RED CROSS ASSISTING
 AMERICANS IN BERLIN

American citizens who have been detained in Berlin since the United States declared war on Germany are now receiving assistance from the American Red Cross whenever such aid is requested. While the principal work of the American Red Cross mission now in Germany is the distribution of relief among the hundreds of thousands of Rus sian prisoners in that country, the Red Cross workers are ex- tending help to such of their ma rooned fellow countrymen as need it.
 For the most part this help consists in supplementing the scanty government ration on which the Americans have had a hard job keeping alive during the last year or more. Ameri- cans caught in Berlin at the time this county entered the war and who have been subject to the closest military regulations dur Ing the conflict, are in the great majority women and children students and the like. with a small number of business men. Most ot them are able and only too glad to pay the Red Cross for It's additional food, though in needy cases the food is supplied free.
 Upon producing satisfactory evidence of American citizenship the Americans are permitted to
  buy at less than cost, food boxes containing coffee, tea, sugar. beans, dried fruits, canned toma- toes, condensed milk and salmon. Thus far about POO Americans nave bought these boxes. They have been subject to the same ration regulations as the German ;iVillan population, but they nave been unable to add to their 1ood supplies from the open market as do most of the Ger mans.

WILL CLE1IENCEAU
 RESIGN?

People at large and the French in particular, arc much intarest- ed to know whether Premier Clemenceau VII rasign or not. The Premier Is now nearly 78 years of age. He took the Premiership at tie most crit ieal point ef the war, won victory for France. and has since represented France at the Peace Conference. Ii Is under stood that he is desirous of retir- ing to private life. It is expect ed, however, that he will at least continue in office until the gen eral elections which have been announced for the early fall.
 The "old Tiger, as he has long been called, has been a veritable fortress of strength for France and. indeed the whole world, during these tenn pestuous tipes, and no honor that might be bestowed upon him could be too great. How ever, it would seem that his great public work must on ac- count of his advanced age, soon come to an end, and it may be that his resignation, now that the Peace Treaty has been signed, would be wise, since it would permit him to spend the re- maining years of his life without the possibility of any dimming, through postwar political con- troversies that are almost sure to arise, of the glory of his achievements.

 Non Haniel.

Sc ends the German dream Of world conquest. As one looks back over the history of record ed time one is impressed by the recurrance of efforts by single states and individuals who have attempted domination over all mankind. Not always is this dream the result of a discorded imagination, a pathological me- galomania. Sometimes it is due to the desire for unity, a world free from friction, resting peac- fully under a single domination. That was the unity aimed at by the Holy Roman Empire. The Alexander, the Tamberlaines, the Charlemagnes, the Ma poleons have all cherished the dream. Ire Kaiser is hardly to be counted among theirs, not be- cause his ambitions were less than theirs, but because his talents are on so infinitely a low CT plane. The German Empire, however, did achieve a unity that was great source of dan ger to the future of nationalistic development. It was the great est military organization in the world, so powerful that it took nearly the whole of the rest of the world to defeat it. But happily it was defeated and with that defeat will pass, we may hope, the possibility of any future attempt at similar domination. If men or states can learn anything from history at all then ought to learn this: that no single nation can at tempt universal conquest with out disaster to itself greater even than the disaster it in- flicts upon others.

ADMIRAL REUTER- TO BE
 COURT-MARTIALED

Admiral Reuter-, who gave the command to seuttle the cap- tured German ships, is to be court-martialed by the British Government. His act was a distinct violation of the armis- tiee terms and he will be tried on that ground. It is said that the Adm;ral's act renders him libable to the death penalty and that all concerned in it are liable to long terms of Imprisonment.
 Some of the British papers are demanding that the German Government be compelled to pay in reparation the full amount of the cost of the scuttled fleet. a sum amounting to $35O,000,0O0 in gold. A report by an eye witness of the sinking, Lieut.. Nutall, says that he saw the German officers shooting their own men when they attempted to obey the British commands to return to their ships and shut off the seacocks.
 Lieut.. Nuttall said: q pulled alongside a German destroyer when l saw the ship begin to settle and ordered the Germans back to close their seacocks. Four or five turned back where upon the German officers shot three of them dead. We then opened fire on the officers and several of them dropped.'
 While in the English press. there is much indignation a. galnst the Germans on account of the incident, there are still a good many who hold the opinion that the disposal of the ships in thls manner will remove a source of contention among the Allies.

THE AIRPLANE AS A MEN AGE TO PEDESTRIANS.

The fact that two children were recently killed and one seriously injured at Franklin Field, Boston, when one of the airplanes of the Flying Circus" landed after a flight from Albany, New York, emphasizes the importance of the making of regulations governing the use of airplanes and also provisions for safe landing places for them in our big cities as we'll as in rural sections. The pedestrian is already kept sufficiently busy attempting, by looking in four directions at once, to keep from being run down by automobiles and other terrestrial creatures. and it is certainly asking too much to expect him to keep his eye out overhead as well. He might possibly do this by the use of periscope but, on the whole, We think it would be fairer to handle the matter in some other way.

KAISER MAY FIND WAY TO

The prediction is being freely made through out Germany that the Kaiser will never be brought to trial before an Allied tribunal. There IS no definite statement as to the method by which he Will avoid such trial but the in- ference drawn from the manner m which the statement is made is-that he will commit suicide rather than submit to the humiliation of trial. There are also hints of the formation of a suicidal club to be con- posed of the U-Boat Command CTS and others who may be list

THE MARYRED GERMANY

The acceptance of the Peace Treaty by the Germans was no more than was to be expected. The martyred spirit and self sacrificing tone is almost enought to melt the heart of a stone. How pathetic the follow ing note to Premier Clem- menceau.
 The Minister of Foreign Affairs has instructed me to communicate to your Excellencv the following:
 It appears to the Govern ment Of the German Republic, In eonsternation at the last communication of the allied and Governments, that these Governments have decid. ed to wrest from German by force acceptance of the peace even those, which without presenting any material significance, aim at divesting the German people of their honor. Glow could such a thing be possible?)
 No act of violence can touch the honor of German people.

TEE GOOD TEACHER.

The Lord is my teacher I shall not lose the way. He leadeth me in the lowly path of learning, He prepareth lesson for me every day; He brin9eth me to the clear fountains of instlu >tion; Little by little, He showeth me the beauty of truth. The Word is a great book that He hath written, He turneth the leaves for me slowly; They are all inscribed with images and letters. He poureth light on the pictures and the words. He taketh me by the hand to the hill top of vision, And my soul is glad when perceive His meaning; In the valley also He walketh beside me, In the dark places He whispereth to my heart. Even though my lesson be hard it is not hopeless, For the Lord is patient with His slow scholar; He will wait while for my weakness, And help me to read the truth through tears.

FIRST USE OF THE NAPKIN

Existence today would be bad in

But can one conceive of its impor-

forks?
For, as we know, it was not until
the seventeenth century that forks
made their bow to the most elite So

the time-honored fingers. In Ho-

the napkin, which was used not only
during the meal itself but afterward
