PEPPER TALKS.
BY George Matthew Adams.
THOUGH WRONG.

| was talking with n friend the
other day and we were discussing
the great struggle that is going on
in the world. We were waxing
strong in our belief in democracy.
And this is what my friend said
with enthusiasm: Il tell you
democracy is right, even though it
is wrongl
How significant was that state
ment. Yet how absolutely true.
II is indesputablc that right is
greater and stronger and more
durable than wrong. And, intrench-
ed more deeply than any other thing
in the world, is the principle OF
right in the hearts of people. 1t
makes no difference how intelligent
a man is, fundamentally he recog-
nizcs the right in things
And democracy Is the night that a
man inherently has to think Tor
himself. And To work and dccentiy
strive. ~ we'll as to rule.
Ii Is inevitable that the most
ideal plan should go wrong at times.
But that in no way absolvcs the
plan from being right. Right after
! ALL is but kind of evolution any
way.
And the world is very young.

THREAT TO BULGARS
Attack in Macedonia Is To DrG W
Troops From French Front.
BYJ w. T. MASON.

New York, Sept 1s.-The French,
Serbian and Greek OPERATIONS along
the Balkan front give promise of a
major offensive being conducted
against Bulgaria next spring in strate-
gic conformity with the operations
with which America and the allies will
then start against Germany in the
west.
The present movement itself in
Macedonia can scarcely have been
planned to persevere for any length
of time into the winter season, which
soon begins in the Balkans. 1t would
be hazardous, If not impossible. to
prolong an offensive during the severe
SHOWS of mountainous southeastern
Europe. A balkan offensive has al
ways been associated with the spring.
After Valuable Local Points.
The purpose of the present drive is
doubtless to secure possession of local
points of vantage from which spring
advance can successfully be under
taken. This. of course. implies the
issuance of notices to the Bulgarians
that they will be attacked next year.
There is good strategy in giving no
tice.
Germany is desperately trying to
persuade Bulgaria to send troops to
the west front to help Won Hindenburg
defend German territory. The Bull
! gars have been reluctant to agree, but
there have lately been some signs OF
wavering at Sofia. Now, however, il
would positively be dangerous for tn.
Bulgarian government to permit any
large number of troops to go to the
west front. If this were done, Bull
lGaria's own defensive position would
become weakened to an extent tina,
would give high encoura cement to the
allies to strike Sofia itself
Ferdinand After Spells.
Gar Ferdinand of Bulgaria is a tim
| Id monarch. who is out exclusively fol
| spoils. The changing conditions in the
war situation are already reported to
have sent him to health resorts where
| broken down nerves are treated The
| Bulgarian retreat along the Macedon-
ian front is certain to make Ferdinand
still more timorous and to cause him
to think of the safety of his owl
| throne before considering the plight
of the Hohenzollerns. This means the
kaiser will be unable to rely on serious
| Bulgarian military support when thu
Americans start for the Rhine.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RIrrENHoUl
Good Bye Hysteria.

It is truism that has been pointed
out so many times that one hesitates
to do it again-that tho in the small
things of life women are inclined to
hysteria, when 1t comes to the really
big things they are the best sports in
the world. There are women who will
have a nervous chill after a bridge
party because the ices were quarter
of an hour late from the caterers but
they will keep a stiff upper lip and
somehow bring the family thru .un-
scathed when they have to dispose of
their own personal fortune to keep
the Oldest son from disgrace. = Such
a woman will play the baby when hit
tie Tommy has to have his adenofds
out and never bat an eyelid when she
has to go for the operation that may
mean everything. And there are young
women who eat their hearts out over
a weeks separation from their hus-
bands who actually do keep up their
spirits when those same husbands go
off to training camp or overseas.
II you don't know that about wome n
you don't know much. And IL you do
know that, then you haven't been es-
there has been so little wartime hys-
terra since we actually got down to
brass tacks in this matter OF winning
the war. Before the war became
real issue in our lives hysteria was
usual. That was in the days when
women wore red. white and blue mil
/ linery and decked themselves out in
flags of astounding size to show their
patriotism. And in those days there
was quite bit of hysteria over SOL
diers, and people who didn't under.
stand women SO well as they might
have, predicted that this hysteria over
the men in uniform would continue.
Well, of course, there are some few
cases of 1t still but, according to one
| of the people active in the Commission
| on Training Camp Activities. that sort
| of thing is rare enough now.
! Among the hundreds of Thousands
| of cases of personal service rendered,
naturally enough there have been
cases of sentimentalizing over the
men, says this observer. Showering
them with unnecessary luxuries, god
| mothering' and "sistering'' them and
adopting them have all been officially
| discoure ged in every way possible.
| Fussing over the men is not the idea
! at all. and it is getting to be almost
unheard of.

GOT SAD NEWS HERE
Mrs. Stephen Baker of N. Y. Notified
of Sons Death in France

Western Union office to send a mes
sage, she was given two kilograms, one

death of her son, and the other from
her husband, giving some of the de-
tails of the tragedy. Captain Baker
was wounded by a shell but recovered
and went into action again and was
again wounded. The last time he was
shot thru the body, but his recovery
was expected. After being taken to
the hospital. he was given his COM
mission as captain. Captain Baker
was a Princeton man.
Mrs. Baker was taken to the train
by Topeka woman. who attended

HE LEFT SHIRT BEHIND
German Major Fled in Undcrshirt
When Americans Closed In.

With the American Army on the
Lorraine front, Sept. 1S.-A German
major quartered on a farm near Viii
lecy fled in undershirt, breeches and
shoes before our advance late last
Sunday. The major had removed his
coat and shirt because he was heated
from drinking wine. He was starting
to write a letter to his brother when
we began closing in. We captured a
number of prisoners who reported the
commanders flight.
The Americans entering a dugout,
found the majors coat, with the Iron
cross affixed to it, and his helmet as
well as a half emptied glass of wine.
The place was adorned with pictures
of Hindenburg and the kaiser.

Y. NJ. C. A. has won its place in the
hearts of the American soldiers and an
instance of the service rendered by
these workers is given in story told
of the recent fighting.
On the morning of the American

Y. NJ. c. A. man appeared. among
the soldiers carrying a huge pack on
his back. He did not explain his
presence except by a whispered wora
to a company commander who nodded
approval.
When the order to advance came he
moved forward with the men. At the
first pause while the soldiers sheltered
behind little rise of ground the Y
NJ c. A. man made his way from
soldier to soldier giving each cake
of chocolate and bunch of cigarets-
When his pack was exhausted he re-
turned to the rear but reappeared in
a few hours with another bundle. He

The cfiemise frock is entirely fash
ionable. With the st.aight silhouette
that maintains its dignity and prestige
this type of frock is inevitable. Its
only substitute is the draped skirt
which sweeps the ankles and is ae-

and exclusive womel.
The prophets still believe that the
klong skirt will rule for the afternoon
and evening. There has been little
disposition to lengthen the skirts of
tailored suits. and Paris has made
