The PASSING Of a Woman Writer
BY SOPHIE IRENE. LOEB

act on them without knowing just
how they came to us.
So, after all, they are not mere
words, but go on playing their part
in our everyday lives.
Thus she has passed, but her work
still lives. rss2
Yet what about us who have been
left? The editor-in- chief called atten-
ton to her work. He pointed out
paragraphs of inestimable value, and
sadly reflected that her place could
not be filled
And her close associate was glad
that she FASTENED to see her before
she had gone off on her last adven-
ture for interviews with the great
souls that have gone
And everybody was anxious to con-
tribute to the subscription that had
been raised to send her flowers.
And some went to the funeral the
next day and wept with the mourners.
And l reflected on it all, as we met
that day to arrange for a little din
ner in honor of another great worker.
And l felt the spirit of Nixola Greeley
Smith was there. And ! thought she
was saying: Il wish / could join
you"
And / could not help wishing that
we had given her a little dinner or
had sent the flowers to her desk some
day when she had least expected it,
And l could not help wishing that
all the good people that said nice
! things about her had said them to
her.
And reflected some more
don't want any flowers when /
am gone. If a friend has a gracious
word, a rosebud or common field
flower to give me, / want it when
need it most. | want it while I am
alive. I want the message of kind
ness while / am here, be it ever so
humble.
want the clasp of a sympathetic
hand, the voice that treasures.
The valley of the shadow of death
is as nothing compared to the seamy
side of things sordid that come up
daily and crave the sympathetic sign
of solicitude--that one may go on to
a Drawer battle for the things that
endure.
II this were my last day on earth
would hasten to give the chime of
cheer or the little flower to those who
need 1t now and are alive to appre-
| ciate 1t.

NO WIRELESS" AT MANILA.
London Answers.

The last shot of the Spanish
ican war took place at the capture Of
Manila, although an armistice had
been signed the day previous, but
there was no wireless in those days
and the cable from Hongkong had
been cut. But the end came In Cuba
with dramatic scenes. Thus while
the Americans were bombarding Nam
zanillo, the Spanish fort and batteries
hoisted the white flag. Thinking it
means surrender. the attackers re-
joiced and sent officers ashore to take
the capitulation, when they were con-
fronted with a telegram announcing
the end of hostilities.
Even more dramatic was the con-
clusion of the Peninsular war. Well
[lington had just won his last triumph
lat. Toulouse, the casualties on both
sides numbering some $1,000, and the
armies were rejoicing or Borrowing
when a tired courier rode up to an
nounee that Napoleon had abdicated
five days before and the war over.

WHEN GERMANY WAS STARVING

Prof. Lowell Thomas in LeSlles.
! ran into four americans yester-
day who have been here in Strasbourg
all four years of the war.
/ dined with Mr.. and Mrs. Butler
last evening. They told me some
curious things about life in Stras-
bourg during the war All of these
people were kept here as prisoners
and not allowed to return to America
or even go to any other part of Ger
many, because this city was regarded
as fortress. -
Mrs. Butler told me they were for
hidden to speak either English or
French even in their own home, and
they were forced to obey because
they knew their servants might re-
port them in order to get the reward
offered. Speaking of the cost of liv-
ing, she said that before the war II
cost them about $4,000 to 10000
marks, the equivalent of $4,000, to
run their home and buy food Since
1914 she said it had increased to over
$4,000 marks or more than $4,000.
Milk was so scarce that, even among
the well-to-do, groups of three fami-
lies usually combined and bought a
COW. For an ordinary bovine they
had to pay 5000 marks, $3.50. 1t
cost marks $3.50 per day to feed
the COW, Which gave about eight
quarts of milk day, when 1t wasn't
dry OF that, two quarts went to the
man who took care Of it, and each
Of the three families got a like
amount. ha1
During the last year the people Of
StrasbOurg were cut down to one egg
b week, when any were obtainable at
~ al
half pounds OF sugar month. except
during canning season, when that
was raised to four pounds. The po-
tato ration was six pounds week
per person. The bread everyone was
forced to- use was all made under
governmental supervision. The in
gradients were a flour made of reeds
which grow along the streams In
Alsace, dried and milled into a pow
der and mixed with dried turnip
flour; rs per cent bran and mill
sweepings, per cent whole wheat
flour, 10 per cent seaweed and 4
large quantity of sawdust which was
put In to stretch" the flour, Mr..
Johnson told me that at least one
fourth of the time the bread was
delivered, to rich and poor alike, with
maggots in it as a result of the fact
that 1t was extremely difficult to
bake it through. He said If you
threw a chunk of bread against the
wall it would stick there like putty
with water dripping out of 1t.
'In place of coffee we have been
using chicory, acorns and roasted

Lenin and Marat, Trotzky and Danton
Baron s. A. Korff in the April Yale Review

In Russia, Lenin comes very close
to the Marat type of man and poll
tician, though he is probably less
cruel and sordid and more clever
than his French protype. He could
hardlys.be compared to Rohespierre,
though the latter is certainly his po-
litical ideal; he has nothing of that
Frenchman's refinement, intelligence,
or patriotism. Robespierre, with all
his faults. still loved his country,
whereas I,enin fights only for his own
| power and his soeialistic program.
Russia is for Lenin what the poor
gninea-pig is for the medical man, a
! live body for experiment; II the exper-
| iment of socialistic republic does not
| sIcceed-so much the worse for the
| distracted country. To the honor OF
the French leaders one must say that
I they wede in deadly earnest; not for
an instant did they lose sight OF their
country's interests.
| There exists possibly more Likeness.
in another case--between Trotzky and
| Danton. Both these men were typical
| demagogues and realists of revolution
They never forgot for moment the
| facts of life, and were never addicted
to any hard and fast theory: every
| tnlnB Tor lneTll conferred IN tHelT own
persons and the all-powerful lust OF
fame; they were both good orators
who knew how to impress crowd
and make the latter an obedient tool;
they could both swing with perfect
ease from one theory to another and
had no scruples in changing both Their
tactics and their programs However
the comparison would not be fair II
we did not point out the many facts
which must count in favor of Danton
This Frenchman was certainly much
I bigger man than his r ussiaa follower
Danton had some very noble impulses
which are absolutely lacking in the
case of Trotzky Danton saved France

very worthily, helping cruelty prose-

WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS.

DR.. David r. Boyd, chairman Of the
publicity committee of the league to
enforce peace" is receiving numerous
interesting statements from citizens
whose views he, sought upon the pro-
posed League of Nations. Every re-
ply indicates that all Americans are
for general peace. agreement
One of the questions asked by Dr.
Boyd was hardly framed in a manner
to lead to complete expression, but
rather tends to- create wrong view
of the attitude of the United States
toward part of this hemisphere.
The inquiry Is this:
do you feel that the advantages
which the United States will derive
will justify us in making some sacri-
fees of our national sovereignty and
giving up exclusive control of South
American affairs?"
One, answering that question as to
surrender Of some sovereignty"
might we'll hesitate-whether the
movement tends to surrender much
or little is in question.
If 1t means to surrender control of
immigration. labor and domestic pol
icies when such may clash against the
interests of most of other races in the
, pool, then we believe the some SOW
ereignty" that the American people
are willing to relinquish is far short
of the Wilson ideals, as declared to
the populace of Europe, when he won
favor by a big brother and generous
uncle attitude. 81 -. s..s
AS to the exclusive control Of
South American affairs we have
never had it. nor wanted to get into
the hornet nest of the politics and
affairs In that region. And why the
question about South America only?
What about Mexico?
Now and then some discipline has
been administered to an island gov
eminent or to peppery region that
needed policing or punishment. We
have protected some of them against
invasion for disciplinary, or debt
collecting purposes of other nations.
And in some cases thwarted progress
sive land grabbing colonization
schemes,
The Monroe Doctrine has been
thus applied, backed by show of
teeth. But we do not control the af-
fairs of the southern neighbors--
Mexico. or others. When they war
against one another we seek to ,arbi-
trate, to make peace, but wo do not
send our armies to fight on either
side.
A league of nations might call us
to war upon this continent as well
as abroad--if we go into an agree
mef1t Of that sort. F
Do the good people of New Mexico
think they should put themselves into
pool binding them to send sons and
money TO battle against Mexico, il
the more southern nations ever make
war on our nearest neighbor, with the
sanction Of a league of European
governments controlling the organi
cation?
The only control this nation claims
is one for self protection, through the
Monroe Doctrine. which was a presi.
dental warning notice to the world
that no European power shall eyer
dominate the people or secure con.
troll of affairs or, territory on this
hemisphefe. Thus they might pre-.

cuted individuals: Trotzky has no
such, good deeds to show in his de-
Tense. Further there exists the
greatest possible difference between
the peace treaties these two men
concluded. Whereas Danton's treaties
between France and Sweden and
France and Prussia were en1inently
favorable to his country and can be
regarded as diplomatic successes
especially the second treaty which
excluded Prussia from the coalition
against France--the treaty made by
TrotZky will always remain as a
frightful disgrace for Russia. which
was. simply sold to Germany and
completely dismembered.

Chickasha, Okla.-Mrs. j. w.
Walker recently said this: 1--WE use
Black Draught as family medicine
and think it is the only liver medicine
made. My husband makes it up and
uses it as a tonic as we'll as laxative.
/ use it for headache, sour stomach,
a full heavy feeling after meals which
/ suppose is indigestion, and it GER
tainly does me a lot of good.
My husband had some kind of stom-
ach trouble--we don't know just
what. 1t would strike him just any
time in the day and cramp or pain
him just terribly bad. Someone told
him how to make tea OF the Black
Draught, which he did. 1t did him
SO much good. it removed the cause
and cured him. Since then we have
praised the. Black Draught to our
friends, and gladly do So"
Seventy years of successful use has
made The1ford's Black Draught
standard, household remedy. Every
member of the family at times needs
the help that Black Draught can give
in cleansing the system and prevent
ing or relieving the troubles that
come from constipation, Indigestion,
lazy liver, etc.
