CINCINNATI, Oct 15.-The Shantung
clause in the peace treaty was to-day
attacked by DIR. w. E. Macklin, noted
missionary. for thirty-seven years in
China, at the international convention
of the Disciples of Christ in session
here. He said that instead OF establish
ing peace the clause would. If enforced,
bring about another war.
"China already is waging trade war
with Japan" he said. "She will fight
when she is able to defend her terri
tory" The missionary took a directly
opposite stand to that OF Bishop Nc
Kim of Toxic. who supported the clause
in an address before the Episcopal Tri-
ennial at Detroit on Tuesday.

FORGET THE N0N-ESSENTIALS
Their Pursuit Takes Time That Might
Far Better Be Devoted to Seek
ing Higher Things.

A political writer has said that for
merly, when our forefathers became
dissatisfied, they pushed further into
the wilderness; but that now, if any
thing goes wrong, we run bowling to
Washington after special legislation.
In the same spirit our age is turning
to surface conditions for strength and
peace, remarks the Unpopular Review.
Poor but free" was everywhere writ
ten with chalk or charcoal on the
houses of Florence when 1t was be-
sieged, and In the streets of the CITY
there was kindness, generosity and the
absence of thought of self. The in
sistent phrasing of our moral and So
cial right to all the ease and splendor
of the world which we can make our
own has its place. We have altogether
too much needless and shameful pov-
erty; but we need to remember, never
theless, that poverty has been the
school of some Of the finest attributes
and the best achievements of the race.
Equalizing the outward condition Of
men cannot be an adequate substitute
for the ancient discipline Of hardship
and self-restraint.
Essentials are few. He who is con-
tent with them saves from the pursuits
of nonessentials time which he can de-
vote to fitting others to attain essen
tails; and that, we take it, is about
the noblest use that can be made Of
time.

To the forty-odd children of ado
lescent age Miss Graham, freshman
English teacher in room 124 of the
Peabody High school, was the embodi-
ment of wisdom. To their untitled
minds, looking to the nearest pinnacle
for desirable goal, Miss Graham's
knowledge, ranging from an easy famil-
iarity with Chaucer to unconscious free
dom with dactylic verse, was indeed
the very highest rung on the ladder Of
education.
But it was fortunate for the esti-
mable lady that these youthful mentali-
ties did not demand that so superior a
being dress In fashions of the minute,
not that even passing good looks were
an accompanying requisite. For it must
be admitted that while Miss Graham
was most excellent teacher of Eng
fish, she was an abominable dresser,
and her straight hair combed straight
back sent Mr.. Strenly, sole male in
structor at the school, scurrying many
a morning to his gymnasium, where
he worked his classes extra hard In an
effort to eradicate the unpleasant i'm
preston.

Graham was saying In her usual dry,
high-pitched soprano on this balmy
June afternoon toward the close of the
summer semester, leach pupil will
bring to class an original composition
founded on fact. 1t need only be an
incident, but it must be true, for any
successful writer will tell you that

1t was quiet and natural appearing
around home when she came back.
Miss Sally had gone to the station to
meet her hero and excepting for the
big service flag with its one star in
the upper bay window there was no
special sign of preparations. Betty
went to her room, whistling happily,
and changed her pretty tan silk gown
for one of brown corduroy. On her
way out she paused to look at the
face in the oval silver frame, and q
curious look came in her brown eyes
a look almost of tenderness.
''You know we've grown to be al
most acquainted, haven't we, boy?'
she asked it. II approve Of you and

Suddenly he saw horse approach

The Hoodlum
By IZoLA FORESTER


They named him the Hoodlum when
he first came to Blue Meadow farm
a long-legged, knock-kneed, wild-eyed
colt, with nothing but a pedigree to
make people admire him.
Il can't take him over with me-"
Dacre wrote back, "and he's all gold,
believe me, Aunt Sally. Just keep
him till get back, and don't let any
body but me break him. 1t won't be
long"
That had been nearly a year ago,
and still the Hoodlum ranged freely
without saddle on his back or a
bit between his teeth. 1t seemed as
If he had become almost a symbol, to
Miss Sally, of Dacre's safe return
home. Dacre had been her favorite
since his mother had died in his baby
hood, and had given him into her care
when she was only twenty. He had
grown up at the farm, and 1t had
brought all of the horror of war close
to her heart when she had heard
that he had gone into the aero serv-
ice.
But the Hoodlum took life easily.
He was a handsome colt, rich bay in
tone, with darker name and TAIL and
white feet. He would come at Miss
Sally's call, clear from the river mead
ows where he loved to Craze, to the
lane bars for some sugar or an apple
from her hand. And when she drove
along the road toward town, the colt
would race, with name flying. trying

with the first surprise of her face
dawning on him and her voice In his
ears, just what lay under her words,
but two weeks later, as he waited for
her at the foot of the wide verandal
steps with Hoodlum and Marigold his
own new riding mare, Aunt SelahI
came by and unburdened her mind.
II done tole her ovah and ovah
she amt got no right ter ride dat colt,

she like. She broke him in all by
herself, Marse Dacre, and dat colt he

her Jes' what's what or she gwine ter
do anything she feels like round dis
place"
Dacre laughed, watching Betty's
figure as she stepped through the long
window Of the library that opened on
the veranda.

about. Auntie Selah," he said 81 think
he recognized his future mistress and

The Hun helmet possesses a strong
fascination for the American soldier
Apparently he is not able to resist the
temptation to capture one whenever
or wherever he sees 1t. A news story
from the Rhine country tells us that
German policemen of the towns oc
cupied by the American troops have
given up wearing helmets. Many of
the policemen gave them up because
they had none to wear. Others dis
continued their use because the Amer
lean officers made the discontinuance
a request. The American soldiers, it
Is explained, couldn't resist the i'm
pulse to capture them. The German
policemen were rushed all along the
Rhine and deftly unbonneted. 1t all
shows that the primitive instinct that
urges a victor to take from the con-
quered some symbol of his submission
continues strong In the warrior breast.

EASY TO TALK TOO MUCH
One Must Admit There Is Much Truth
In the Sage Reflections Of
Mr.. 0oelington.

ut is my opinion" said Mr.. Gosling-
ton, that beggars talk too much. For
Instance, this morning / met man
who asked me for nickel with which
to buy a cup of coffee. As I was
reaching for the nickel he kept right
on talking, telling me among other
things that he hadn't had anything to
eat for three days, which l knew Of
course was false, and which detracted
very much from my pleasure In giving.
Il am an easy mark. Perhaps as /
grow older shall grow harder, but as
feel about 1t now l would rather give
to dozen frauds than take a chance
Of missing one man who was hungry.
Still l, don't like the fraud to be too
obvious; and I am sure there must
be many prospective givers who, when
the beggar keeps on with that sur
plus talk. rescind their original deter
mination to give and keep their money
In their pocket. Surely you would
think the beggar would learn wisdom
and talk less, wouldn't your
"But the beggar is not the only
man. How often do we hear 1t said
of some banquet speaker that he Is
good talker but he talks too much !
This may seem harsh way of put
ting 1t, but that's what people say.
This speaker starts engagingly and
talks for time to the pleasure of ev-
erybody, wandering on then interim
nably to the complete obliteration of
the first favorable impression. Here
the only result is the firing of the
speakers hearers; but talking too
much might have far more serious
result in the case of, say, a man ap-
plying for job.
MANY a man has talked himself
] out of prospective Job. He goes to
the employer with what he wants to
] say clearly laid out In his mind, he
says this clearly and simply, and the
employer has practically made up his
mind to take him; but then the appli-
cant keeps on talking, to his own I'M
doing. AS he talks he reveals himself
In light less favorable; he discloses
perhaps some popularity that may not
really be detriment but that strikes
the employer not agreeably; and so

felt perfectly sure Of slips away from

Australia is the only country that
possesses two floral emblems. Be
sides the waffle" she has the wara-
tab. described by her earliest botanists
as the most magnificent plant which
her prolific soil provides. At one time
this national flower figured on Aus
tralian postage stamps and postcards.
The botanical title Of the waratah
(Telopea), was suggested by the great
distance at which the brilliant Grim
son blossoms can be seen. Australian
black men suck these flowers for the
copious honey they contain, and thus
in war time they defied their food
