INCORRUPTIBLE

Money spent in the South for propaganda work was thrown
away Mr., Bielaski, OF the department Of justice, told the senate
Judiciary committee in the course of his detailed account of how
tthe German government spent 81, 10000 in the spread Of pro
fGernan propaganda in the United States between the outbreak
Iof the war and Americas entry into the conflict.
Many prominent men fell under the sway of the influence
et German gold. 1t was scattered with a profigate hand. Some
ff IT reached the spot and accomplished its purpose. and some
pt 1t went to the grafters, who did not render any service. A
sgoodly part went to subsidize small and inconsequcntial pubGca-
tions, but Bernstorf early recognized the fact Of an American
newspaper being subsidized can never be kept secret, because
there is no reticence in this country What Bernstorff did not
recognize was that a newspaper that can be bought is worthless,
and that the people have a way in this country of nquiring into
the motives and ahgnments OF newspapers. 1t was so different
in Bernstorffs country.
The integrity OF the press, which Bernstorff gave another
name because he was unacqualntcd with integrity, is merely an
example OF the integrity of the people, reflected more brilliantly,
Es shown by Mr.. Bielaski, in the South than in any other sec
ftion Of the country.
The South comes in for frequent and sharp criticism
because 1t does not pay an equal amount of tax per acre as the
East, and because the conduct of the government is LARGELY in
the hands OF Southern men, Assurcdly there can be no question
OF the safety of the government in the hands of men that come
from a section that is poor in money, but incorruptible in
patriotism.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE ART OF PLEASING.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

often wonder why parents, who have
the welfare OF their children so much
at heart, never take the trouble to
teach them the gentle art Of pleasing,
No one can be so stupid az not to
realize that the ability to make friends
and to produce an agreeable impression
upon ones fellow creatures is about the
most important asset that any man or
woman can possess, II Is n letter Of
credit that the world nonprs at sight,
II Is the open sesame 10 the doors that
lead TO success In business and society,
for people viii do things for us because
they like us that they would not do
simply because ii was just or right
to ave our lives.
Every father and mother knows this
and yet they let their children grow
up brusque and rude N ove~rbearing,
with a personality tnat antagunizes
everyone at sight, and which makes
everyone whom they meet yoarn tO
hand them some sort OF a solar plexus
blow.
Conscientious parents teach their
children to keep clean, be honest, and
speak the truth, They might well add
to this another admontion to he agree
able, for without pleasautness all OF the
other virtues become AS sounding brass
and tinklinR CNmbals.
why should children not be taught
to be agreeable" Why should they not
be taught to turn a smiling face instead
Of a grouchy one Upon the world, and
TO Put what they have to say into
words that molltfy instead Of insult tho
one to whom they arc Addressed
1t isn't what he says, it's the nasty
way he says IT," Chevalier used to sing
about the man who had mortally Of
Tended him, and we have all felt like
joining In the chorus. We all know
people who even do generous and kindly
acts in such n nasty way that they
make their good deeds unrorgivable Of
lenses,

said, would be in charge of representa-
tives Of the allied and American gov
ernments. All available food supplies
in the central powers would first be
apportioned. including the reserves, if
any, held for the armies, it was said.
A survey is now being made by the
food administration to determine the
worlds food supply. Pending its COM
pletiOn the new food conservation plan
for the American public is held up.
The survey will include investigation
OF the interior food supply available in
Austria Hungary and the Balkans. Of
ficials OF the food administration are
said to believe that investigation will
disclose food supplies which have here
tofore not been available owing to dis
sension between the Teutonic allies.
With Austria definitely. out of the
war the opening of the Mediterranean
and the India route, as well as the
so-caiied short Australian route, will
release vast grain supplies INC other
foodstuffs in that part Of the world,
Austrian merchant ships, It is said,
may be used to transport these sup
plies.
The food program worked out by the
i~nter-allied food council, Of which Food
Administrator Hoover is a member,
calls upon America to ship to the allies
II 800, 600 tons OF foodstuffs the coming
year. With the necessity Of assisting
in feeding civilians in Middle Europe,
il is roughly estimated that a mini
mum Of 5000, 900 tons will have to be
added to that figure, though the ending
Of the war necessarily will make pos
side increased production throughout
Europe next year,
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1918-12-13

Americas biggest job for several
years after the war will be to supply
European nations with food and mate
rails for rebuilding the war-swept ter
r%itories, The U. S, ships now trans
porting our men across and carrying
ammunition n supplies to them and
the allied fighters will be used for car
rying foodstuffs and materials and
supplies Of all kinds to the countries
devastated and impoverished by the
conflict, Much Of the land in France,
Belgium and Italy will not he produc-
tive for years, The materials Of the
The manufacturing plants have been
machinery will be lacking. And lastly,
the man power Cf those nations win
need years to attain its full speed, in
dustrially speaking.
America and the allies also arc plan
ming to cooperate in making available
as far MS possible food and other sup
plies necessary for the lives Of the
demorali2ed civilian populations in once
enemy countries.
This became known recently through
the publication Of a message from col
u. NJ, House at Paris to President VIII
son saying the supreme war council at
Versailles had adopted a resolution an
nounClng It's desire to cooperate with
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey in fur
nisEtng the necessities Of NE for the
suffering peoples Of those nations.
AT tho conclusion Of the meeting az
the supreme war council recently"
said Coz. Houses message, Il proposed
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1918-12-13

n resolution in the following sense and
the same was adopted; The supreme
war council i'm session at Versailles de-
siTes to cooperate with Austria, Tur-
key and Bulgaria in the making avail
able as far as possible OF food and
other supplies necessary for the lives Of
the civilian population Of those coun-
tries. '"
This announcemen is expected to
have ~far-reaChing effect In Germany,
where, from all accounts, the food stu
alton IL only a little less serious than
ii is In the countries until recently
allied with Germany in the war. Con-
ditions are represented as particularly
serious in Austria Hungary, where food
riots have been frequent and where

Food Aumin,eu.. 49,. hoover, it Is
said. is working out now food con
s%ervation plans to assure supplies not
only for the peoples Of the nations that
have been eliminated from the war, but
also the liberated populations Of Be-
gium and Northern France, and ever
Germany.
1t is understood that the plan con
templated by Hoover, but which the
president is now known to have ap-
proved, provides for a %rationing sys-
tenn similar to that employed in Bel
GUM by the commission for relief in
Belgium, which was worked out by
Hoover, chairman of the commission,
and his assistants on the basis of the
rtqutted number Of calories necessary
for each individual.

These are they Of whom we say that
their bark Is worse than their bite, but
alas, none of us IKE to be barked at,
and we keep as far away as possible
from those who have the habits Of
an ill-mannercd cur. Thus it is that
many a man and woman or a heart Of
gold goes through lie unloved and un-
appreciated simply because they had
never learned the gentle art of pleas
ing,
There is an agreeable way npd a
dtsagreeable way OF putting everything.
and those parents who do not teach the
children n pleasing mode OF speech ave
done them an irreparable injury. One
can even say, No. with such kindli-
ness, with such regret, with such an
obvious wish that one could have
granted the favor asked that one takes
all the sting from the refusal. and one
can say Yes with such arrogance,
with such turbulence, with such con-
descension that It makes the recipient
want 10 throw the favor back in the
donnCr's face.
Children can be taught to speak
courtecusly. They can be taught to
show consideration for the feelings Of
others. They can be taught how to
read and write, n these are the
groundwork OF the art Of pleasing. To
let boys and girls grow up INDUCING in
glum moods, in swapping and snarling
out replies to the things people say to
them, and in permitting them to make
brutal speeches Is nothing less than
criminal negligence on the parents
part,
Tho art Of pleasing consists in know
ing how to get along with people, how
to rub their fur the right way instead
Of doing it in a way that makes them
arch their backs and fight for you.
This Is a talent for which the world
pays big money and which lands its
happy possessor on the top Of the lad
der. In Its supreme expression 1t is a
gift Of the gods, but a very good work.
