Thought Too Much of Both.

On a road in Belgium a German
officer met a BOY leading a jackass
and addressed him in a heavy fash
ion as follows:
That's a fine jackass you have,
my son. What do you call it? AL
bert, I bet"
"Oh, no, officer" the boy replied
quickly. Il think too highly of my
king"
The German officer scowled and
returned: 81 hope you don't dare
call him William"
"Oh, no, officer; I think too highly
of my jackass."-Paris Liberte.

Courage Bouquets.

Courage bouquets are received, and
many of the newest evening gowns
show them in interesting color and
workmanship. But as we use them
now they are not accessories that we
can add to a frock as an afterthought
to give it color or freshness. The
gown really has to be built up from
the bouquet, and as a matter of fact,
more. than one of the most successful
evening gowns this year has been
made with an interesting corsage bou-
quet as the nucleus; the rest was
only a development.

WOMEN WAR DOCTORS.
Noble Bands Known as 1.-THE Battal-
ion of Life.'

VII VI I'm
In the early part of the war a
large number of Russian women
we're impelled by the great deeds of
their country to form themselves in
to a military unit which was known
as The Battalion of Death Urged
by the same desire for service, wo-
men physicians and surgeons of
many lands are doing splendid work
in waging warfare against the injury
and disease which follow in the wake
of war. Groups of medical women
have been active and efficient all
through these dread four years, and
collectively these noble bands are
spoken of as "The Battalion Of Life
because of their efforts to overcome
death on the battlefield and in the
trenches.
The sto1y of the Scottish women
physicians is now widely known, and
yet it is we'll to remember those ear
Hest attempts in view of the more
general and elaborate work due
since 1914. The Scottish Women's
Hospitals were founded in October,
1914, and their unit was made ready
for Belgium in ten days. They had
the lowest death rate from typhoid
of any army hospital in that coun-
try and so excellent was the work
done that the authorities requested
these women doctors to return and
take charge of a British army hosp1-
tai in London with over 500 beds.
Four Scottish women's hospitals
were at work in Serbia during the
typhus epidemic, and the heroic SER
vice of Dr.. Elsie Inglis is among the
most magnificent records of the
world.-Toronto Globe.

The Embarrassed Bachelor.

The proud parent was taking his
first-born out for an airing and was
strutting down the street with the
infant in his arms when he ran into
the Bashful Bachelor.
"Whaddy va think of my baby?"
said the Proud Parent. Some whop-
per to be only three weeks old, eh?'
The Bashful Bachelor looked at
the little red face and the little bald
head, and said:
Does it TALK"
"Talk!" exclaimed the Proud Pa
rent. "Of course mott"
"Eh--ah, of course not" agreed
the Bashful Bachelor. Does it
walk"
"Walk?" yelled the Proud Pa
rent. "Of course mott"
"Er-ah, of course not" stammer-
ed the Bashful Bachelor, trying to
get away. "Have you named it,"
where do you get that it stuff"
demanded the Proud Parent angrily.
"This is no insect, it is a baby!"
ooh, yes, of course" agreed the
Bashful Bachelor. "It is a baby,
isn't it,"
But the Proud Parent was on his
way down the street.

be removed with as much soil cling

The best time to transplant is on

WILSON. ADMITS He
ENGINEERED CHINA
DEAL FOR JAPANESE
PRESIDENT TELLS SENATORS HE
ALONE ARRANGED WAR RE-
WARD FOR NiPPON-TAkES
SOLE RESPONSIBILITY UPON
HIMSELF.

Washington, July 23.-Presdent
Wilson, in conversations with repub-
lican senators yesterday, admitted
sole responsibility for the Shantung
settlement in the peace treaty where
by this great province of China, with
its 10000 900 of Chinese inhabitants,
is 10 be delivered to the control of
Japan.
Tho senator's were told that Lloyd
George and Clemenceau refused to
participate in the discussion of
.Iapan's claim to Shantung because
of the secret treaties which England
had made with Japan covering this
particular item in the Japanese de
mands.
Jhereupon it was stated, the en-
tire matter of appeasing Japan and
satisfying her demands for terri
toria} aegressions was turned over
to President Wilson. Senators were
told hat the President personally
negotiated the settlement with
Japans representatives and agreed
to give Shantung to the Japanese
cmnire, The plan OF settlement was
then submitted to the other members
of the big five for approval.
coaxed Japs Into War.
This is the first time that this big
secret of the peace conference has
been told 1t made profound i'm
preston upon the senators to whom
it was revealed. They were senators
who had been summoned by the
President to the White House to
itsen to the reasons why the peace
treaty should be promptly ratified
without alteration or amendment.
The President also gave to the sen.
atorS some Of the reasons why ia
pans claims on China were agreed
to- The most important of these
was that Japan had been exceedingly
backward about entering the war on
he side of the allies.
Tho secret treaties with England
and France were negotiated as an in
centiye to Japan to get in and help
drive the Germans out of China, 1t
was not until after England and
France had agreed to support Japan
claims to large portions of China S
territory that Japan did get in.
The President further pleaded ia
pans cause with the senators by
pointing out that the dislodgment OF
the Germans from Shantung was Of
vital Importance to the transport of
trouus from New Zealand and Aus
ralia to help the British cause in
France.
With Germany in possession of
Kiao-chau as fortified naval base
it would have been impossible, the
President said, for troops to have
been transported from these British
possessions to Europe.

entitled to be fully recompensed for
