DEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
an q girl seventeen. and for the

ried man OF thirty-thrse. He has q
wife who does not care for him and Is
only living with him 90 set what she
can out Of him. She g. a cigarette
smoker and entertains soldiers when
he Sc away.
Now, Miss Fairfax. know q is not
right for a single girl to 50 with q
married man, but feel 20 sorry Tor
him and be ig such 9 nne fellow ana
does not deserve such treatment
am sure 81 he had the right woman
20 stick to him he would amount 20
something I have had the pleasure
Of going out with him several times
and he has called 20 see me quite
often. have reached the point where
I really care for him
He has no children and does not love
his wife. he has always treated me
with kindness and respect a fortune
teller told me she could make him love
me. What would be your plan IN this
casef RUTH
Ny plan would be 70 let you sec
what an impractical mess you arr
getting yourself into. Misunderstood
married men should always be takeE
with a grain Of salt.
The trouble usually is not that theiI
wives DO not understand them, but
that they understand them altogether
too well. Therefore these men prefer
to pend their time with youngel
girls who are more easily made q
believe the moon Is made Of greer
cheese.
When he leaves his wife, as h,
probably won't, viii be time enough
for you and the fortune teller Il
worry about making him love you
Dear little girl. can't you see that
pity has probably led more young
girls out Of conventional ways thar
any other thing2
Let him prove his kindness and
respect by not compromising you with
his mortgaEed attentions. Don't yOJ

there is healing for all of Our So
cial ills and disorders-the divine
word of human freedom, the divine
law of justice, brotherhood, and
peace. The divine law as pro-
claimed by religion would insure to
each man the full fruit Of his labor,
the full recompense of his exertion;
would open up to honest toll all the
sources of wealth created by boun
tiful nature; would induce the
strong to care for the weak, and the
possessors to share with the dis
possessed, instead of exploiting
their weakness and helplessness.
But all this the divine law would
bring about by the gentle appeal to-
reason, conscience and Our innate
sense of right, dissuading from the
use of physical force and violence.
Violence, revolution, war, have new
er righted the wrongs of human
affairs. They sometimes uproot
evils, and make other and greater
evils grow in their place. Violence
only engenders violence. The
divine law stands for reconciliation
between all conflicting interests in
human life, and reconciliation can
come about only by each faction or
class yielding it's extreme demands,
abandoning it's severely selfish at
titude, and finding a common meet
ing ground. In all matters of dis
pute and conflict between extreme
radical opinions the truth is always
to be found in the happy mean.
That Our present industrial and
commercial system is wrong can no
longer be questioned by any right
thinking person. It's defenders, and
all those who would preserve it
at whatever cost, are only speed
ing the evil day of reckoning. But
it's remedy lies not in strikes, or
revolutions, or confscations of 9TH
er mems possessions. It's remedy
lies in new friendly, brotherly adj
iustment of the relations between
employers and employed, which
will insure to each one his due
share of profit and comfort and
leisure, thus avoiding the enrich
ment of the few at the expense and
impoverishment of the many. This
is the divine law of human con-
duct and human relations which
religion has always proclaimed.
And at no time has this message
been more urgent than at the pres

those who felt that they, too, ought
to share in such control.
Our forebodings have since then
been we'll confirmed by the grow
ing discomfort, unrest, and threat
ening mien of the working masses
of the people, the increased bitter
ness and friction between employ
ing corporations and organized en-
ployes. Reports of strikes and
threatened strikes in all parts of
the country are the daily journalist
ic fare served to a strlfe-Wear1ed
people. All manner of wage and
salary earners, including actors and
other theatrical folk, teachers and
policemen, are organizing and at
Gliating with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, evidently in prepara-
ton for some struggle to come.
In one part of the country or an
other the contest is going on all
the time and generally in several
parts at the same time. Most seri-
Gus in it's outlook for the economic
interests of the country is the chal-
1enge of the big Railway Brother
hoods and their related industrial
organizations. A tie-up of all
branches of railroad transportation
in this country by a strike of the
four Brotherhoods, and the result
ant disorders and riots, and per-
haps, civil war, would be far more
disastrous than any outside war
could possibly be. The condition
of Central and Eastern Europe
brought on by class and faction
strife may be easily duplicated here.
This menacing situation is un-
doubted1y the result of the rigid at
titudes, the extreme demands, and
the arrogant unyielding behavior
of the different economic interests.
The hoarders and profteers, having
had taste of swollen gains during
the war-period, seem to be unable
to bride their rapacity, to control
their appetite for profits out of all
proportion to their exertions and
investments. The radicals in the
labor organizations, seeing the
power welded by the pro1etariat in
European countries, are impatient
to create an opportunity to test their
followers strength in this country.
The nation at large is in the mean
time being drawn ever nearer to
the brink of a volcano, which in it's
eruption is sure to engu1f us all in

league. There is, as there is in Great
Britain and in France. objection TO
the idea OF the league in toto, but so
far, though my experience has neces-
sarily been limited, 1 have not come
across much of it. My immediate OBJ
1ect Is rather to explain the basis of
such opposition as exists both in Great
Britain and in France.
The opponents of the league in
Great Britain are in n very distinct
minority. They come In the main
from that class which is constitution
ally opposed to change and regard
any novelty with suspicion. Their
chief cry Is that the league is a deep
design by President Wilson to shield

the fruits of her victory. II is danger

precedent to precedent they are more
prepared than 1 find people here to
be to regard the draft as a foundation
susceptible to alteration and improve
ment than as finished building.
In France, on the other hand. there
has been a demand for security first
and foremost ever since the Peace
Conference assembled. When we con-
slider that the losses of France have
| been far greater in life than those OF
Great Britain and In property beyond
all comparison, this demand is per-
! fectly natural: almost the whole OF
the French criticism Of the League CT
Nations in France has been designed
to prove first that the League OF
Nations is delaying the settlement with
Germany and secondly that the league
will not provide France with the
guarantees which she must have. The
! first criticism is, / believe, supported
by a great volume of public opinion.
am not prepared to say that the at
tempt 10 frame constitution for the
league has delayed the preparation OF
the preliminaries OF peace with Ger
many. 1t had not done so up TO the
time when left Paris early in March.
and IL seems to me TO be quite prob
able that there may be other reason s
for the delay. but II had the appear
ance of doing so and in the present
state of France 1t was, think. a mis-
take to allow the proceedings of the
conference to create such an impress
sion.
The conference would, in my judy
ment, have been better advised II. after
laying down the broad principles OF
the League of Nations, it had pro-
ceeded to settle the terms to be i'm
posed upon our enemies In accordance
with those principles and left the de-
hates of the constitution Of the league
for later consideration. There Is,
believe, in France n very widespread
feeling in favor Of the league, and !
anticipate that this will find much
fuller expression when a settlement
with Germany has been formula ted.
The second criticism, that the league
does not provide France with the
guarantees which she needs, throws
upon the critics the burden of provid-
ing an alternative policy, and In this
they have so far failed. No argu-
ment will alter the plain fact that on
, one side of the future frontier there
will be some 100000 Germans and
on the other some 40, 900, 900 French.

and all the experience OF the past
shows that attempts to prevent a peo-
pie suffering from a grievance from
arming have ended in failure. In
that event no arrangement OF the
frontier can provide the numerically
weaker Power with real security.

The British people, Disguised with

less critical of the draft constitution

in order to save their works from de-
struction.
A debate took place in the French
Chamber OF Commerce, and during
that debate NJ. Eiviani, who was Prime
Minister of France at the outbreak OF
the war, stated that the French Gov
eminent had at the end of July. 1914,
ordered General Joffre TO withdraw all
French troops TO a distance OF ten
kilometers from the frontier in order
to avoid all possible danger that a sub
ordinate French officer might act in
such a way as to give the Germans
occasion for accusing the French of an
act OF aggression. At the same time
orders were issued forbidding French
patrols from entering either Belgium
or Switzerland. and French aircraft
from flying over Belgium. Switzerland
or Germany. The effect of these or
ders was that the iron fields of Briey
had TO be abandoned TO the enemy,
and further. Germany reaped the i'm
mense military advantage OF being
able to establish a military screen be-
hind which her preparations for her
attack upon France were developed in
secret.
Honor for NJ. viviani.
These orders do honor to NJ. Niviani's
Government and make its earnest de-
sire to preserve peace even at great
sacrifice patent, though they did not
prevent Germany from inventing the
fable that French airplanes had
bombed Nuremberg before the declara-
ton OF war. We may expect that n
democratic Government placed In the
future in the same position as that OF
NJ. Nivlani would act as he acted, and
in that case what military advantage
can strategic frontier possibly confer
at all comparable with the disadvan-
tage of an Irredtnta which will be a
perpetual source Of friction and dis
content? 1t is not in that way that
France can obtain security.
Sceptical critics of the league have
affirmed that security can only be OBJ
tained by perpetuatinG the alliance
which brought the allied associated
Powers victory. Any partial grouping
of the Powers must, however, sooner
or later end in the formation of a rival
group or return TO the old balance
of military power" which many Of
these critics frankly advocate. That
in turn can only end in renewal of
competition in ornaments. and in the
present state of Europe this would. 7
firmly believe, produce revolution and
chaos. For a generation at least none
of the European Powers will be In a
position to satisfy the just aspirations
OF their peoples for improved Condi-
tons of life and to spend upon arma-
ments one 1.-THE of what they spent
before the war.
1t is possible that hate and desire
for revenge might cause the German
people TO endure hardship and forego
social hetterment, but these forces
would not be operative among the
Allies The next generation forget
ting our sufferinGs, may think differ
entity and wish 10 return 10 the old
conditions, but we should at least give
our sons a chance OF escaping the ter
rible experiences through which We
have passed, and the only measure
which may possibly give them that
chance Is a League OF Nations. There
is grave danger that in Europe at
least tho only alternative TO a league
Is revolution.
