"The supreme war council gave the
most careful consideration to the re-
cent utterances of the German chan
cellor and the Austro-Hungarian min
lister Of foreign affairs. but was unable
to find in them any real approximation
to the moderate conditions laid down
by all the allied governments. This
conviction was only deepened by the
impression made by the contrast be-
tween the professed idealistic aims
with which the central powers entered
upon the present negotiations at Brest.
Litoysk and their now openly disclosed
plans of conquest and spoliation.
The allies are united In heart and

their open resolve to defend civilization
against an INSCRIPTIONS and brutal at

confirmed by unanimity no less COM

policy to be pursued and as regards

aging editors. James Keely Of Chi

hour later Emerson was on his way.
He did not return for a year, and up
to the time that he began cabling his
stories from that point not a man in
the of1ice except Keely knew where he
was. Keely also sent him to Mo-
rocco, and his stories of that coun-
try attracted worldwide attention.
Hence. his regular-business being
to throw the spotlight on other per-

The method of making Autographed

by lithographing process and made

added that the government is pretty
thoroughly effected by button max
ing because it seems utterly impos-
activity without giving q wide dis
tribution Of buttons. The assertion
that It soon may be necessary for
all women to wear shawls In order
to accommodate the buttons which
the government gives them for their

Of truth. AS for the men folks. their

that they have to wear.

would meaI. n very neat saving to buy
steel instead OF celluloid buttons.
Also, the thought struck Frank r.
Wilson. director of publicity for the
war loan trganization. that enough
war materials to buy a submarine
probably could be saved by changing
from a celluloid to some other kind Of
button. SO Ee suggested the change to
Emerson.

Whereupon Emerson started rum
maging through his desk-a desk
which, owing to his varied activities,
somewhat resembles the busiest cor
ner of a squirreTs nest-in search of
the steei-backed mirror. Presently he
found it. and. running true to form. he
never even glanced at the face of the
mirro-. Turning the mirror over. he
remarked that there was something
he had on hand for some time that he
thought might interest the govern
ment and perhaps save 1t q litrls

Immediately word was sent out by
Mr.. Wilson that a substitute for cellu-
loid buttons. preferably autographed
steel, was desired by the publicity bu-
reau. because of the fact that 1t was
thought a substitution would effect q
saving in munitions materials The
response WAS simply overwhelming.
From every part Of the country. from
persons of s1l ages. colors and classes.

the celluloid button. Most Of them
contemplated paper and steel and tin
