through the shack, and all the timbers groan and
crack. and doors begin to slam. Last eve set out

LODGE CONES TO BoRAHs VIEW

The following from the New York Sun declares the
enator Lodge has accepted the fundamentals the
tion taken by Senator Borah the league of nation
s it is proposed to perpetuate it:
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts performed
public service of the highest order when in his
speech to the Middlesex club Boston Satur-
day evening he called for the restoration of
international policy to its historic basis. He char
acterized our present departure from our tradi-
tional attitude in this manner:
"Our representative has taken upon him
self to be the arbiter of every single question
that has arisen in Europe.
How do you think they feel about
representative today--not the American peo-
pie, but the representative of the American
peope-for medd1ng in trivial questions?
WE MUST CEASE MEDDLING IN EU-
ROPEAN QUESTIONS; WE Do NOT WANT
THEM TO NEEDLE IN OURS.
To-day there is bitter feeling in Italy
against us where months ago they were burn
ing candles before the picture of our president.
THE best method of preserving peace is to
let people settle their own affairs"
The italian people in their instructive enthusi-
astic support of their government have answered,
and answering today, the questions put by
Senator Lodge. Not only have they ranged them
selves behind Premier Orlando with impressive
unanimty, but the fire of Italian patriotism blazes
states
manship in danger of being consumed in its
flame and a situation that at best delicate may
easily become dangerous The massing of italian
troops and the call for JugoSav soldiers, of which
reports constantly reach this country give the key
to the of the situation. In these demon
strations the dreams of those who against all ex-
perience, believed the peoples of Europe were
tired of they would grasp eagerly at any peace
rudely shattered.
When President Wilson arrived In this country
February "a and addressed his fellow countrymen
from a Boston platform he said:
And, in the midst OF it all, every interest
seeks out, first of all, when it reaches Paris
the representatives of the United States. Why2
Because-and think stating the most
wonderful fact in history-because there is
nation in Europe that suspects the motives Of
the United States"
The for this confidence gratifying to
found in contribution to the victory Ger
many and Austria Hungary but In disnter-
ested attitude toward European politics In all the
years of national history. The way to preserve
that confidence is to maintain ancient policy.
The way to lose it is to become involved in the
quarrels of Europe which do not touch inter-
ests-in Senator Lodges words, to NEEDLE in Euro
epan questions.

"Peace Nerves."

N LONDON nerve specialist says that
|N\ "war nerves. are not so bad as
|IA\ "peace nerves'-that is, the nerves
that accompany peace-making.
During military campaign, he explains,
the people can fight their hardships and
depression with the mental stimulation of
combat They can, and generally do, rise
to the emergency precisely because the
emergency is so great. But with peace
comes a lessening of the stimulus, let
ting down of the keyed-up courage and a
depression which may sink as low as the
previous exaltation scared high. In this
period Of dependency the public is prone
to magnify difficulties and hardships, to
exaggerate grievances, to add unintention-
ally to the flames of controversy and to
plunge into abnormal pleasures for relief
from the strain and gloom.
In this way he explains the inordinate
amount Of drinking and dancing in various
belligerent capitals, the grumbling discon-
tent that has broken out again and again
in every allied country during the peace
settlement, and the present crisis in Italy.
They are all manifestations of abnormal
psychology, which in view of the profound
mental and spiritual disturbances caused
by the war might have been expected.
This is plausible and charitable ex-
planation of many things for which critics
have been inclined to pronounce harsh
Judgment. Viewed as pathological phe-
nomena, these various outbreaks of temper
and passion call for tolerant and friendly
Treatment.

HOW TO GR low
CUCUMBERS.

Two to five hills of cacumbers Us
ually will produce enough for the or
binary family. Cucumbers require con-
siderable space, and for that reason
they. may not fit into the scheme of
small gardens. 1t is possible, how
ever, to plant the cucunlbers along a
fence or near a building and train the
vines on a support of wire or strings
so that they will not cucumber the
ground or occupy the space required
by other crops.
In making the hills or the row In
which the seeds are planted small
amount of well-decayed manure
should be mixed with the soil. A lit

LITTLE STORIES OF THE NATIONS
Albert Barrett Sayres----
The

A we have seen. the struggle for
~ hrst place in Europe. during the
period we are discussing, lay be-
tween Spain and France. with France
gradually forging to the front In the
mean time a deadly blow was struck
against Spain, and new commonwealth
arose in Europe.
The Netherlands had been brought to-
eether under the dukes OF Burgundy,
and later had passed to the King of
SPAIN They were a most important
part OF the Spanish kingdom, for no
where north of the Alps were there so
many great and rich cities near together
But the bad government of the Spanish
kings, and. above all. the cruclties of
the Spanish governor. led to a revolt.
This began in 1865 and lasted well on to
1909.
The great leader Of the revolt of the
Netherlands was William, Prince OF
Orange called the Silent. His principal
iiy was one OF the small f1efs OF the
kingdom OF Burgundy, which had not
been seized by France. although 1t was
