She was very properly ashamed OF
that, and, when he failed to reply out
of sheer inability to think Of one that
would not say too much, she went
hastily to something else: ut is hard
for me to realize that you--that you
lived Il life of your own, busy life,
doing useful things, before you came
to us. l wish you would tell me some
thing about yourself If we're to be
friends when you go away,"-she had
to stop there, for the lump in her
throat-'Ill want to know how to

for the colonies, and who had given
himself and his oldest sou then to the
cause that he made his own. He told
of old servants who had wept when he
decided to close the house and GO
away. When she fell silent, he thought
he was interesting her.
But Il terrible thing was happening
TO Sidney. Side by side with the won

placing the little house. What an exile
it must have been for him. When X.

Unload Your Cars.

Ross P Andrews, president of the Retail Mer-
chants Association sounded a mighty timely warning
to the merchants of Washington at a meeting held
few nights ago He condemned and warned against
the practice of merchants who do not unload
freight arrival
This warning not only strikes the roots OF a very
dangerous condition, but adds evidence to the watch
fulness of the head of the merchants association
Several months ago Mr.. Andrews startled the people
of Washington by predicting that the population of
the city would increase than $1,000 in six months
At the time his prediction was discounted by quite
few people, but events have than truthed his
words And now Mr.. Andrews foresees another
dton which must be treated with immediate remedies
According to his report, the tracks around Wash
ington filled with loaded cars He cites instances
where have remained on the tracks for sew
eneen days and that while there facilities for the
unloading of 500 day, there frequently
many 1000 in the yards.
The railroad situation at this time is in a befud-
died condition, owing the strain placed upon by
activities. Every known agency is being
brought to bear upon the problem in the hope of
efficient solution. But the problem cannot be solved
by the railroads alone. There must be cooperation
from everyone who railroads.
1t may be a bit inconvenient times to unload
your promptly but remember that the car you
holding may be the one slated to bring your
next lot of goods The fact that business is good
will not eliminate all your troubles. Your statesmen
may sell until they blue in the face, but unless you
deliver the goods the cash balance will not climb
You cannot sell goods that lying in New York,
or Boston, Philadelphia, or Canada, or anywhere
else but right here in Washington, D. c.
And unless you put your shoulder to the wheel of
this transportation problem, some morning you will
awake to the fact that you have books full of orders
and empty store.
Get bXSy. Unload your cars

Striking but Dangerous Policy.

There is the glitter of shrewd international policy
in the ultra-beral treatment that the President has
decreed toward Austro- -Hungarians now resident in
the United States.
There is also the danger that this liberaty may be
capitalized contemptuousy by of these enemy
aliens and the black sheep which will flock under the
generous Federal cover provided for them.
If Our generosity had been cruelty abused here
tofore, would commend unreservedly the policy
adopted by President Wilson We cannot do so now
we must await results. 1t had been generally ex-
pected that the President would make effort to dis
crimnate between the sheep and the goats, but not
that he would wave his wand and turn them all into
sheep by executive fat Some of the most dangerous
enemy spies and propagandsts in the country have
been Austrians Presumably this fact is we'll known
to the Department of Justice. The surveillance
these sinister aliens should not be sackened because
of the terms that have been rendered them
all
This clever, cutting distinction between Prussians
and Ausrians-wl it have any effect in the councils
of Vienna? Will it get under the hide" of Ger
mans? Will the broad, unveiled ntimation that all
Germans are unworthy of trust, while Austro-H Hum
garians are to be treated worthy unless proved
otherwise, fatter major wing of the Central En-
pires, while it enrages the other? We hope it will
measurably increase international comprehension of
the fact that the United States has branded Prussia
and her system the thing which must be tanned
and beaten before the world again be at peace
that will never abandon Our effort to sever the
oond between her and her dupes and accomplices.
Emperor Charles should study the viewpoint of
Washington and consider frankly his present situa-
ton with the false military gamor that Berlin has
IMPOSED on him. He will find in America the key to
his golden opportunity, if he will but grasp it.
