All are agreed that the purposes
sought to be accomplished by the
proposed league of nations are not
only desirable but necessary if the
world is to have a lasting peace
instead OF truce. Bat there are
some who are skeptical as TO the
practicability Of the scheme: there
are others who fear that the oh
legations and responsibilities which
it will impose on the countries
which join it will prove intoler-
able if not inconsistent with their
freedom and independence. Let US
address ourselves briefly to some
of these objections and see if they
are really serious.
An objection frequently made in
this country is that the action of
the United States in joining the
league of nations would ne in con-
troversion of our traditional pol
icy in regard to entangling alli-
ances. Washington's advice in
this matter is always invoked and
relied upon as a conclusive argu-
ment. But those who appeal to
the teaching of Washington for
get that in the same address in
which he warned his countrymar
against entangling alliances he
also added: MY own wish is to
see everything settled upon the
best and surest foundation for the
peace and happiness of mankind
without regard to this, that or
other nation" and that he stigma
tized war as a plague OF man
kind"
Moreover, when Washington ut
tered this timely advice he had in
mind particular alliance be-
tween the United States and a
European power which had caused
embarrassment to us and had led
10 some unfortunate results The
conditions which then prevailed
when America was in virtue of its

friends on the street and stop to
talk with them they always ask
us where we are going on that or
the next evening. When we tell
them mo place" that is as far as
it goes. They do not ask us to go
TO the show or any place with
them. What should we say when
they ask US where we are going?
F.-G.-M.
a. You are too young to be es-
corted home from parties at night
by boys. Have some older mem
Der of your family call for you.
90 Kissing games are in very
bad form Parents in the better
classes of society would not think
of letting their children play them.
80 Etiquette does not permit
girls and boys TO stand on the
street and talk. The boys are sup
posed to join the girls and walk
with them if they care to talk
When you meet boys on the street,
speak and pass on. If you are
questioned by them again about
your plans for the evening tell
them that you do not consider
yourselves old enough to make
plans.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When
wearing a wedding ring and an
engagement ring, which should be
put on first? BLUE EYES.
The wedding ring should be put
on first and the engagement ring
second. This arrangement results
from convenience; the engagement
ring is more often removed in or
der to protect the stone.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
young girls. We have boy friends
whom we do not like very well.
We were out riding with them be-
cause we do not like to turn them
down. Do you think we should
go with these boys or not? l & c.
You should not go riding with
the boys. 1t is not advisable for
young girls to ride with boys I'M
less chaperoned. Besides this you
should not go with boys unless
you like them.

SCARS OF BATTLE
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
BERL1N, Feb. 1.--(By Mail 1.-The
store windows OF Berlin are among
the oldest evidences of the fighting
of the revolution. Everywhere, where
there has been fighting, the window
panes have suffered. but Berlin Is diff
ferent.
In towns along the front window
panes were no more after the violent
bombardment of both armies; in Par
is and other citiey they were badly
crashed in as the result Of bombing
raids. but Berlin's panes merely have
holes In them.
AS machinegun bullets flew in every
direction, they pierced the windows
with shsarp round holes less than an
inch in diameter, around each of
which is a flaky fringe. Coming SO
fast, they did not crack the glass es-
pecially the thick plate glass windows.
In one single pane on Jerusalem
strassse you can count more than three
hundred holes in the plate glass pane
of a shoe store AS yet the plate Of
glass Is not cracked, and IL is solid
but it will not keep out wind or wa
ter.
In some blocks scarcely a pane is
left without from one to hundred
holes in it. though rarely was a win
dow broken so badly il had to be
boarded up. In most cases. the shop
Keepers swept out the fragments of
glass, and the holes in the windows
serve as an addition al attraction to
prospective customers.
Considering the eost OF plate glass
windows. and the lack of necessity of
feplacing plates damaged merely by
holes bored in them. il is likely Ber-
lin storekeepers will tolerate and point
with n idc to their evidences of the
rev olutton for years to come.
fronts of the modern buildings
along the principal streets of fighting
also are badly chipped with sDattered
holes, not very deep but giving the
stone structures pocked appearance.
II is practically impossible to remove
these pocks. and they are not serious
enough to warrant reconstruction.
Berlin probably will keep her souve-
