A "OUITTER" IN DANGER.

One OF the latest published views on this coun-
tys international relations IS that OF Raymond B.
Fosdck who recently resigned as secretary general
OF the League OF Nations. on his arrival in New
York he was quoted as saying that the rest OF the
world regards the American people as "a race
OF cutters" while "our professions OF idealism and
disnteresedness marked down for sham and
hypocrisy"
II may not be quite bad this-yet. And II it
IS, the stigma may be endurable provided we are
We are acting ssuarely toward the rest OF the
world and for our own best interests But Mr.
Fosdick continues
~our isolation IS complete and we face the rest
Of the world in alliance 1t foolish assume that
the situation has no elements OF danger for US Our
position Is one OF Iern. fact that is evidently

appeal very strongly. But the question Of peril

clothing. Then the realization that proper

CONTRAST IN OBSERVATIONS.
fReaver EaIIS NaxxSA


The contrast between the judgment OF a private
individual and a government is srikingly displayed
IN the OF American publisher just OF
Germany after long tour of lesurey observation,
and Premier Millerand.
The publisher reports that militarism in Germany
Is "deader' than the prOverbial doornail and that
-he world need waste time debating
whether Germany has been punished sufficiently.
Nillerand makes the threatening power Of Ger
man militarism the ground work OF his claim for
the right to invade Germany and the seizure OF much
territory The American publisher lost a son in
France and explains that he has many reasons for
not including Germany in his list OF friends but
he feTvently hopes never again 70 see the hunger
and misery he witnessed everywhere throughout
Germany This the one condition which i'm
dressed him most and sticks TO him closest.
The Germans helpl ess he says far more so
than has been made known and the weakness goes
further than a simple breakdown OF militarsm The
Germans. he remarks nation OF hungry peo-
pie II is this. he asserts not military threat which
makes Germany dangerous. for hunger breeds boil
shevism IN Europe and he concludes, the Ger
mans certainly hungry"
He has mmunicated the result OF his investiga-
tions 20 the state department with earnest plea
for immediate relief, naming 80 days the limit
OF a period beyond which may safely guess
at consequences OF the universal hunger.

ANOTHER STRIKE FAILS.

The railway strike Is falling It is the last of a
considerable list OF failures during the past few
months among which the steel strike and the coal
strike the most conspicuous
All OF these have failed for the same reasons They
were lauhched by hot-headed radicals who imagined
they could dictate to employers defy the pub
lie and they were lost because OF a lack OF public
sympathy.
why has the public failed to support these strikes?
Not because the public is opposed organized lab
or. and not because either the employers who pay
wage increases directly or the consumers who pay
them indirectly are disposed 10 deny worlmen
fair compensation based standards Of decent liv-
ing The strikes have failed because every thinking
man and woman knew that they disturbed indus
trial conditions that were already too much dis
turbed adding to the difculty Of restoring normal
production and prosperity and making still harder
the lot of the big majority OF people It well
known, too. that in every important instance the
strikers might have a reasonable increase Of
lay without striking. IN the steel and coal indus
tries they could have done it by negotiation and
in the railroad industry they could done sim
ply by waiting until the new machinery provided bv
the Summins- Esch law began to operate. and then
presenting their case.
All In all. the past year has been a bad one for
radicalism IN American industry The radicals have
done their worst by boring into" established labor
organizations and trying TO wrest the leadership
from the more conservative element and have fail
ed In every case American unionism on the whole
stands firm. as the American people do for con-
structive progress by slow rational methods Indus
trial revolution repudiated just as political revo-
luton IS repudiated Perhaps It is worth all that
these disastrous strikes have cost to emerge with
such victory for order and discipline all along the
line.

BELLE.


Belle is one of the many feminine
names which began existence as a
contraction and gained sturdy indie
pendence until it became a recog-
nized appellative and is bestowed
without reference to fits prefix.
Since Belle signifies oath Of
Baal' it is easily discernible that It
IS an offspring OF Isabelle. In the
days when Eliza beth Of Hainault
married Philippe Auguste and SUI
fered her name to be changed TO
Isabelle by the French. it is hardly
likely that Belle was used. either
as an endearment or a diminutive.
But Isabelle became very popular IN
royal circles and the betrothed or
Hughes de Lusignan. who latter
married King John, brought Isabelle
10 England.
1t was there that Belle came into
existence and into consequent vogue.
OF all the contractions Of Isabelle
Of which Nib. Ibbot and ID are a few
xamples-Belle proved the most
popular and lasting.
country and is bestowed without
reference to Isabelle. France recog-
nizes no such contra elton, but Spain
has an equivalent Bella.
The opal is the gem assigned TO
Belle. 1t will prove a talisman
against evil, danger, and disease
when worn by her. The evil designs
Of the pixie which superstition
claims, is imprisoned in the stone,
will be powerleSs against her. To
dream OF an opal means success.
Friday is Bellies lucky day and her
lucky number. The chrysanthemun

NO FAVORTTES.

If you and I were robins,
Residing in a nest,
We'd feel no fears that profiteers
Would have us dispossessed.
But when we saw a tOm-cat,
With terror we should faint,
And that is why that you and
Are kind OF glad we amt,
If you and I were minnows
Abiding in pool,
We'd never need to learn 10 read
Or spend long days in school.
But little boys with fishpoles
Make tough the minnow's lot,
We'd find that hooks were worse
than books,
And so we're glad we're not.
If you and 1 were rabbits,
And bounded through the wood,
Quite certain we would always be
OF good abundant food.
But dogs have keen incisOrs
Which cut one like a knife,
And so we're glad we never had
To lead a rabbits life.
Man sees the cattle browsing,
The birds that soar aloft,
The fish that swim, and all TO him,
Seem living pretty soft.
They keep no Office hours.
They have no work TO do.
But just the same they find the
game
