1t DO fun to have 1t stop for W. ana
carry US miles and miles awayf"
Into a thrilling adventure.
added Peggy. ...,
"Waw- 90 ooo!" sounded the auto,
now very near, and right on top OF
its shrek came another shrek OF .
different kind. Hoo! Hoo! Too!
Too! Get out in the road, Princess
Peggy! Get out in the road,
Too"
That's Judge Owl! He's is in the
auto" exclaimed Billy. Selling Peg
gy by the hand, he drew her out
into the road.
Around a curve flashed two glar-
Ing lights and a huge motor car
came tearing toward them. They
were at the side OF the road and
seemed in no danger, but suddenly
the auto hit bad spot in the high
way, swerving quickly and plunged
straight at them.
Billy tried to jerk Peggy out OF
the way, but she fell right in the
path OF the roaring machine.
"Whee-t- ee-eee." roared power
full brakes. and the auto, rearing
like suddenly checked runaway
horse, came to a stop so close that
one wheel caught Peggy's dress.
Gracious me- It's Peggy and
Billy! Hop right in" shouted
voice as Billy pulled Peggy free
from the wheel, and there was the
Prince of Dollars lookind down at
them.
Peggy and Billy. though shaking
bit from the narrowness of their
escape, didn't need a second invita-
ton. They ran around to the door
of the auto and climbed In. Whir-
iriririr. purred the engine. and
away they went so fast they could
scarcely see the trees along the
road.
I'm going to search the whole
world over for my lost mermaid"
shouted the Prince Of Dollars to
them. 'I'll climb mountains: I'll
drive through rivers: I'll dash into
fire to find her and make her
mine"
Hoo, Hoo, You speak true! All
that you'll do. and lots more. too.'
Peggy and Billy looked around.
There was Judge Owl Clinging to
the back of the seat and looking
very solemn.
Tomorrow will be told how Judge Owls
prophecy begins to come true.)

NATIONAL ANTHEMS.
Field Is Open Now for New and Re-
yised Patriotic Songs


Buried in the scrapheaps of war
standards are some of the national
anthems which have stirred the
blood of many peoples with patriot
ism or revolt.
Soon the worlds productivity is
due to be augmented with a new
peace time crop-a crop of revised
and renovated national anthems
not to mention the tunes and stan
zas which will soon be f1Ourishing
in the fertile field offered by the long
list of new nations. Some of these
nations never have had a national
anthem, except that thrust upon
them by the decree Of an expressing
government, since the days when
chanted fables and lifting folksongs
went out of style in favor of this
more modern form of crystallizing
national ideals and ambitions.
In Germany, Russia, Austria, Hun
gary and Turkey genius should be
at work by now evolving some stir
ring expression of new era to take
the place Of national anthems which,
though they will doubtless remain as
songs, certainly have lost their
powerful popular appeal they once
had. Russia's "Bozhe Zaria Chra-
ny" God protect the czar) probably
would still stir up fighting blood in
Petrograd, but it has lost its ap-
propriateness.
Poor battered Serbia probably will
still try to sing its old national song.
God in His Goodness France,
Belgium, England, Italy and Amer
lea have added new glories to their
famous songs.
But this is the day Of the small
nation. Lithuania, the pride and
bulwark Of Europe in the days when
the Tartars and Mongols were driven
back by the forces Of Vytautas, has
never had a national anthem. When
last Lithuania was free, folksongs.
the spontaneous expression Of an
cient glory and fable, were the only
national music the kingdoms of Eu-
rope had evolved. The Jugo Slavs,
the Czecho-S lovaks, Poland, Estho-
mia, Lettland, White Russia, Ukrai-
mia and perhaps other new states
will soon be contributing new ma
tional music to the worlds list Of
great songs born of intense feelings.
War has always been a powerful
inspiration to the poet and the mu-
sician. The freedom of these long
dominated people should produce
something worth while.-New York
Tribune.

Denatured German Diplomats
Divers names, too numerous to mention if

Divers names, too numerous to mention if
they were worth mentioning, have been pro-
posed at Berlin, in 4 somewhat jumbing, hest
tant trial balloon manner, of German diplo-
matists, selected or said to be selected, as
German ambassadors to the United States and
other countries. What difference does it make
what German diplomatist is selected? They
i were all brought up in the same treacherous
and dishonest school. They all bear the same
faint. The hideous crimes perpetrated and at
Tin many different countries during the
have sufficiently instructed us in German diplo-
| macy. These men practiced in war little
more hagitiously the ordinary arts of German
diplomacy.
A German embassy is primarily great
Icredited. As counselor of the German embassy
lat London the egregious Won Bernstorff re-
Ehearsed his brilliant performance of "The Com
lplete Spy" in this country. There are grada-
lions in the manner of German diplomatists
but substantially none in their methods
Wherever they are. they spy. out the land; they
ttry to control the citizens of German origin in
LII; they work to steal its business secrets, to
Fuse il for German benefit, in case of need to
fembroil it with other countries. They are per-
lfectly crooked in their methods, absolutely
Trustworthy. The worse they are. the better
us their standing if they are not found out.
Till German diplomacy is denatured of its
Eguile and its falsehoods-in short till every
Thing which characterzes it has been changed
Tor removed-how can anybody trust it. and
tMhat difference does it make who is the Ger
Imam ambassador? There has got to be
fchange of heart. conviction of sin, contrition,
Repentance resolve to lead a new life" Till
1.-THE German people show that perhaps it is too
tmuch to expect it OF German diplomats; but a
NEW and honest German diplomacy would
{greatly contribute to international good rela
Itions in the future.-New York Times,

RESERVATIONS.

The senate committee on foreign relations
has fairly met the challenge of the president,
presenting its answer in form of definitely
framed reservations relating to the terms of the
League of Nations compact. These deal di-
rectly with the covenant as it affects the
interests of the United States, and undertake
only to safeguard the future of the country.
First the senate asks that the right of with
drawa from the league be made unconditional
for the United States. Second, that this coun-
try be not held to guarantee the integrity of
another from external aggression, to assume
any mandatory, or to declare war without the
consent of congress. Third, that determination
of domestic questions be left exclusively to
the United States. Fourth, that we be per-
mitted in the future as in the past to place our
own Interpretation on the Monroe doctrine
Does anyone find in these formal statements
of policy and principle anything that endangers
the peace of the world? Do they contain any
element of threat against another country? Are
they not in form and in fact expressive of de-
sire to secure the safety and perpetuity of our
liberty and our national institutions?
If wise and patriotic statesmen have de-
termined after careful consideration that the
language of the covenant should be made
clearer by an official construction on part of
this country, so far as its welfare is in
VOWED or its own great powers are engaged, is
it sufficient answer to say the reservations
emanate from "pigmy mnds?" Have all the pa
triotism philanthropy, moral and material re-
sources of people been comprised in the
group that proposes to swallow whole the
league covenant?
1t will be interesting to have the president
deal specifically with these reservations, if he
be so minded. Will he squarely join issue with
the senate, and say the reservations are neither
wise nor patriotic?

act of reciprocity for the British

very pleasant there at her summer
home by the lake-pleasant and
restful.
A breeze was whispering bedtime
stories to the leaves Of the trees:

light concert; frogs in a distant bog
were croaking rollicking college
songs.
Peggy's ears drank in all these
sounds like sweet music, but her
mind was far away.

Sportsman and Statesman.

Probably the only man who was
present at the signing of the peace
treaty which concluded the Franco
Prussian war in 1871, as we'll as
the treaty ending the late world
conflict, is Lord Dunraven. the noted
sportsman, soldier and politician. In
his early days he was war CORE
spondent for a London newspaper,
and it was in that capacity that he
went through the siege Of Paris and
later was present at Versailles when
the peace treaty was signed. Lord
Dunraven's family is one of the few
of Irish origin in the Irish peerage
and claims to be descended from
one of the early kings of Ireland.
The present holder of the title has
