TALKING ABOUT AGE

"of course you had one splendid time visiting your old home,s' remark ed Mrs. Snowdeh.
 Perfectly wonderful." beamed her neisnbor. A trifie strenuous, perhaps but one must expect that when visit ing ones sirlhood friends. Every one seems to feel. you know. that it is her Bounsen duty to entertain and keep a visitor on the hop every blessed mo- ment, never stepping to think that the visitor might like a quiet, homelike time. And you just can't rebel. You must quietly submit to the avalanche of entertaining. though your nerves may be horribly on edge, to say noth- Ing of your unfortunate stomach in it's awful battle to digest the amazing variety of fancy light refreshments forced upon. it.
 Please understand. Mrs. Snowden. i" the neighbor digressed, that I am not knocking, or anything like that. but weII-
 cast her eyes toward the ceiling
 And then. my goodness she re- sumed, there's that other awfuIly an- moving, quite uncalled for thing! I re- fer to the crazy way folks have of ev- erlasti2gly talking about age. I don't want to hear the word again as long as I live. Why, from the time I hit that town until I departed, MT. or Mrs. Somebody-o other was telling me that it was Just so many years since my marriage, and that I was about leaving my twenties then, but that I held my age very well considering, and that-oh, hang these date cranks!
 And then those abominable old birthday books" she groaned. Do you remember them? Were you ever goose enough to write you name in one of them? Certainly you were. None of us ever missed thrilling opportunity like that Always at a time, too. when we would have given worlds to be really grown up. Indeed I'm sure that in one of them, trotted out for my in spection, I'd made myself out three years older than I actually was. Of course. if | had mentioned that fact well. you know the covert smiles which would have gone around. No. simply said nothing, tried to look ami able. though I was angry as the mis- chief.

ACTION ON BERGER

In view of the eight to one vote of the congressional committee that has been investigating the seating of Vic tor Berger as congressman from Wis., consin there can be no question as to what the action of congress will be in the matter. The opposition to Berger is founded upon the fact that he has been convicted of violating the espionage law, and the only reason why there was not a unanimous vote against his taking his seat is that one member considered that the ap- peal to the higher court ought to be awaited before congress took action
 Congressional action is not based upon what the court may do. It is a law unto itself and the reconmenda- ton of the committee will be followed without any doubt. Congress is the last place that such a. man ought to be allowed to sit. It was surprising that any congressional district would select such representative but. the German and socialist elements were responsive to Berger's radical attitude during the war and insisted that he carry his views to tho floor of con- gross regardless of the fact that a prison sentence for working against the laws of the country was hanging over his head.
 It took some time for the committee to make it's report but that overcomes any charge of snap judgment even though the result is no different than was expected. and the house should

THE PRoHieITioN VETO.

There is no wonder that the liouor and other interests were surprised at the action of President Wilson in ve- toing the prohibition enforcement bill, that provides not only for constitu- tional but war time prohibition. It was quite generally conceded that inas- much as the country had declared for prohibition and war time prohibition has been kept in force. although its effect has come entirely since the fighting stopped. that there would be no interruption of the dry spell dur ing the next two and a half months.
 Inasmuch as the country has been undergoing a marked curtaiiment in the sale of beer, wines and liquors for the past feTr months, though it is per- fectly eviden. that intoxicants have been sold but not on the scale previ- ous to the first of Juls-. and a consti- tutionsl amendment has been adopted making prohibition obligatory from the middle of next January it was natural to expect that there would be no move made to introduce a wet spell for a brief time which is so appar- eutly against the wish of the country The action of the house in overriding the veto of the president reflects this attitude and it was not surprising that the senate followed the same course.
 The veto by the president was prompted by the provision in the bill dealing with war time prohibition The fact is that the war is no moro over now than it was on the first of July The peace treaty has not been ratified by this country and a state of peace has not been declared, and while the president wanted this part of the bill eliminated it couldn't help being realized that this would have meant the putting through congress of new measure dealing with constitu- iionai prohibition just to give the country a wet spell when as a mat ter of fact it has already registered against it At the same time it. is evident that the vetoing of the en- rorcement bill does not remove the war time prohibition law.

TIME TO END WARNINGS.

While the country has been suffer Ing from the effects of the food hoard sTs and Profiteers. and while all sorts 3f preparations have been made for bringing such people to the bar of jus ice it appears that most of the efforts expended have been confined to warn ing the violators of what terrible things might happen to them if they 1idn't stop. In other words they were given less than slap on the wrist and told to be good. which of course only indicated to them after one or two performances of this kind that they need pay little attention to it. This seems to be borne out by the statement of Food Director Williams when he says We have given two months notice that the food laws were made to be obeyed. We have done all that we should be asked to do-"
 As a matter of fact it would appear that he had done far more than should reg asonably be asked of him. Such immunity with the privilege of violating the law is not given to most people even when such important mat ters are not at stake. From the way in which sugar is being offered for sale, and even to the food director, though his identity was not at the time known. must make it evident to him that warnings have been a fail ure.
 What is needed is the prosecution of those who are responsible for the tying up of the foodstuffs and the ad- vance in the prices because of their acts. That this is the policy that will be followed in the future is indicated by the statement to the effect that Hereafter we are going to recom- mend to the United States district at- torney for criminal prosecution all eases of violation in which we obtain evidence" It certainly is time. With a few of these profiteers subjected to d stiff fine or jail sentence the best corrective influence would be brought fo bear

STORIES OF THE WAR Lieutenant General Jacques in the
War.

Lieutenant General Baron Jacques who, according to his own assertion occupied the front seat in the iron! row. when the Germans opened the great international show" in 1914, is the most striking member of the suite which is accompany King Albert oi Belgium on his visit in the United States. Tall. straight as an arrow General Jacques looks like the fight ing man he is and has been from boyhood. for he is one of the profes- sional soldiers upon whom Belsium relied when it made the great decision which held up the German army until French ard British soldiers could get into action.
 General Jacques was in comma nd of the Twelfth regiment, one of the crack military organizations of Bel gium, and was stationed at Liege where General Leman was in com - mand.
 ''I had never been impressed by the bombast of the German soldiery and had full confidence in my own men, said the general as he sat in his plain ly furnished cabin on board the George Washington on the voyage to New York and talked of the early days of the war.
 Germans on the bridge at Wise. and after a sharp fight drove them back, capturing the flag of the Ninety seventh Brandenburg regiment.
  n1mediately we had more than a thou sand civilian volunteers. digging trenches and helping in every way possible. General Lenan issued a proclamation i'll which he said. Big Germany has invaded our country ini- posing an uItimatum which constitutes an outrage. Little Belgium proudly accepts the challenge. The Belgium army will do it's duty. The people of Liege only ask to be allowed to do theirS.'
 During the discoura ging days which followed, when the Belgian army was compelled to retire from place to place until it at last had to give up Antwerp and begin it's slow retreat along the coast, General Jacques never doubted tbe' final outcome. and encouraged his men by pointing out that when they reached the Yser river the backward movement would end. And so 1t did.
 My regiment had orders to hold Dixmude till death, and we did. Not until high command decided to evac- uate the town did we leave our places" said the general.

cause of selling watered milk. That ia a reprehensible practice and deserves punishment, but it also raises the question why others guilty of a still meaner conduct are not also taken in hand by the State which ntsrds that the people, in food products at least, shall know the quality of the things they buy. In the matter of grain and foodstuffs that the milk men. along with others purchase
 there is no certainty as to the puri- ty or wholesomeness of the goods. This has been particularly true during the past year all over Connections, Many a poultry dealer for examples has seen his fiocks decimated by musty or damaged grains, and pur- chasers Of n1iddlings, cracked corn and so on have discovered the feeds to have been adulteratad with trash. This constitutes proffteering of th@ rankest kind and it makes watered milk in comparison an innocent thing. Why is one punished and the other equally guilty ignored?-Bristo1 Press.

not true that their troops had treated Belgium brutally but that, anyway i've must decidedly refuse to buy Q German defeat at the cost of saving l work of art.
 If Louvain has contributed little to scinetific achievement it had a tremendous effect upon philosophic and religious thought, It has been said that the city's chic product was theology But Germany's contempt for that kind of culture is reflected unconsciously in Baedeker's guideboek of 1910 which describes it as a dull place with 42,200 iniia bitants.'
 Thus the German guide casually dismisses the cradle of Belgian in6e- pendence, an early home of the Eu- ropean weaving industry and treas ure house of marvellous art works. In one of his most famous pastorals. Cardinal Mercier, now visitor in the United States, describes the havoc wrought in Louvain thus: r Tn this dear city of Louvain, per- petually in my thoughts, the magnifi- cent Church of St. Peter will never recover it's former splendor. The an cient college of St. Ives, the art schools, the consular and commercial schools of the university, the old mar kets, our rich library with it's col lections, it's unique and unpublished manuscripts. it's archives. itsN gallery Of great portraits of illustrious rectors. chancel1ors, professors dating from the time of it's foundation. which pre- served for masters and students alike a noble tradition, and were an in citement in their studies all this ac- emulation of intellectual, of historic and O artistic riches, the fruits of the laborSS of six centurise-a1l is in dust ?
 The library referred to contained some 10000 volumes and about 800 manuscripts, arJ was attached to the university founded in 1426, by John ", scapegrace husband of Jacqueline P ru.% I 5000 students; but at it's heyday, in the 18th century it's enrolment ex- ceeded 5000.
 ''The city of Louvain ever will be remembered as the scene of the grant ing to the Belgian people by Duke Wences1aus of the joyous entry and the university will be. associated with that charters preservation, more than four centuries later, when Kaiser Jo- seph, the crowned anarchist of Aus tria, tried to deprive Belgians of their ancient rights.
 '"The circumstances of that resist ance orm one mfore bond union be- tween Belg\im and the United States of America, for it took place just ten years after the Declaration of Inde- pendence was signed. an act which let deep impress spon the Be1gians.
 sIt will be recalled that Emperor Joseph, brother of Marie Antoinette, had tried to abolish Hollands from
 
 tory because Holland at that time was embroiled with Great Britain over the formers recognition of the United States of America
 Next he turned to Belgium with a project for reforming the church, but the Belgians were determined that such reformation should not be inn posed frrno without. When the Bel gians resisted he. declared it's consti- ton annulled, sent an armed force in the country, and was met with a claration that he was no longer Duke of Brabant. and that Belgians hence forth would be an independent people to De known as the United States of Belgium.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT. Eoltor,; The entente allleS were Great Britain. France and Russia. bound by a secret treaty for defensive purposes. No other nation was a member. and their war aims were stated in my previous letter. In 1916 the British premier said. We will not sheathe the sword we have unwillingly drawn until we secure for all nations, great and small, the right to work out their own destiny unhampered by the fear of German militarism." No men tion is made of peoples
 The United States entered the war to defend its own interests and carry our President Wilson's high idealss which were broader and more demo- cratic than those of the entente, and continued to operate against Germany as an independent and separate fight ing nation for almost one year. Until, seeing that defeat of the entente by Germany had come within the range of possibility, President Wilson made a suggestion to the entente and asso- ciated allies for ordination of all resources. to insure victory for the en- tente and their allies; and they most gladly accepted the suggestion, Persh- ing. IIaig and Diaz placing their armies under the supreme command of Mar shal Foch. This brought victory and the honor. credit and praise belong to the United States. and to no other nation on the face of the earth.
 elf-determination is, first. rightful ownership Of area. l. e.. land and rivers; second. freedom of choice by the people.
 Every man knows that Poland was kingdom until partitioned by Ger many, Austria and Russia. Ireland never was a nation. Ireland wants or is dema nding not equality but domina- tion over Ulster. a distinct race, and no people are fit to be given liberty while they deny that same liberty to others.

Forfeited Rights to Independence.

Mir. Editor: In reply to MT. Ring lands letter Self-Deterfnination com pletely ignores Ulster. Has not Ulster
 "a separate people from the rest of Ireland-the right of self-determina- tion, Ulster which remained loyal to the allied cause and volunteered 80 per cent. of the Irish troops? But few volunteers came from the rest of Ire land. The whole Irish people were hand and heart against Great Britain and the allied cause for humanity and civilization. Did they not show this by tneir treasona ble rebellion in the spring of 1916. when it's leader. Sir Roger Easement. was executed for high treason? Who can deny this? And those of Irish descent in the United States, until we entered. syE3pathized with the Huns.
 They also planned in the spring of 1918 another revolt in Ireland in CO., operation with the German drive toward Paris. but this was nipped in the bud by the British.
 Now, reviewing all this plotting and treason by the Sim F'einers, who by far represent the greater part of the Irish people. they now come begging fer their national independence. which they have surely forfeited by their tI eascnable attitude. This is the only response they have given in return For the good the British have done for the n. The British offer order and give them protection; let them withdraw and there would be no order.
 Had they their independence they would maintain in all probabi the same hostile attitude toward England, and no country will grant independ- ence to hostile people.
 Had the bulk of the Irish (the Sim Feiners) acted differently during the war, Wilson's principle of self-deter- imitation would have applied to them as well as the rest; but as the situa- tion is. the allied diplomats were un- able to receive them at the peace con- ference, as their delegates were so mingled with the reactionaries in Ire- land. /
 But now. should the Irish be loyal subjects of Britain for years to come. their aims might be considered.
