along hand in hand, but they seem to
have strayed very far apart at some
Of the new car stops. For instance, at
the intersection of 18th and H streets
northwest, the Shoreham Hotel, the

occupy the respective corners. Hun
dreds at all hours of the day wish to
go to either one or the other of these

runs or other trifies. such as the desire
of passengers, the cars continue on and
stop a square west Of all these build
ings at point where the squirrels and
the birds Of the park have two squares
of open country to enjoy themselves,
apart from the turmoil of human en-
deavor. This is on a par with what
happens on Wisconsin avenue at st.

Winning the War

The trifing thing is triAing
still, though gifted men defend it !;
there's just one thing that fills
the bill-to win the war and end
it. To end the long-drawn Prus-
sian crime is all that is important,
and if you waste your precious
time on lesser things, you'd ortn't
Your piffling talk of politics, of
offices you're seeking, of vote
machines and campaign tricks,
with selhshness is reeking. You
talk of art and books and song,
but silence would be wiser until
we right the worlds great wrong
and can the killing kaiser. Of
margin, profit, cost and price, the
man of commerce chatters, but all
such doodads cut no ice-the war
is all that matters. Do you still
chase the sordid yen wherever
you may find it, while war is eat
ing living men, and strewing
bones behind it? Are you for fool
ish games and sports with fiery
zeal a-tremble, while in Valhalla' S
silent courts the murdered hosts
assemble? So long as Prussian
eagles scream, and kultur blasts
and skaters, there's only one i'm
portant theme, and war is all that
matters. WALT MASON.
