A CORRECTION

In an article in this paper on Lu-
iendorf's book the word mo" was
left out of sentence, changing the
meaning. 1t should have read, "The
book shows no compunction of con-
science for the violation of the laws
of civilized warfare. Ludendorf has
not been reconstructed. 1t is con-
tended by some people that there
should have been no armistice, but
that the Allies should have marched
into Berlin, as they could easily have
done.

the bees were up in the air, and that
is said to be the reason of shipping
the bees by airplane as there would be
difficulties in the way of transporting
them by rail.

She was little. she was gray-hair-

she was what even an upper-class
Englishman would call a Iady-but
she was not by any stretch of the
imagination at all the thing that
these FIVE words made, when YOU
put them together-not Mrs. Eme-
line Pankhurst-the English Suf-
fraget.
Little-she might be; gray-haired.
she undoubtedly was-youth would
never be hers again; and she spoke
with the information and manner OF
cultivated English woman. But
dear me.
She was a cyclone. she was a vol
cano, she was runaway automo-
bile, she was an uprising, she was a
revolt, she was a human protest
Hence, all those things which are
facts about her-the little" the
gray -heared" and the odd, were
not the truth AT all.
Words-what a lot you can do
with them! What a lot you can't
do.
Sometimes I think they're a lie
say one thing and you end by say
ing quite the opposite. without hav-
ing changed your mind at all. The
