Good Clothes and Good Girls

Every earnest uplifter has, or should
have, some moral patent medicine war
ranted to cure all ills. One of these now
puts forth the theory that there is an
intimate connection between morals and
clothes. 1t is not a new theory in es-
sence; the outward sign often accom-
panies the inward grace. But the Lady
from Philadelphia-a descendant, surely,
OF her who graced the Peterkin stories
With such stores Of practical wisdom-is
convinced that if girl is we'll dressed
she will not go wrong. "There's q ccr-
tain self-respect," she says, "that goes
with dainty garments" AS logical
corollary she admits that love of such
garments may be a potent cause of go
ing wrong. But her argument seems to
travel in a circle when she adds: "Most
poor girls are good" We do not dispute
the conclusion, though we may fail to
follow the method of arriving at it. If
virtue and dainty garments are so nearly
lnseparable, and if most poor girls do
not have dainty garments, then their
goodness has SAVIOR of the miraculous,
@. E. D.
1t needs no uplifter, of course, to tell
US that morality is only in part the
creature of environment, that in every
class outside those that are confessedly
criminal the proportion of good to bad
remains fairly constant quantity. We
cannot accept the statement that "most
poor girls are good" as just implica-
ton that most rich girls are not
Hearts just as pure and fair
May beat in Belgrave Square
AS in the lowly air
Of Seven Dials."
There is no occasion to ''trcat with
vlrtuous scorn the we'll connected" Nor
need the relation between clothes and
morality be complicated thus by class
distinctions. 1t is, indeed, an old theory
that CLOTHES make the man"-expressed
in proverbs in nearly every tongue. And
if one looks the part one is naturally
tempted to play it. But we feel somehow
that woman's dress, at least, is too subtle
thing to be dealt with categorically.
1t is almost too simple solution of the
painful riddle of the world to say that
II girl is only well dressed we need
not worry about her moral welfare.
That is pretty short cut to perfection
even for an uplifter.

A Night-P Piece

From The Nc,o statesman
COME out and walk. The last few drop,
~ of light
Drain silently out of the cloudy blue;
The trees are full of the dark -stoopinr
night,
The fields are wet with dew
All's quiet in the wood, but far away.
Down the hillside and out across the plain.
Moves, with long trail of white that marks
it's way,
The softly painting train.
Come through the clearing Hardly now
we see
The flowers, save dark or light against tho
grass,
Or glimmering silver on a scented tire.
That trembes as we pass.
Hark now! So far, SO far that dis
Move not the rustlng grasses with vour
feet.
Inc dusk is'full of sounds, that all along
The muttering boughs repeat.
SO far, so faint, we lift our heads in doubt
Wind, or the blood that beats within our
ears,
Has feigned dubious and delusive note
Such as dreamer hears.
Again again. The faint sounds
rise and fall
SO far the enchanted tree. the sono 80
drowsy thrush? A waking nightingale?
Silence. We do not know.

New-York tribune., 1918-07-28

forbade the Western powers from perpe-
trating an act of treachery not unlike that
contemplated by the Czarist government
on the eve of its overthrow. They realize
what some Of our sentimentalists still seem
unable to grasp-that though it is histori-
cally true that we only entered the war
to save Belgium and France, subsequent
events have produced a situation in which
the fate of Austria Hungary, Russia and
the Balkans are no less vital matters for
the future peace and security of Europe
and the world at large. There is nothing
inconsistent in the triple assumption that
Charles was very much in earnest, that
those who inspired him (for the letter bears
all the traces of having been composed with
the help of practised dplomatist) were
aiming above all at producing discord in
the Allied rank, and that the whole project
was from the very first moment foredoomed
to failure.
There is something delightfully."- humorous
in the charges of forgery levelled against
NJ. Clemenceau and the French government
by Austrian official circles. Foremost in
its support of this thesis is the clerical
"Reichspost," whose editor, DR.. Funder, as
joint defendant in the notorious Friedjung
trial in 1900, was proved to have accepted
wholesale from the Austro- Hungarian For
eign Office the forged documents" which
were to provide excuse for overrunning
Serbia and crushing Jugo-Slav nationalism
inside the monarchy itself
New-York tribune., 1918-07-28
The Hapsburg
Principle

The proposal with regard to Serbia is
mlder in tone than any previous Austrian
reference, but to every Serb it is the
equivalent of the final renunciation of his
national aspirations and Charles cannot
have been 50 simple as not to realize that
for the Entente to have accepted such
basis for discussion would have been re-
garded by Serbia as a cruel betrayal. and
might thus prepare the way for direct
negotiations between Vienna and Corfu.
But the key to the whole document, as the
"Corriere della Sera" and other leading
organs of Italian opinion have not been
slow to recognize, was its absolute silence
with regard to Italy. Applying to foreign
policy that principle of divide ct Impera"
on which Hapsburg rule has rested for CEN
: turies past, Charles virtually offered to be-
tray Germany if France in her turn aban-
doned Italy.
Hence the heads of the British, French
and Italian governments, who are Known to
have given the overture very careful con-
sideration and who presumably also con-
suited President Wilson (then on the very
point of intervening in the war;, we're
absolutely right in concluding that it
offered no basis for serious negotiation.
For even on the assumption-an assump-
tion which we have more than once shown
to be entirely falacious-that Austria
Hungary was in a position to break away
from her masterful partner, it was even at
that date obvious that the most which the
Western powers could hope to obtain was
to!erable settlement on the Western front
and outside Europe at the expense of. their
allies in Eastern and Southeastern Europe
Fortunately, honor and interest alike
New-York tribune., 1918-07-28
A Waste
of iime

The action of NJ. Clemenceau rerrosan.s
complete breach with the whole of this
o"'ss underworld, and will probably in
voive revision of tactics on the part Of
.ne heverteras and Montlongs Even the
INK which Charles had established with
washington through Professor Lammasch
and the coffee king, Herr Meinl, would
seem to have been abruptly severed. But.
pending the next batch of revelations, il
oehooves the Allied governments to aban-
oon unpromising coquetting with BANKRUPT
Austria They and their peoples must
realize that only defeat can release the
Hapsburg monarchy from its present
vassalage to Berlin, and that it is mere
waste OF time to deal with the valet be-
hind his masters back.

The grand dukes of Russia have al
ways been about as grand as anything
there was. But as ex-grand dukes they
sound shade grander than ever. It is
not popular title in Russia just now
grand duke in Russia seems about as
safe as landlord in Ireland. But after
things quiet down into peaceful demo-
cratic simplicity, who knows what NAV
happen? "Ex-grand duke or just eek"
for short, many become as common as
colonel or "doc" in our own democratic
states, where titles, like everything else,
are free and equal.

cad" Men! Uneeda Try This, Too

We commend to business men gen.
orally, and especially our large advertis-
ers and their advertising writer's, the re-
markably fine and clever bit of advertis-
ing which now appears in the subway
cars and doubtless over all the country.
1t runs:
UNEEDA Thrift Stamp!
UNEEDA War Savings Stamp!
UNEEDA Clear Conscience!
BUY! BUY! BUY!
National Biscuit Company.
P. S. Uneeda Biscutl
We regret that we cannot produce the
original and highly appropriate colors-
red, white and blue. Consider with what
extreme ingenuity this "ad" has been
written. A more effective placard for
the Uneeda Biscuit could hardly have
been devised. Literally hundreds will
read this advertisement and remark upon
1t and its cleverness as compared with
one person who would read an ordinary
lad" At the same time the National
Biscuit Company has given a real and
substantial boost to the war savings
campaign.
We wish that all our advertisers could
be moved by this little stroke of genius
to try to do likewise. 1t seems to us
model of the kind of thing that our ad-
vertisers might do. The National Biscuit
Company is quite right in assuming that
we all need biscuit. We need heaps of
other things, and we are sure that those
advertisers who can as skilfully combine
deft publicity and real patriotism will
find generous profit thereby.

The Weaver of Dreams

(FrOm The NetO WttncSS)
WHEN have bundled the world away
w And live in the light of my own
wild will,
III house my heart in bend Of the road
That ambles over the heathery hill,
A nook all checkered by friendly trees,
Poplars for choice, for none can play
With love-lorn wind so pensively.
There will be brook with grading song
To its infant pebbles the whole day long,
And lakelet (willows along the brink)
Wherein the stars at night shall drink.
In the loom of my heart at the bend Of the
road
Ill weave a garment to my mind
Out Of the colored nights and days,
The greens and dusks Of the forest ways,
The hush of the dawn, the sob of the
wind
The ceaseless chatter of the trees,
The dreams Of the lake when the stars are
drowned
In its passionless waters that make no
sound,
The sudden fight of invisible wings
And all the ineffable vanishngs
Of hollow and hill and earth and sky,
Caught from Beauty's flying hair.
With these in the loom of my heart I'll
weave
garment meet for a queen to wear
And may be Beauty herself will leave
Her dim, empyreal throne to stay
In my house of dreams at the bend of the
road,
When l have bundled the world away.

A Week of Verse
Coney Island to Her Children

(From The PuOdn)
CHILDREN, children who arc mine
~ Only for day,
Who's to blame, if you are tired
And don't know how to play?.
Seven days to every week,
And six to work all day,
Dance and kiss and flirt and swim
And don't care what they say.
Six long days to fight for bread,
(The earth's not for the meek)
I will give you thrills enough
To last the weary week.
Ride upon the steeplechase,
And loll upon the sand;
Take what pleasure you can find
And will understand.
Children, children who are mine
Only for day;
Who's to blame, if you are tired,
And don't know how to play?

so long as men walked upon earth
Shall we now be robbed Of this conso-

Trotzky Declares
Czernin Was Only
Parley Messenger
Bolshevik Says Austrian Got
Orders From Won KueEll-
mann; Did Not Advance
Self-Determination Plea

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Leon Trotzky,
the Russian Bolshevik Minister of War
and Marine, has made a statement re-
garding the recent efforts Of Count
CZernin, former Austro Hungarian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, to excuse
himself for the part he played in the
negotiation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
Count Czernin,' says Trotzky, Gin
sists now very strongly upon a differ
ence between the policy of DR.. Richard
Won Kuehlmann (former German For
elgn Secretary and his own. We have
actually noticed between them some
difference, but this difference was due
simply to the fact that Won Kuehlmann
commanded and Czernin obeyed 1t
would be still more correct to say that
General Hoffman, Zone of the German
delegates to Brest-Litovsk) gave orders
to Won kuehlmann and that Won Kuehl-
mann conveyed them to Czernin.
"CZernln now discloses that it was
has conviction that it was necessary
that Poland, Lithuania and Courland

ure government. In the Brest-Litovsk
negotiations Czernin did not in any
way display this conviction When
General Hoffman, wanted to express
IL especially cynical form contempt of
the victors for the right of self-de-
termination of peoples, Won Kuehlmann
charged Czernin with this task and
Czernin carried it out.
GAS to the special pacific PROPOSE
tions, supposed to have been made By
Czernin and TO have miscarried owing
to my opposition, no propositions dif
fering from those of Won Kuehlmanr
were made by Czernin, either durn@
the official sessions of the conferences
CT during the few conversations which
he had with me. Shorthand reports O.
the Brest-Litovsk negotiations will b.
published soon.
Moreover, acts have more value
than words. Austro- Hungarian troops
in manner similar to the German
troops, invaded the Ukraine and op-
pressed the people. 1t is true they now

EckI1ardt Recalled
From Mexico City
On Hint From u. s.
German Minister Maintains
Silence Regarding Recall,
Although Notified Over
Five Weeks Ago, 1t Is Said

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-An indi-
rect warning from the American gov
ernment was responsible for the deci-
sion of the German authorities to
dispense with the services of the no.
torious Minister Won Eckhardt at
Mexico City.
1t was learned officially to-day that
a hint was transmitted to Berlin re-
Gently that it was difficult to reconcile
Eckhardt's continued anti-American
and anti-Ally propaganda with the
new German governments protesta-
tions of regard for the United States
and repeated appeals for food supplies.
Evidence of Eckhardt's influence in
the Maxican capital was seen to-day in
a report from Ambassador Fletcher
that Gel Pueblo,' a government or
gan, had published a denial Of the
minister's recall.
The State Department has been
advised of the recall although evident
ly there has been no official announce
ment of it at Mexico City. Ambassa-
dor Fletcher said the newspapers there
other than GEL Pueblo" were saying
Eckhardts mission had ended, though
he had not decided as to leaving the
country.
1t is understood that the German
government also has issued orders
for the discontinuance generally of
antiAmerican propaganda ir Mexico.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Mexico City Saturday announced the
recall of Eckhardt, disclosing that the
minister at last had Informed the
Mexican Foreign Office, although until
additional orders were received he ap-
parently had been keeping to himself
the notice he had received from Ber-
lin more than five weeks ago through
the Mexican Ambassador at Washing
ton.
Ambassador Bonila left Washing
ton for Mexico City several weeks ago.
1t was explained at the time that he
was taking a trip that had been ar
ranged long in advance.
