READY FOR THE YOKE

The readiness with which The Germans aceepted the Yer.
sailes conditions respecting the requirement That pienipoten-
tiarts ana not messengers should be sent to receive the peace
conditions is substantial and convincing evidence that the Ger
mans are re66nciled to the conclusion that they must accept any
terms that the allies may submit.
1t is not to BE Expected That the Germans Will readily agree
to the terms. or that they will fail to manifest their belief that
they are %burdeRs5ms and oppressive. In the very nature Of
things they are expected to make a defnohstfatoh 70 satisfy theif

Vt said that At no thine has theFe been any deviation from The

. WORTHY EXAMPLE

The rare examples of generosity that usually are called to
mind by the death Of some wealthy philanthtopst may well
cause one TO wonder why charity on a broad scale Is not more
generally practiced by those possessed OF more than their snare
81 this worlds goods,
The death Of Mrs, Phoeba Hearst, mother Of William Ran
doiph Hearst, the publisher, will serve to remind the public that
ihis remarkable woman gave intelligent direction to her fortune,
and that thousands have enjoyed TIA benefits, and that other
thousands for years to come will be benefited by it,
Mrs. Hearst was the chief contributor to the National Cathe-
dal school in Washington, one Of the foremost educational insti-
tutions in the capital city. Hundreds who have never been
inside the splendid institution have praised it for its beauty and
location, situated as it is on an imposing enhinenee cut ftcrn
Washington on the Chevy Chase road. Others, have thought
81 and praised the liberality Of Mrs. Hearst, as they viewed the
splendid buildings on the Berkeley hills that stand as silent test'-
rnonials 10 her interest in the University 81 California, Her gifts
10 hospitals and other institutions in New YORK are equally
generous.
The love Of money, the Scriptures say, Is the root 6f all evil,
but the love Of ones fellow man is the beginning Of charity.
What Mrs. Hearst did in a large way should serve as an exam
Die to Others blessed likewise with fortunes. Not only was she
POSSESSED OF noble and generous impulses, but the good she did
was the chief Joy Of her life.
