The Future of
 the Hun
By E. E. HARTMAN of The Vi9iionteS

There must be a future for the Ger man. He cannot stop and resolve into q mere memory. It is out of the ques- tion for the civilized nations to ami hilate him. For their own sakes they cannot be as savage as he planned to Ee. However many were killed in this war, there will still be many millions left to propagate.
 What manner of future awaits those millions? What will they do? What will be their status in the world? How will they prosper?
 Already many thinking people are considering the matter of German trade, German industry, German debt paying. The nation itself is making active preparations for the after-the- war campaign.
 With this war ended Germany will find herself handicapped with a double load: the debts she has incurred through the financing of the war; and the rehabilitation of deyaStated coun- tries. In order to pay either bill she must be able to manufacture and sell. She must have markets and supply them.
 In order to secure markets she must first establish confidence in her wares and in her business methods. She must gain q certain, and very decided, amount of friendly regard or the rival statesmen, the rival manufacturer, will hold too great an advantage. She can only hope to be a scavenger otherwise, for the other nations will leave her only that which they do not wish to handle.
 All Nations on Guard
 How is she going to acquire the nee essary standing, the confidence of buy ing nations. to give her these markets? Once she would have sent her thou- sands of emigrants to eolonize. with rigid instructions to demand German goods and thereby create condition that would force importations. That day is past, for in all such cases Ger. manys colonial idea carried with it the control of politics through colony bal lots. It is inconceivable that any na- ton should ever again cater to the German vote or allow 1t to be in con trol of even d fraction of national ac- tivities.
 With all nations on guard against Germanizing influences, that plan must be abandoned. If Germany, in her stupid disregard of all rights and prejudices, should attempt to again get eontro! of any part of the national affairs of America or Canada or Bra

NeIls in Dnmand

Good business in bordered veils of one kind or another is being done at retail, and the demand is reflected in the wholesale trade in the duplicate or ders received for them. Wells of this type for holiday giving are very well thought of. Especially good are fine mesh veils heavily dotted with chenille, these dots often forming the border. Veils of this type are worn either tight at the neck or hanging loose. Borders of velvet and fur also are seen, these being drawn close about the neck In t collar effect.

Bath eaas vs. Bar Soap.

Bath bags, refreshing and lathery. can be made to take the place of the bars of soap and will be found to make a big saving in the amount of pure soap used. Scrape q bar of pure castillo soap into q powder, and one half pound of orris root. one-halt pound of almond meal and one and one-half pounds of oatmeal. Make cheesecloth bags four inches square and put heaping tablespoonful of the mixture in each-less if you wish. Use same as wash cloth

This rich and graceful cape-coatee, with it's huff to match, Is one of those much-admired, two-in-one garments that are characteristic of this seasons styles. It's designer chose Hudson seal and followed two converging paths to its success, combining the free, easy lines of q cape with something of the snugness of coat. His ingenuity was rewarded in a wrap more graceful than either of its inspirations. It is much more coZy than Il cape or scarf. easily made equal to q coat for com fort. But on mild days or in the warm CT climates it is worn open at the front and hanging about the shoulders, as casually as either cape or scarf.
 When the wearer of this pretty gar ment adjusts it as protection against the cold, the ingenuity of the furrier who made it reveals itself. The mar row scarf, attached to the neck, and passing through straps of fur at the waist line. is slipped from under these straps and wrapped about the throat, and the front of the wrap fastened up to meet it. thereupon it is Il warm coatee. The muff is melon-shaped, with slashed friils at the ends and ev cry woman knows that it may actually keep the hands warm. or merely serve aS luxurious and elegant accessory of dress Both the wrap and huff are distinctly up-to-date.
 Hudson seal is q favorite with de- sgners, but these artists in furs have distinguished themselves in other peltS.

gil, for instance, it will probably lead to the barring of intercourse with her definitely.
 It is difficult to ascertain where she can first gain q foothold. With her reputation blachened by her own acts, her rotten methods thoroughly eX- posed, it will be Il hazardous thing for any nation to attempt to deal with her.
 It is a matter that calls for the sober, calm study of master minds, the consideration of all nations op- posed to Germanic ideas. It must be made matter of the most careful consideration, for upon the policy adopted by the nations will depend much of their own welfare There must be a limit set for Teutonic ac- tivity, a bound beyond which they dare not go or it will be only a ques- tion of time until the world will again have to take up the task of beating Hun deviliShness.
 It is time for the nations and their deepest thinkers to begin 10 plan and tOHSlltI, IbI II VIII LOI bN IVli- iio" until the Hun will be wanting to emi- grate from Hunland to escape the burdens he has helped to create. lie must not be allowed to shirk his task. He must be the one to pick up the burden and stagger along under it. He must not be allowed to shift it to other shoulders, iii part or in entirety.
 Must Be Kept Under Surveillance.
 The forces of many nations have been harneSsed in the effort to ham, mer some reasonable degree of sense into the Hunnish head. Next will come the prodigious effort to hold him to his work and force him to walt the straight and narrow path. IL is to be almost as hard task as fighting him into submission, if the way he is pre- pairing for a commercial campaign is any criterion.
 Unless he is so hedged about by rigid, inflexible guards that he can do only the right thing. he will soon be doing the wrong one. It is folly td think that getting d whipping Will change the Hun nature. A cracked crown will not ensure reJuVenation or any degree of reformation. He will be no more spiritually redeemed than he will be physically restored hy the war. The living Hun will need q process of refining that will require more than one generation. The dead Hun, thank God, will help to hold him where he belongs by the thinning out of evil blood when he died.
 So let us plan now for what comes later, that We may enjoy life with no fear of despotic oppression in the fn- ture years We must weld q steel ring. such as Kaiser Wilhelm loved to have about that will keep the Prus- sian on his good behavior for the next two thousand years. In that length of time. the world of deeency may make some progress toward the elm- nation of the savage part in his na- ture. and so bring him to where he is safe neighbor for decent people.

Making Our Flag
 Beloved
By HAMLIN GARLAND Of The Vigiidnfes

Among the victims of the measure less ruin which the Prussian militar- ists have wrought in their desire to dominate the world Armenia and Syria have high claim to our sympa- thy. Suffering the full horror of the conquered they have been isolated from the allies who would have helped them if they could. Turkey, the part her of Germany and the cause of the suffering and desolation of the Ar menians, is now conquered and it is possible for America to rescue the de- spairing and the hungry in those lands.
 This is duty which we cannot re- gretfully postpone. We are and must continue to be the storehouse of the world. Our resources must be put to the use of those who suffer. France a441 England, in spite of their almost inconceivable war burdens, are each doing their part in the work of freeing and feeding the oppressed. We should not fail of ready and full co-opera- tion.
 Today the War Is Won.
  gree the pinch of the war-we have hardly been incommoded. We have saved sugar and meat and flour and submitted to restrictions in other ways, but we have not suffered in the slightest the pain and the grief of other countries. The sacrifices We have made seem very small and very poor p,1,r J Poland and other equally innocent by >standers have endured.
 Today the war is won-we can seize our great opportunity. We have made our flag respected by the valor of our sailors and soldiers, now let us make 1t beloved by the wise use of our al- most limitless wealth. How great how peaceful the United States seems as we read the reports from the scourged and desolated lands of the East. From our plenty we must instantly send in order that hunger shall not end in starvation and that a whole people shall not vanish from the earth
 Germany has narrowed its field; as its allies retire they leave a multi t,rle of homeless and furnishing vic tins behind-they have no care for the ruined and the desoate-and America must step in to aid till such time as the oppyessor can be forced to in- demnify and restore.
 It is not necessary for me to re- hearse the ghastly story of TurkoPrus- sian barbaric cruelties-that has been done full and most movingly by others. My part is to plead with those who have d surplus that they may heal the
