ONLY ONE ANSWER.

Heretofore efforts have been. made to have this country give it's consent to the acceptance of the mandate for Armenia
 By the action of the allied supreme council, even after% our position was known, in formally asking this country
 to accept such a mandate there has been a definite move made, and as the result it will be disclosed equally definitely
 how the United States stands.
 The adjustment of the after war prob- lems is no easy matter and it is of course
 understood that this country is favored | by Armenia, and it is believed it's neigh bors also, for the job of directing the af- fairs of the new republic if any nation is going to assume the responsibility. That | of course makes us feel good, but it isn't | sufficient to cause us to depart from our well established policy of keeping our hands off of such matters in that part of 1 the world, even though our purpose would be unquestioned. , When the mat l ter is put up to us, on humanitarian | grounds it is fully appreciated that we | would not be seeking benefit to ourselves | in financial way should we undertake 1 to accept a mandate there or elsewhere
 in spite of the fact that other nations
 are doing that very thing in taking cer- | tain parts of the broken up Turkish em- pire under their wing. It would involve large expense, probably a considerable
 army and no little sacrifice for this
 country to undertake such a job, but it | is not because we haven't the welfare of
 the Armenians sufficiently at heart, or
 that we cannot get enough out of it that l we are not in favor Of accepting the mandate.
 The fact is, as has been plainly set forth repeatedly, that we are opposed
 to getting mixed up in the entanglements of Europe, and it must be realized that the chances are more than good for plen- ty of such arising from the guidance of
 the Armenian republic in the way that
 this country would insist upon it's going | Armenia is out of our sphere of in
 fiuence and while it will have our sin cere sympathy and get our help in sucI ways as we can give it, there can be b1l } one answer to the allied councils propo sition and that is the negative reply tha it must expect.

THE PRIMARIES.

was not so many years ago that the primary was regarded as the only possi- biai way in which the large expenditure of .lnoney could be checked and fair expfession of the people obtained fin con- neelion with the selection of delegates to national conventions. The primary was adfpcatsd to knock out the convention sysfem which was held to be unrepresen- tarve and subject to corruption.
 fiIst how much has been gained by the Fhfst from conventions to primary would be,hard for even the most ardent advo- ras to point out in view of the light in- terHst that is taken on rhe part of those who it was desired to especially favor by Ewing them a chance to express their wishes. And it does not appear that the primary means necessarily reduction fir the expenditure of money, or that after i, has been held it does not necessarily mean that the expressed will of the peo. pie is going to be ultimately carried out
 The fact is that those who are select cd as delegates to national convention. are no better instructed or prepared to dc as those they represent desire them thar ware those who were named by the old time conventions. and as far as brlnRins abp1t a reduction in the expense of nam ing delegates the result has been just tn, opposite. The fact is that more none, than ever is being spent, and unques tionably spent properly because of tn. primary. since It is necessary for tn, candidates to conduct campaigns not oni, foE-fhe election but for the non1inatior and those arc fashiOned on broad line.

the modern-the passengers stand as they do on some American ferry boats.
 Despite it's past obscurity is one or the oldest cities of Europe. It was the seat of the Illyrian kings ten centuries before Christ. As the descendants of the tribes of those times the Albanians have lienage far older than most European nationals. Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor states It is reasonable to regard them as the most ancient people of southeast ern Europe descendants of the Pelasgi.
 "In northern Albania feudal and tribal practices of the middle ages sur vive, and the light impress Constanti- l nople's rule made upon Scutari itself is denoted by a traveller who reported that, 1 upon one occasion, gendarme pointed | to a passerby and said, with admiration, ] That is a brave man, much respected !; 1 he has killed more of his fellow towns men than any other Scutarine,'
 But 1he World War drought AL banians into sudden contact with modern ideals, and, like some of the mountain people of our own country, they won admiration for fiAe physique and keen minds, unimpaired by soft living. First the Austrians overran Albania pushing south of Scutari to Durazzo, in Febru-
 ary, 1916; but they were routed by the
 Italians who proclaimed Albania an in- dependent country in June 1917, and set up provisional government at Du-
 razzo.

 "Scenically, Scutari suggests Geneva. nestling between the limpid waters of Lake Scutari, with it's verdant islets, and the mountains of northern Albania, snow-capped for the greater part of the year, rising to form an Alp-like back ground.
 "But the comparison ceases with the setting.

DIFFICULTIES TO BE AVOIDED

In connection with the plan of giving lhsso who entered the service of their ,otntry during the recent war a bonus n addition 10 what has already been re- .eCed. it is being made perfectly evil lent that there is something more than deciding that such a bonus should be Ei~en. deciding what the amount shall ,e. who shall get 1t. and voting the nec- ssary amount of money.
 .I the national treasury was filled r. 1verfowing go that 1t was not known E~st 10 do with 1t. the problem would be simnlihed As 1t Is not full and as a iarse deficit Is promised this year. a insstion of considerable importance is in- Foivcd in determining how the money Tor the bonus is going to be raised if and when the bonus is voted.
 Naturally the first thought is of a bond issue. But this country has been Issuing an unprecedented amount ot bonds in the past few years and it is fir O position where the issuance of more would not only depress that already or The market but would have an effect up on the finances of the country which th6ke in a position to know maintain wt1ld be decidedly unfavorabIe. For tn, conclusive arguments which have beei presented in this direction that plal seems to have been abandoned.
 Ahe next method of course is taxation and while much has been said favorabl to-a sales tax. or a certain percentag oa all goods purchased, there are thos wke are strongly urging a retroactiv aaa heavy tax on war profits, but ii nither case 1t would be the consume wth would be footing the bills and il ar.frohabiity the increase which woul b-.. made on certain small purchase w1hld be in excess of the actual tax.
 Thus it is made evident that whateve issehe final outcome on the bonus pla, ara the method decided upon to provid tho funds the mistake of rushing int ieSsiation which is not given prope collaboration should be carefully avoid ede.

BEING A MOTHER -N-LAW

NO wonder we haven't heard from 'em," remarked the woman who was frankly middle aged. addressing her husband as they tsat on the davenport be- fore the fireplace filled with blazing logs. T talked to Mrs. Marshall over the phone today. Her mother-in-law is here.p
 Whats that got to do with their run- ming over once in a while?" asked the husband of the frankly middle-aged wo- man.
 Tt has good deal" went on the wife. Why, the very first day of her visit she fell on the ice and broke her hip, besides taking dangerous cold They have two trained nurses. There's no place for Marshall himself anywhere in the fiat. He found room and board down the street and poor little Mrs. Marshall I is dreadfully upset.'
 '"Too bad, too bad" he sympathized wriggling the toes of his soft slippers l near the blaze Tt does seem as if the mother-in-law always gets the worst end of it. Things get complicated the instant she appears on the scene" i T think" unused the frankly middle 1 aged woman, that the mother of mar ried children takes too much for granted -her own welcome, for one thing.

 move to a larger place, she tells them
 They must have this and they mus spend that; they must meet certain peo
 pie :; they must go certain places.
 She means well, of course. And n doubt her suggestions are lovely, but tn
 young folks will feel their own needs an : supply them in due time. The mother in-law must learn to be the perfect wis itor and not dare suggest so much as

pENALrzrNG THE sw1NDLER.

While 1t is not maintained that prose- cution has been carried out in every in- stances where it was needed, for it is known that there are plenty of cases which never get to the light, it cannot fail to be appreciated what valuablel service is being rendered the people of this country by the action which is being taken by the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture against the firms which are adulterating and mis- branding foodstuffs and medicines.
 Whenever and wherever there are those engaged in misrepresenting their goods to the public or putting out infer for articles of foods through adultera- ton and probably raking off large prof it's as the result. there is furnished an opportunity not only for the government agents to put stop thereto but to prose cute those who are guilty of the prac- tice. What should prove of much benefit in checking such operations are the fa- Norable decisions which have recently been secured in 49 out of 50 cases where tomato products were adulterated, in- cluding the use of moldy and rotten to- nlatoes, the misbranding of stock feed
 
 tion of olive oil, the watering of milk and misrepresentation in regard to sal mon, sardines, lima beans and gelatine The consumer is being constantly worked by the swind1er. Unfortunately it is impossible many times for the pur- | chaser to detect the misrepresentations Through the activities of the representa- | tives of the government looking to the enforcement of the pure food laws there l is supposed to be force constantly al work to protect the public and it is | through such prosecutions as those whicl have just been referred to by the depart ment of agriculture that the consumer l is getting the protection and the fraudu | lent operator the penalty that is de served. In spite of the lessons that art | taught by such law defiance there con tinues to be plenty of work for the in vestigators.

TIE PARADE IN ovEnALLs.

fi is not to be supposed that the slim nirzde in New York of persons garbed iu ovcrails as a protest against the high -oos, of living can be regarded as the end or the movement. That it is and will be a fad is still believed. That there were no, more in the parade was a surprise. brt while 1t failed to come up to expec- tadons t nevertheless registered sen- timent that is much more extensive than the less than three hundred marchers in- dicated.
 The fact of the matter is that while the overalls idea is aimed at the profit ecring in clothing 1t cannot be overlook cd that for a great many people to adopt this method of protest it means invest fnent at the expense of several dollars far denims to be worn over the other ciothes, a saving which under present conditions in this cline can well be made by the wearing of old clothes instead of new. the adoption of overalls possibly later. when the weather permits and the exercise Of the practice of taclling the nigh cost problem by making savings in kaoh and every direction where such is possible and not expect to accomplish i, hy launching a move solely in one direc- lion
 That there are already evidences oi price reduction as the result of the un- icriaking is not surprising.
