Dear Cynthia Grey: Il am a
high school girl of 16. My par
ents live in the country and l
am boarding in the city and
going to school. At the home
where / am staying, there are
two other boarders, a young
lady, and a man about 80 years
old. This man seems to have
taken a fancy to me, and has
been very nice to. me, all of
which l appreciate for at times
L am very lonely. I do not know
many people here as yet.
Last evening he invited me
to attend the theater with him
at a near date. l would dearly
love to do so, but there is just
one thing that holds me back.
He is married, tho his wife is
still in the east. She Is COM
ing out tho in a few weeks to
join him.
Do you think there would be
any harm for me to go just this
once? He is always so nice and
respectful / do not see where
the harm would be?
JOsELYN.
Trample your desires, my LITTLE
girl, and decline the invitation o.
''this very nice man."
This is the first little move ir
the wrong direction that must b.
il the good girl is to keel
her innocence and keep aboard tht
ship of right-living and happiness
You are at the first fork ON the
of your life.
Now is the time to decide which
road you are going to follow. Shall
IL be the one that looks o bil
shady and a bit alluring and a bil
off color? Or shall it be the one
on which you have been travelling
up till now, a path in which there
can be no shadows Of regret and
no remorse of tomorrow?
This is very simple way fol
you to answer the question.
Just supposing you were the
wife in the east, happily awaiting
the day when you were to join
your husband In the west. Would
it make you happy or sad to know
that he had taken some girl to the
II you cared for that husband
there would be only one answer
Some day you may be a wife. And

TOTRADE WITH SOVIETS
Swedish Business Organ Finds In

With the Government.

Cablegram to The Evening Star and

STOCKHOLM, November 27.-The
Swedish business organ Svensk Han
delstidning, having thoroughly inves~
itigated the present Russo-Swedish trad
ing conditions and consulted the chief of
the Russian division of the Swedish Ex-
port Association and other experts, an
nounces that it is impossible to do BUSH
ness with the soviet government. Many
visits to Russia were made by the asso-
cations other semi ofhcial delegates
with view to facilitating trade, but
when they presented practical propo-
sitions the bolsheviki met them with
extreme socialistic fantasies and gave
licenses which were revoked soon
afterward or which other authorities,
or even irresponsibles, such as rail-
way men, wharf laborers and red
guards, refused to honor. The result
was hopeless chaos. The Scandina-
Wan business world decided to await
the allied action.
Newspapers have Investigated the
changes in the German diplomatic
representation here and have found
only one alteration. The word "impe-'
rial'' has been crossed out on the note
paper of the legation, but otherwise
all business is as usual.

Old Views Are Changed.

In their view our maximum speed
was always developed in dollar chas-
ing. This view has been upset. Those
aspiring toward justice, whatever
their nationality now. look to America
hopefully. They believe both in her
power and in her purpose. If we JUS
tify this in fact, immense should be
our reward in time to come.
If, Immediately on the conclusion
Of hostilities, we rush to seize every
industrial and commercial opportunity
which our comparative freshness may
bring within our grasp. the world will
turn against us in sentiment, charging
US with disloyalty to the lofty prin-
ciples for which we went to war.
This does not mean that we must
pay the price of neglect Of our inter-
ests for the sympathy of other ma
lions, 1t means only that we should
use our relatively great strength dur
ing the period of reconstruction with
"a benevolent recollection Of what
Britain. France. Italy and other ma
lions have done for US. Huge fmme-
date material gains undoubtedly lie
ready to the hand Of American enter
prise, but there is a gain greater than
these. There is q gain of the good
will Of the world with its promise for
the future.

PRESIDENT BEGGED
TO RESCUE EUROPE
Only Person in Whom People
Have Perfect Confidence,
ROLAND Says.
MASSES NEED LEADER

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
PARIS, November 27.-Romain Roll
land has addressed the following open
letter to President Wilson:
THE peoples are breaking their
chains. The hour which you foresaw
and desired is sounding. May it not
sound in vain. From one end of
Europe to the other there is arising
among the people determination to
regain control of their destinies and
to form regenerated Europe. Their
hands are seeking to meet across the
frontiers, but an open abyss of dis
trust and misunderstanding still lies
between them. A bridge must be
thrown across this gulf The irons of
ancient fatalism must be broken
which have chained these peoples to
national wars and for centuries have
made them rush to mutual destruc-
ton. Alone they cannot break them
and they are calling for help.
President Alone Can Help,
But whittier shall they turn? You
alone, Mr.. President, among all those
who are now charged with the re-
doubtable honor of directing the pol-
icies of states-you alone enjoy uni
versal moral authority. Every one
has confidence in you. Answer the
call OF these pathetic hopes. Take
hold of these hands which are reach
ing out and help them to meet. Aid
these cropping peoples to find their
way and found new charter of
freedom and union, the principles of
which they are passionately and con-
fusedly seeking. Think of it. Europe
threatens to fall back into the circles
OF the hell out Of which it has been
climbing and staining the roads with
its blood. The people of all coun-
tries lack confidence in the ruling
classes. You are still at this hour
the only one who can speak alike
to both the proletariat and middle
classes of all nations and be listened
to by them-the only one who can
today (can you still tomorrow?) act
as an intermediary between them.
Should this intermediary be lack
ing. then the disjointed human masses
without counterbalance will be drawn
almost fatally into excesses-the
proletarfat toward bloody anarchy,
and the parties Of the old regime
toward bloody reaction. There will
be class wars, race wars, wars be-
tween former nations, wars between
nations which have just been formed
and blind serial commissions seeking
only to crafty the hatreds, desires
and wild dreams Of one hour of life
without any tomorrow.
Heir Of Washington and Lincoln.
'.Heir Of Washington and Abraham
Lincoln. take in hand the cause not of
one party or of one people, but Of all.
Convoke the representatives of the
people to a congress Of humanity Pre-
side thereover with all the authority
which your high moral conscience
and the powerful future of immense
America gives you. Speak, speak to
every one! The world hungers for a
voice which carries beyond the from
tiers of nations and classes. Be the
arbiter of free peoples and may the
future salute You with the name Of
reconci1iator."

British Plan After-War Trade.

Nothing less is possible to them, for
