SURRENDER OF THE GERMANS

people, the Telegraph points out the
fact that the German emperor ap-
points the chancellor, who names his
own ministry. The paper is emphatic
that the question of an armlstice
must be in the hands of Marshal
Foch. but insists that one could not
possibly be granted without adequate
guarantees. for instance. the sur
render of certain strategic points in
Germany.
Rights of British Nation.
Moreover. it says:
1.-THE British nation has the right
to speak on this question by virtue
of it's having borne the chief burdens
of the war and played a preponderant
part in it. The British feet,
according to the testimony of all
foreign observers. including Admiral
Sims. has been the absolutely indiS-
pensable foundation of our present
victories. We should be de-
void of the common feelings of JUS
tice and prudence if we do not demand
as one of the guarantees the surrender
of Germany's submarines and the dis
mantlinG of her high seas fleet"
Not Candid Nor straightforward.
The Times regards Germany's answer
as neither candid or straightforward and
says that Germany evadeS and at
tempts to confuse plain issues. adding:
1.-The associated governments have
not the slightest intention of accepting
mixed commissions to make arrange
ments concerning an evacuation of al
lied territories. An arrnistice with the
central powers can be reached only on
conditions analogous to those accepted
by Bulgaria. The lesson for the asso-
ciated peoples and governments is plain.
1t is to hold firmly together and sup
Fort their armies on the field by keep
ing united front at home while Presl :
dent Wilson prepares that candid,
straightforward reply which it is his
avowed intention to make.
1--WE may rest assured that the gov
eminent of the United States is as fully
determined as the people of this coun-
try that Germany in her present numil-
iation shall abide by that arhitrament
of force to which four years ago she
appealed in her presumptuous pride. The
sword must decide. There is no other

Doubt of Allies Acquiescence.

The paper shows anxiety over the
question whether the allies are really
in accord with President Wilson's
peace principles and whether they
agree with the terms he fixed for an
arimstice. 1t continues:
I'VE wish a formal declaration as to
an armistice by Great Britain, France
and Italy existed to place this matter
beyond doubt"
II believes, however. there cannot
be any practical doubt on this point
and thinks in consideration of all cir
Cumstances that there seems to be no
room for a possibility of hitch be-
tween the allies. Such hitch il saws,
cannot arise if the will of the democ-
racies which are behind President
Wilson is respected.

Best Conditions for Sleep.

The best time for sleeping is that
time that will favor the greatest de-

this Is some time during the hours
Of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses OF
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough Of them. The so-called beau
q sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight, is fact only be-
cause 1t adds to the number Of hours
which, under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend in bed.
Most Of us get up at about the same
time every morning-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't a
word of truth in the old fable that

SOCIETY HAD HIGH IDEALS
Order Of Fools, Founded In 1881. Was
Not by Any Means What IL
Name Would Indicate.

On November IL, 1881, the associ-
alton known as The Order Of Fools
was said to have been founded by
Adolphus, count Of Cleves, under the
title, "D'Order Want Geeken Gesells-
chap" Though bearing a designation
savoring too strongly Of contempt, the
members Of this order were composed
Of noblemen and gentlemen of the
highest rank and renown, who In this
way formed themselves INTO body for
humane and charitable purposes. They
were In no way connected with the
Feast of Fools and similar absurd
ties Of medieval times. They were not
dissimilar to the Odd Fellows, For
esters and other similar organizations
of the present day. which include with
in their sphere Of operations, benevo-
lent and useful as well as couYivial
and social objects.
The insignia borne by the knights
Of this order consisted Of Jester or
a fool, embroidered on the left side Of
their mantles and depicted dressed in
red and silver vest, With a cap and
bells on his head, yellow stockings, a
cup filed with fruits In his right hand,
and In bis left gold key, as symbol
Of the affection which ought to exist
among the members Of the society.
They met once year at Cleves on
the first Sunday after Michaelmas day

was held extending over seven days,

IMPROVING ON OLD MOTIONS
Ones Accustomed Ways q Doing
Things Need Not Be Accepted a.
Necessarily the Best

The idea that a wooden leg or q
false hand can be elapped onto q
wounded man and the case dismissed
with a blessing is thing Of the dis
tant past. A wooden hand Is good fol
very little except to look respectable
in the street. The thing for which
the doctors are striving IS to give
back to the injured man not q hand
but the work Of a hand.
And this opens possibilities The
work of hand may be done in an ex'
traordinary number Of ways. Some
times it is managed by a steel rod
with tools clamped to It; sometimes
by strong iron claw. Some Of the
most eager thinkers are asking:
III we are to differ from Nature
at all why not differ altogether Why
not replace one arm by two steel rods,
n even three, so long as they can be
usefulT
Men learn that the old motions by
which they have been accustomed to
get things done are not necessarily the
My ones. A farmer with one arm
an use a shovel; he simply has an
'nplement with a longer handle, which
GOES through strap at his waist
then the one arm does nothing but
,ress down on the handle and the
>hovelful Of earth is lifted just as well
IS by the old method.
If the man wants more power he
IAN use his knee. Large objects can
De moved by one arm and the hip. A
necktie can be tied by one hand and
he chin. The hand can be washed
by the foot.

Learning to Drum.

How Haydn learned to beat o drum
and the preservation Of the first one
he played make an amusing story.
There was to be a great church festi-
val. including procession through the
streets In which the choristers were as
a matter of course to take part, but
the drummer falling Ill, no one could
be found to take his place until the
director called for Joseph Haydn,
showed him how to make the stroke
and left him alone. Joseph found q
meal tub, stretched a cloth over the
top, set II on stool and began to
drum away with such vigor that the
stool was soon overturned and him
self covered with meal. But the
stroke was learned and the spectators
of the procession found their gravity
unduly taxed by the sight Of q little
fellow Of six years beating big drum
carried before him by a hunch-back,
since bearer Of ordinary stature
would have raised the instrument far
out of the drummer's reach. The drum
used on that occasion by Haydn is
still preserved in the choir Of the
church at Hamburg.

One Of our INDIAN" names loses
some Of It's flavor of romance under the
Investigation Of VIII G. Steel, gazet-
teer, in Steel Points. He says that the
musical name Of Ne-wan-nah, In Clat-
sop county, Oregon, was derived from
the circumstances that q pioneer Of the
place who employed several men also
had daughter named Hannah.
One Of the men presented her with
a hat, which she did not appreciate,
and his fellow workers made sport Of
him by calling to one another in his
presence, "Oh, Hannah" The term,
Mr.. Steel finds, finally became attach
ed to the stream as O'Hannah, subse-
Quently becoming Newannah. The
word is also said to be Indian for wa
terfall," but probably this is only CO.
Incidence, for Mr.. Steel gives full Gre
dence to the "Oh, Hannah" version.

haunts, Speedily Die From Pure
Lack Of Companlonship.

"Any sympathy that a soft-hearted
person has for captive gorillas is not
misplaced" says Miss Ellen Vely1n In
''F'rom Jungle 10 Zoo"
MANY gorillas have been captives,
but in spite Of the greatest care few
have lived more than comparatively
short time. There seems to be no par
ticular ailment from which they suf-
fer-nothing except intense home or
heart sickness. They grieve them
selves to death.
"All the anthropoid or manf1ke
apes, such as gorillas. orang-outangs
and ehimpanzees, are extremely sen.
sitlve to surroundings and environ.
ments. In order to keep these big
apes in good health 1t is absolutely
necessary to give them plenty Of COM
pany, either Of their own kind or Of
men-anything, In fact, to relieve the
tedtum of captivity, which they un-
doub lly feel. When a chimpanzee
IS new companion he goes into
the widest state of excitement; he
thumps the floor and walls, scampers
round his cage, and screams with de-
