Less Style, More Economy.


Slowly the construction OF government regu-
alton closes around the dressmaker, and her
art is shortly to be limited In its expression a.
TO material At least Very little woolen stuff
will be available for the use Of the public until
after the army's requirements have been salts
fed, and that practically means until the close
Of the war. Cotton mills have been requested
to proceed with such Standardization Of out
put as will effectually limit the number Of
styles Of fabric produced Prices fixed by the
government for the standard goods are such
as will encourage mills to conine their product
to the fewest possible grades and qualities. II
has been stated that the mill owners feel they
will fare much better with only twenty vari-
cites or styles Of output than they did with
200 as some of them carried in peace times.
One inevitable effect Of this change in quality
Of fabrics will be reflected in style of dress for
women. II will bring regret only to the few,
for, while our women folks have abated moth
ing Of their fondness for fnery, they are will
ing to be saving that they may help the gov
ernment in its war problems. We may, there
fore, look for less style and more economy in
woman's wear.

CAUSE FOR SUPREME CONFIDENCE.

The confidence in the military situation in
France exhibited by General March will be
shared by all. Relying on the expert judgment
Of this capable soldier, Americans may feel sure
that things are going very we'll on the battle
front. Analysis of the operations on the several
sectors where our boys are fighting indicates that
they have made definite impression on the Ger
man army. The counter stroke against the crown
prince of Prussia was we'll timed, and brought
results fully equal to if not in excess Of expecta
tons. The progress of the Franeo-American
forces has been such as to force a reformation Of
the German lines along that portion most
menacing to Paris, thus postponing once more
the dinner party that has been held up since
August four years ago. If the drive now under
headway effects break in the foes front, the
latter scarcely can be reformed nearer than the
trenches occupied in March before the battle Of
Picardy began. While this is going on, the
British are occupying the crown prince of Bavaria
fully, so that he is unable to send material rein
forcements to aid his Prussian brother. Not in
many months has the outlook in France been so
favorable to the Allies as it is at this time.

Goddess Socialism

Socialism teaches that there Is no God.
The Psalmist says the fool talks that way;
but the socialist says that the man who talks
Of God is fool.
Humanity has always found it easy to say
at high noon, There is no God;" but it has
not found it so easy to say at midnight. The
American socialist who denies God so boldly
was rocked to sleep in babyhood to the tune
of godly hymn; possibly in his boyhood
threw stones through the window of church
where the Ten Commandments and the
Beatitudes were taught, and where Christian
doctrines made It safe for his father to leave
the barn door unlocked at night
"He jests at scars who never felt a
wound" and he jokes at hunger who never
starved. The negro philosopher proved
the moon of greater use than the sun, be-
cause "de moon shine in de night when we
need de light, but de sun shine in the day
when light is OBJ no consequence" One can
laugh at the idea of God, when God is smil-
ing all around him.
But goddess men do not choose to live in
goddess neighborhoods No thoughtful So
cialist would prefer to live in town that
has no church, no worship. If atheists had
no churches built by God d-fearing people they
would build them themselves for the comfort
of having them near by.
u ne man VINO denies Zoo IN Snfistiail

Rurnely and Hohenzollern.

3
The interesting story Of Edward Rumely now
being told for readers of The Bee by Mr.. Stock
bridge, challenges attention especially for the
amazing points Of resemblance between the
American born German and the kaiser. The
mental attitude Of this precious pair, SO nearly
duplicates in aspirations and ideals, surpasses un-
derstanding because Of its sublmely sef-centered
aspect The normal man fails to comprehend the
absolute egotism of the superman, but rec
ognizes it as condition that must be met. DR..
Rumely and the German emperor are typical
cases Of the malady listed under many names, but
commonly demonstrated "swelled head" Neither
has shown 1t any point in his career the broad,
healthy mentality essential to vision sufficient to
grasp the outlines Of humarity's problem, but
this deficiency has not deferred either from un-
dertakng to prescribe a panacea. DR.. Rumely,
perhaps, is entitled to some consideration above
the kaiser, for he apparently tried to difuse the
quality Of superexcellence among a selected
group Of American youth 1t is not on record
that the Hohenzollern specimen Of the type ever
did. even in his moment Of greatest expansion,
hope to see another just like himself. AS by
product OF our civilization, illustrating the danger
OF development that mounts but does not broad
en-, the doctor and the kaiser are Of much inter-
est to the sociologist. Kultur, however, does not
thrive in the warm atmosphere Of democracy,
