Five years ago Thursday this coun- try entered the war with Germany. Mothers were crying. patriots were profiteering, bond drives. Red Cross drives, etc. were boominE Soldiers were marching with everything on earth promised to them. Now it's all over until the next war, and it seems a long time ago-especially to sol diers that got nothing, not even the old job. when they came home.
 Eight thousand miners paraded in Pennsylvania. Mounted troopers /. charged the men and injured 30. Un- less that was absolutely necessary, it was extremely foolish. Cut wages, if you must and can. Starve the men back to work if you wish, for that is your legal right, as things are run. ---.e--be a little careful with your charging troopers. One charge too many might have bad results. One match is enough in a powder factory.
 A lady thought she was marrying a musician, found she had married waiter, asked the judge for a divorce on the ground that she had been tricked into marrying an inferior. The wise judge said: No. stay mar ried. Walters are as respectable as any man."

 The Protestatant Episcopal church plans to cut "obey' out of the mar riage ceremony, on the ground that the woman need be no more obedient than the man. Omitted also will be the with all my worldly goods I thee endow" part. Where that is left out a hymn will be sung.
 The Buddhist nuns of Japan. who serve in the temples of Gautama, also demand their rights, and say they want to live as freely as the Buddhist monks live. They want the right to marry, now denied them, and they don't want to shave their heads, which is now compulsory. Here we have ladies forbidden by school superihtendents to bob their hair short; across the Pacific these Buddhist ladies demand the right to grow the hair long The main thing is that women are awake and don't intend to go to sleep again.
 It is hard to cure Asiatics of opium and Europeans of royalty. Ma poleon lies under the gilded dome of the Invalides. Millions read rev. erently of the words attributed to him; T want my body to rest on the edge of the Seine, among the French people that I have so much loved" It would have been more accurate if he had written: Among the French people that I have killed in such wholesale fashion"
 Now dies Charles, of Austria, who tried to be Emperor in a feebe way and failed. after the war collapsed. His heart is cut out, sent to Austria. His body will be sent to Hungary Austria and Hungary would both have been better off had they been rid of Hapsburgs. heart and body, boots and brooches, for the last hun dred years. Austria has had no ruler worth talking about since Maria Theresa, woman.
