MOTHERS DAY
Next Sunday will be Mothers
Day. In 1905. Miss Anna Jarvais
OF Philadelphia conceived the idea
of having a National Mothers Day,
supplemental to Memorial Day. AS
a result, the second Sunday In May
each year was set aside by an act
Of Congress for Mother"
Mother! what visions OF youth
and innocence come back to US
grown-ups in memory of mothers
unselflsh love and care. In our
youth she was the first to greet US
on awakening and the last to bid
US goodnight
Mother! ecstatic sound so In
delibly woven in our memories and
twined round our hearts that they
must cease to throb ere we forget
her love and sacrifice.
Mother, our frst love to whom
our infant eyes and arms were first
uplifted; we still cling to her in
manhood; we almost worship her
in old age.
Mother, who sacrificed every
comfort for our convenience; who
surrendered every pleasure for our
enjoyment; who loved<us with such
utter devotion and enduring tender
ness.
AS the years pass, our memory
grows sweeter and the reverence
we hold for the best woman who
ever 1ived-the mother of our heart,
we pause in our pursuit for pelf to
place on her tomb a garland of
white carnations, the emblem of
purity, beauty and fidelity of Moth
er-Love.
Mothers Day this year will be of
intense significance for after all it
is the mothers of men who are max
ing the supreme sacrifice in the
struggle for freedom ard humanity.
Indeed, hers is the supreme sacri-
fee. In the room known as Moth
er's Room"-the room that changes
a dwelling place from house to
home-as she sits Il in million
homes in our landi today, looking
with blurred vision out into the
darkness, her thoughts, her pray
ers and Mother-Love are constantly
with her boy.
But, oh, her saddened heart re-
members. Across all the years it re-
Misunderstanding the baby in her
arms and feeling its soft. warm
body against hers and it's speech
less lips at her breast. Seeing the
glad-hearted boy who ran to her
with every new flower and every
hurt, and to whom the sleep or
peace was assured by the kiss that
came after the covers were tuck
ed in.
But now, the scene has changed.
Her boy has Joined the colors, may
be with her consent and approval,
even so our language ceases to ex-
press her feelings as we slip silent
lv to the door ajar of her room and
listen to her sobs that stab her
heart. She knows the bloodiest
years of all times have painted
afresh before her eyes the martyr
dom of Motherhood which war de-
mands.
It is to the mother of men-your
mother and mine-that the whole
nation next Sunday will turn In its
annual celebration of Mothers Day.
And as we wear the white carna-
ton in memory of Mother on that
day. let us remember that whatever
sacrifice in life we give, she it Is
who gives the most

SWEDEN ACCEPTS ALLIED TERMS TO
 YIELD SHIPPING
Guarantees That No Food Supplies Will Get To
 Germany.

New York, Aug. 22.--Terms of the commercial treaty recently signed by the entente allies and Sweden. and which is expected to diminish the sending of supplies to Germany, were made public here today by Axei R. Nordvall, head of the special commits sion of the Swedish government to the United States. 1t gives to the allies 4000 00O tons of deadweight shipping and 2,000,0O0 tons of saledish iron ore.
 Sweden also agrees to license the export to the allied governments of wood pulp paper, iron, stees etc, and to grant to the allies suitable credit in Sweden for the purchase of Swed- ish goods during the continuance of the present unfavorable monetary exchange.
 Bar Way to Germany. The Stockholm government. accord ing to Mr. Bordvall has given satis- factory guarantees that no goods inn
 ported to Sweden from allied coun- tries or any nations whose shipping the allies control will be exported TO any of the central powers. In exchange for these commodities. facilities and guarantees, the allies have agreed to ship to Sweden bread, cereals, coal. coke, mineral and edibles, sugars, rubbers and rubber goods, cotton and cotton goods, hides, leather and tanning material, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, copper, ferroalloys, tin, tin plate, nitrate of soda, raw phosphaates. sulphur and other goods and materials necessary for Sweden's economic life"
 Accept Allied Blockade. Signing of the pact between the allies and Sweden, Mr. Nordvall' ad
 mitted, was a virtual acceptance by
 the latter government of the allied blockade Negotiations, he said. had been carried on by representatives of
 the signatories since May, 1917, soon after the United States entered the
 war, and continued for a year. The treaty vas signed by France, England
 and the United States May 29 last. Conditions in Sweden, the envoy
 stated, were very serious, in fact no
 foodstuffs of any nature were being
 shipped out of the country because of domestic scarcity.

 In books our knowledge to date is rounded up and displayed; you may read book on 8 lump;of coal,' a grass blade, a seaworin, on, hair combs. car. pets, ships, sticks, scaling wax, cab. bages, kings: cosmetics, Kant. A very thick volume indeed was published last year upon the thorax of field cricket. It would require a learned man to catalogue the literature that deals with such comparatively trivial subjects as the history of the Punch. and-Judy show; or the history of play. ing cards.
 At the present rapid rate of accumu. 1ation the time must come when the British museum, thousands of years hence, will occupy an area as large as London, and the Encyclopedia Britan. nica be housed in a building as big as the Crystal palace; ;an accumulation of learning to: make, Aristotle and Scaliger turn pale. .::.

CLASSIC DRAMA IN JAPAN
Both chorus and Music Accompany the Pantomime of the Actors
 on the Staue.

The actors-sons of the sons of gen. erauons of actors passing on as legacy of great price to the right to act In these strange No" plays of old Japan-entered and made their ex- its by way of the bridge. . At their approach, Gertrude Emerson writes in Asia, unseen hands lifted and held back curtain of persimmon and iris colored silk thar hung at the door of the dressing room. Their costumes had wide skirtlike trousers and all the fires and conf1agrations of an autumn wood or mountain forest burned in the color of the brocades. Sometimes they had the streaming white hair of ghosts. They stamped with their white stockinged feet on the polished floor, which gave out. muffled echo. With their flowing sleeves they hid their faces, turning and swaying in rhythmic dances. With their fans they wrote the meaning of their dances in the air-'-the climbing of mountain path to a forsaken shrine, a gift of water to weary pilgrim, the picking Of herbs, the flight of bird across the sky, the falling of fowers--or of tears: The chorus sang in suppress. ed tones,. holding their breath inter. minably, explaining, now the action, now the thoughts passing through the mind of the actor. The musicians beat on: their drums and above all other sounds walled the flute, thp and trem. ulous, piercingly sad, like 8 lost soul tormented of demons,
