WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

The arrival in this country not
long ago of Mrs. Adolphus Busch, the
multimillionaire widow of st. Louis
who had been living in Germany for
several years, brought to light an In
.terestlng situation which, SO far as
there Is any record, has never before
actually existed In history. Although
Mrs. Busch, whose husband was the
famous brewer, Adolphus Busch, and
who is herself the "Anheuser" Of the
widely known "Anheuser-Busch," is
really the richest widow in the world,
with more than $80.0O0.0O0 in money
and properties. yet her return to the
United States has revealed her as lit

Technically. Mrs. Busch Is a citi-

Because OF their idea that they
as a nation have q special mission
in the world. the Germans have
been led to believe that the great
est force in the carrying out of this
mission is the establishment of
world influence and prestige.
This idea of their mission in the
world and their demand for world
influence and prestige is what we
mean when We name Pan-German-
ism as cause Of this war.
The German people ardently be-
lieve that the German race is SUI
perior in science, in art, i'll COM
merce, to every other race in the
world, or that ever has existed in
the world. From this they have
come to feel that it is their duty to
Germanize the world. But we will
have to explain what we mean
when We say "Germanize" the
world.
We know that all nations have
different ways of studying and de-
veloping science. The Germans
believe that they should blot out
all the methods and tastes of all
other races and put the German
manner of thinking In their place.
The German emperor said in one
Of his speeches.: God has called
us to civilize the werld; we are the
missionaries of human progress"
We believe, on the other hand
that each race of people has some
thing to contribute to the develop
ment of human progress. It is
after all, just like the story of the
three blind boys who approached
an elephant for the first time. One

Italian Children
Love Red Cross

OF all the American Red Cross
activities in Genoa, the one most
beloved by the Genoese is Creche
No. l, where forty children from
soldiers families are fed, bathed,
dressed and cared for from eight
in the morning until six in the
evening. The tots are all under
six" and the mother of each is a
worker who must be away from
home all day.
Except for their written histo-
ries, which are filed away in the
directors room, there is no hint
that these children represent the
entire range of human suffering
caused by war. Several are the or
phans of parents killed in air raids
over Padua and Venice. Some are
the children of soldiers who have
been crippled and incapacitated for
further work. The fathers of 9TH
ers disappeared during the Italian
retreat Of last November and have
never been heard of. Some of the
missing fathers are prisoners in
Austria. The sewing women at
Creche No. / are housed and fed in
the building. They are the wild
ows of soldiers, who work in a
room under the roof, sewing busily
on the clean bingham aprons the
children wear. The output Of this
sewing room goes not only to the
children in the institution below,
but to dozens Of other needy young.

occasioned by the war.

RUSSIAN NAMES.

Russian names are not as ter
rible as they first seem. when one
understands how they are formed.
Each boy and girl is called by the
first two names, paying no atten-
ton to the family name. The sec
ond name, or middle name, is al
ways the fathers given name. to
which, for a boy "ovitch" is added,
and for a girl ''ovna." For instance
IL an American boy named James
Michael Johnson, should go to Rus
STA, he would be called James
Michaelovitch, while his sister Hell
en- would be called Helen Michael
witch, while his sister Helen would
be called Helen Michaelovna.
