ras and Craonne is now a scene Of
tragic desolation-a scene most APP
palling in the harvest of German dead
and wounded that have been gathered
by the defensive guns of the Allies.
The destroyed towns and temples, the
torn and gashed fields, may be re-
stored in time, but the dead and dying
citizens of Germany can never be re-
stored. The Imperial Maniac and his
War Lords, in their mad desire for
world domination, are frightfully
mutilating and bleeding to exhaustion
the German nation in their frantic as
saults upon the strongholds of human
liberty. These strongholds, however,
will never be taken. They are the
deep laid foundations upon which man
has labored towards human freedom.
They are invincible. Germany's leg
ions are vainly dashing their lives out
against the impregnable rock, the
rock of Liberty. It is only a question
of brief time, when our cause OF
Freedom, of Liberty, and Of Human
ity will be again victorious against
the savage attacks of Autocracy.

Thousands of years ago-long before the
great western nations Of today, long before
even Greek and Roman were heard Of
there were more or less advanced civiliza-
tions on both sides Of the Pacific. China,
for example, had grown into a stable Mon
golian kingdom perhaps 1000 years before
the beginning of our era. A Chinese author
writes: "There is no existing nation in the
world that has larger past than China.
She has seen the rise and fall of the ancient
Egyptian dynasties; the extension of the
Persian empire; the conquests of Alexander;
the irresistible advance Of the Roman legions;
the deluge of the Teutonic hordes from the
north,- and the birth Of all the nations of
modern Europe"
The Japanese also, a people compounded
of various elements but chiefly Mongolian
and Malayan, stood at the beginning of our
era on high plane Of civilization, and even
then exhibited the tendencies and the adapt
iveness which distinguish them today.
Then away to the east in Central and
South America, civilizations waxed and
waned reaching their highest development
in the Aztec and Incan empires, the latter
of which was an extremely interesting ex-
ample of despotic socialism.

"HOUSES ROOTED WITH GOLD"

Houses rooted with gold," of which
Marco Polo wrote from rumor, were not
mythical. On first arriving in Japan I
made journey to Otoko Yama, in central
Japan, January 81, 1871, to test the story
For centuries gold had little more value
in Japan than in South America when Bal
boa sought the Pacific. Even until 1859
gold was worth only four times as much as
silver I found at the Shinto temple, erected
$50 A. D., a gilded rain conduit which once
encircled the whole of the caves Of the roof,
but after the long wars only 80 feet or so
was left.
Even at the Vienna exposition the solid
gold plates on the dolphin from the Nakoya
castle attracted attention. It is historically
true that in early Japan there were roofs
of gold-W. E. Griffths in New York Tri-

Mr.. Average Man is firmly convinced that
the women spend the money and that lot
of it goes for their dressing Well, here are
some facts on the matter: The Bureau fo
Labor Statistics in Secretary Wilson's De-
partment of Labor has been studying the
yearly cost of clothing for hundred rep
resentative families in the New York City
shipbuiding district. The average income
involved was $3.50 per year. They found
it cost $7317 to dress papa, $5204 to dress
mamma; big brothers. clothes came to
$7O.41; big sisters to $62.13 the kids in
school ran from $37.S1 to $40.46 for the
boys, $33.07 to 1886 for the girls; boys
under six had to have about $32.30 worth
of clothes for the year, and male babies
1910; the little girls cost $29.60 to dress,
and the female babies $780, and it is in
this last class that the women, for the first
and only time in their lives, are more sar
torially expensive than the men!

The wife of a professional man had ad-
vertised for a girl to do the housework, and
was showing an applicant over the house.
She had been very liberal in her promises
Of privileges and it looked as though the
two were about to come to an agreement,
when the girl suddenly asked: ''Do you do
your own stretchin'? ?"
EDO we do our own what?" asked the
puzzled mistress.
Stretchin',' repeated the girl solemnly
EDO you put all the food on the table at
dinner and stretch for it, or do I have to
shuttle it rOund?''

Sojourner Truth Club is the name Of a
new organization that promises to be one
of extensive usefulness in the very near fu-
ture The prime motive of the organizers
of the club is to build home for colored
women and girls not by any means a
charitable home, but a home in fact where
women out Of employment and girls with
out the protection Of mothers get home
like accommodations and greatest Of all
motherly advice from kind hearted women.
Each one will be expected to pay a rental
for the quarters and accommodations she
receives commensurate with her earnings.

That to our mind was magnificent article,
concerning the colored soldiers, which ap-
peared in the last issue Of Cayton's Weekly
and came dangerously close to completely
absorbing the paper. It's very rarely that
a white man will write concerning the col
ored folks with such degree Of fairness
and still more rare that a paper with the
circulation Of the Metropolitan will print
such an article when submitted and for
that reason we unhesitatingy sidetracked
everything else to give it the right Of way.
The shortcomings of the colored man were
brought out and the excuses therefor fully
depicted Would to God there were more
such writer's and fewer such skl1nks as Irwin
