HINTS FOR THE
HOME FOLKS BEFORE
THE BOYS COME HOME

The home folks are warned they
may be shocked by soldier manners
when the boys come back. In camp
a soldier always eats his cereal last
al breakfast. 1t is habit with him
TO feed himself with one hand while
holding up an empty dish with the
other and yelling, N. F., more dog"
or cakes or spuds. as the case may
be Then he will finish with his Ger
cal and tip up or drink a swallow or
so to empty the bowl, climb over
the back of his chair and retire
munching bit OF fruit as he goes
through the door AT night, if it is
chilly, he'll be likely to crawl into
bed without removing his shoes or
his clothes. In the morning he'll
suddenly jerk all the bed clothes to
the floor, stand up in bed, put on
his hat and in case he has taken his
shoes of the night before, reach up
10 the picture nail in the wall on
which he has hung them. then dash
nadly ont OF the door as he has been
in the habit of doing at reveille.

SENSATION OF WAR"

London, Dec. l4.-The weekly re-
views extend the warmest welcome
10 President Wilson and the most
cordial wishes for the success OF his
mission. They discuss his policy and
intentions with considerable anxiety.
especially as regards the freedom OF
the seas and a league OF nations.
The Spectator, which may be re-
gardcd aS reilecting the government
views. declared that the pivot on
which the worlds future turns. is
the deep and lasting friendship be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States and that whilst that is kept
firmly in view, there is no possibility
OF MISUNDERSTANDING. 1t contends
that freedom OF the seas must be in
terpreted in the British sense and
that TO discuss it at all before a
league OF nations actually in exist
ence would be a cardinal mistake.
The Spectator advocates as a set
Off that the Monroe doctrine ought
to be accepted as the public law of
the world and duly formulated and
confirmed with the sanction of all
the parties to the peace settlement.
The Nation, representing anti-gov-
crnmental thought. describes Pres
ident Wilson as the intellectual
sensation OF the war, as Lloyd
George is its popular diversion"
The newspaper continues:
IF Europe revertS to armaments,
anneNatiOns, conscription and secret
treaties, America in the person of
her great president will wash her
hands OF European concerns and
shake the dust of Europe from her
feet forever. One thing is certain;
If President Wilson'S counsel is re-
iccted, nothing can avert a univer-
sal revolution.'
