After the War-AuStria Will

Thrty-four Languages, Bitter Hatred and Revolution
viii Keen the Hapsburgs Busy.

Many man, smiling with the others, gambling or
drinking, pretending cheerfulness, is secretly wondering
what he going to say what excuse he Will Offer after the
gets home, when the party is over.
Two emperors William of Germany and Charles OF
Austria apparently having nice time at the murder
party wondering what they will say when the party
is overland the dead the blind the horribly crippled are
counted
Military glory like drunkenness is all very well while
it lasts But there is awakening and for Germany and
Austria it isn't far off.
In Austria particularly the Hapsburgs with their as
sorted collection of small peoples hating their despotlc
ruler talking least thirtyfour different languages and
rebels IN ALL will produce such condition of chaos
archy and revolution as will make the Russia of today
like Quaker meeting and send the Hapsburg-as many
of them may to England or France for
protection.
Conditions in Austria admirably described by Louis
Hammerng himself Austrian by BIRTH and for years the
great power the foreignlanguage newspapers Of the
United States
Only an Austrian finding in this country the freedom
and prosperity denied him at home could write with the in
formation and energy displayed by Mr.. Hammerling in
his editorial which published in his newspaper The
Leader on August 49, 1914 within weeks of the decara
ton of
Mr. Hammerlng wrote under the well-selected head

ing. all the time, over the worlds
tragedy
We should not weep a. all-if
we can help it. We have no time
for tears. We should work with
all the energy and ability there is
in us. When we have exhausted
that energy we should relax.
That relaxation, whenever it is
possible, should take the form of
laughter-for laughter s the best
relaxation in the world
The man who laughs in the
trenches trebles and quadruples
his value as a fighter. His COM
rades laugh with him, and are
braced up by their laughter.
The doctors and nurses who
laugh with their patients supple
ment their medicines with some
thing that is beyond price.
Laughter Club.
Among our public workers the
value of laughter as relaxation is
so we'll understood that they get it
whenever they can. We see them
at the theaters, laughing over
comedies. We see them in the
moving picture houses, enjoying
and forgetting.
We see them forming groups
and clubs, whose sole purpose is
u carry them out of their work
for a blessed ho1r or two, in order
that they NAV hurl themselves
into that work with renewed vigor.
One social club of ten has a ruI-
ing that during its meetings not
one serious remark shall be made.
Any one who forgets this rule
and makes a serious remark dur
ing a social evening pays a large
fine. Thus far exactly two such
fines have been imposed.
At a recent meeting the chair
The Washington times., 1918-05-13
LAUGHTER is BETTER THAN MEDICINE

man Of the group came in exhaust
ed after a protracted business
meeting. at which a very big ma
tional problem was finally solved.
He was physically down and out. !"
81 can't stay" he said. I'm go
ing home to bed"
But he did stay. At the end Of
the brief social session one of his
associates made a brief speech.
The rule is he said, that
anyone who. makes a serious re-
mark here pays a fine. On the
other hand there ought to be a
special reward for the person who
is least serious. As our chair
man has. been the gayest man
among US this evening, we have
decided, as a special tribute to pay
his share Of the evenings enter
tainment."
From the outbreak of the war,
France has given US wonderful
lessons in cheerfulness. During
one Christmas season when her
outlook was blacklist the French
people sent to their friends
throughout the world a postal
card which illustrated the indom-
liable spirit of their country.
1t showed a magnificent rooster,
with head back, and wings ex-
tended, Growing with all his might.
Above him was the legend: Up
with the hearts and long live
France"
Let US lend ourselves to the cit
tie nonsense now and then" that's
"relished by the best of men," Let
US be cheerful. Cheerful in our
war work, cheerful on our jobs,
cheerful in our homes.
Let us even be cheerful in our
hearts. That's the hardest task of
all.
The Washington times., 1918-05-13

and really startling resemblance to
the ferociOus face of the dog.
Her fellow guests stopped short
on the stairs, cOnvulsed with
laughter.
Il can do that, too" said an
other beautiful woman. She tried
the experiment. She succeeded
surprisingly well. The other guests
were filled with a spirit OF emula-
ton.
Two Of the party, Miss X. and
Mr.. Y. constituted themselves a
jury. They sat down on the steps
10 pass on the exhibition. One by
one the other six stood beside the
dog. In turn, they twisted their
faces inc grOtesque resemblance
TO the picture.
By this time every member Of
the party was helpless with laugh
ter. Miss y. developed an unsus-
pected talent. She could growl like
the dog, while the others posed.
She did il. The jury helped itself
10 a pin worn by Mr.. b. and SOL
EMMY awarded it to Mrs. A. as
the prize winner.
The whole affair had taken about
