SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN is
LEERY OF THE NOTES

Washington. Oct. 24.-Senator
Chamberlain OF Oregon. chairman of
the senate military committee. in a
statement today, commenting on the
presidents note to Germany, said:
"The presidents note may fairly
be construed as diplomatic demand
for unconditional surrender. leaving
to the military authorities OF the al
lies entirely the adjustment Of the
methods.
II have sometimes thought there
ought to be an end of notes passing
between Germany and the allied pow
ers. Their effect is to withdraw the
attention Of the people of the allied
countries from the battlefront"

dump her products immediately af- ter the end of the war, or even to- day. This is one of Germany's strategic moves in her war for economic world domination, the plans for which have gone on steadily, desOile her unfayorable military situation.
 Shall American babies handle toys made by the baby killers of Germany? Americans should nev- CT forOet that the present war is only a part of Germany's plan to dominate the world commercially, and that even if she fails to gain territorial enlarg she has won the war if she emerges from it in a s-ronger economic position. All Germany's actions in the war have taken the commercial factor into consideration; the destruction of Allied and neutral merchant ships is aimed to leave Germany, after the war, the water carrier of the world; in Belgium and Northern France, the removal of machinery, the destruction of factory buildings and the deportation of trained fac tory operatives is aimed to re- move industrial competition.
 After the war Germany, filled with stolen machinery, with her own buildings and lands untouch d with raw matreials already ordered from all parts of the world, would soon be in a position to supply the world with cheap German goods while the Allied countries are re- building their industrial plants and transportation facilities.
 Could anything be more repuls- ice than to put into the hands of A meriean children toys made by the German hands which drip with the blood of countless innocent non combatants. It is the legal indi- vidual light of every American citi- Zen 10 make such careful inquiry as shall prevent their consciously pur- chasing these toys, if they be mind ed so to do.

east by a wood, with water near by, and the sun pouring in all day, number of robins seem to be kill ing time, waiting on ana on for some mysterious reason. Moreover, although they win seek to winter somewhere not far from Paraguay, they seem to feel no anxiety at the delay. Other migratory birds, also, there are, Hitting round that corner in twos and fours, all vcry shy, concealing themselves quickly on anyone's approach. They will de- part, one Of these days, and the warm corner will remain silent un- til the ice breaks up next year.
 Meanwhile We have plenty to en- joy. One year varies from another year with singular persistence. Each autumn has its special beauties. On one. conspicuously, the birches dis tinguish themselves; another, the popIars, and on yet another, the grape vines have run mad with gold and green. The naples, of course, are unfailing. These are the Beau Brummells of the woods. Never theIess, this fall the oaks have run them close, if not outrun them And, at this late day, the maple having some time ago shaken themselves free of foliage, the oaks in every shade of royal red reigns supreme. Although the height of autumn splendor is past, the final moment haz not arrived. We have yet to feel that morning. when, after sharp frost, not the mild white frost such as we are having now, the air Is wintry keen, and cod, and the woods, from one end to the other, are a golden gleaming shimmer, with the last of the falling leaves. Then the abrupt conviltion that winter is here strikes in upon the heart. It is the moment of fina' renunCiatiOn, outwardly at any rate. And We judge nature Outwardly, for that is how We know her best. - Christia Science Monitor.

Io PLACE FOR GERNIAN-MADE
GOODS

That the arrival in New York of 1O,OOO,OOO pounds of toys, every piece said to bear the words Made in Germany" may possibly set a precedent for a flood of German goods to be sent into this country from neutral countries On the plea that they are no longer owned by Germany, is the contention of Rich ara NJ. Hurd, chairman of the Boycott Committee of the American Defense Society. In a statement made public at the national head quarters of the society, he says:
 This huge shipment of toys bear iu- the abominated words Made in Germany" arrived in New York on Wednesday on board the steam ship Nieuw Amstredam, of the Hol- land American Line, which mace tho voyage from Rotterdam under guarantee Of safety by the Ger  man Government. It is reported that the Government officials at Washington admitted this importa- tion on the ground that the toys We're bought and paid for besore the United States GeclarCd var on the Huns, and have been in storage in Holland for the past two years.
 It is my sincere hope that this will not set a precedent for flood of German goods to be sent in to this country from neutral coun- tries The plea that they are no longer owned by citizens Of Ger many and, hence, that the money paid for them does not directly help Germany, The indirect help to Germany is entirely obvious in that if the United States absorbs Ger man products now he'd by neutrals, they will leave a vacuum in neutral countries into which Germany can

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has Counterpart In Real Life-story
 of Englshman.

A little more than ten years ago an Englishman, deep in the sixties, won great renown by going to q hospital.
 His illness, though severe, was ordi- nary enough. The use he made of his convalescence distinguished him.. Propped up in bed, William De Mor- gan wrote his first novel. When he was entirely recovered, he wrote an- other, which was destined to carry on his fame around the reading world.
 The book told the story of an engi- neer returned to London after many adventures. There mishap in the tube caused him to lose his memory. In the dazed state he lived new life. By chance he met his former wife, fell In love with her and married her again.
 Strange as was De Morgan'S tale critics said only he could make it con- Yincing-London itself has duplicated 1t from !,fe.
 John Arthur Lewis, returned sol. dIer, was lately haled into court for abscondlng with money he had col lected for his employers.
 His innocence was easily proved. On the collecting trip he had been struck by 6 van and injured. Bereft of his memory he wandered over England, arrived at his old home, and was in- troduced by his mother to a young

 He refused to accept his past until one night the German airmen dropped bombs, and the shock of the explosion restored his memory. Then all came back, even the uncompleted days work of last August.
 History here modIfies the ancient ob- seryation as to truth and fiction. Truth is not stranger than good writing. Rather the artist senses probably ahead of the facts and later reality corroborates him. Who knows not at least one Euoch Arden7 Tennyson guessed them all.
