Sausage a Medium
of Allies Propaganda

Washington, Feb. 16.-The sau-
sage may be playing an important
part toward disintegrating the Kai-
ser'S army.
Frances message to German
troops that they will do well to
surrender and give the password
"Kamarad Republique' is being car
ried to the German front lines in
sausage meat and in other ways.
Small walls containing the message
on oiled paper are dropped in Ger
many from allied airplanes and
relatives who hope for peace and the
lives of their men to be spared slip
the messages into things they send
to the troops. Many of those re-
ceiving the message surrender and
surprisingly few spies have been
found among their number.
Information to this effect was
given to-day to the house committee
on postal expenditures, which was
hearing a representative of the COM
mittee on public information on the
propaganda campaign being car
ried on in Germany by the allies.
Propaganda pamphlets showing
that the war aims of the allies are
for the overthrow of the Prussian
autocracy are being dropped from
airplanes 200 and 800 miles behind
the German front lines, the COM
mittee was told.
Germans in Switzerland, working
for a German republic, are also US
ing their own methods to have troops
surrender, giving the password 'Ka-
marad Republique."

\ Feminine Appeal
AS soon as she was gone, Cynthia
turned to her uncle with an appeal
ing gesture.
Please. Uncle Stephen" she said,
hastily, tell me what all this is
about"
The elderly man drew chair up
close to hers. Il am sorry. my
child, to have to tell you anything
painful" he began. But few days
ago l received a letter from Mr..
Blake, your fathers executor and
| lawyer"
He paused and Cynthia nodded.
She could not speak.
He told me in good many
words what you may learn in a
! few. The money that your father
thought he had secured for you Is
about gone-I mean most of it is.
He invested in several schemes in
which he felt confident. He was al
ways a bit inclined to be visionary
and his last illness seems to have
increased this tendency.
so when, few weeks before his
death, some people advised him to
| go into couple of big mining
schemes he so far forgot about his
| former business acumen as to COM
ply with their wishes. He invested
heavily. He lost every cent he put
in"
The girl was watching him, her
eyes distressed. But she made no
comment. Something in her ex-
preston. hurt the man watching her,
and he tried to soften his blunt
statements. ..ga ..-.
Il do not mean to imply that your
fathers business sense was usually
at fault. 1t was not. But the ILL
ness that took him off has a subtle
effect upon the mind, and sufferers
from it sometimes do strange
things. Your fathers desire was to
make a big sum of money for you
and he became an easy dupe of un-
principled promoters. Except for a
few thousands he had invested safe
ly elsewhere, he has left you with
out any money"
Then" she faltered, 'I am de-
pendent? l am so poor that 1 must
earn my own living? Well" with

a sudden lifting of her head, II can
do that"
How to Do 1t
How" the question was brusque
and went straight home.
How, indeed? She thought fast.
She had been brought up in ease.
She could play the piano only lit
tie: she could sew scarcely at all;
she had always hated mathematics;
she knew nothing of bookkeeping
stenography or any of the many
ways in which some girls earned
their livings. Moreover, she had
never been taught to apply herself.
The salary that she might earn as
a beginner in any one of these
branches of occupation would be
pitifully inadequate to her wants, for
she had never learned to economic.
1t had not been necessary.
In short, she had been the petted
darling of an indulgent father. He
had always told her that he was
providing handsomely for her.
You have enough money to live
on simply for a while, my dear"
her uncle went on to explain. And
why should you worry? L am here
to help you out-and you are my
dear sisters only child. Moreover,
as attractive a girl as you will un-
doubtedly marry. You will meet
the right man soon, and your aunt
and l will see that you do not meet
the wrong one. Meanwhile, try to
be a normal, happy girl-less given
to introspection, and take the goods
the gods provide.
"I have written to Blake" he ad-
ded, when she did not speak. "He
has your very few thousands in safe
keeping. He will send you money as
you need it.
Now, dear child, before that
small sum of money is gone, you
will have met the Prince Charming,
and will be the safe and happy wife
of prosperous man.

ry?"

ERIAL OF YOUTH AND ROMANO

stephen Livingstone waited to di-
vest himself of his hat and coat be-

This done, he entered the library,
rubbing his hands and looking Gag
erly at the open fire.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. This is
pleasant! 1t is cold and raw outside
There is a storm brewing"
Then he stopped, arrested by the
expression on his wife's face. He
knew what it meant before he went
through the form of asking. But,
manlike, he wished to avoid a dis
agreeable moment by pretending to
be unaware that it was approaching.
You wanted me, Amanda, my
dear?" he queried Good after
noon, Cynthia! l see that you ladies

cup. She had forgotten all about

necessity of a reply.

He was no coward and brought

he would tackle it unfalteringly.
His wife hesitated, uncertain
whether to remain in the room or
go out. The husband settled the
matter for her.

he said, II think Cynthia and !

ILife'sProblems

BY MRS WILSON WOODROW


l have two letters before me, one
form a man and one from a wom-
am. Both are seeking happiness
their own specific kind; no other
brand will do for them. In this
they do not differ from the rest of
the world. Every one is longing foI
happiness. Every one believes it
woulu be his if it were not for the
two towering mountains which
block his pathway-the great noun
tain IF and its counterpart and
twin. But" We would be blithe and
happy and good and gay If it were
not for this or but" for that
Or every side one hears the cry,
Il could be perfectly happy if l

Advice to the Lovelorn

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going out with a young
man for two years. Lately have
been giving my time to dancing,
which he does not approve of, as he
does not dance much, and I do not
pay as much attention to him when
1 meet him at dances as I used to,
although 1 care for him just the
same.
I have met him at several dances
lately, and I notice that he is pay
ing attention to another girl whom
1 know personally.
Do you think I should sacrifice my
dancing for him?
BEWILDERED
A terrible sacrifice is being asked
of you! No wonder you say you are
bewildered. Dancing is a tremen-
dously important thing and in this
time when the whole world is writh-
ing under the lash of tragedy, you
do well to give your time to dan
cling. How can you say you care for
this man? How can you claim to
care for anything but gayety, diver
sion and completely selfish amuse-
ment? No wonder your sweetheart
is paying attention to another girl.
think there is more at stake than
just that you should sacrifice your
dancing for the sake of your love,
as you put it. 1 think you should
teach yourself to have a sense of
values-conquer your weaknesses for
the sake of being worthwhile
woman. By all means sacrifice"
your dancing for the sake of devel-
oping dignity and character.
