All soldiers ION leave from
Ireland" will return to their
regiments Immediately. This
looks like renewal Of the irish
war.
The Irish are willing to fight
and be killed. 1t will take q
great deal Of killing to destroy
the Irish Republic, and after five
years Of the other war the Eng
lish have little stomach for
killing.
Make q memorandum of this
prediction. The work of CO.
ercing the south Of Ireland will
be turned over to the north Of
Ireland and the Irish war will
change from war between Eng
land and the Sinn Fein republic
TO civil war.
Mr.. Tchitcherin, hopeful Boil
shevik, says "the capital system
will collapse" when 1t comes In
contact with Russia in q busi-
ness way.
He might as well hope that q
drop Of milk in an ink bottle
would turn the ink white.
What has happened to other
revolutions will happen to tho
Russian revolution. When for
eign trade and possession Of ma
tional resources makes the revo-
lutionists rich, they will become
thoughtful and conservative.
Still is true Prudhomme's
saying:
"Monarchies are destroyed by
poverty and republics are de-
stroyed by wealth" Revolution
is destroyed by wealth-when
the revolutionists get the wealth.
Zukor, moving picture man, is
insured for five millions. His
life is worth 1t, and more, which
shows that one life can be made
into many lives-in money MAX
ing, which is not important, and
in knowledge production, which
is important.
The profit on the life of an
average man is about 81 day
above his keep. Therefore, if
an average man worked three
hundred days every year for
one hundred years his whole life
would be worth $4,000.
Zukor in forty years has made
his life worth five millions, as
much as three hundred average
lives of 100 years. Mr.. Rookie
feller very early made his life
worth as much as one hundred
thousand average 1OO-year lives,
financially. 900.
By promoting education and
science Mr.. Rockefeller has made
his life worth ono hundred mil
lion average dives. What ID the
life value OF a Shakespeare,
Newton or Lincoln?
In the case of Joseph Schi-
retired grocer, it was
mans turn to curse gold and
Usually the American captain
of industry gets rich, discovers
that his old-fashioned wife
doesn't understand or appreci-
ate him, isn't fit to shine in the
social realms to which his money
him. He gets rid of her,
and gets another-younger,
thinner, faster.
With Mr.. Schimansky it was
the other way round. He was
happy when he ran his grocery
store and his wife helped him.
Then he got rich. Now wife
and children, he says, bought
him q fine house. He doesn't
know how to live in it, so he is
put out to live in a room by
and his wife wants a
divorce. Mr.. Schimansky can
with some old-fash-
ioned American wives.
General Pershing, much pleased
With military training camps for
young citizens, hopes to establish
lamps for young women.
Thousands of young women,
as clerks, are expected
70 take at least two weeks va
cation in summer when business
IS dull. Training camps that
would give them a chance to live
outdoors, well fed, wisely, mod
.rately exercised and drilled, with
; camp for young gentlemen SOL
1iers not too far away and big
lining floor, half way between,
would be admirable.
1t might not do much to in
.rease the defense of the country,
put it would increase cheerful
ness. 1t also might increase mar
rage. That is important.
Miss Robertson, Of Oklahoma,
,nly lady In Congress, will be
very useful persuading other wo-
men to run for Congress to off
set her views. Be it said most
respectfully Miss Robertson rep.
-esents the female opinion OF The
Early General Grant period.
She thinks no woman should
share in the disarmament con-
ference, that women are not quail
led to discuss such important
me estions- Whv did SHE ,,,n
