have happened to jog the one-time
sleepy old town and overturn long-es-

the white house; searchlights brighten
the sky at night; theater seats are at
premium; the telephone and street

and are just beginning to recover; uni

has stopped initiating Charlie Chaplin

Ellhu Root, former senator from
New York, left good impression in
the senate and he often receives high
praise from men who were opposed to
him politically. Senator Williams Of
Mississippi was quoting Root, and re-
ferred TO him as "the best intellect
that has stood upon the Republican
side Of this chamber since my service
In this body" But that did not en-
tlrely satisfy him, and he remarked
that he would "go a little bit further
and say the best intellect that has
stood upon either side of the body dur
ing my service in It" There are a
great many men who entirely agree
with Williams.

A young woman who has spent most
OF her life at Postdam, where the kais-
er's favorlte palace is located, was In
Washington while the German drive
on the west front was at its crest.
She CHANGED to see a newspaper re-
port saying that the total casualties
on both sides would probably amount
to 100000.
"Oh!" she said, venomously. "Oh
Eat kaiser / always say to my hus-
ban, Why do zey not kill Eat kaiser,

There are whole lot of people who
think that the rather primitive sug-
gestion put into words by this lady Is
most worthy. Probably 100 per cent
of our student airmen have picked out
the exact spot on Wilhelm's helmet,
where few pounds of dynamite would
do the most good. But 1t is a sure
thing that "the beast of Berlin" what
ever chances he may take with other
peoples lives, takes none with his own,
and the chances are 100 to 1 that he
will come out Of the war hale and
hearty.

he was asked by the house to describe
from a military point of view the bat
tie situation at a time when the coun-
try was most apprehensive that Ger
many was about to break through. Con-
gresham Tilson has exhibited won
derful knowledge of firearms Of all
kinds and character, and has several
times given the house great deal OF
useful information. When he was
called upon to make his last statement
he exhibited a map showing the bat
tie lines, and indicated what might
happen to the advantage of the allies.
Els statement was somewhat reassur-
Ing to members of the house, who were
really quite gloomy over the outlook.

Postmaster General Burleson Is quite
frequently at the capitol. In fact, from
the beginning of the administration he
has been a sort of legislative agent for
the administration and often tells SEN
ators and representatives what the
president would like to have done In
regard to some measure that may be
pending. Burleson was for long
time q member of the house Of rep
resentatives, but he is not the only
member of the presidents cabinet who
has had experience. Secretary Red
field Of the department of commerce
was also member of the house, But
Redfield is not considered as much OF

utation.
