good l received $40 week. When
asked Mr.. Brenon if that wasn't rather
a small amount to live on and furnish
$3.50 dress suits, he replied, I can get
. a real actor for $40' This encouraged
me. I might, in time, become a real
actor and get $40 So stayed. Since
then my ambitions have been realized;

THE NEW MESSAGE
Star.

Many pacifists and many who feel
friendly toward Germany have said
time and again that this country
should state it's terms-what it as we'll
as the other nations are fighting for
Surely all of our readers have read
the presidents last words on the sub
ject in the current newspapers. He
has stated in no uncertain language
what is expected before the war can
end. Germany encroached upon the
rights of this country, killed citizens
Of the United States and violated her
promises. In the past the president
made it plain why we went to war;
now he has stated what Germany must
do to bring about peace. His words
are couched in the pIainest words of
the English language, the whole field
is covered, little nations have been
considered in the argument, and it is
now the turn of Germany to make the
next move on the great stage of inter
national relations The world has be-
come so small and the interests of ma
tions haxe become so interviewer that
all must work together in order to
preserve harmony. President Wilson
has stated how this may be brought
about, and if Germany desires peace,
if she has had enough of war, if she
desires to do what is right, let her now
acquiesce to the proposal of a govern
ment which has no thought Of indem-
mites or annexations. Germany can
not give back the lives she has taken,
but she can in a measure make good
the robbing and destruction that she
caused, end in so doing will pay the
penalty which is expected from an out
law. No doubt the words of Woodrow
Wilson will fall on fertile ground in
Germany and bear wholesome fruit.
The message is a milestone toward
peace 1t may be bitter pill for Ger
many's war lords, but it is one that
must be swallowed. What will her
answer be?

If the enemy does not admit that he

If La Toilette can get any money

ROUMANIA'S SAD PREDICA-
MENT

Roumanias adhesion to the Russian
program for a peace with the Germans
is forced by grim necessity rather
than suggested by choice, says The
Providence Journal. Of the devotion
of the ROumanians to the allied cause
there can be no doubt. They have
held a section of their land, up in
mountains, with rugged valor and
proved that they were willing to stick
it out there till the end. Brave Rou-
mania has been temporarily van
quished, not by German arms, but by
Russian betrayal. She could not cope
with a foe at the rear she had count
ed on as a friend, and without the
help Of the Russians there was moth
ing to do but join them in their hate
full armistice with Berlin. That the
Roumanian troops submit perforce
with no good heart to the surrender
inflicted upon them is attested by the
dispatch which tells us that when the
enemy approached their network with
friendly offerings they maintained a
reserved and dignifed attitude and re-
jected all attempts at determination"

THE PATHFINDER

All of us know him. He is really a
very good person. He has many low
able traits. Yet he is not loved. He
has one characteristic that makes him
disagreeable No matter what pr0pos-
al is made for pleasure, entertainment
or business, he must first offer an OBJ
lection. Actually he may approve the
undertaking He may have advocated
it at some former time or to some
other person. But since he does not
advance the idea now, he must first
raise an objection, even if he later con-
cedes the right of the proposal.
Even little plans for family enjoy
ment must have wet blanket thrown
over them by him. All the joy of. sud
den enthusiasm must be taken out by
a ready objection He never gives
hearty approval to anything. No book
quite pleases him. Every sermon or
lecture could have been improved.
Greatness or heroism he never grants
30 another person or character with
out first recounting certain accom-
panying faults.
What is the worth of rehearsing
faults when nothing can be gained by
such rehearsals? Why not give praise
where praise is due and keep silence
