Climate for Fur
Bearing Animals

1t seems to me that common sense
should tell us that such state OF
weather was intended only for fur,
bearing animals. All Of the lower
creatures, supposedly Of inferior in-
telligcnce, recognize their physical
needs and seek climate beiitting their
individual covering, but not so the
commonly reputed intelligent humans
Naked and tender, they foolishly flock
to wntry climes where they have to
animals Of their skins, and where they
have to build intricate dwellings, which
even then do not adequately protect
these unreas soning bipeds from the
blasts which they were never fashioned
to endure. If we were living in a
proper climate we would not be trou-
bling about coal; VIC would be sleeping
under a palm tree in the rays of the
tropic sun. Our stupidity is quite
amazing.
Look at the people you see on the
streets of New York these monstrously
cruel zero days. They shudder and
screw themselves into wind blown semi
circles, and snlffle and scud along on
the wings Of the nor'easter, and actu-
ally don't even know that they never
should have come to such place. They
haven't acumen enough to realize that
any other animal on the whole planet,
made with such delicate skin, would
recognize the fact and not construct a
winters lair in such climate.
You see many women with thin shoes
their toes are frozen you and your
sympathetic companion thank your
lucky stars that you do rot possess
twelve fingers and twelve toes ike the
soldier whose picture was in a Sunday
paper: it would make so many to be

TN YER since the stone age, no
~ doubt, the world has been in

blood, and that your whole system is
admirably laid out for an up-to- date
refrigerating plant, that even your
very thoughts, if you ever had any,
are congealed in your freezing Uranium.

you have to reply to the cold weather

and skinny, and blue, and pinched. and
pathetic, and ugly, and insufficient, and
you also hate yourself; that is when
the thermometer plays around zero
and the streets are all slick, or snow
piled and cars are all vcrmilion.
The question now is-aftcr having
been treated to real Tcutonic orgies Of

that London cockncy boys at the front

Twice Victorious
In | wenty Years

Twice within twenty years Japanese
troops have left their country, and have
soon returned victorious. Some day
they are certain to move again. We
hope it will be to the Western front.
! But, to my mind, indications now seem
to point in northwesterly direction
from Japan, where conditions are
anarchic. They may perhaps be urged
on by necessity to protect Japanese
subjects or property throughout wide
territories beyond Harbin and Vladi-
vostok. There is an underlying eco
nomic force in the rcsistless drift Of
phenomcnally prolific race which is
overfowing its restricted island areas
like Nesuvian lavas rising over the
edge OF the crater. Man can stop one
flow as easily as he can the other. If
the Japanese should chance to drift in
q northwcsterly direction, why should
Western nations wish to divert them? I?
Such providcntial migration would kill
the yellow peril" bugbear invented by
the Germans-at least, would kill it
in 80 far as it might be thought to
menace either America, Great Britain
or France, or the smaller Allies.
Little enough has been done with
tho magnificent resources Of Southern
Siberia. Some people do not know it,
but in this favored section Of the world
there are vast stretches which are as
arabic rs those of the Canadian North
west. The climate is almost identical
In these days Of world wide need Of

it be worked poorly, or not at all, who
is to deny the moral rights Of other
tceming millions to kiss such precious
earth, and be resuscitated? Earth was
made for use, and in all ages, if those
living upon certain portions Of it were

Aged French Women
Ask to Care for the
Graves of Americans

With the American army in France
Monday. May 27-tBy The Associat-
ed Press).-Aged French women in
the villages in the rear of the Am@r-
lean sector in Picardy have asked
and received permission TO take care
Of one or more graves of American
soldiers. This tribute is all the more
impressive because it comes from
peasant women, most of whom have
been robbed of their husbands ana
sons by the war and have had hare
time to sustain themselves.
The objection with which the viii
layers regard the Americans is most
pathetic at times. The difficulty If
language is swept aside and the VIII
layers share the American sorrow )
and joys. In the villages where
American troops are billetted ana
which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants
and teach them how to use them.
