But this suggestion has come i'm for
sharp criticism on the ground that it
fails to take cognizance of a point of
prime importance-namely, that the pitch
of a sound depends on the number of vi

and the number varies according to
whether the source of the sound is NOV

From the Christian Science MONT

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Some one who has observed the prog
ress Of events in the United States. since
the declaration of a state Of wal between
that country and Germany. has reached
a definite conclusion that not a single pro-
German negro has been found in the
length and breadth of the land. It IL also
stated that in many OF the parishes of
Louisiana every negro, eligible under the
terms Of the selective draft law. was not
only willing but eager to go to the front.
In some sections. when calls were made
for volunteers. five times number
asked crowded the enlistment places.
These facts form a chapter in the history
Of the American negro worthy Of being
preserved for reference when his social
and industrial status is discussed as a ma

No "QuadrupIe Alliance"
Andre Cheradame, in the Atlantic


Many Of the allies are hoodwinked by
the great Illusion which ever now
prevents them, to their endless detriment,
from seeing things as they really are. In
the allied nations, in fact. people continue
to speak of Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, as though these
states remained just as they were before
the war. Now these terms nave no longer
any relation to reality. The "Quadruple
Alliance Of Central Europe is simply a
great illusion. st%udiously fostered by Will
lam II, for by its means his plans are
vastly facilitated. AS a matter of fact,
Turkey. Bulgaria and Austria Hungary
are not the allies, but the v~assals. of Ber-
lin, and their influence with her is less
than that of Saxony or Bavaria. The rul-
ers at Constantinople. Sofia, Vienna and
Buda Pest are simply marionettes moved
by threads which are pulled by Berlin
according to her strategic needs.
