THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE .

Received by Burroughs the follow ing afternoon:
 "Dear Mr. Burroughs:
 If you don't know what you did to offend me, as you say, 1t could hardly help matters for me to tell you. It was certainly obvious enough not on- iy to me but to every one else. and the fact that you do nat know mere ly convinces me that we are utterly unsuited to one another. I don't as- sert that my affection for you is gone. Arthur. It means too much to me for that, and I am afraid it will be a long time before I can feel indifferent to ycu, but I know that must teach myself to become so-difdcnlt though it will be to do it. As said before, there could be no happiness for two congenia1. so I feel that the only thing for Us to do is to part before 1t Is
 "very cordially yours,
 Eliza beth Dickson" ? After a week without any response from Burroughs:
 Dear MT. Burroughs:
 "You will be surprised to hear from me again, and I dare say not partfc- ularly pleased, but 1, have felt so trou- bied since I wrote you for fear you might think I have been unnecessarily harsh. I was. of course. very much wrought up when I wrote, and per- haps said more than I should have said.
 'I can only say that nothing I have done at any time during our acqua!nt- ance could have hurt you one tenth as much as you hurt me. Of course, your ST ending the entire afternoon driving that awful Miss Potter around in the renabout while I had to go in the car with all that noisy mob may have been unintentional, but I can only say it looked very strange when ev erybody knew that you and I were ira acticalIy engaged at the time.
 Please don't think I am reproach ing you. I know it is far better that things have turred out as they have and I do not see why we should not be as good friends as ever, do you even though we made such blunder

ESCAPING PRISONERS.

The news which comes from Geor.
 gia to the effect that ten Germans detained in the camp for alien ene- mics have escaped is not the first that has been received that prisoners cf this class have violated parole or got ten away from restricted areas. Such breaks for liberty have succeeded be- fore although not under the same conditions as this last one at Fort McPherson, where if has been learned that tunnel was dug from the build ing where the men were quartered for distance of over hundred feet to point beyond the enclosure
 Whether or not there was any as- sistance given them from within should be a matter for thorough in- vestigation, even while diiigeft efforts capped men. The tunnel trick is an old one. It is job which must have been done at night and naturally with only a few working at a time so that 1t is improbable that the task could have been completed between sun down and sunrise. Such being the case there must have been an aceumu- lation of the eXcavated dirt at some point or other and how that could es- cape detection for any period of time is one of the things which the officers ol tHdt ueteHt1oh camp Snould make determined efforts to find out It is the very thing that should have been watched for and guarded against
 It was only recently that much criti- cism was made of Spain because those aboard a German submarine intsrned in one of it's ports got away with the vessels and others of the crew on land later took French leave, but with much the same thing happening here we are like the fellow living in a glass house. It is highly important that it should be learned whether they re- ceived help and if so proper punish ment should be applied, while it is apparent that there should be care full scrutiny of the system of guard ing these camps 2

Received by Arthur Burroughs Monday afternoon after the Towards weekend party, at which he and his financee, Miss Elizabeth Dickson, My dear Mc. Burroughs:
 You will feel no surprise, I asn sure, at receiving this note. as I cna put no other construction on your wished to have the engagement be- tween us broken. It would, perhaps, have been a little more courteous if you had come to me frankly and told tie unreasonable in taking this atti- tude. The result. of course, would have been the same. Two persons whose ideas on every subject differ so radically as yours and mine could never be happy together, and I can only be grateful that you should have shown me 50 conclusively Uf. rather untactfu1ly) how you feel.

 "ELIZABETH DICKSON"
 Written fifteen minutes after re- ceipt of the atcve: Elisabeth dearest:
 What have I done? What have I dcne? Your note hit me harder than anything else ir the whole course of my life. Don't you know, sweet heart, that I love you better than the whole wide world and if you turn me down 1t will be the end of me? If I have dcne anything to make you think otherwise it was unintentional and just my awful stupidity. I know I'm 2 fool. darling. and you are worlds too clever for me, but I love you just the same and thought you cared at least a little bit for me-. Won't you please tell me what did to offend you?
 Yours always, no matter what happens.

Mir. Cummings Is Through.

MT. Editor: Criticism without a purpose in mind descends to mere lazy; or those true to their training and traditions in the school of bigot- rY. Like others of the same type in other lands, who underwent a like metamorphosis, they like to use the same comparison as they look down from the judicial bench on their poor Gupes in the dock. Direct misstate- nents, insinuated faIseheods, and sup pression of the truth meet one at every turn. Grandiose of manner and catch words and fine phrases about morality, and they weave black de- scriptions for the moral. assassination of their enemies. They have code nnonizes, of course. with their posi- ton. I can see them display hysteri- cal wrath at careless injury to q worm. But they could see thousands de that stoic indifference true to aristo- cratic form. The Influence of society. so-called. IS marvellous. The stranger is invited in. or he breaks in. as the case may be. He is introduced. The the spell is on- The trick is done. He departs. no .longer himself.

 MT. Editor: Now that VIC have busy bodies knocking the Red Cross work, let us all set busy and frown them down. We should cast all fear aside and talk right back to them. I heard 8 woman tell the sad story of a man gettic4 a sweater which a soldier should get. Honey was on her tongue. She thought it awful. We'll, here's her style. She would not give one cent to the soldierst or sailors herself So she jumped at the first excuse. Also very good man, so considered, but aisIiixed by many who know him, says he would not give to the Red Cross, for, what did they give me?" And sc we hear one knock and another But let Us start in. God knows there is need for our every effort, however little, to stand by so noble a cause Now the writer is not connected with the Red Gross, but tries to do her bit even if it is ever so little. So begin now to frown them down.

Mayor Wilson or MT. Kirk on the per sonal issue, so that is happily eliminat- ed.
 Neither are there any political is- sues. It is of no moment to the Unit ed States of America whether Bridge port have republican mayor or democratic one. Nor is it of any real significance to Bridgeport. The man and his platform are the issues that concern the city.
 That being the case, what are the is- sues?
 It remains for the two candidates to develop them. One issue is the ques- tion of booze in Bridgeport. There is to be a no-license campaign, coin cidcnt with the regular election, one way or another.
 The Standard American would like to hear their views on this subject Bridgeport Standard American.
 In our new interest in "wheatless days" especially in this part of the country. it may be well to remember the important fact that turning to "corn bread" as a substitute for wheat bread is only a halfway measure in the conservation of wheat. according to the recipes with which most house. wives seem to be familiar The preva- lent rule calls of about half corn meal and half wheat flour. One pro fessed authority claims that the best proportions are three quarters of cup of corn meal and one and a quar- ter cups of wheat flour, but probably the half and half rule is used in most households.
 Anyway. it is apparent that corn bread of the New England style con stitutes a species of camoufiage 50 far as "wheatless" days are concerned. The rigorous conscience may be in- clined to insist upon the southern corn bread, the 'pone" or hoe cake" which is composed entirely of corh meal but that is far less appealing to the palate and with our accustomed taste fl might swiftly lead to a widespread abandonment of the plan. The most welcome sysem, possibly would pro- vide rye bread for luncheon and din- ner. while for the breakfact substitute nothing better could be found than the regulation Rhode Island johnnycakes.
