Soap making was known to the an
Gent Romans, and there Is a theory
that they obtained their knowledge Of
the art from some Germanlc tribes who
had learned it from some Of the tribes
further to the west and north. Pliny

hard and soft soap, and he indicates
that It was a discovery which had been

knit n square several times. Both
boys and girls like the work.
They are taught to splice the yarn
when it must be Joined or to leave ends
two or three inches long to be darned
in. All knots and ridges are to be
avoided. When they have learned to
knit the squares they car take up the
muf1ers. For these they must use the
regulation gray or khaki colored yarn
that is sold for army garments, and
one pair Of No. 3 needles. For a muf-
fer 21h hanks Of yarn "a pound) are
needed. Cast on so stitches Cor a few
more or less if necessary to make a
width of II inches. Knit in the same
way as for the squares, with the plain
or garter stitch until the muller is 6S
inches long.
Wristlets may be knitted on No. 2
needles, using one pair. They require
II hank of yarn ~ pound). Cast on
4S stitches, knit 2 and purl . for u
inches, and sew up, leaving 2 inches

low the edge. The mex garment to be
taken up in the curse of training is
considerably more difficult than the
muller, but only requires two needles.
Direction for it will be given in an

In ~instructing schoolchildren in knit
ting, they must begin with the simplest
things first and advanced to those that
are more difficult, as in anything else.
Some Of the schools started out with
he six-inch squares made of colored
yarns on No. 3 needles, and after that
they undertake muflers, then wrlstlets.
The squares are used by the Red Cross
by Joining them to make small quilts
or coverlets.
Yarn and knitting needles can be
purchased either from stores or Red
Cross chapters. The standardized
Red Cross needles are In three sizes,
and their numbers and sizes are as fol-
lows:
Knitting needles, No. 1-135-1,OO O
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 2-175-1,OOO
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 3-2OO-1,OOO
inch in diameter.
The children use No. 8 needles. They
are first taught to cast on and to
avoid making their first stitches too
tight. Beginning on the small squares
the children practice until they can
make the stitches even and firm. They
must be taught to pick up a dropped
stitch and sometimes ravel out and re-

Mothers love to make dainty finery
Tor their little girls at any season of
the year, but more especially now, at
the asO when indoors is more in
wiling than outdoors. In the North
the long winter evenings must be filed
somehow and lelsurely sewing on pref
ty white clothes is as much pastime
as work. Many mothers count on jan
uary and February as the time for get
ting the little ones sewing out of the
way, before the approach of Easter
compels them to give time and attention
to the more important needs Of them
selves.
In January dry goods stores put on
their annual sales of white goods and
present their new-season models in
children's frocks - assortments are
complete and prices low, 50 the mer-
chant plays into the hands Of those
patrons who count on making up lin
gerie and child-en's clothes at this
time. Styles for little folks do not
change much; there is so little room
for improvement in them. We all like
to see the same sheer white fabrics
trimmed with the same simple needle
work, or fine embroidery and lingerie

always with babyhoOd

part of other governments. 1t was
clear, too, that Russia had been bound
to protect Serbia from Austria, and
that Germany understood this and
knew that Austria's attack on Serbia
meant war between Austria and Rus
STA, which also meant, of course, war
between Germany and Russia and be-
tween Germany and France, since the
latter was Russia's ally.
Nothing could have been more sig
nifcant than this, that Germany, being
herself already perpendicular to the
last buckle-for immediate war, de-
clared war on Russia for the alleged
reason that Russia "a getting pre-
pared for war. We know this sort of
talk of old in a thousand trials for
cold-blooded murder In our own coun-
try. "~Self-defense |" shouts the muir
derer's attorney. 1.-THE deceased made
n motion toward his hip pocket" Ger
many stood with a bright new auto
matte revolver in hand, and Russia
made a motion toward the hip pocket
where there was later found q pen
knife with two blades broken. "Self-
Defense" Germany claimed loudly
through her attorneys. "He made a
motion toward his hip pocket; so /
had to shoot him"
The German chancellor declared in
the reichstag that Russia made this
fatal motion toward the hip pocket In
spite of England's effort to keep peace.
Russia "began it," said the chancel-
lor-and then a few days later all Ger
many began shouting that England
began It'll" This was when England
fulfilled her oath to Belgium, and Ger
many broke her own.
Evidence Grows Stronger.
The evidence went more and more
against Germany, and there were some
vicious sidelights which made the case

stronger against her. The German
army vas sent into the peaceful little
country of Belgium, which it turned
into a slaughterhouse, with the owners
for victims, and the German govern
ment said that the German army did
this because it would help Germany to
conquer France. At the same time the
Germans in authority told q great
number of lies to excuse themselves.
They said that they knew they were
doing a wrong thing, and that they
were breaking the law and violating
their oath; and nevertheless they
claimed that they were justified be-
cause the Belgians were a wicked
people and France intended soon to
behave Tin respect to Belgium) as Ger
many was behaving. Altogether, the
thickness and cruelty of Germany in
the Belgian matter caused III opinions
Of the German government Concern
ing who began ~ to become much
darker. So far as Belgium went, the
Germans were finally and absolutely
convicted in the plain sight Of all men
convicted of lies as odious as they
were stupid; convicted of the most
abominable, cold-blooded plotting; con-
victei of a selfishness not seen on earth
since the seventeenth century and of a
cruelty not known since the sixteenth.
OF course, men who were capable of
these things in regard to Belgium were
of a character distinctly capable of
having plotted the great war; and,
as they lied about Belgium, they would
lie about the rest of 1t.

Since then evidence has piled up.
evidence not circumstantial but so d.

dence is colossal and conclusive, and
is almost all German. 1t is nc longer
possible to debate the question, and
the court has decided-the court con-
sisting of the nations of the world.
That court found that Germans plotted
to dominate the world and decided and
attempted to kill the men and women
and children of certain other nations,
and to continue the killing until these
nations submitted to German domina-
ton, after which all remaining nations
would be compelled to submit.

such ideas left over in the twentieth
century world, but there is no longer

PEACEFUL SOLUTION
 OF IRISH TROUBLES
 E LOND0N'S. H0PE

LONDON, April 13-There are strong hopes in London that the Irish troubles will undergo a gradual and pacific solution. An important fact is that the menace of critical events. in France over shadows all other considerations and imposes re- straint upon even all the factions of lrishmen and their ardent British supporters.
 Asquith Shows Wisdom
 This restraint has been exhibited in several ways If Ex- Premier As Quith had translated his judgment against conscription into motion to reject the governments proposal last night, he might have arrayed majority of the members of the house against it. This would have meant change of government. But Mir. Asquith considered that an inn possible thing to propose under the present circumstances, and confined himself 10 registering his conviction that conscription in Ireland would be great mistake As a result the minority which voted against con- scription was composed of Irish na- tionalists and a few liberals, most of them pacificists, and those gen. erally listed as faddists.
 Dillon's Words Count
 John Dillon and Joseph Devlin tempered their fight against conserip- tion with the statement that the icause of Great Britain in the war was just cause. MT. Devlin went further by proclaiming his desire to fight for it. This attitude is bound ito have an influence in Ireland.
 Ireland is Prosperous
 Ireland is enjoying a prosperity heretofore unknown. She is the chief feeder for England. Her farmers are becoming rich. They are the backbone of the country and rebel lious events would destroy their pros perity.
 The Sim Feiners, of course, are irreconcialable. But they represent none of the property interests of the country.

ALLIANCE LEADER GETS INTO PRISON
 FUR STATEMENTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

ST. LOUIS, April 13.-Dr. Charles W. Weinsberg, of St. Louis, president of the Missouri branch of the German American alliance, was arrested to- night on a warrant issued from the United States district attorneys of flee charging violation of the espion- age act. He will be held in jail with out bond pending his appearance Mon day before the United States commits sioner. The action was based on an alleged declaration by Dr. Weinsberg in a newspaper interview that the war would end in six months with Germany as the victor. Dr. Weinsberg, in the interview is quoted as predicting that the Austro- German forces would break through the Italian lines, as sooE as weather permitted and that they would then pass through northern Italy and invade France from the Italian from tier. This invasion, he said, would either outflank the allied forces or will make it necessary for the French to send troops which they cannot spare to hold back the new inroads. This would make possible the breaking of the French lines elsewhere and would bring about the defeat of Franch from which the British and American forces would have to be withdrawn.
 With Germany victorious over France, he is alleged to have deelal ed the war will become a naval and com mercial contest between Germany and America and Ensland--a confliet which. he said, it would not be lto the interest of any of the parties 10 proIong in view of the British food shortage of food and American uE-
