The theory that because man has reached the stage CT entering the old soldiers home, he is no longer useful as 9 defender of town is exploded in "The Spirit of IT, @hich stars Jack Pickford and which is up for final showings at the La.,ara today. The locale is a copper mine in a western town, on the outskirts of which is To-
 cated an old soldiers home. The young son of the superintendent of the insti- tuition (Jack Pickford) thrilled by the old soldiers stories of the spies of oth- CT wars, determines to keep on the lookout for spies in his own peaceful town. His vigil is rewarded by the discovery of two strange providers in the vicinity of the mine, and he at once sets out to learn their object. His surprise may well be imagined when he overhears them planning a general strike, and set the day for the walkout.

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of men in
Americas Fighting Service

Sergt. Charles H. Rushton of the
United States marines was wounded.
Staunohipg the flow of blood the best
he could, he continued with his pla-
toon, shouting his commands. urging
on his marines to greater efforts
against the Huns.
Time and again there came the sug
gestion that Sergeant Rushton seek
the aid of surgeon. But he only
gritted his teeth and remained at his
post of duty. Then came the supreme
moment.
Liaison must be established quickly
with another unit 1t was matter of
life and death, and the man who ac-
complished the feat must make his
way thru a barrage fire. The wound
ed sergeant of marines determined to
make the trip himself.
Dodging from shell-hole to she'll
hole. crawling along the ground. run
ming from shelter to shelter, he finally
reached the other unit. Success in
liaison had been accomplished. The
marines went on to victory, and Ser
geant Rushton was recommended for
a distinguished service medal. He is

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am an En-
glishman and have been in this coun-
try six years. / left England because
had quarrel with my fancee. We
were going to be married and the day
was set Because of something 1 did
she broke the engagement and would
not consider marrying me. 1 could not
forget her after l came here and no
other girl interests me.
Several months ago I was working
in one of our largest cities. One day
was in a department store in the
sporting section and L happened to
see a very pretty girl who evidently
noticed me. Later 1 learned that she
belonged to very wealthy family. She
seemed to love me at first sight and
later managed to get acquainted with
a woman who knew me and we were
formally introduced. ! was entertained
i'm her home several times and then
came here to take a position. She
writes to me often and / know she
would like to have me marry her and
bring her here. I am not happy living
loves me, or wait until after the war
and go back to England and try to re-
gain the love of my former sweetheart
who has never married?
DOUBTFUL.
Do not marry unless you are sure
you will better your conditions. II you
are unhappy now you may find your
self far more unhappy married to a
girl you do not love. 1t would not be
a kindness to make her your wife
without love. If you still care for the
girl in England it would be worth try
ing to regain her love.
Dear Mrs. Thomson. have a very
dear boy friend who has just been
called to service. His mother is dead
and he has no near relatives to knit
for him. 1 would like to knit a
sweater and send 1t to him. Mother
thinks this would pc running after
him. I know him so we'll that I'm
sure he would not look at it in that
way. Do you think 1t would be all
right for me to do it for him?
NINETEEN.
The boy will hive no cause to think
you are running after him. 1t is per-
Missile to knit for strangers who are
| in the war. and surely if you can knit
| for stranger you can knit for a good
friend.

Austria has submitted to what are
probably the most drastic and humil-
iating terms of surrender ever i'm
posed by one nation or group OF ma
tions upon another. These terms
carry with them something r.ore than
is customarily implied by uncondi-
tional surrender. Among the unusual
features are those providing that Aus
tria must repatriate all prisoners of
war without reciprocal action on the
part of the allies and that she submit
to the occupation of all strategic
points in her territory that her con-
querors may designate. She Is begin
ming to learn what it means to start
an unjustifiable war. The terms are
a foretaste of what Germany may ex-
pect. They provide for the use of Aus
trian railroads by the allies for the
purpose of transporting their armie,
to the southern and eastern boun-
daries of Germany. If it shall be
deemed necessary. 1t is safe to say
that an entrance thru that country q
back door will not be called for. She
will surrender just as Austria has done
when she shall be given the opportun-
ity. The war practically is at an end

SETTLEMENT DAY COMING.

When Germany surrenders she
probably will want to haggle over the
price she will be required to pay for
the damage she has inflicted during
her four years of effort to rule or ruin
the world.
Belgium has fixed her material
losses sustained during the invasion at
approximately four billions of dollars.
OF course. this is exclusive of the
priceless treasures which the torch
destroyed at Louvain and elsewhere.
France will have a bill at least twice
as great as that of Belgium. Serbia
and Poland and Italy and other small
err countries which have suffered from
wanton spoliation of the Germans, will
have bills to present. And on top Of
all of that. England, Norway, France,
Italy. Spain and other countries will
demand and exact payment for the
millions of tons of shipping that Ger
many's U-boats destroyed. This tom
mage, according to the United States
shipping board, on September 1, 1918.
totaled 1S.062.0ss dead weight tons.
No account is taken of the cargoes
sunk with these boats.
It will not do for Germany to say
as she is attempting to say today
that this destruction was due to mill
tary necessity. That subterfuge will
not be accepted. The destruction per-
sistently carried on by the German
armies both during the invasion four
years ago and in their retreat in the

THE GREAT GERMAN FAKE.

One OF the most startling indict-
ments of Hun trickery and deception
Is contained in statement issued
by Ralph M. Easley. formerly of
Kansas. which exposes, fully and for
the first time. how Germany for over
two decades imposed upon the world
the most colossal fake in history. By
a deliberate scientific propaganda, in
which she was aided and abetted by
certain paid or unpaid American writ
ers. Germany actually succeeded in
putting across the claim that she had
done more for the laboring classes
than any other country; that she led
the world in industrial efficiency,
scientific inventions, medical discov-
cries, and in music, literature and art.
Instead OF having done more for
any other nation. as she has claimed,
Mr.. Easley proves that German work
ers labored for longer hours and for
shorter pay than those of any other
country; that the much-vaunted Ger
man social insurance schemes netted
the beneficiaries less than one dollar
each week, and that the farm loan
schemes benefited chiefly the Junker
landlords; that in Germany poverty
abounded and the appalling rate of in
FAINT mortality and child suicides was
equaled only in the Austro- Hungarian
empire and Russia. Germany is
shown to have been far behind other
nations in science, medicine and the
arts, and her much-extolled prosper
ity, Mr.. Easley declares, has been
based on the robbery of the inventions
and discoveries of other nations.
"While Germany was preparing
armies and manufacturing cannon for
her intended onslaught for world
dominion she was engaged at the
same time in a peaceful offensive de-
signed to win from America an over
whelming and subservient admiration
and esteem which should disarm our
indignation and render US inert when
the time for her first blow came" says
Mr.. Easley. ITO camouflage her bale
full preparations and sinister inten-
tons. Germany during those years
presented herself as nation, which
by industry, thrift and the practice OF
homely virtues, had not only become
prosperous in peaceful industry bu
had evolved social paradise for the
" orking classes :.

Thus, with the public behind them,
American artists are gradually COM
ing into their own. Recognition from
the government may not be coming
as quickly as it should. but it will
come. Local governments. at any
rate. are proving enthusiastic spon-
sors of their cause. During the
fourth liberty loan campaign Mayor
Hylan appointed a committee of the
best New York artists to decorate
Fifth. avenue. This commission was
executed with such remarkable ef-
ficiency that the whole city was ire
mendously impressed and has offered
its support in the holding of an inter-
national exhibition on the order OF the
Salon in Paris. Plans for this exhi.
bition are now being formed by a
committee of artists who are hoping
fervently that the government will
raise its ban on the elder artists SO
that there will be a number of Ameri-
can war masterpieces to exhibit in
this international exhibition.

The people of my state could con-
tribute to no worthier cause than
this of the United War Work. we
Kansans live in the heart OF comfort
and of plenty. The days are past
when to acknowledge oneself a
Kansan was to meet queer ques-
tons from fasteners about grass
hopers. If anything, today Ran
sas has too much money FOR tnAI
season until June, 1917. the eastern
newspapers assumed that Kansas
was not eagerly concerned IN the
conduct of the war. Booth Tark-
ington in the June issue of the
American magazine for that year
wrote the first vindication of the
ouietness which had characterized
the middle west at a time when the
east was wildly excited. When the
enlistment returns began to come IN
and the liberty bond subscriptions
there was no further question OF the
wholeheartedness of the west.

He began quite deliberately and told
her he has loved her fifteen years.
and was asking her to marry him now
because he wanted to make her indie
pendent pay her bills and share his
years savings with her.
And Susan promptly told Horace
that she didn't think she could ever
find a husband who would suit her
better, let him steal one short deliri-
Gus kiss and sent him off to bed.
Somehow Horace had expected she
would say that she appreciated his
generosity about taking the debts. He
concluded that she was still proud, as
Yagers always were, and this is why
she had not done So. But the next
| day she met him with radiant smile
