ganization the state has put in the

the S3O,OOO,0O0 fund being raised
in the United States for the relief
of war sufferers in the near east
He expressed himself as much pleas
cd and encouraged with the spirit
evidenced by the people of West Vir-
ginia and declared that such Chris
tian cause as Armenian and Syrian
relief cannot fail.

ONE CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

entirely much loose talk connection with the
serious of living problems which struggling
for solution Washington The fire of unrest cannot be sub
dued by continually adding fuel.
Our grandfathers tell the high which fol-
lowed the Civil They such to be hardship to the
wealthy north we'll the impoverished south took
time and patient counsel to get things readjusted.
One of the basic for the high prices the
fact that who should be producing wealth idle
and loafng There many thousands of
than there of producers With farms crying for labor
ers to food thousands obess all the
try and spending their time protests against the cost of what
they eat The thing holds good nearly every line of
industry
And yet with this condition staring face
men quitting work and still others threatening quit They
dooshy to reduce still further counrys
tive capacity and thus send still higher In the meantime
hey cut OIL their incomes and bring suffering
upon themselves and their families
The authorities appreciate the situation They are doing
everything human hasten the readjustnent

help most by keeping at work Whether one more

train that gets that bush potatoes he will
be helping the situation just to that extent
Russia has tried the experiment getting living without
working and knows the result 1t won't pan out
Loafng never solved problem the worlds history The
moment we become nation of oaers nonproducers that
moment Will come the end of things Strikes hutdowns
ana walkouts simply contributions toward that unhappy
day. rP'
The only who has any right kick about high prices is
e man VINO mas JOB and who doing days every day.
The man who refuses to work has right say ANYTHING be-
cause ne IS contributing nothing the remedy
IL IS a lesson every should bring home to himself
Are you producer o a non producer?
Are you loafer worker?

sometimes wife gets so she believes
that her husband tells the truth only
when he can't think up suitable lie.
And the fact that a girl looks like an
angel won't keep her from acting like
the devil after you get her.
There is also the kind of man who
wouldn't spend one minuSe resisting
temptation, but who will put in an hour
praying for forgiveness after it is all
over.
We would also like to know what a
man is going to do with stomach ache
now that he can't prescribe whisky for
himself like he used to?
With the red-nosed politicians ad =
ministering the ether SO the red osed
reformers can go ahead and operate,
all we can say is God help the country.
The trouble with these secret mar
riages is that too many of them result
in public divorces
If a man prospers because he has
sense enough to keep his mouth shut
the rest of us go around talking about
his dumb luck.
Scientists have quit telling us that
kissing is unhealthful. They discov-

widespread agitation concern
ing the future political status of Korea,
and the charges of foreign persecution
there, the National Geographic society
has issued bulletin concerning one cor

although Korea has civilization
extending nearly 1000 years into the
past, many of the natives in the north
have never seen white man." says the
bulletin, which is quoted from a COM
munication by Roy C. Andrews.
'They are living among the hills to-

turtles ago, worshipping mythical gods
in the rocks and trees on every noun

slavery, and dying in ignorance that

Wrapped in the mantle Of Oriental
seclusion, for centuries Korea success
fully guarded the secrets of her noun

clamor of foreigners at her doors could
NO longer be stilled, and she yielded
reluctantly inch by inch, although real

government were crumbling beneath
her.
'It was in 1882 that the first treaty
with Korea was signed by the United
States, and foreigners took up their
residence with official sanction at
Chemulpo. the seaport of the capital
Seoul. Even with this foothold in the
new country the unwelcome visitors
pushed their way but slowly into other
parts of the kingdom, and as late as
1897 only a relatively small portion had
been visited by white men.
after the Russian-Japanese war of
1904, however, when the country was

THE VICTORIOUS DEAD

THE tlCIOhlOUS DEAD
Alfred Moves in the Golden Peace Mum.
Der of The London Mail.
Peace? I recall an acre of the dead
Marked with the only sign on earth that
saves,
The wings of death were hurrying over
The loose earth shook on those unquiet
graves
For the deep gunpits, with quick stabs of
flame,
Made their own thunders of the sunlit
air;
Yet-as 1 read the crosses, name by name
Rank after rank, it seemed that peace
was there.
Sunlight and peace-a peace too deep for
thought,
The peace of tides that underlie our
strife,
The peace with which the moving heav-
ems are fraught,
The peace that is our everlasting life.
The loose earth shook. The very hills
were stirred
The silence of the dead was all heard.
A little while we may not see their eyes.
Or touch their hands. for they are far
too near;
But, soul to soul, the life that never dies
Speaks to the life that waits its free
dom here.
They have made their land one living
shrine.
Their words s4..svs
Are breathed in dew and whiteness from
the bough; M
And, where the May tree shakes with
song of birds,
Their young unwhispered joys are sing
ing now.
BY meadow and mountain. river and haw-
thorn brake,
In sacramental peace, from sea to sea.
The land they loved Grows lovelief for
their sake
Shines with their hope. .enshrines their
memory,
Communes with heaven again, and
makes us whole,
Through mans new faith in mans
immortal soul

Expatriated Heiresses
Longing for America

a MEXICAN heiresses who married
GA noblemen of Germany, Austria
and Hungary are reported in parlous
state. For the first time in their
lives many of them are on the verge
of actual want and most of them are
in "greatly reduced circumstances, !"
as result of the war and the seizure
of their property in America by the
alien property custodian.
Quite naturally, they bewail the
"heartlessness" of their native country
and consider themselves extremely i'll
used. One "dollar" princess is quoted
as saying, "our position . pitable. Our
money has been confiscated by Amer
lea and some of US are almost penni-
less. We are now less popular than
ever in Germany, and letters from
home have it that we are not wanted
in America" q
But the door of hope is not entire
ly closed to these women who bought
Teutonic titles with their fathers
money. 1t is rumored in Berlin that
they may be allowed to return, bring
ing along their husbands who will
not require much urging, since it is
a choice between poverty abroad and
affluence in America The noblemen
will be permitted to drop their now
worthless titles and become American
citizens by naturalization.
There will be little sympathy felt in
this country for American-born prin-
cesses, countesses and duchesses who
were hard hit by the war. Their pre-
dicament will be regarded as a fine
piece of retributive justice. In a few
cases, such marriages may be love af-
fairs, but far too often they are. mer-
cenary. . shameless barter and sale.
