ments which we're issued by German
propaganda attempting 10 establish
Germany's innocence, never made any
impression upon me. For my conclu-
sions as to the responsibility are not
based on suspicious of belief or the
study OF circumstantial data.
II do noe have TO reason OF argue
about the matter. I know. The conspir-
acy that has caused the greatest OF
human tragedies was Matched by the
kaiser and his imperial crew at the
Potsdam conference OF July B, 1914
One OF the chief participants, flushed
with his triumph at the apparent sue
cess OF the plot. told me the details
with his own mouth. Whenever ] hear
people arguing about the responsible
.ity for the war or read the clumsy
and living excuses put forth by Ger
many. / simply recall the bRrly figure
OF Won Wangenheim as he appeared on
that August afternoon, putting away
a. a huge black cigar. and giving me
his count OF this historic meeting.

Thank you for your letter OF yes
terday. / do entirely approve of the ac-
tbon taken by the woman's committee
in executive session. namely. that a
three-inch black band should be worn
upon which a gilt star may be placed
for each member OF the family whose
life Is lost in the service, and that the
band shall be worn on the left arm. /
hope and believe that thoughtful peo-
pie everywhere will approve OF this
action and | hope that you will be
kind enough TO make the suggestion OF
the committee public with the state
ment that II has my cordial endorse
ment."
In a statement accompanying the
presidents letter the committee says:
For a long time the woman's com
mittee has been receiving letters from
women urging some such action on
their part. The determined avoidance
OF mourning by English women has
been much commented on and prais-
ed. One woman who advocates this
step has four Sons in the service, one
OF whom has already been Killed. She
wrote recently:
Il know the costliness OF such su-
preme glory and sacrifice, and have
felt both the selfish temptation TO
hide my pain behind a mourning that
would hold off intrusion, and the in
spiration and stimulus of keeping up
10 my gallant sons expectation that
I should regard his death as a happy
promotion into higher service. Patri-
otism lea such exalted living that
dying Is not the harder part"
The insignia which has been chosen
by the woman's committee is of a
kind that can readily be made at home
out OF whatever material can be pro-
cured. The band is 10 be black and
three inches wide. the stars gilt, and
one for each member of the family
who has lost his life in the service.
These stars may be of gold, of gilded
metal. OF satin. or of cloth. The design
will not be patented, and the insignia
will never become a commercial ar

MOURNING BADGE THAT II
An EMBLEM OF INDY
ING GLORY.


Frankly facing the fact that the
death roll OF Americans who are fight
INK for their country In Europe must
Inevitably grow. the Woman's Com
mittee OF the Council Of National De-
fense recommends that a black arm
band with a gold star be worn instead
OF mourning by American women who
have lost members OF their families
In the service OF their country. Such
insignia. Il Is felt. will express better
than mourning the feeling OF the Am
erican people that such losses are a
matter OF glory rather than OF pros
|trating grief and depression. In a let

chairman OF the woman's committee.
President Wilson has endorsed the

Flowing Hills, Hummocks
and Corners

VOU should know the wonderful f~exibility of the
4 Parrett tractor.
The front axle is supported on a pivot that allows
this axle TO swing freely up and down, making it
possible for the tractor to 60 fearlessly and freely
over hills and hummocks and to adapt itself readily
TO rough, uneven ground. In addition, its extremely
short turning radius enables it to pillow right into the
corners of the field.
You may be sure that the Psrrett will do the work on your
farm Even the tough sod of the North and the rice swamps
OF the South have held no terrors for the Parrctt. Under these
extremes Of soil conditions it has pulled three Ia bottoms
steadily day in and day out at a speed of IN miles per hour.
The Psrrett can run q 20 to 70 inch separator or do any
other kind OF power chores demanding equal power. Ii burns
kerosene-and that means all of the kerosene, burning it
economically and efficiently. Furthermore, it has a sensitive
ball governor that Hooverzes the fuel at every change in
speed or power requirement. making it impossible to use more
fuel than is needed for the job in hand.
And II will only take one man or one boy TO operate both
the Parrett and the implement behind il. II is self-steering in
the furrow. No special hitch is required TO work with Parrett
power. II is just a good common sense. nightly efficient
power unit for all kinds of work on your farm.
Let US prove it further by giving you a demonstration.
Anytime you say.
