T>HIS question engages the attention of
IL men who habitually look long way
ahead One of our clients, Mr.. b., an
swers the question in his own way. With
his permission we quote him:
"Suppose man leaves his wife $4,000 -includ-
ing life insurance. In lump sum, it looks
like awful lot of money. 1t seems SO big, she
thinks it must last for So she spends $500
here and 5000 or $500 there-and Be-
fore she knows it, there isn't enough left to give
her ST 900 year income
"It's amazing to me, be shortsghted
about the money they leave.
"Here is case I know about

was introduced as the sunniest boy in
the hospital.
The President saw one lad who came
to the hospital eighteen months ago
with half his face shot away. His story
was almost too terrible to repeat, but
the President wanted to hear. So the
doctors told it to him.
The boy entered the hospital with so
little of his face remaining that his
eyes were all that are uow shown in
the plaster cast which begins his rec
ord. For a year he took all his food
through a tube. Now by additions of

american trade, however, remains
open to the enemy, but as the American

Therefore, the freedom of the seas in

While all that is best in France says

While there is good deal Of uncon-

In regard to the economic situation
the Germans have done their best to

therefore handicapped in the indus

Barbarous Warfare, He De-

ment to Wilbur Wright

LEMANS, France, Dec. 22.-Speakng
here to-day at the Wright-Lafayette
ceremonies, when the foundation. stone
of the Wilbur Wright monument was
laid, William G.. Sharp, the American
Ambassador to France, deplored the
"wicked uses to which aviation has
been perverted by the enemy, whose
sic purpose seems to be to destroy and
kill" The ambassador continued:
"The very horrors of it's abuses will
to abandon forever the employment
of aircraft for the casting of bombs.
AS it is a barbarous method of mur-
dcring innocents and is lacking in
military value, it should be outlawed
by the coming league Of nations. The
submarine-that other evil genius of
modern warfare and even more mon
strous-s should similarly be banished."
Pays Tribute to Wright
Mr.. Sharp referred to his personal
Wright and the pride he felt that the
aviator was native of his own state
Of Ohio, and added
"Our own General Glenn, also an
Ohioan, is here to-day heading many
thousands Of American soldiers. He is
as popular and beloved in foreign
land as at home. He we'll represents
the state, of whom all her sons are
most proud"
Henry Simon, French Minister of
the Colonies, representing the govern
ment, in an address traced the effort
made by the United States in the war.
He then said:
without such aid supplied to our
Allies and a the same time as to our
selves, I do not know whether the
war in the spring of 1917 could have
been continued.
Credits American Aid
"Without the formidable push of
last March and the monthly contribu-
tion of American troops, l do not know
whether Marshal Foch's decisive luai.-
9uvre in the summer of 1918 could
have been possible"
General John Pau spoke In the name
of the president of the Aero Club of
America.
The monument is being erected by
the Aero Club of France and will

NortJiclife Invites
q. S. Correspondents
To accompany Wilson

PARTS, Dec. 21.-Lord Northclifpe.
chairman Of the London headquarters
Of the British mission to the Unitsd
States and England's greatest publish
er, tonight invited ths American news
paper correspondents in Paris to be tho
guests OF ths British government dur
ing President Wilson's visit to Eng
land.
Lord Northc1iffe said the gathering
of American newspaper men in Paris
was tho greatest ever seen in any Eu-
ropean country, and he was sure their
visit would have great influence ON the
relations between the American and
European continents.
He pointed out that England had suf~
fered more than tho United States dur
ing the war because she had been called
on to supply France with many things.
Therefore, the correspondents would
find q shortage in numerous things
when they went to England.
The British people. Lord Northclitfe
continued, had been obliged to submit
to rationing without exceptions. The
newspapers had been more fortunate
than some Of those in other countries,
because they had been more careful in
conserving raw materials. Neverthe~
less they had been obliged to reducs
in size to ops-half that OF 1914.
The speaker said war friendship
had grown up between the British and
American soldiers who had fought to-
gether at the front, and this fact GER
tainly would afford basis for the de-
velopment Of closer relations between
the two foremost nations Of the world,
The speaker referred to the proposed
league of nations, which, he said, some
people had regarded as something
pretty to read about but practically i'm
possible of attainment.
He gave it as his belief that this
was the most important Of President
Wilson's fourteen points, and said he
was hopeful that means would be found
to make it practical
President Wilson, Lord Northcliffe
said, was q man of infinite courage and
had not hesitated to break all Ameri-
can traditions in entering into the war.
He said he was glad the President was
going outside London and into Eng
land, to Manchester, for instance,
where the people had suffered most
from the American Civil War, because
they We're dependent upon the supply
of American cotton, but yet had re-
NAMED constant in their friendship to
the North. There the President would
see the real England, for London was
no more England than New York was
America. Tho speaker concluded by
saying that he was certain the Presi-
dents visit would do immense good

Real Holiday Once More
In the meantime the country is pre-
pairing to celebrate Christmas in the
way, the way in which
it has not been celebrated for five
years. Nearly all the soldiers sta
toned in the country are Hooking to
their homes on n twelve days leave.
Thousands of Britain's soldier sons are
coming from across the Channel, where
for moro than four years they have
faced death in defence of the Ideals
of democracy and humanity, while
are also arriving to help their allies
in the celebration.
London Is Troops Mecca
London is to-day the Mecca of thou
sands Of soldiers from every corner
of the land and all great battletields,
but for the first time in more than
four years they have decorated then
muddy clothes and equipment with
holly.
Never before has London known
such huge crowds of Christmas shop
pers. The prices are higher than ever
but the public spares no money in ex-
pressing its JOY and relief at the com
ing of peace. Theatres and restau-
rants are doing record breaking busi-
ness. Hotels are overcrowded and sea-
side resorts have never seen such
throngs as at this time.
Britain is showing her pride and
thankfulness in the victory of the
Allies with full heart and open
pocket.

with addresses, but the Presidents
time in London will be so encroached d
upon for official conferences that it is
not expected he will be able to receive
them. American organizations in Lon
don are anxious to entertain the Pres

also are likely to be disappointed. 1t
Is expected that the President will find
time for a short inspection of some of
the American soldiers still in London.

Training Battalion Moved From Ar.
mory to Make Place For Saloon.
Cincinnati, Owen this wet city
is stirred over the opening of a sa-
loon in the basement of the amory, a
building erected by the taxpayers of
the country, and all the more deeply
stirred because, to make room for the
saloon, battalion Of training troops
of the Home Guard of Cincinnati were
compelled to leave their training
quarters and seek shelter elsewhere.
The National Bowling Congress met
in the armory, and the local licensing
board and the county commissioners
ousted the boys in training for the
defense of their country to make way
for temporary booze joint. The drys
entered protest, but it availed moth
ing, and while the Bowling Congress
was in session, the public building
sheltered the bar.
AS one disgusted citizen put it, "If
the training of American boys for
war interferes with the sale of beer,
stop the training"
Even Cincinnati resents the act, and
men formerly known as vets declare
this action exceeded the limit of pro-
priety and severely condemn it.

Summoning all Republicans to
vote at the recent special elec-
tions in New York, the Sun of
that city took occasion to remind
the voters of some seasonable
and reasonable truths. It point
ed out that vote for Republican
candidates now is not vote "for
Prussianism and for the Kaiser"
as Senator Lewis of Illinois once
declared, but that it is a vote cf
resistance to the doctrine that
the legislative branch of the gov,
ernment must be subordinated to
the executive branch, and a vote
for the constitution as against
those who would break that an
clent instrument down. These
truths will be reiterated in the
regular campaign of the coming
fall. There will be no question
OF loyalty which can be raised by
any but an added mind. Re-
publlcaDs stand for the nation
and for vigorous prosecution of
the War-and their record in Con.
gress proves it. They also stand
for an efficient and an economical
conduct of the war, and they op-
pose the heaping of more power
into feeble hands to the detri-
ment OF the public service and to
the destruction of old and cher
lshed American traditions. This
is not partisanship, it is patriot
ism.

With reports coming from the
food producing sections of the
country that farmers are dimin.
ishing their production because
OF uncertainty as to the labor
supply. the future is being jeop-
ardized by failure on the part CT
the War department to give spe-
cific and definite official assur-
ance that farm labor will not be
drafted before the 1918 crops can
be harvested. While it has been
lntimated that in the administra-
tlon OF the draft law farm labor
ers will be placed in deferreL
class and not called flom their
usual labors, yet this is such an
indefinite statement as TO afford
the farmers no satisfactory as
surance upon which to Justify
their planting the usual or an IN
creased acreage. 1t is not en-
ough to make halfway promises,
nor to suggest that if farm labor
shall be drafted other labor may
