GERMANS BITTER
ON PEACE TERMS
inclined, However, to Accept
Their Fate, Americans
Learn
By Associated Ercss.


Coblcnz, May 13.-The Impression
gained by American officers through
talking with Germans regarding the
peace terms is that many of them
are bitter and sullen, but are in
clined to resign themselves to accept
any terms, no matter how harsh
they may be. No concrete plan of
action has ben suggested in the
event the German delegates at YER
sailles refuse to sign the treaty.
American officers say the COM
mon people in the occupied area
have widely divergent views, but
that, as a whole, they appear more
or less stunned. Many of them seem
crushed. but others are showing a
spirit of bravado. Several German
officials are quoted as having said
that the terms are more severe than
they had expected, but although it
would be necessary for the German
delegates to argue against some of
the conditions imposed, they felt
there was little else to do but sign.

Tho Southern Notes.

Southern Railway directors. it is un-
dsrstood. are not at all Nire that they
have made a good bargain In selling
their notes TO tho Chicago syndicate at

was 81 for all the notes by the Morgan
syndicate. When the trade was first
made through the assistance of John
Shelton Williams. who is reported TO
have asserted that future railroad
financing shall not be permitted TO CEN
tire IN New York. the directors thought
they We're to get aS for all tho notes.
But the Chicago syndicate understood
that IT was 20 get one quarter OF per
cent. for necessary expenses. and finally
price of 97% was agreed upon. Then
it developed that the Chicago syndicate

on the other it is possible that half of
the financing will consist of an advance

own as soon az peace is declared.

Air Brakes Position.

New York Air Brakes drop from a
high OF 10b last month to a level approx
imating 30 has been accompanied by
rumors to the effect that tho company
would have TO cut its dividend from the
$40 annual basis. The rumors are said
by interests close TO the company TO be
unfounded. The assertion Is made that
the 1918 dividends were paid out of the
profits of 1917 and that the 1919 divi-
bends will be paid out of the 1913 profits.
The annual report for 1918 has not been
completed. but II Ia learned that the
earnings have been large enough to per-
NIT the continuance Of the IS quarterly
dividend. 1t Is said that the company
did the largest airbrake business in Its
history in 1918 and that It's war business
will not be wound UP before the end OF
this month. krhe present number of en-
ployees IL about $500, and by March l
that number will be reduced TO the

GOSSIP OF WALL STREEr.
Professional Selling.

The selling under which the general
market sold .Vtf during the early part OF
the trading yesterday was characterized
again in speculative circles as highly
professional and rather unimportant.
An evidence of this was seen In the
elasticity of the standard list In the last
hour and the failure of such specialties
as Mexican Petroleum to- sustain their
hesvlness for any length of time. Ac-
cording to the story that is heard most
in Wall Street circles a great deal OF
the recent selling pressure has come
from a professional group who make
their headquarters in an uptown hotel
and who seem to be determined on
squeezing the last dollar that 10 to be

Unrolling Imagination's
Scroll Gives the True
Endowment.

A New England school teacher
wrote to Henri Lerolle in France, in
behalf OF her class, to know what
hour. OF the day was to be under
stood in his painting, "The shep-
herdess," and Lerolle replied by an
early mail, earnestly and simply,
Look at the picture" This is in
principle the answer to all such
questions. Perhaps the most char
ascteristic purpose served by art in
human life is that of stimulating
the imagination. The first stage of
this imaginative activity usually
seems to take the form Of a more
or less delicate curiosity-.what the
poet might have called "a sweet
unrest Now, five insist on having
this curiosity explained away for
us the moment it makes itself felt,
are we not nipping our whole i'm
aglnatlve experience in the bud?
Are we not, in other words, COM
pletely missing the point for which
the picture was painted, just at the
moment we expected to grasp it?
For it is the unrolling of the
imagination's scroll and not what is
written upon it that gives US our
real enjoyment of art works. 1t is
rot the telling which makes a tale?
We know that we can learn "how
things were settled by seeing the
fifth act of the play. but do we not
like to see the other four acts
(Which are there to stimulate the
sweet unrest") as we'll? What Is
written on the scroll marks our
objective, but in itself it is stored
and CONCEALED; while the unrolling
of the scroll is an adventure with
a living mind, which leaps from
pinnacle to pinnacle of flaming ex-
perience.

Women Live Longer
Than Men

1 Sea serpents being out of date,
and wild men, somewhat exhaust
ed of interest, there comes the re-
cent story of Kentucky man who
celebrated the l3lst anniversary of
his birth by taking his first motor
car ride.
When a report of this sort is in
vestigated it usually is found to lack
proof.
Some years ago, at meeting of
the Actuarial Society of America, its
president, John K. Gore, said: "The
we'll known cases of individuals
commonly believed to have lived a
century and a quarter, and even
much longer, have not in any in
stance been verified"
There is usually temptation to ex-
aggerate the age of extremely old
persons; often they do it themselves.
says the Kansas City Star. Not
very long ago a man in England, in
terested in the study of human
longevity, offered $4,000 to any man
or woman living at the time who
could prove that he or she was 100
years old or more. There were
hundreds of claimants, but in no
case was irrefragable proof submit
ted.
In point of longevity, women are
far ahead of men, generally speak
ing. They are more resistant to
diseases and they live longer. And
yet women are called the weaker
SEX So they are, muscularly, but
it is manifest that they are the
stronger sex constitutionally. They
possess what biologists term greater
"viability"-a superior ability to sur
vive.

The whites of eggs stiffiy beaten

be used in a custard sauce to serve
with it or in cake to go with it.
Another change to vary gelatine is
to serve this dessert with either
fresh or canned fruit as a sauce.
Grape juice, pineapple or orange
juice also makes a good sauce.
