Unconditional surrender by Ger
many should not serve to prevent the
triumphal march of the allied armies
into Berlin. Germany is tremendous
ly afraid of seeing the allied armies
cross its sacred borders. The German
soldiers do not want to let the Ger
mans see what war means, for they
want to save their own people from
the horrors which they deliberately
inflicted upon Belgium and France.
Eut the allied armies should push for
ward to Berlin regardless of any offel
Of peace or unconditional surrender
that Germany may make. Not until
the flags of America and our allies
float in triumph over the capital Of
this nation of assassins. not until the
flags fly in triumph over the homes
of the whole Potsdam gang, will Ger
many quite realize that it has been
beaten to the dust by the forces of
right against its forces of evil. The
civilization of the future demands that
there shall be no hating in the march
to Berlin. Even tho Germany, beaten
to the dust, should offer unconditional
surrender and plead that its people be
spared the humiliation of seeing the
allied armies march millions strong
across the Rhine and to Berlin, we
would be false to the future If we
needed their pleas. Justice demands
that Germany must. in sackcIoth and
ashes and in deep humiliation, see for
itself the triumphant march of the VIC
torious armies of America and the al
lies. This is due to all civilization.
1t is due to the heroic men who have
struggled in the great fight to save
the world from German domination.
1t would be an act OF ,unspeakable in
justice to the soldiers of America and
the allies II they were denied the privi-
lege of entering Germany.

Expectation from the United States
of 100000 pairs of stockings made
from artificial silk in the fiscal year
just ended illustrates the growth in
this country of the comparatively new
industry of production of artificial
silk from wood pulp. A compilation
by the National City bank of New
York shows that the United States has
now become one of the leading world
producers OF artificial silk, and that
from being a large importer of this
product we have become very con-
siderable exporter. Artificial silk, ac-
cording to the banks statement. is
manufactured from cellulose produced
from wood pulp thru the action of GER
tain chemicals by which the wood pulp
is turned into a substitute almost ex>
actly identical with that carried in the
body of the silk worm from which he
spins his cocoon which man trans
forms into silk threads. This artifi-
cial cellulose, practically identical
with that of the silk worm, is turned
into silk threads by being pressed thru
minute openings in metal plates, fall
ing into a liquid which solidifies the
thread. While the textiles thus made
from the artificial fiber are not yet
fully equal to those produced from the
natural silk. the growing use of the
artificial silk is illustrated by the fact
that our imports of artificial silk
chiefly in the form of yarns or threads
have aggregated about $30,0o0,OOO in
the last decade.

in Mesopotamia and Syria are being
hustled in the direction of Constan-
tinople. And all this is going on at
the same time. On none of these
fronts does a reverse seem possible.
At no point does it seem probable that
the enemy can make a protracted
stand. Can any one doubt that peace
is near. even tho an early winter may
prolong the struggle until spring?

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Trftsr.
Her Husbands Friends.-1.

L
Why the average woman is OBJ
sessed by an ineradicable jealousy of
every one her husband ever knew be-
fore he met her is one of the mysteries
of feminine psychology that no one can
solve.
1t is merely so. Mrs. Bride is filled
with a deep, dark suspicion of all of
her husbands old pals of his own sex
and nothing can convince her that
they are not trying to entice him away
and lead him into the downward path,
no matter what moral, sober, upright
citizens they may be.
And when it comes to his women
friends she is beyond argument. They
may be old enough to be his mother.
They may be as discreet as Caesar S
wife. They may be infatuated with
their own husbands Nothing will per-
suade the young wife that they are
rot sirens who are in love with her
husband, and have designs upon him.
You needn't tell her how noble. kin
and good they are. She knows them.
Therefore, Mrs. Newlywed consid-
ers it her first duty to separate her
husband from-the baneful influences
of his past. and she proceeds to do it
with a thoroness and frightfulness
! that takes the poor mans breath away
happened to him. and why the people
| who have loved him for so long sud
| denly seem to love him no more.
Sometimes the young wife is such a
| clumsy bungler and her methods are
so raw that ne catches her in the act
of driving away the faithful friends
| who have been attached to him for
years and years. Then there are pro-
| testations, and hot arguments. and
tears and general ructions. but 1t is
one of the cases where the woman al
| ways wins out, because friendship can
not thrive under forced conditions.
! Generally, however, L young wife
| rids herself effectively Of all her hus-
| bands former acquaintance by the
simple process of freezing them out.
Few people have an appetite for cold
shoulder. and that forms the piece de
| resistance that most brides serve to
husbands old friends when he invites
| them to dinner There are limits even
to the sacrifices that friendship feels
called upon to make, and one CHASTITY
cold storage evening at Freds, or
| Toms, is all that his old chums can
stand They depart never to return.
| OF course there are some exceptions
to this rule. Here and there you will
find woman who is big and broad
enough to realize that her husband
| did not live in solitary confinement in
a dungeon cell up to the time he mar
ried her. She appreciates that he
knew many other men and women.
among whom he formed friendships
and attachments that are dear to him.
and that there is no reason for hts
giving them up because he has mar
ried. So she takes these people into
her life and loves them because her
husband loves them. and is grateful
to them because they were good to
him. ~
