Werfa's Highest Paid Woman Wsztar.
War and Divorce.-1.

One of the curious by-products >of
the war appears to be matrimonial
peace. Possibly husbands and wives
have found out that in times of a
world war they can get all of the fight
ing they want outside OF the home cir
Gle, and that it is more thrilling to
strafe the Hun than At is to row with
their honeys, so they have satisfied
their belligerent instints without the
necessity OF scrapping with each other.
At any rate, according to the statis-
tics, there has been an amazing de-
crease in>the number of divorces that
have been asked for since the begin
ming of the war. and reports from all
over the country indicate that the
dove of peace is brooding over more
households than was ever known be-
fore.
OF course many reasons may be as
signed for this desirable state of af-
fairs. The host obvious is, of course,
that in the face of a great tragedy we
see the little pin pricks of life in their
Ftrue proportions. Small, indeed, has
been the soul that has taken heed OF
its own little personal irritations and
grievances in these days in which a
universe is drenched in blood and
tears.
Nothing has been more significant
than the fact that people have almost
ceased TO complain of their own petty
troubles about which they would once
have walled to high heaven. Suppose
wifes pies aren't exactly like his
mother used to ,make. Husband eats
| them in silence and without criticism
thinking of the starving millions in
Europe.
Suppose a husband isn't the cornbi-
nation OF a matinee hero and John D.
Rockefeller OF a woman's romantic
dream. She's SO grateful to have q
husband at all. and a nome over her
mead. when she thinks about the wo-
men whose men have been killed and
whose houses are only little piles of
stone now that she never even notices
his failings!
Millions of people who have taken
calm, prosperous, domestic life for
granted. and as nothing more than
their due. have been shocked by the
war into a realization of how blessed
they were. and into an appreciation of
what home and love really meant
Many man has realized for the first
time how much he cared for his wife
when he tried to visualize the fate of
the women of Belgium and Flanders
Detailing her, and it has made him a
better and more considerate husband
than he ever was before.
Likewise, many a woman who has
nagged and fretted and fused at her
husband has suddenly mad it brought
home to her that such as he is, he
filled her whole life. and that her
world would be empty without him
when she thought about his going
forth to war, and possibly never re-
turning.

As long as Prussian autocracy was
winning victories the whole German
people were backing it and exulting
in its campaign of frightfulness. SINCE
the tide of war has turned and Ger
tain defeat is staring the Huns in the
face all the little nations making up
the Teutonic empire are clamorlng 10
he freed. Their representatives in the
reichstag suddenly have discovered
that President Wilson is a great ana
GOOD man and staunch friend OF
freedom and humanity. The attitude
of mind of the German people as 1t
has been revealed up to the present Is
acceptance of the miIitaristic policy
of their rulers and ratification OF any
campaign of frightfulness deemed
aidful in winning. They have SUD-
scribed to and supported the barbarlc
doctrine of kaiserism and Prussian-
ism. 1t is not likely that there has
been any change of heart among the
German people. The facts are they
are whipped, hungry and anxious to
escape the consequences of their acts

There are abundant indications that
the war will be over Before Christmas,
but so early an ending will not affect
the requirement of the seven war
agencies which are asking the nation
to subscribe next month s170, 100000
to enable these agencies to carry on
their work. The rehabilitation of 4
great army is always slow and diff
ficult process Even after the Franco
Prussian war, which lasted only a few
months, demobilization occupied more
than year The demobilizatien of
the huge f e. $ in France, and their
transportat' n o their own countries,
will be a n.ztt-r not of weeks but of
many MOI IN And during those
months, wi a the tension of battle has
been lifteu and discipline relaxed.
there will be need of the influence of
the war work agencies in redoubled
measure

There are many people in this coun-
try who can't get away from the no.
ton that there is nothing worth while
unless it comes from Europe. Not
only the best of manufactured goods
but the best of ideas, in their opinion,
come from across the Atlantic. Lack
of confidence in anything and every
thing originate in America seems to
be a failing with many Americans,
who assert an admiration for Ameri-
can institutions but continually bow
down before almost everything for
eign. For instance, Senator Owen of
Oklahoma has recently inserted in the
Congressional Record a memorandum
of reconstruction which is introduced
with the statement: ut is only by
studying the steps taken by the vari-
Gus countries, .belligerent or neutral,
on all the continents. that we in Amer
lea can properly understand the mean
ing of reconstruction" 1t may be
doubted that the only way we can un-
derstand the meaning of reconstruction
is to study the steps taken in other
countries but if that be true, we ought
not admit it. There probably are mon
in congress abundantly able to devise
plans of reconstruction and while the
study of steps taken by other countries
may help, the use of the expression ait
is only by studying is more of con-
cession than there is any occasion to
make.

A fixed limited income for educa-
tionaI institutions would be business
like. The business and industrial
world handles its affairs on a perma-
nent basis. The same system would
make possible intelligence. effective
ness and economy in educational ad-
nninistration. Those who feel this way
about it should not fail to vote for the
constitutional amendment providing
for such income.

Turkey has decided to take a short
cut to peace and will not make the
trip thru Washington. If she be in a
hurry, and of this there can be little
doubt, she has chosen wisely. Nations
desiring peace should walk right up
to the captains office and make their
wants known.
