one Of her best salad plates. half the
canned things she had ordered were
missing, and Winifred had told a lie.
From the time Winifred had began
to talk, Helen had tried TO incuicate
truthfulness in her. The fact that
Helen and Warren differed so radical
" in the punishment of children. had
made Helen almost fearful for possible
consequences Helen had resolved be-
fore she had become a mother. that
she would try TO profit by the mis-
takes she had noticed in the behavior
of other parents Many young mothers
have resolved the same thing before,
only TO find things harder in their own
particular cases
Warrens sister Carrie thought Helen
extremely lenient and has expressed
casion-in fact a great deal of Helen's
dislike for Carrie had come about
through meddlinS in the matter OF
Winifred's upbringing. and Helen felt
that there were some things she could
never overlook.
Winifred had joined a small Friday
dancing class II was the pride Of the
Child's heart. and she had looked for

this week Helen had deprived her OF
the pleasure so long expected, as pun

Winifred that there was nothing more
wicked than to tell an untruth. But
Winifred had been TOO bitterly hurt

Helen murmured something about

Germany Might Do Worse

In concluding a speech at Hanover, Dr.. Gustav
Streszmann, national liberal deputy in the German
reichstag spoke OF the Importance of submarines saying
their full employment would raise the monthly tonnage
of ships destroyed from 100000 to 100000 which would
famine for the English population His assertion
was by inference argument for the unrestricted
Of submarines with all the previous horror, the be
lief that Great Britain would be forced through
starvation to seek terms Of peace.
The fact overlooked by Dr.. Streszmann admiral Won
Trpitz, and other opponents of extreme measures is
that while the called full employment of submarines
would probably increase the destruction of ships and
might bring Great Britain to the point of starvation
allowed to continue long enough Germany would
heess stand to lose more than she gained In the
of few weeks Of that sort of thing every neutral
the world would be an enemy of Germany, and a few,
like the United States and Spain, might become active
enemies To engage fresh enemies would be a serious
matter for Germany if worlds mere disapproval
not bad enough.
Germany has not lost esteem in the neutral countries
since modifying submarine warfare. 1t could only be by
an overthrow of the ministerial officers in Germany that
the old fury OF submarine warfare could be resumed
the pressure of radical opinion Germany viii probably
not become sufficiently strong to accomplish such
overthrow; at least not while Germany is fighting so
successfully as at present.

again.

Helen had a sudden vision OF whim-

Glsagreeable children she had ever met.
and then she thought Of kind, gentle
Fred. who would never harm thing IL
he could help it It was rather diff
cult to imagine him whipping Roy, al
though Helen had frequently seen
Carrie administering punishment or
this kind. and it invariably rendered
Roy sullen and unmanageable.
Carrie Critieises Helen.

Helen I think a father should have
something to say about the uporing-

Carrie made several more remarks
before she finally rose TO go. and
Helen was nearly wild with nervous
ness, for she was forced to sit and
listen unless she wanted a gar6led
account of the afternoon wrongly mis-
represented to Warren. who had an
idea that Helen had taken an unac-
countable dislike TO his sister.
