AN OMNIBUS OUTLOOK.

"i'hout any manner of doubt
/, world conditions have an ominous
outlook at present. The bolshevi,,
are victorious over Poland despite
the fact that the SO called league Of
nations backed Poland with its
moral support" The thing has come
10 q showdown. Great Britain and
france must interfere or Poland IA
lost. German bolsheviki await OBJ
portunity. 1t isisigntficant that Great
Britain and France are sending larce
quantities OF war materials to Poland
and that Great Britain is reported
considering a cali for volunteers
within the next few days.
The plight Of Poland is the result
largely Of Poland's plunge into mill
tary operations. It has been charged
that she was encouraged TO this
,coure by diplomats who had much to
90 with framing up the Paris league
and that is denied by Lord Grey. But
tho conditions are as they are what
ever may have been the secret under
currents Of European diplomacy. rne
oolshevih are at the kates Of War
saw. Not only At the gates Of the
Polish capital but flushed with VIC
tory and outlining another program
Of world domination as viciously cast
Is that Of Germany.
4 How deeply tho new war cloud may
involve the United States is impos--
sible to predict. II Great Britain and
Ezance get into line between Holano
and the bolsheviki they win both
look westward for money and for
men. how successfully remains to be
seen.s
The opinion grows that the armis-
tice came too soon. that Germany
should have been scotched beyond
possibility Of immediate recovery and
that different messengers from Her.
ron and different message from the
one he carried should have been sent
to the bolshsviki.

Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. Why is the song Of the lark so
beautiful?
The lark Is a marvellous songster
on account Of his soaring flight and
the sustained copiousness of his song.
When Gagged and near at hand, the
larks song Is positively disagreeable,
it Is 80 loud and full Of sharp. as
pirated sounds. But high In air
above the broad downs. poured out
without interruption for many min
utes together, 1t is very agreeable.
2. Can a deer-mouse tell the diff
ference in the thickness of wood?
When confined in O box, the sides
Of which are of unequal thickness,
tho deer-mouse, on attempting to
gnaw out, almost invariably attacks
the thinnest side. How does he know
which is the thinnest side? Probably
by a delicate and trained sense Of
feeling or hearing. In gnawing thru
distractions from within, or from
without, he and his kind have had
ample experience.
3. Does elder, grow the size OF a
treer
I learned by experience how frag-
rant the English elder is while In
bloom. and that distance lenns en-
chantment to the smell. When
plucked tho flowers, which seemed
precisely like our own, the odor was
rank and disagreeable: but Mt the
distance Of few yards 1t floated up
on the moist air, a spicy. and pleading
perfume. The elder in England grows
to be a veritable tree; saw speci-
mems seven or eight inches In dame
ter and twenty feet high.

BALLADE OF A WISE KING.
Back in the shadows OF long ago

Shredded his nerve ends, small and

Decided his nationewas bound for the
bow-wows.
so ne summoned his men and he held
lengthy pow-wows,
Ana then, while the drums made a

They voted for battle with General
Tso-lin.
So now all the way from old shang-
hal to Picking
The battle Is on and the red blood ia
leaking. !
You ask us the reason for all this
commntion--
We tell you Quite frankly we haven't
notion.
We had hoped that when women
got the vote they would take i'm
mense pride in their civic duty.
we had hoped that they would ex-
ert 80 great an influence that cor,
ruption In politics would go forever.
We had hoped that the country
would be uplifted by their efforts
exerted thru the franchise.
We had hoped that they would
consider the suffrage a privilege and
a solemn duty.
But We are forced to conclude that
they are Just like the men.
