Red Cross Note s

The commission of relief in Bel gium is making an appeal through the Red Cross, on behalf of the suf- fering people of Belgium and North ern France. These allies of ours be- hind the German lines, rich as we'll as poor, are short of necessities, while the poor are in dire need. One third of every shipment of clothing asked for will go to Northern France and two-thirds to Belgium. Last wear in Belgium one paid $7.00 to have pair of shoes resoled. Scrap leather is very much needed. Light, warm canton flannel is needed also, for garments for infants, as relief committees have been forced to turn away prospective mothers because of scarcity of material, and newborn babies were swaddled in rags.

WHERE THE GAS GOES.

The secret of the gas shortage which
has prevailed for several years is out.
Natural gas valued conservatively at
50, 900, 900 was wasted in year in a
group of Kansas and Missouri cities
and towns, according to figures gath
cred by the United States fuel admin
istration. These figures show wastes
varying from 81 to 10 per cent of the
gas delivered to the gates of the cities
and towns. In the entire district af-
fected, in the twelve months from
grand total Of 1887, lab, 900 cubic feet
Of gas was delivered and sales of
5,679.256,OOO were reported, showing
loss of 3.977,sSIOOO cubic feet, or
40.5S per cent. The cause of this
great wastage is laid to poor construc-
ton of lines so that the gas leaked out
of the pipes.
The figures of the fuel administra-
ton were obtained from the statistics
of the wholesale companies as to the
number of cubic feet of gas delivered
to gates of the cities and from the
figures shown by the meters of the do
nestle consumers, the difference be-
ing the waste. For years. gas in these
cities has been purchased on a per-
centage basis-two-thirds of the re-
tail price-by the distributing COM
panies from the wholesale companies.
In the present cases. each lays the
blame for the wastage on the other.
Officials of the fuel administration
say that with the conservation which
should have been practiced these cities
could have had natural gas at SO cents
thousand feet fer twenty years, but
that they apparently considered gas at
that price SO cheap that it was not
worth saving.
The fuel administration says it in
tends to enforce conservation, as the
needless use of manufactured gas or
electricity involves the consumption of
coal. which must be intelligently used
and intelligently saved.

THE WHINING HUNS.

1t now appears that the Huns
signed the armistice under protest.
but they signed. Their protest has
been registered officially at Paris.
Further protests may be expected
| when the time comes for arranging
the final peace terms. 1t is the Hun
way.
On one thing they may as we'll make
up their minds promptly and that
is that the terms of peace will not
be based upon the theory that Ger
many has been fighting a defensive
war. That fiction is an insult to the
peoples with whom they have to deal,
and any suggestion of it is enough to
end negotiations. At the beginning of
the war, there was some standing for
the view that the outbreak was the
result of the strained situation which
had existed in Europe for long time
and that responsibility was therefore
divided and could not be exactly allo-
Gated. There was much of that senti-
ment in this country, which was reluc-
tant to believe that Germany had de-
liberately seized upon the Austrian as
sassination as an opportunity to pre-
cipitate war. But the revelations of
the Potsdam conference. the state
ments of the German ambassador at
London and Doctor Muhlon, and other
like evidence have swept away this
charitable presumption of innocence.
Germany and Austria stand at the bar
as defeated conspirators against the
peace of the world.
Mr.. Balfour has summarized the
necessary terms of peace in the words.
Restitution. PREPARATION and Guaran-
tees for the Future" Restitution
means giving back what has been
taken, reparation means making good
the losses wantonly and unlawfu1ly in
flicted upon individuals and public
property; it might justly include more.
but complete reparation is impossible.
Guarantees as to the future mean
changes in the political constitutions of
the two empires and a breaking I'D of
the solid block of central Europe now
| included in their dominions, SO that
nationalities over which they have
never had a just right to rule will be
released from their authority.
1t is urged that the German people
should be accorded the right of having
a government of their own choice.
without dictation from outside. Upon
general principles this cannot be dis
puted and the only justification for
interference is that government may
be assured which is unlikely to make
another such assault upon neighbor-
ing countries. Democratic institutions
in their very nature are unfavorable
to secret plotting and surprise at
lacks. If the government of Ger
many be made fairly responsive to
public opinion the people will not be
likely to surrender their power, and
there will be no such offensive exer-
else Of power as has characterized that
government in the past

Expenses for October amounted to
$1,664, 900, including s4S9,100,O0

a little more than the expenditures
last July, and about 100000 less
than the estimates for October. Ow-
ing to unusual receipts of s3.5S3,4OO,-
600 in October from popular borrow

Only little more than one-fourth of
the expense has been raised from tax

fourths from liberty loans and war
savings.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A gentle-
man has been keeping company with
me for eight years and i think a
great deal of him. 1 have always con-
sidered him a man of few words
when other girls were concerned, for
he has gone with no other girl in the
eight yearS. I have given up SO much
for him, but was glad to.
Two weeks ago 1 found he had been
calling a stenographer. who is en-
ployed in the same office with him,
sweetheart" honey" etc, and she
is married and he knew it. Because
of his actions to her she thought he
cared for her. He went as far as to
make an engagement with her and
when she accepted he laughed and told
her he was only Joking.
He knows I am Jealous and sensi
tive when he 20 concerned and i have
tested him in little ways and found
he is too. I told him / did not con-
slider his behavior becoming or digni-
fled and he was not doing right by
me. He said ] misconstrued his acs
tons and that he only did those things
because the other men did. said
that was no excuse and he became
angry.
After finding that out fear I will
never have confidence in him again.

"Women spend much time and

at isn't because men are tightwads
that they can't forgive their wives eX-
travagance. The majority Of men are
anxious to lavish everything they can
possibly afford upon their families,
but when a man sees his wife throwing
away in idiotic expenditure the money
he has toiled and sweated for. he also
sees her throwing away his oppor-
tunities and wasting his life.
money to a man means work ana
anxiety and exhaustion of mind and
body. 1t means forcing him to go on
when sick and tired. 1t means the
sacrifice of a thousand inchnatons
and desires, and when he sees it slip
thru the fingers of a woman, as If it
were 80 much water, he is appalled, at
her utter lack of appreciation of all 1t
has cost him.
And when at the end Of year,
or many years, he has nothing to show
for all his work and striving but a
just vampire to him. one who takes
advantage of the position the law gives
her to suck his life blood, and he hates
her the more because he is SO power
less to struggle against her.
"And the thing that husbands and
wives find it hardest to forgive in each
other is nagging. AS long as a woman
is good natured, good tempered and
drives with a loose rein, her husband
will put up with lot of bad cooking
and bad management and still be hap

refrains from continually reminding

has ever made, and gives her a rea-
