most Of the clubbing, 1t seems to us,
represents excuses for failure to face
an obvious situation. It seems alto
gether easier to object to any proffered
program than to construct better
one. A worldwide sentiment for dis
armament is thus thwarted by techni-
cal fault finding, and the cultivation
of hatred and strifes continues.
Nothing is ever accomplished until
a beginning is made. The United
States Great Britain and Japan, by
ceasing to build warships for five
years, would constitute such a Begin
ming. No other country could do suffi-
cient building in that time to seriously
menace either Of the three countries
concerned. Their example would UNI
doubtedly prove great leverage in
favor of general disarmament, under
the league of nations or other method
of common action. Instead of hunting
objections, we ought to be trying to
remove those conjured up by others

Revelations
Ofu Wife
9 What Harry Did.
ay ADELE GARRISON.

I was enough of a swimmer myself,
as Harry Underwood well knew, to
know the danger of struggling against
him while in the water, SO I kept per-
fectly quiet If / had not disliked the
man so intensely and felt such a vague
terror Of him, could really have en-
joyed the swift rush through the water,
but ever before me was the threat he
had made to kiss me under water.e
Once when Dicly and were at cse
of the bathing resorts we had found
ourselves practically the only ones on
the beach. We had gone out as far as
the ropes extended, and as two foolish
children might do, we had held on the
ropes, ducked our heads under the
surf and solemnly kissed each other.
1t was an experience / had never for
gotten. To repeat it with any other
man, especially Harry Underwood,
would seem like sacrilege.
After a while my companion swan
with me into shallower water, and set
ting me on my feet at a spot where
the waves came almost to my chin,
but only to his chest, said mockingly:
Now prepare, my lady, for that kiss
I promised you"
/ felt myself growing actually weak
with terror. I do not know what the
man saw in my face, but something
must have shocked him, for his own
face lost its hooking expression and
took on one far different.
He grabbed me by the arm and hur-
ried me toward the shallower water,
saying roughly: You little, idiot, done
faint away on my hands. Who'd have
ever thought you would take it this
way? Don't worry; that startled fawn
expression in your eyes has done the
trick. You won't be kissed today, at
least by yours truly"
Thank you," said family. please
don't be angry, but mayn't we go
ashore?"
Certainly he assented, with a
