DOUGHBOYS GENTLEMEN.
Germans Pay Tribute to Valor and Chiv-
airy Of Our Men.

A captured German officer is quoted
in the dispatches as saying that the
Americans fight like devils, but after
the fight act like gentlemen. That is high
tribute to American valor and chivalry.
1t is not unwarranted. Our soldiers
have never been of the besserk sort.
They fight as they play games, to win
but not by treacherous means. They
know that in this war they are dealing
with a treacherous foe, who is givou
to raising his arms in token of surrender
with the cry OF "kamerad'' and then
shooting his captor in the back. They
know that the German code of military
honor knows only one rule, to win by
fair means or by foul, and the fouler
the means the more satisfactory. Hence
they have gone into this fight with the
idea that their enemy is not to be trusted
But they play the game nevertheless
II they have to kill, they +ill without
torture. They have never been guilty
of er,icifying their captives. II an en-
emy yields in good faith, they treat
him as they would have their own cap
tors treat them, fairly, decently and
humancly If that is the quality of the
gentleman, our soldiers have fairly won
the title.

GERMANS NOT WANTED
IN THE UNITED STATES
Demand That the Hun be Barred
From Entering Our Country
at Immigrants Gate.

With Germany crushed and beaten into
insensibilitv, from henceforth second or

who will find it quite AS easy to plumber

to come rs it has been TO rob and kill
Frenehmcn and Belgians in the years that
are past-with all these things happening
in Germany, it may be assumed that large
numbers of the inhabitants OF that
wretched country will make an attempt
to leave it at the earliest moment. Where
will they go2
Surely not to any Of the allied countries
in Europe or To their colonics-not just
now. Not even 10 the now nations that

with which Germany WAS allied, for these
countries will be revolutionary, pauper
lands for wears to come. Is IT not there
fore reasonable to suppose that many OF
them will try to come TO America?
America has plenty of room for Inn
migrants America wants immigrants.
America is rich. America is orderly and
free. America is easy, tolerant, long TO
suffer and quick to forgive. These facts
can hardly be overlooked by the German
who has il in mind TO leave Germany. II Is
accordingly likely that we shall very soon
have to decide what our attitude shall
he toward these people. DO we want them
or not
Most emphatically We do not want
those German soldiers who during the
four years last past have looted homes,
tortured prisoners, raped women, and
bavoneted babies In other words, we
do not want at least nine out Of ten Ger
man ex-soldlcrs Further, We do not want
any one from Germany who defends now

government Such people would be
dangerous citizens. Given the oppor-
tunity, they would most certainly commit

Undoubtedly there are still decent men
and women in Germany, But they are
very greatly in the minority. There IS
no reason why VIC should oppose the Inn
migration of this class But those who are
decent cannot object If We demand proof
of their dcccncy before We permit them to

people feel resentment toward the de-
vastating, murderous Hun that is i'm

CHAPTER VII.


CINCE nothing in this world is abso-
lutely immutable - the human
emotions least of all perhaps
Billy Louise did not hold changeless
her broken faith in Ward. She saw it
broken into fragments before the evil
dence OF her own eyes and the frag-
ments ground to dust beneath the
weight OF what she knew of his past
things he had told her himself. SO she
thought there was no more faith in
him, and her heart went empty and
aching through the next few days.
But, since Billy Louise was human
and a woman--not altogether because
she was twenty-she stopped after
awhile, gathered carefully the dust of
her dead faith, and, like God, she be-
gan to create. First she fashioned
doubts of her doubt How did she
know she had not made a mistake,
there at that corralf Other men wore
gray hats and rode dark bay horses;
other men were slim and tall, and she
had only had a glimpse, after all, and
the light was deceptive down there In
the shadows. When that first doubt
was nodded and she had breathed into

odds and ends to the middle OF the bed,
crushed the clipping into her palm and
went out stealthily into the immaculate

Billy Louise went to the stable,
through that and on beyond, still rum
ming. Farther down was a grassy
nook-on beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. II she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could still believe and be
happy If only she could forget the
things 1t said.
Phoebe called her after long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed her
face In the cold water of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine

THOUGHT WILL RULE WORLD

VIII Be Grown Like Corn.

In the lobby Of big Fifth avenue
club one evening recently, group of
scientific men were discussing the war
as being the necessity that will bring
about some startling inventions, notes
New York correspondent. If the
sprinkling of intellectual luminati
were not stamped by genius, it is prob
able that an ordinary bystander would
have tapped his forehead knowingly.
One of them was telling about a sci
enlist who is already telephoning to
airplanes without wires. And another
quoted a famous inventor who said
that it would only be a short while
until all telephone wires would be abol-
ished as unessential.
1.-THE fact is" he said, "that tele-
phone wires do not In reality carry
our messages. Every scientist knows
that. Back of it all is the great proc
ess of thought which we are only be-
ginning feebly to understand.
1.-THE more we delve into this proc
ess of thought-whatever It is-the
more we come to the conclusion that
the material phenomena Is the pro-
lection Of thought. We konw that ev-
cry material thing comes from a
thought or an idea.
1--WE are arriving at the conclusion
that even space Is thought, for we are
annihilating space every day through
thinking process. 1t will not be
many generations before every ship at
sea Is controlled by thought from
shore. Our trains are going to be run
without fuel, and we are going to grow

real unburdening Ward was an unrea-
sonable young man. Billy Louise look
ed at him again, and this time her
eyes were clear and friendly.
Ward was not satisfied, for all the
surface seemed smooth enough. He
was too sensitive not to feel differ
ence, and he was too innocent of any
wrongdoing or thinking to guess what
eter of personal atmosphere, and Ward
had none of it. The worst of him she
had known for more than year. He
had told her himself, and she had heal

firm belief in him and by her friend
ship. Could you expect Ward to guess
that she had seen her faith in him die
violent death no longer than two
weeks ago? Such a possibility never
occurred to him.
For all that be felt there was a diff.
ference somewhere. He carried back
with him fit of the blues which seem

1t the breath Of life SO that 1t stood
sturdily before her she took heart and
created reasons, a whole company of
them, to tell her why she ought to give
Ward the benefit Of the doubt. She
remembered what Charlie Fox had said
about circumstantial evidence. She
would not make the mistake he had
made.
SO she spent other days and long,
wakeful nights. And since it seemed
impossible to bring her faith to life
again just as it had been, with the
glamor of romance and the sweetness
OF pity and the strength OF her own in
nocence to make 1t beautiful faith
indeed, she used all her innocence and
all her pity and little Of romance and
created something even sweeter than
her untried faith had been. She had a
new element to strengthen it. She
knew that she loved Ward. She had
learned that from the hurt 1t had given
her to lose her faith in him.
That was the record Of the inner
Billy Louise which no one ever saw.
The Billy Louise which her little world
knew went her way unchanged except
In small details that escaped the no.
tice OF those nearest her A look in
her eyes for one thing; a hurt, ques-
tioning look that was sometimes re-
bellious as well; droop of her mouth
also when she was of her guard; a sad,
tired little droop that told OF the weight
OF responsibility and worry she was
carrying.
Ward observed both the minute he
saw her on the trail He had come
across country on the chance that she
might be riding out that way, and he
had come upon her unawares while
she and Blue were staring out over the
desert from the height they had attain
ed in the hills.
'Lo, Bill" he said when he was
quite close and held himself ready to
meet whatever mood she might pre-
sent
She turned her head quickly and
still in her eyes; the droop still show
ed at her lips. And Ward knew they
had been there before she saw him.
"Wha's molla, Bill?' he asked In the
tone that was calculated to invite an
unburdening Of her troubles.
