THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS.

Germany has asked, thru President
Wilson, for the allies terms of an
armistice. There should be no other
Terms than unconditional surrender.
While asking for terms the Hun
leaders are trying to make it appear
that the government of Germany has
passed to the people If this were
true it should make no difference in
the final peace terms. Despite repre-
sensations to the contrary the govern
ment of Germany is today just what it
has been turnout the war. 1t is the
government the German people have
been content to maintain.
The whole German people-con-
servatives and radicals. imperialists
and socialists-rallied loyalty around
the kaiser and welcomed the oppor-
tunlty to march under his banner to the
peaceful hamlets of Belgium. where
these same German people engaged in
oarbartc brutality unprecedented in
the history of the world. The pre-
tense that the acts of cruelty ara
chargeable only to the kaiser or TO
Hindenburg is untenable.
Every act of vandalism, every
atrocious mutilation of civilian or mill
itary prisoners. every indignity to
helpless womanhood, was the act, not
OF the kaiser, but of the German peo-
PIE, who, by choice, continued the kali
ser as their representative leader and
spokesman. To say OF assume that
the millions of armed Germans who
went out to conduct aggressive war
against inoffensive nations were but
the puppets of the kaiser, is to insult
the intelligence of any person to whom
the suggestion is offered.
The German people have had the
kind of government they wanted, they
have participated in the kind of war
fare they wanted. and they hoped to
ravage Great Britain and America as
they ravaged Belgium and northern
France. These are facts that admit
of ne question or dispute.
Any lehiency or consideration ex-
tended to the German people will not
be understood or appreciated by them
but will be regarded as an evidence of
weakness on the part of the allies.
The leopard does not change his spots.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Several
months ago I was keeping company
with a young man four years oder
than 1 am. I know he cared a lot
for me, but 1 did not want him to
think 1 cared for him. AS result
we had n quarrel and I was entirely
in the wrong. but I had too much
pride to own up afterwerd. Then he
started to take another girl to the
theater and dances and would always
get near me and make a fuss over
her, altho his friends told my chum
he was just doing that to spite me.
He enlisted recently in the army
and writes to the other girl. Before
he went away he stopped me on the
street and said goodbye, but did not
to me. I do not want to write to
him because he may not answer
have tried to forget him. but find it
impossible. 1 do not enjoy myself
no matter where 1 so. Please tell
me what to do. SORRY
You must forget him. 1t can be
done because many people who have
loved deeply and lost have forgotten
and later been happy with some one
else. OF course you cannot forget
without trying. If you. permit your
thoughts to dwell on him whenever
tiAoO SllOoSC YOU Will llOl lCTSel. De
active and work hayd. Also go out
with young people-girls, if there
are no boys available.
Do not take all the blame for the
quarrel. Quarrels are always caused
by two people. Only too often girls
take all the blame, when they are
forced to take a stand because of the
boys aggravating indifference.
You are right in deciding not to
write to the boy. There would be
great chance that he would never
answer.
Deor Mrs. Thompson: I have a boy
friend and he bothers me terribly.
When 1 go to a party or any place
where he is he wants to take me
home. He has told lies about me and
also my girl friends. 1 do not like the
boy at all and I don't associate with
him very much. E. w
Since you do not like the boy, never
accept any invitations from him or
offers to take you home. II you ac-
cept occasionally he will feel encour-
aged and it will be more difficult for
you to get rid of him. Do not worry
about lies that are told if there is no
ground for them.

PEACE BY THE SWORN.

There have been many suggestions
regarding the proper method for
bringing the war to a close, but prob
ably none Wilt meet with more general
approval than that of Leslie's, which
follows:
We must not stop this war until our
soldiers have crossed the Rhine We
must make no peace until we have laid
waste one or two of Germany's fair
est cities, destroyed some of it's most
productive industries and devastated
some of its fertile valleys. GERMANY
must be taught the Biblical lesson that
he who takes up the sword must per-
ish by the sword. This lesson it has
never learned. Hence it's ruthless
ness.
And as Germany. after Sedan, re-
fused to make peace with the estab-
lished French government, but de-
manded that a popular assembly ba
called at Versailles, so we should re-
fuse to make peace with Germany I'M
til all its military gang of outlaws
have been set up agains the wall and
shot.
And the treaty of peace should be
signed Inter den Linden, in Berlin.
Germany's signature should not be
given by a kaiser or crown prince, but
by Representatives of the German peo-
pie in congress duly assembled.
Let us have peace-peace by the
sword!

The Belgian government, it is re-
ported, has begun making out its bill
for damages against Germany. When
completed the account will represent
a huge sum. Germanys responsibility
for these damage claims clearly is set
forth in Article 81 of The Hague con-
ventien, dealing with the laws and
customs of war, which reads: 1.-THE
belligerent who violates the provisions
of the said regulations will be liable to
pay a penalty. and it also will be re-
sponsible for all acts committed by
those who form any part of it's armed
forces That Germany, or her armed
forces. repeatedly have violated the
regulations defined by The Hague
treaty admits of no question, altho she
now is trying to evade at least some of
her responsibility by denials and the
plea that her military orders not al
ways have been obeyed.

The allied war council is preparing
to submit terms OF an armistce TO
Germany. Whatever these terms may
be Germany will accept them because
she must. if not on the day they are
offered then on the next or the next.
Accept them she will. She has no
choice. Her allies are falling away
from her and her armies are being
beaten in the field. Her navy is use
less to her. even her submarines have
been put out of business by the cap
ture of their bases of operation. Ev-
cry day that she shall postpone ac-
ceptance of the allies terms will add
20 her losses of men, guns, war mater
ial and occupied territory. All this is
as well known and understood in Ger
many as it is outside. Since she can
gain nothing by proionging the strug-
gle. it seems probable that she will
'ose little time in accepting the allies
.erms when they reach her in the
form of an ultimatum. Good sense
and consideration for their own inter-
est demand it and nobody can accuse
Germany of not looking out for No. L.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Wo9ad's Highest Paid Wemap WkfhaR.


Also millions of women have gotten
a new perspective on their husbands.
They had never thought of the plain,
practical, unromantic men to whom
they were married as heroes. They
had never suspected that the men they
had always known as being engrossed
with the state of his grocery trade, or
the stock market. had any sentiment
concealed about their persons, or that
they were capable of making su-
preme sacrifice for an abstract ideal,
or doing a deed so heroic that it put
their stage and film idols to shame.
And when such woman saw her
husband give up the position that he
had spent SO many years of hard work
in. reaching. or leave to laundering
hands the conduct of the business that
was his own hearts blood, and go
forth to fight, and die for his country,
if need be. she saw for the first time
the real man to whom she was mar
ried, and he looked like a god to her.
And that's one reason why women
who form most of the matrimonially
DISCOUNTED, have quit hammering in
such numbers at the doors of the d.
vorce court. For women are idealists
and hero worshippers, and they can
forgive anything to the man who has
it in him to be great on great &C.
casion.
Perhaps. tho. the chief reason why
war has made a decline and falling OF
in the number of divorces is because it
furnishes the temporary separation
that most husbands and wives need in
order to rest their jaded nerves and
whet their satiated appetites for each
others society.
For if propinquity is the great match
maker it is also first aid to divorce.
There is no human being of whom
we do not tire in time. No charms
that do not pail upon us If We get an
overdose of them. No virtues that do
not turn into faults If we gaze at them
perpetually. Unbroken domesticity is
quails in thirty days that no stomach
can stand.
Husbands and wives quarrel and
fight. and rush to the divorce court
simply because they are fed up with
each other. They think they will be
perfectly happy if they can only be
parted. and when they get their de-
cree they find out that they have be-
come habit to each other, and they
are misera BILE apart.
The war is affording these people
the opportunity to make this discovery
and find out how near and dear they
are to each other, and many woman
who was pricing tickets to Reno is
weeping now over ragged letter from
the front, and wondering how she
could ever have imagined leaving
John; and many a man, lying awake
in the trenches is asked himself how
he ever could have been fool enough
to have thought for a minute that
there was any other woman in the
world than the stout, grizzled haired
vito who had worked and toiled so
faithfully by his side.
oh. war has its blessings. And one
of them is that it makes men and wo-
men know each other better.

suits are more than commonly

A CHANCE TO SAVE,

Wartime efficiency in great indus
trial states is suffering because of pre-
ventable sickness among wage earners,
according to the findings in an Off
cial preliminary report by the Health
insurance commission of Pennsyl-
vania.
In Pennsylvania alone, the report
states, there is foss of $4,000
working days each year, and a wage
loss of $16, 100000 due entirely to pre-
ventable illness of workers.
Every worker in Pennsylvania, the
commissions investigators found.
loses on an average six days a year
because of sickness. At this rate the
loss to the shipyards would be 100000
days annually. or time enough to build
1000 big ships. The loss to the coal
mines would be 2.142,o00 working
days. in which time 100000 tons
could be mined, enough to keep all
the people of a great metropolis warm
for more than year.
The report declares that present
facilities for the medical care of
workmen are unsatisfactory, more
tIldA One-lOuEln OIL the seriously SICK
workers having received no medical
care whatever and more than half of
those who are sick still trying to work
without medical attention. Hospital
facilities are shockingly inadequate,
according to the report, which states
that in sixteen counties there are no
hospitals at all.
State administered health insurance,
now being investigated by the Penn
sylvania commission as we'll as by leg
islative commissions in seven other
states. is supported by labor organiza-
tions in most of the industrial states
as a foremost measure of national eff
fectiveness for the purpose of reclaim
ing the human and Industrial waste
caused by preventable sickness. 1t
provides that at cost of only a few
cents each week to the worker and his
employer, the wage Garner and his
family will receive in time of sickness
a cash benefit to meet family ex-
penses and in addition adequate med
ical treatment including a specialists
service and hospital care If required,
and special maternity benefits for
working mothers and wives of working
men.
