ORD LANSDOWNE has been
given the grand refusal, it
would appear. Newspaper opin-
ion opposes him everywhere,
i although il Germany, where his
' ~. is expected to find favor, he had
! ~ If acceptance, even there he did not
,espe suspicion.
When Lord Lansdowne first confided

"A not possess unanimity. At that time
definite if small section of opinion had
10 determined notions about an indeter-
innate kind of peace. Some observers
,ov Lord Lansdowne as an old gentle
nan whose powers of resistance had
ssen worn down by the struggle and
vhose feelings had led him to cry out

And finally he was described as a Tory,
anxious about his privileges and fearful

darkly on his horizon and the horizon of
his class.
It is this last Jew that predominates
in editorial judgment of his latest warn
ng. But, coming on top of an effectual
rfutation of German military superior
ty commentators use their judgment to
drive home more deeply the conviction
that Lord Lansdowne's way out" is in
escapably not a way out that it is rather
way to locking shut the chains Ger
many would put upon the world, and to
refusal to every hope Of liberty the
world now entertains.
1T is difficult to see in Lord Lans-
iowne anything but an apostle of sur

public can, adding that to make peace
under present conditions is to surrender.
This paper goes on to say:

and rulers must reckon with it,"
The same opinion appears in this ex-
tract from "The Savannah Morning

A n
NJ reverie called Beads"
Ayk which appeared in the July
number of Harper's Maya
zine, has been the cause of widespread
discussion. Mrs. Deland. who is a nov
elst of reputation and the author among
The Awakening OF Helena Ritchie,"
wrote from Paris and could not hide a
profound pessir,ism produced in her by
the war. She prophesied world catas-
trophe and the submergence of the pres
ent civilization if the war continued.
and implied the existence of French
opinion that America had entered the
war too late. The article was vigorously
attacked in newspapers by correspond
ents as "defeatist," and at the best I'M
true or mistaken. The following answer,
written by Gertrude Atherton, herself
we'll known novelist. is taken from The
Chronicle" New York publication:

writer for whom have such a profound
admiration as I have for Mrs. Delsnd, but
it seems to me that her article in the July
"Harpers Magazine" should be answered
by another American novelist, who also has
been in Paris since the war and who has
taken consuming interest in the great
world drama since August |. 1914. To my
mind. however, think she has been too
severely criticised. | do not believe she
would have written that article after her
return to the United States she was very
close, the strain over there is intense, and
she was suffering from a simple attack f

/ do not think that any American should
write about the war while within the sound
of the guns and in sight OF the terrible mis-
cry that entails. This, of course, ex-
cepts the keen businesslike correspondents
who are not only men but quite impersonal,
with no in their minds for sentimen-
tai analysis, or anything but their job
wrote this article at least four months ago.
1t takes very nearly month for letters to
reach this country from Paris, and a maya
zine goes TO bed some three months before
1t is published. That would mem that she
wrote this depressed and extremely depress-
ing article some time during the great Ger
man drive in March, when there vas good
deal of uneasiness in the world No doubt
there was more in France than elsewhere as
so little news is given to the press.

into the water just five and one-half

observed:

Il the supplementary comment on
what turned out to be England's
first reply to the Lansdowne letter.
Lloyd Georges statement that ''tha
longer the war lasts the sterner must
be the economic terms we impose upon
the foe" aroused widespread discus
sion. "The Montreal Star" posed the
Lloyd George terms thus:
"Dd Mr.. Lloyd George mean that the
afterwar economic league which will be
formed will be open to Germany upon her
compliance with our terms, or did he mean
that Germany is to be shut out from all
partici patton in it? If the former meaning
in his mind there can be no quarrel
with his attitude; if the latter then he has
given Germany good ground for the asser-
ton that she is fighting against national
determination. The Allies now have con-
troll of by far the greater part Of the
worlds supply of materials. We in
tend to use that control for our own adj
vantage for the whole of the reconstruction
period that will ollow the war or, as Mr..
Lloyd George says, we will see that the
people who have been fighting together
gerved first. Germany must realize this
and make up her mind that she will receive
scant consideration Of her own pressing
needs until satisfied, no matter
how long that may take. But fixed eco
nomic alliance against Germany, not for
the reconstruction period, but for in
definite number of years, is another mat
ter. II is open TO question that such
policy would receive the consent even Of
all the Allies"
"The Boston Transcript" was more
certain Of the meaning of the statement:
British, French and American consumers,
no more than the manufacturers Of the
same nations, can, after having put them
selves quite absolutely in the hands of
their respective governments, be thrown to
the German wolves the moment the war is
over Mr. Lloyd George puts the situation
in single plain sentence: Il think we
ought to see that the people who have been
lighting Together should be served first In

| GIVE INSIGHT TO CHARACTER
Shape Of Eyebrows Reveal Vigor, In.
sincerity, Lack Of Vitality, and
Many Other Things.

1t is now conceded that the Greek
eyebrow is, quite in accord with the
conception of mere physical beauty in
women. Like the rosebud mouth. it
does not indicate the highest order Of
intelligence and the arch is expressive
always of greater sensibility and great
er sense of character, says London
Mt-Bits.
Scant growth of the eyebrows invari-
ably denotes lack Of vitality; on the
contrary, heavy, thick eyebrows indi-
cate strong constitution and great
physical endurance. They are not
beautiful on woman's face, however
much they may signify either mental
or bodily vigor,. and when they are not
only heavy, but droop and meet at
the nose, they are disagreeable and are
said to accompany an insincere and
prying nature.
Romantic women usually have a very
well-defned arch in the center of the
eyebrow, while sense of humor is in
dicated in the arch nearer the nose.
Long, dropping eyebrows, lying wide
apart, indicate an amiable dispositions
Where the eyebrows are lighter in COL
or than the hair, the indications are lack
of vitality and great sensitiveness.
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs of Incidence
and weakness.
Very black eyebrows give the face an
intenSe and searching evnressinp =.
when natural, they accompany a pas
sfonate temperament. Very light eye
brows rarely are seen on strongly intel
lectual faces, although the color Of the
eyebrows is not accepted simply as de-
noting lack of Intelligence; the form
gives the key to the faculties and their
direction. Red eyebrows denote great
fervor and ambition; brown, 4 medium
between red and black. A.

HOUSE BUILDING IN KOREA
Operations Always Begun by tho Con;

System Of FlUee. 81.

When Korean begins to build q
house he first lays down q system of
flues where the floor is to be. These
flues begin at a fireplace, usually
built In an outer shed or in a closed
alleyway connected with the house.
From the fireplace the flues branch
out like the ribs of q fan and end in
trench at the back of the floor space.
This trench, in turn, opens into a
chimney, usually built at some dis
lance from the house. When the tlues
are completed the builder carefully
covers them over, with tlag$tones; he
then cements the whole floor and COW
ers It with a sort of thick oiled paper
for which. Korea is famous The rest
of the house is then built round the
completed hoor. s....:' =. e.:.:: !;

fireplace passes: through the hues
heating the stone flags of the floor
and dinusing pleasant warmth that
lasts until 1t is time to prepare the

On the floor the people sit by day and
