My young brother Billie was mis- chievous, and had to be watched care fully. Mother was busy making q birthday gift one afternoon, and Johnny and l were playing near her, with orr dog Jim.
 Suddenly mother said: "Where's Billie?a
 We said we didn't know, so were sent to find him. I looked everywhere. When I came to the bathroom, there was Billie in the tub which he'd filled with water, and he had his clothes on.
 "C'm in" he said, and I scrambled in too
 We were enjoying ourselves im- mensely when in came Johnny, drag ging the dog Jim. He managed to get Jim and himself in the tub, and we all had a fine time splashing
 Suddenly mother entered. "Out of that tub" she ordered We got out. "Undress and go to bed al cnce" We went, supperless.-Ex Exchange

E YER since the curtain rose on the
 L drama of fall and winter fash ions the discerning practical woman has found reason to congratulate her self in the matter of coat styles. They are of simplicity that warrants their wear everywhere and of beauty that makes glad the heart. Some of them are nothing more than eapes with sleeves added, all of them are cut in long and almost unbroken lines, eX- cept those made of fabrics that initiate furs, which follow the lines of the coats made of skins. Yelours, duve- tyn, bolivia, and similar soft and pli- able cloths give grace and comfort to the coats for this winter and high fur collars, that fit snugly, top them off with the luxury of fur. Occasion- ally there are cuffs of fur and where there is no fur at all, very ample muller collars of cloth, or crepe col lars, provide the same suggestion of comfort, aideti by the fact that coats are long enough to reach to the bot tom of the dress skirt.

 The suit at the right is as unusual as to its coat, as it's companion. This coat is noteworthy because of its full, rippled skirt which begins at the front by adopting the average length of coat, but adds both length and full ness as it progresses toward the back Imagine 1t in brown cheviot with the large motifs about the waistlne em- broidered in silk to match. or in any other of the seasons favorite colors that look we'll with sealskin. which is used for the wide collar.

 The second coat is one of those wov en fur garments that look so much like seaIskin Womes who like the richness of fur, but have scruples against it ought to be pleased with this model, for it is hard to distin- guish the fabric from the pelt, Real fur is used for the wide collar, plain cuffs and shaped bands on the pock- cts, and there are many kinds that might be employed. as skunk, squirrel fox, beaver. The coat hangs almost straight, with a slight flare toward the bottom at the back, emphasized by a band of fur placed as a border.

Mr.. Keynes believes that Germany
should be nursed back to life and
strength in the same manner that the
farmer in Esop's Fables nursed and
warmed in his bosom the serpent which
later destroyed him. Despite the folly
Of the pacifsts and the guile Of the
pro-Germans Mr.. Keynes may rest as
sured that the common sense and the
instinct of self preservation Of the
Allied nations will not permit any
policy Of this kind to como into effect.
It is gross impertinence for Mr..
Keynes to talk Of vengeance" on the
part Of the Allies. The utmost which
they have permitted themselves is an
economic restraint calculated to post
pone the day Of Germany's industrial
and military strength in the hope that
in the meantime Germany will expert
ence a change of heart, reverse her
two-thousand-year-old attitude toward
the rest Of the world and become law
abiding and civilized nation.

The German Revolution

The overturn in Berlin which brings
back the crew that was responsible
for the war and its ruthlessness has
long been foreseen.
The Scheidemann-Ebert republic
has been non-deceptive camouf1age.
The Kaiser, as Ludendorff's book has
made plain, was asked to leave, not
because he was a war-maker, but be-
cause he was an unsuccessful war
maker, and because it was believed a
republican Germany could get bet
ter terms than an imperial one. Ger
many saw her best hope was in max
ing the world think she was a re-
formed and chastened Germany and
could be trusted to be good.
The scheme worked. The coun-
tries Of the Allies, alas! have an over
population of fools, and it has be-
come fashionable to spread the glad
tidings that the war was not won by
brave soldiers and supreme personal
sef-sacrifce, but by dropping copies
Of President Wilson's speeches from
seroplanes. Did not the President
himself intimate the other day that
propaganda brought the good re-
suit? A vast enginery of deceit is
even now working full blast to estab-
lish the idea that the Germans sud-
denly fell under conviction of sin
and lost all heart to fight when Creel
circulars told them they were wrong.
Germany deems it no longer neces-
sary to keep up the farce and thinks it
Is safe to be Germany once more. Con-
ceivably the neutrality-suspicious.
will resist the counter revolution, for
some Of them are sincere; but such
resistance Is improbable and would
not be in accord with German history
sr psychology. The normal German
does not much prize political free
donl-likes to be ordered about by a
kaiser whom he admires and trem-
bles before.
Thus events make their grim COM
ment on the preachments of those
who don't see any reason why
France should dtstrust future Ger
man conduct or any reason why
there should be a perpetuation of the
alliance which nominally triumphed
N one great war but which may lose
the next one.

France and Reparations

The French attitude toward q
modification of the reparations
clauses of the treaty was clearly
stated by ex-President Poincare
when he recently conferred the Croix
de Guerre on the City Of Verdun.
His appearance in Verdun closed the
series of official visits which he had
been making to the martyred towns
of Northeastern France.
In his speech M. Poincare, who is
to be a member of the Reparations
Commission, pictured the ancient
fortress on the Meuse as giving this
advice:
II know the Germans. Don't, let
them believe that there is any possi-
bility Of weakening on our part.
However incomplete it may be-, the
treaty itself gives US the means to
make it respected. We are en-
powered to use coercion in order to
realize It's vital clauses. In case Of
any failure to live up to its obliga-
tx tions we have the right to postpone
the evacuation Of the occupied ter
ritory.
"Whatever Germany's attitude may
be, let US begin by assuring our
selves that her disarmament will be
effective and that she will not recon-
stitute, in the shadow, her power Of
conquest"
To this counsel il. poincarsr ADDED
New-York tribune., 1920-03-14


words of his own, as follows: ",There
Is no good Frenchman who can wish
TO reduce, in nature or form, the
reparations to which the crimes Of
Germany entitle us and which are
guaranteed to us by the rules laid
down in the Treaty of Versailles"
That is the French view Of the
problem Of reparations. It is a view
based on justice. 1t runs contrary to
the view based on alleged economic
expediency and "peace without VIC
tory" enunciated by Mr.. Keynes and
the other advocates of letting Ger
many escape easily.
Frances policy Of security may
seem harsh to the Keynes school of
revisionists. Possibly, if pushed to
extremes, it may weaken France at
the same time that it weakens Ger
many. But it is an insuperable OBJ
stacle to the easy remission of Ger
man penalties which is now being
proclaimed as the sole means of the
economic restoration of Europe.
If France is to be asked to sur
render her financial reparations.
what equivalent is she to obtain?
The Keynes school would deny her
the Saar Valley coal and all other
territorial compensation except AL
sace-Lorraine. But how can new
treaty be made, as Mr.. Keynes now
suggests, without French consent? =?
And how are the French to be per-
suaded to renounce their right to
prolong their occupation of the
Rhine provinces if Germany fails to
execute the provisions of ths exist
ing treaty?

The Candidates Barrage
(From The Detroit JournoD


We trust that the political friends
Of Herbert Hoover prepared him
against the hard words the Presiden-
tial boom has brought showering over
his person. Lacking armor, tho shafts
and darts are likely to dig into parts
Of him he had never before suspected
Of sensitiveness. The crust Of the
average Office seeker Is . matter Of
long, slow development. It corrs-
spends to the evolutionary alteration
Of the armadillo's protective covering,
from tender skin, through hides, to
plates capable Of turning bullets. Mr.
Hoover is wanting in this advantage.
Should he decide to puncture his boom
the decision will turn, It is likely. more
upon distasts for the barrags Of raw
language than disinelination e sun
the chances of defeat.
