pay the price. Then why not pay for

The problem Of school lunches for
the mother who has this daily routine
is n which needs study and plan
ming. The sandwich, however good,
attractive and in what variety, is not
the whole idea of food for the lunch
basket. The usual hard-boiled egg
which is so frequent in the lunch,
might be replaced by a cooked egg,
finely chopped and well seasoned, put
into a small jar with a screw cover.
Other edibles Of soft nature might be
served in the same manner, such as
potato or other salads, q little fresh
fruit in season, canned fruit, apple

Coffee or lemon jelly is a great IA

Every German success in the war has been
characterized by the essential, indispensable
quality-surprise Lacking this the Boche has in
variably failed
lie tried to wreck France and win the war
in the first six weeks by this element of superior
preparation and Surprise" blow involving the
prostitution OF Belgium to his military purpose.
He got TO the gates of Paris, but missed his goal
by comfortable margin.
The catastrophe collapse of the Russians on
the Donahec and the Dneister in the autumn of
1915 was brought about by the same type of shiftv
sudden, unexpected attack by Won Mackensen ON
vulnerable points. The Russians were beaten in
the first few days of that terrible retreat which
did not end until Przemysl and Czernowitz had
fallen.
The attack Verdun was aimed in the same
spirit, and failed because it was compeIIed To
sIacken and slow down through the fearful
slaughter OF the crown princes forces This gave
the French time to stiffen their defense and Yer
dun thereby was saved
Ihe recent offensive against Italy is the most
spectacular Of all German successes and was based
80 essentially on surprise that it was virtually an
ambush and betrayal.
The point of all this recital of old campaiVns
IS this-that for once the Germans are abandonino
their surprise policy, and are about to open an
offensive which has been heralded press-arented
and awaited for months. We refer to the COMING
blow IN the West, which, unless every prophet is
badly fooled, is to be struck within the next few
days weeks.
Hindenburg, whose whole glory and reputation
are built around the Masurian Lakes, where he
Slaughtcred an entire Russian army corps by am
bushng and surprising them, is now about to make
ms supreme attempt to win a decision through
main torce. This in view of the fact that most An
thoritics agree that the British and French have
superiority of men and of guns on the Western
front
1t may be possible that he has another sur
prise lurking up his sleeve another surprise stroke
which he hopes will win in the face of almost GER
tain failure. But all evidence points to the fact
that he IS masSing troops and guns with the DUR
pose oil trying the kind of concentrated as
sauits against the French and British that he did
against the Russians On that basis the allied
world can face the future with the utmost CON-
hdence, as Secretary of War Baker points out.
The world is waiting for the Germans to strike
Ii may or may not be their last blow their final
throw of the dice, but at any rate, it will represent
their supremest effort to achieves decision which
has continually eluded them

The Kaiser Gets What He Wants.

II things are what they seem, the hrm OF
Lenine Trotzky & Company, actually has been
bullied and blackmailed into signing treaty OF
peace with Germany.
Poor Bolshevikl Honest and sincere" is what
President Wilson called them; honest and sin
cere" a reluctant world was willing to hope that
thew were after the first flush of anger their
seeming duplicity and disingenuousness.' They
called themselves nternationalists and pleaded the
cause of the proetariat. The proletariat betrayed
them at home by forgetting and ignoring even the
simplest dictates of duty and patriotism and good
condnct the instant that discipline relaxed the
proletariat in Germany and Austria-Hungary be-
trayed them abroad, matter what the mutterings
and the rumbngs of revolution may have been,
because it still submits to the iron will of the
autocracy. Bolshevism in the central empires is
yet no more than name and theory.
In their hour of miserable futility and i'm
potence, it is wise to throw the Bolshevki out
OF the equation OF no consequence. The seed
that they have planted will not be altogether bar
ren. Out of its travail Russia will grid itself to
a greater sacrifice and will execute at no distant
day genuine comeback" cynically unimportant
though that prediction may seem in the present
aspect of the Out of the Bolshevist welter Of
internationalism and loose, greasy, ineffective
mouthings about class war" and brotherly love,
something big will be born for the future of the
world. Humanity in all countries particularly in
Germany and Austria, is willing to listen to any
form OF sophistry and insanity, provided it is less
insane than There is beyond all doubt and
question living and growing revolution in Ger
many. The soul OF a people, no matter how sod
den and debased it seems, cannot have the life
crushed out OF it even by such group of supreme
criminals as the Prussian military autocracy. 1t
must reassert ITSELF even if in other mood
than that of desperation and despair

today may be ancient history and mere scrap

The Sacrifice Of Self.

AT time like the present it is not only es-
sential but imperative for every good citizen to
play his part in the world war to the best OF his
ability. This applies with equal force to the man
who labors with his hands to the capitalist who
tolls as earnestly and as honestly by using the
mind given him by the Giver Of all good.
Even the children of men are being taught the
lesson of self sacrifice that the danger OF sharing
the fate of the little children of Belgium may be
averted. The home life is being adjusted to fit
conditions caused by the war, and the world will
benefit because of it
We have never shared in the pessimism that
labor was restless to the extent that it was dis
loyal. On the contrary, believe that never
before in the history of this country has labor
been as loyal as it is today. 1t has met every
emergency so far with a patriotic spirit that
speaks volumes for the manhood Of America.
The fact must not be lost sight OF, though,
that we are young in the The tremendous
sacrifice made by England and France and Bel
gium have been equalled in Rumania and Serbia
and in the early stages by Russia itself-and we
must not ignore the fact that our entry into the
war came after heroic deeds were performed by
our allies across the seas
So, let us grid up loins, for the end is not
in sight. There can be only one end-but as life
itself to only through the self-sacrice OF
our mothers we must be prepared to sacrifice even
more than life that liberty may be sustained
throughout the world.

Mr. Couzens retired few years ago with
S2o,ooo,ooo or $3ooooooo in cash, an interest in
the Ford plant bank and few other lusuries.
He was a publie-spirited citizen, and as Detroit
needed regulating he began to regulate it. He
didn't suit "the gang" and it yesterday jumped on
the, absent commissioner of police and asked him
to resign.
Mr. Couzens is in Washington today, and he
says the word resign is not in his vocabulary
We hope he will and that he will come to Wash
ington and help. This country needs men OF the

Tempora Mutantur; or, who's Loony Now'
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.


Do YOU remember how We laughed defiance
At those old Farmers and their Freak AilianceF
How reprehensible!
But now the Alliance of those Farmers sons
Is asked to save the whole world from the Huns,
But that's quite sensible
Do YOU remember how swung our hsts
At those wild notions Of the Populists?
How reprehensible!
And now their plans at which we made such faces
Become governmental commonplacesi
Oh, yes, quite sensible!
Do you remember that fool Greenback set
Who wanted money easier to get?
How reprehensblc!
And now we have the Federal Banking scheme
Which helps some people realize that dream,
And think it sensible
Do you remember Socialists and such ,,,
Who tried to get this government lin Dutch?
How reprehensiblel
BY making it-and us-assume control
OF railroads, manufactures food and coal?
Er-yes, quite, sensible!
Do you remember how some people tried
To have the hands of Labor unified?
How reprehensblel
And now we try to Unionize democracy
Against the Teuton "scabs" who serve Autocracy
And find it sensible.
Well, we'll the way such foolish folk recur
Shows how the human mind is prone to err
How reprehensiblei
They had their day; they raised their puny row
And-seemingly the whole worlds loony nowl +
And calls it sensible! s

Sometime. But Not Always.

"The world will be fooled So let's fool it"
was the life philosophy of Bolo Pasha, whom the
French going to execute for treason
The trouble with this philosophy is that the
world doesn't stay fooled for long, and when the
world finds out it is likely to take off the fooers
head and show it to him, fguratively speaking.
Indeed, most of the fellows whom history calls
Great were merely foolers Way back, there was
Alexander, who tried to fool the world into be-
lieving there nothing more to conquer, by per-
sonal weeping when he hadn't conquered
himself He died, in his thirties, of drink and
chronic lasciviousness.
Caesar for a time, fooled the world into think
ing that Rome was the world and himself Rome.
Pretty soon some OF his intimate friends stuck
their knives into him.
Napoleon, temporarily made Europe think that
it couldn't get along without him. Europe came
to, and Napoleon passed his last years lonely
island plagued by just an ordinary stomach trouble
Comes now VIM. Hohenzollern. Having fooled
some 65ooo,ooo folks into belief that he is Gods
vicegerent entitled to world dominion, he tries to
fool the whole world about it; and he, too, will hnd
that it doesn't really pay
To be sure the world is fooled often But, IN
selecting world-foolery life business, fellow
ought to include a determination to cash in early
and provide a reliable cyclone cellar in advance
Therein Bolo Pasha failed, and they're going to
hang him, or spoil his philosophy in some other
way equally as thorough.

Thinks he holds much OF TIME since

Hath it to use all wastefully-
And all is spurious! No single bit
Is aught but merest counterfeit.
His days are bogus. and his hours
Wholly devoid Of fruitful powers.
And that which as pure gold might

Some sort of glorious reward
To crown with laurel and with bay
