WONDERFUL WIFE RECOGNIZED.
washington Times.


Women are loyal to their husbands
through trial and tribulations, because
they were prepared for trouble be-
forehand. Men seldom appreciate
this. It is refreshing to find. in the
will of Major Charles G. Baird, killed
in France, tribute to his wife. He
writes:
AT this time I want to say to the
world that my wife, in my estimation,
is the most perfect woman | ever saw
heard or knew of. She is endowed
with marvellous courage, a very strong
will and an intensely big ideal of
honor.
Her love has never at any time
diminished but has grown always,
until feel that it has reached q point
that can be reasonably considered tho
acme of perfect love. / am the richest
of men. in that am blessed with the
truest, most honorable and loving
wife in the world"
Major Baird also said in his will
that he had never broken any pledge
or promise to his wife, nor had he
ever deceived her or told her false
hood, except as were necessary to
please and surprise her. as in the
purchase of gifts.
Undoubtedly Major Baird was
blessed with wonderful wife.

TAKING NOTICE OF NEWSSTAND.

The Mexican situation is receiving
heretofore. The association of Amer
| leans for protection of property in the
disturbed republic IS doing effective
publicity work. An agent of the asso-
| citation is visiting cities on the border
and to secure members. Chambers
of commerce are being interested.
The delegation sent to Paris he's
had influence in starting international
pressure upon the United States adj
ministration to stiffen its attitude to-
ward Carranza.
Apparently the fresh assurances
coming from Mexico that there will be
no conflscation of oil lands is due to
the signs that this nation and the
allies will not stand for the Carranza
program.
One entire page of the New York
Times was last week occupied by n
careful computation of the losses of
American investments in Mexico AMI
a discussion of the outlook The ac-
tual physical damages We're fixed at
$50 100000. This did not include
losses from having to suspend opera
tons, loss of income or depreciation
of values of property which cannot
be sold under present conditions, nor
be restored to previous market value
for many years to come. The Ameri-
can properties in Mexico were valued
at $4,000, 600 prior to the revolu-
tionary period, and more than half of
that amount had actually been invest
ed in plants and property which en-
ployed many thousands of men and
gave Mexico more material prosperity
than the country reached through the
initiative of its own citizens. The Times
data was prepared by a former consul
of this country. who was stationed at
Monterey. He computes ultimate loss
of foreign investments at $50O,000,000
if the CarranZa program goes through
for confiscation Of oil and the pur-
chase of privately owned lands,
though the latter may be paid for
with state bonds that would be of
little value.
The author concludes that the nG-
tional pressure now seemingly about
to be eXerted will deter Mexico from
going ahead with her scheme.

SURPRISING FATHER

Co. (The New York Evening World.
soup with the other Anyway, she
left and she wasn't very friendly,
either. l guess father was the mad,
dest of any one; he said she'd taken
the rolling pin with her.
Mother made the bread next day.
1t was real good, too. OF course,
didn't happen to get any of the glass,
but sister did and it cut her lip so
she couldn't go to the movies with
Frank. Mother and sister had an
argument, something about sloppy
cooking and not sitting the flour, but
l didn't listen.
The next night mother found a
chunk of glass in the cream dressing
over the asparagus, and a couple of
days later she pretty nearly cut a
tooth out with a glass splinter when
she was eating home buns she'd made
for breakfast
She claimed one of the cooks father
had driven out was BolsheViki-Tll
admit Mary looked like one--and she
told the policeman on the corner that
some one was rying to kill her fam
lily with broken glass. He must have
reported it because next day detec-
tive came UP and made an examina-
ton.
Father helped-that is, he did at
first, but after they found the broken
glass rolling pin at the bottom of the
flour barrel he lost interest and went
and sat in the parlor.
Father hasn't had much to say since
then, every time he opens his mouth
mother reminds him that it was only
through her talking nice to the de-
tective that he was saved from going
to Jail as a would be murderer.
He told me privately that the only
thing that worried him was how
Maggie ever broke the rolling pin
without being heard or succeeded in
getting the pieces int othe flour with
out being seen.
Mother gave the rest of the barrel
of flour to the ice man and she sent
the busted rolling pin down with the
garbage, that was what hurt father;
it's the only one of his wrecks he
hasn't been able to keep.
No. we haven't had anything new
up there since then; fathers under
oath not to buy any. and were all
breathing easy, that is. we are when
we can forget the folding stepladder.
You see that's never gotten busy yet.

!, GLIMPSE OF THE WAR ZONE.

W. -. AhNNIllltS III l-OHlit
In the 1000 miles auto trip over
eastern France, Belgium. Lixemberg
and western Germany. one is brought
face to face with the exhaustion of
war. The man of from 20 to 80 years
of age is gone, killed or disabled.
Horses have been largely destroyed
by war or eaten. In ten days ride
saw one hog, one flock of about 100
sheep and one flock of seven sheep.
In a pasture about so miles from
Paris l counted one herd of 80 cows.
in another group seven cows. I am
sure so additional would aggregate all
the cattle | saw in pastures in the 10
days. Cows are used before the pillow
as freely as horses. In the war re-
gion you see crowds of German pris-
oners filling up shell holes and trench
es, but as in this section the houses
are destroyed. great tracts of land are
not being farmed this year. The pop
ulation has not returned. Even in
Luxembourg food and animals are
scarce. because everything has been
sold to the Germans at fancy prices
Germany is hungry, From informa-
ton coming to me | am under the i'm
preston any thousands have died of
malnutrition, if not actual starvation,
I was informed by some of our Off
Gals, stationed east of the Rhine. that
condemned United States army horses
were sold for food at prices running
as high as $500. Our government is
beginning to- relieve suffering in our
bridgehead around Coblenz.

THE COMING OF THE BRIDES.


Twenty-one war brides came in on
a single ship recently and along with
them the happy husbands. 1t follows
that there Will shortly be going on
some interesting exchanges of intro
duction in American homes. The
flood, however. will come later. when
the bridal ship arrives with the crowd
for which corps of officers at Paris
is now making out passports. Many
brides We're not able to leave on the
ships that brought their husbands
home, and it appears that arrange
ments are under way by which the
large crowd of "left-overs' may be re-
turned en- masse, as 1t were. 1t is just
about the sort of aggregation that
could be picked out at any county
fair some little bit better looking
than others.

every Williams man thrill with pride,

the public service and was not per-

signed, even the latter was driving an
ambulance in connection with an
army camp.

A COMING QUESTION.

The blockade against Germany is
likely to be raised soon, and trade
between ourselves and the Germans
resumed. The flow at first will be
from us to them-of foodstuffs and
of raw materials. But before long
Germany will be exporting, not only
potash, chemicals and dyes. but also
metal manufactures and fabrics.
Experts who have been in Ger
many concur in the opinion that the
Germans are in position to resume
production more quickly than anyone
else in Europe, once they have Sc
cured raw materials.
The German plants are intact. Many
of them already have orders from
neutral countries to keep them en-
ployed for quite long period. One
reason that induced Germany to sign
at Versailles was the consciousness
of her Industrial opportunity the mo-
ment the blockade was raised.
Germany probably will have anoth-
er Immense asset. abundant and cheap
labor. If German labor Is to be en-
ployed at all, it must accept low
wages and long hours. True. it may
revolt. But if German psychology can
be trusted German labor will shortly
be grateful for employment at low
wages and long hours.
All Europe. including Great Britain,
is under compulsion to begin produc-
ton as soon as possible. and to pro-
duce as cheaply as possible. How
soon Europe will be able to get going
again remains to be seen. The point,
however, for our consideration is this
that sooner than might have been ex-
pected we shall commence to feel
European competition, not only in the
markets abroad, but injuriously In
our own domestic markets.
Conditions change fast these days
and by this time next year, when the
presidential campaign is in full swing
it may be found that the need of tariff
protection Will be the question that
will most occupy mems minds.
We have been relieved of that need
since August 1914, by reason of Eu-
ropes suspension of industry, except
for war end of the cessation of Ger
man expectation. But the experience
of the first seven months of 1914
demonstrated the inadequacy of the
! present tariff to protect American in
dustries and to pay American wages.
Then the war stepped in to operate
as a substitute for a protective tariff.
With peace, the substitute is with
drawn, and of the moment we are left
exposed to worldwide competition.
Such competition promises to become
intense sooner than had been sup
posed
Of course. the arlff-for-reyenue-

The Latest Labor Saving Device for
the Housewife Works Too We'll.

You know how it is with a per-
son who's interested in mechanics
they spend three hours fixing up a
machine so they can do a job IN twice
as long as it would take by hand
that's like father. Mother says he has
the labor saving habit. She doesn't
mean that fathers lazy-he's too busy
finding something to work for him to
be called that-what she means is
that he haunts the stores looking for
the latest invention to relieve the
housewife of drugery-mother sails
them "contraptions,' and he has the
largest collection in existence. OF
course most of them wouldn't work
but you can't discourage father; he
was born with q discourage-p proof
constitution.
The latest thing father brought
home was a folding stepladder. That
hasn't wrecked anything-yet.
Before the stepladder was the
clock with the electric alarm that
rang for an hour the night Aunt Lucy
got sick with the flu, and father had
to get up so he could climb under
her bed to get at the batteries.
told you about the glass rolling
pin? No? Well, We had the police in
for that and mother got so excited
she forgot father and blamed it on
the Bolsheviki.
I'll say this for father. he always
has an eye to mothers comfort when
he buys anything, like he did when
he bought the gas iron that blew up
and burned her hand. I guess that's
what prompted him to get the glass
rolling pin He said the clerk told
him it wouldn't stick to the dough
and that it could be worked with one
hand.
The few cooks we've been able to
capture up at our house never got on
real well with father. It's funny, too,
because he'd even 20 in the kitchen
sometimes and tell them good ways
of washing dishes or cooking. Any
way, pretty soon after the rolling
pin came to live with us the cook left
one night before dinner-father says
he didn't. but mother says she heard
him telling Maggie how to use the
rolling pin with one hand and stir the

THE MILLENNIUM, 1919 OR 1925?
New Yprk NVorId

1t appears that the aged prebend
of st. Paul's cathedral in London did
not forecast the end of the world by
the end of 1919. as reported in recent
news columns. He did but cite the
opinion of friend who has become
convinced from 10 years study of the
great pyramid that structural details
in that ancient building indicate a
very solemn worlds crisis for about
the close of the present year. So the
incident in prophecy becomes a sort
of corollary to the recent heralding
by Russellite preacher over here of
the millennium as an event OF 1895.
