Another allied army is reported to
be marching into Russia by way OF the
Ukraine. The reign of the Bolsheviki
should be of short duration. The job
of rehabilitating Russia and giving her
resi- ctable place among nations once
more may not prove so long and diff
ficult as has hitherto been expected.
Doubtless the masses of the Russian
people are ready for the establishment
of peace and order on a firm basis and
will welcome the advent of the forces
of law and liberty. The Bolshevik
dream in Europe seems destined to go
the way of that of the 1. w. w. in
America. The world is not yet ready
for anarchy, and probably never will
be. The result of the great war shows
that the tendency of world thought is
forward, not backward. Perhaps 1t
will never again be necessary to teach
the lesson that the rule of might is
obsolete 1t may be practiced on a
willing people like the Huns or an un-
willing people like the Slavs. for a
time, but sooner or later it must give
way to modern ideas of freedom and
progress.

HOW CAN GERMANY PAY?

1t often has been said that a nation
could not make war without the Jews,
meaning, of course, the men who hold
the money. If the consent of the
moneyed men must be had before a
war can be launched, it follows that
these same men can bring about peace
when they will. Apparently this is
what would have happened fne Ger
many. even IL she had not been SO
thoroly whipped in the field.
All reports from Europe agree that
Germany's present financial position
is desperate. Money, bullion, banking
notes and the smaller coins which
have been current in the German
empire. had all but vanished from
circulation since the allied armies in
augurated their successful push
towards the frontier. A state of panic
developed which brought along with II
boarding and the hiding of gold, silver
and bank notes. To tide over this
situation the banks of Germany issued
paper currency in enormous
amounts. Just what that paper cur

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
When Romance Dies.-2.


Such nonsense! OF course nobody is
Economically in love after three years
of marriage. OF course no man is
cooling to a woman after she has lived
with him for three years any more
than she is an angel to him. OF course
after three years all of the illusions
that any husband and wife may have
originally entertained about each 9TH
er are dissipated into thin air. or
course You can't go on forever asking
anybody loose ducky daddle is oo?"
By that time husbands and wives
have seen each other unshaven and
unshorn, and in curl papers and wrap
pers. They have seen each other when
they were sick and cross and worried.
They have discovered each others
tempers and nerves. weaknesses and
faults, and they have come down from
the temples of romance to the plain
work-a-day world where we all really
live.
Men are SO busy with their work
that they make this transition from
sentiment to sense without much dam
ger, but it is a heart breaking descent
to a woman who's has only TOO much
time to count her heart beats, and
take the temperature of her affections.
In the reaction that comes when
she discovers that she doesn't feel
towards her husband just exactly as
she felt towards her sweetheart. she
| is very apt to conclude that she does
not love him and that she has made a
mistake in marrying him. She is not
wise enough to know that her love has
merely entered upon another phase,
and that she really cares more for the
| man than before she married him,
| only she cares differently.
No one can go on perpetually thrill
ing over another person any more
than they could live on horS d'oeuvreS.
! A months diet would sicken one be-
yond endurance. It's only plain, SUBJ
| stant;al roast beef and potatoes upon
| which we can make our daily diet and
| keep our health. And it is only the
| calm, steadfast affection that has nei-
| Their romance nor thrills to it which
| can bring us lasting happiness.
The perfect flower of domestic love
is friendship. When husband and
Wife are chums; when they are inter-
ested in the same things, and striving
| together for the same end, when they
trust each other. and when each is APP
preciatfve of what the other does does
for him or her, they can snap their
fingers at romance.
They have between them the bond
as the years go by. Neither age. nor
fat, nor loss of beauty, shall weaken
| their attraction for each other, nor
shall sirens prevail against it.
| When a man has got in his wife a
friend who is loyal and faithful and
understanding and when a woman has
got in her husband a friend whose
| hand IS always in her hand, and to
whom she can tell every thought of
her soul, secure of sympathy and COM
prehension, they have got something
that is SO much better than their calf
love that it is not to be mentioned in
the same connection. They have got
the warm garment of love itself in
stead of a f1uttering rag Of romance.
And the pity of this is that SO many
women do not find it out until it is
too late.

In old times it was customary for
the conqueror, on his return home, to
give a parade with the principal VIC
Tins of his success chained to his
chariot. The surrender of her navy
can hardly be less humiliating to Ger
many than would have been Foch's
entry into Paris with the kaiser tied to
the rear of the marshars automobile.
The world has grown so accustomed to
big events that it can scarcely appreci-
ate the magnitude and importance of
the reimbursement of twenty miles of
warships by a once great and power
full nation. 1t represents loss which
1t would take a generation to repair,
under ordinary conditions, and one
which. in Germany's present deplor-
able condition, is wholly irreparable
1t is safe to say that the world is
secure from Hun ambition for fifty
years, and in that length of time her
lesson may have been assimilated
even IL it has not already done so.

THE WHIPPED BULLY.

Some one has we'll said that the Hun
is a beast in victory and a poltroon in
defeat. Probably no nation in the
history of the world has put UP SO
long and loud a howl for mercy as
Germany has done since November II.
She is inviting the contempt of the
world.
If the hard penalty>of their crimes
be now as much upon the German
people as upon the n tary leaders,
the German people must blame them
selves. for they aided. abetted and
lauded the work of the now hurliliated
and overthrow n autocracy. They
praised the crimes which that au-
tocracy committed, and to that extent
they served the purposes of that au-
tocracy.
JoyfulIy they entered into their
plans for the most vicious. the most

1914: they celebrated the most
dastardly crimes ever perpetrated
among others the sinking of the Lusi-
tania; they profited by wholesale loot
in invaded countries, they rang bells
and footed horns whenever the mill
| taristic bully crushed a weak nation
as witnessed in Serbia, Montenegro
Rumania and even in Russia after that
unfortunate country. torn by revolu-
| ton and brazenly sold out. had been
rendered helpless and impotent to re-
sist.
Now the drastic and harsh terms OF
the armistice have drawn out the
fangs of the vicious reptile; they
make it impossible for the criminal
! aggressor to renew the conflict even
If he wished. They lay the founda-
ton for what will prove. it Is hoped
a future long enduring peace. After

of unrelenting frightfulness executed

reckoning, the day of settlement, has
come.

Every man. says the Thrift Maya
zine, should strive to live at least 10C
years and die all hitched up in work
ing harness. Many a man feels that
he would like to retire at about 60 and
spend the rest OF his years with moth
ing to do but lead a gold headed
cane around by the hand. 1t is thrifty
to stay on the job just as long as pos
sible. Every man should make the
century plant his favorite flower and

1 do not have as many clothes as she
does, but she is always borrowing
something of mine and returning 1t
soiled or ruined. Both of us work and
she has as much money as I have to
spend My parents always take her
part and say I should be willing to

| think l am selfish and want them all
( for myself. Do you think she has any
right to wear my things, such as white
kid gloves and clean waists which I
/ have ironed myself?
No. Your sister should not wear
your clothes. Since she has as much
money to do with as you. she should
| either keep her own clothes or go

Help your sister all you can and
make her think you are really inter-
ested in her. II there is a bond of
sympathy between you, you will get
along better together.
