would forbid the sale loaves within twelve hours they emerged from the oven
 The idea is not, many "dyspectic Americans" might rashly assume to protect the British stomach the ravages freshly bread The idea is that if the bread is allowed bit stale before reaching the consumer, he won't much of it because he won't like it we'll Thus the nations four supply will be conserved.
 Opponents of the plan soberly argue that there's no economy in that because the bread is stale the people will put jam it, and the extra jam will than the saved bread
 But why get a scientific dietary basis. and insist the bread ageing little before it's eaten for the simple that it's noursling and whole some that way? Any expert dietician inform the food regulator that bread just of the matter if it does good isn't fit for human consumption
