Sure Bait For Husbands

It is well that the war satirist who
has set England and America by the
ears remains anonymous, else the
militant feminists might forget their
promise to lie down with the lamb
"for the duration" In his second
Book" (Doran). Artemas dispatches
a few sharply pointed arrows in the
direction Of designing maidens.
Here is bit of his advice on getting
a husband.
Bring up thy mother in the way
she should go and restrain her con-
tinually. Else shall she hold thee
UP before the young mans eyes with
out ceasing, wherefore thou shalt
surely lose him.
Consider the worm. 1t sitteth on
its hook in a Quiet place, nor follow
eth after the fish. Nay, rather doth
It entice him because it sitteth aloof,
Do thou, therefore, in like manner.
When young man speaketh unto
thee concerning a miracle that hath
saved him his life, then open thine
eyes into his, and call him wonder
full.
For in this manner shalt thou re-
move the credit of it from the mir
acle and he will believe thy words.
And he will perceive in thee a multi
tude of charms that erstwhile had
been hid"

War Finance and the Public
[Col. Harvey's War Weekly

[Col. Harvey's War Weekly
Nothing could be more gratifying
than the cheerfulness with which
the American people are meeting the
demands of war taxation. Whatever
the Government needs it can get,
either by taxes or by laws; and
whatever proportion Congress and
the President decide shall be fur
nished by taxes. that proportion will
not only be furnished. but furnished
with scarcely a trace of protest.
Palpable inequities of detail will be
objected to, perhaps made much of;
but there is surely no harm in that
OF the magnitude of the burden, as
such-and it is of course beyond all
precedent, and steadily going high
er-there is substantially no COM
plant whatever, and will be none.
In this, as in the deeper sacrifices
of the battlefield, America has stood
the test without quiver. Her heart
is in the right place. The time
will come when the economic well
fare of the country, very possibly
its rescue from financial dangers no
less grave than those with which it
had to grapple for years after the
close of the Civil War, will depend,
as it did then, upon the existence of
a body of sound public sentiment on
the basic questions of national
finance

RESULT INEVITABLE

~ USINESS men in Philadelphia
X are making loud protests
against the slow mail service
there since the mail tubes have been
discontinued. That was to be ex-
pected. The mail tubes were a
great invention for the saving of
time, and the discontinuance of that
service is bound to cause delay. For
the information of persons not fa-
Iniliar with tube transportation of
explained that the tubes serve ex-
actly the same purpose and operate
in the same way as the cash-carriers
in stores. In former times, it was
the practice TO have cash boys run
ming through the aisles of stores
getting money changed. That caused
confusion and delay, especially when
stores were crowded. Now the clerk
takes your money, puts it in a little
container, drops it in the carrier and
it whizzes along to the cashier who
makes the change and shoots it back.
In former years. and at present. ell
mails were carried over the streets
in wagons or automobiles. Owing
to congestion of city traffic, this
caused delay, and tubes were con-
structed under ground from one
part of the city to another. Letter
mail was put into cartridges, these
containers slipped into the tubes, and
they went whizzing along on their
journey. regardless of crowds, block
ades, snow drifts or what not on the
streets above. 1t was a little more
expensive service, but it was quicker.
II was an improvement over old
methods of handling mail, just as
the subway street railway systems
are an improvement over surface
cars. The tube mail carriers were
established by Republicans, who are
always constructive in their manage
ment of either public or private af-
fairs. The present administration
discontinued the tube service and
went back to surface transporta-
ton, hence the protest in Philadel-
phia, where it is declared that even

THE TIGER AND THE FOX

" HERE are many reasons why
General Foch should be made
generalissimo of the allied
forces. In the first place, France is
the battle ground and the French
nation has most at stake in the war.
Again, Foch knew better than any
one else the character of the terri
tory over which the battles must be
fought, the obstacles to be met, the
opportunities for advantage and the
characteristics OF his antagonists.
His military training and skill were
at least equal to those of any other
general in the allied forces. Re-
suits have fully justified the selec-
ton based upon the considerations
mentioned, and Premier Clemenceau
has the satisfaction of seeing his
choice vindicated. The credit ac-
corded to Foch must be also ex-
tended to Clemenceau who, 1t is un-
derstood, insist ID upon the general
being placed in supreme command.

That's advice straight from the

ite song of the soldiers in tight
quarters. It is the kind of thing
:he soldier does and it is what he
wants us back home to do. Nothing
would worry the soldier in France
more than to think that we in this
country were unduly worried or
we're growing mournful and morose.

trenches or the battleline-no mat
ter how many of their comrades may

and thus they gather new courage
and new strength for future trials.

(Which Eye, Sir?"
Pittsburgh Post1

There is story from the west
ern front of an officer instructing an
American artilleryman to hit the
enemy in the eye at a long range
point. The gunner appeared hurt,
and on being asked to explain, de-
manded, Which eye, sir?"
While no names were given in the
above story, and it may have been
heard in many forms before, the
good aim of the American gunners
is proverbial and has won special
praise from the time our boys ap-
peared in France. The latest re-
port of this nature deals with one
of our corporals who has been as
signed to duty as a sharpshooter. He
has picked off six Germans in the
past three days, and three of them
at a distance of 500 yards.

Must Get Into Training
By BRIGGS
IFrom the Pittsburgh Post. ]

No matter which class of the new
draft is called into service first, 1t Is
common sense that, If we are to win
the war next year, the sooner the
available men are put into training
the better. Every day of training
lost counts against the early ending
of the struggle. Whatever Congress
does in extending the age limits 1t
should do 1t promptly and without
imposing restrictions that would
hamper the War Department in
training the men.
Americans are determined to win
and nothing will enthuse them as
the policy of quick finish" While
Congress it not expected to pass the
momentous measure without dis
cussion, it can put 1t through in a
business-like way that will thrill the
country. 1t has indicated that 1t
will extend the draft limits and 1t
should make the most of 1t in giving
impetus to ION to Berlin!"
