Belgium Would
Withdraw Part
Troops in the Ruhr

Brussels. Nov. 81 (By A. P.)-The
Belgian government. it is learned in
Official quarters, soon will raise in
friendly conversations with France,
the question Of partial withdrawal of
the forces in the Ruhr. Now that

in complete agreement, and there was
no question of separate action by
Belgium for a reduction of her troops.
He believed 1t certain that France
would take the same view Never
theless the Belgian cabinet, If nee
essary, would evert pressure to OBJ
tain a partial withdrawal of troops

Confusing Issues
i'm British Campaign

London, Nov. 27.-(By A. P.)--Mr.
Lloyd Georges assertion that Prem
Ter Baldwih's song of victory was
played on the triangle" is further
emphasized, and the extremely con-
fusing and complex nature of. the
coming elections evidenced, by an
analysis of yesterdays nominations
1t must be remembered that, the cleo
tion Is practically on the sole ques-
ton of protection versus free trade,
and that, roughly, the conservatives
represent protection while the Lib
erals and Laborites equally represent
free trade.
The analysis shows that straight
fights in the electoral contests are
distributed as follows: Conserva-
tives versus Liberals 1875; Conserva-
tive versus Labor 1903: Liberal versus
Labor SO. AS between Liberal and
Labor the election must be fought
out not on the protection issue, but
on such questions as a capital levy
and naturalization of industries,
which divide the Liberals from the
Laborites.
Then there will be large num-
Der of three cornered contests, 263.
In any one of which member may
be elected on a minority vote, since
. there is no provision in English
elections for proportional rcpresen-
tat1ves or second preference votes.

Ancient cathay

Cathay is an old name for China,
said to have been introduced into
Europe by Marco Polo, the cele-
brated Venetian traveller, WHO is
said to have lived from 1852 to 1924.
The word Cathay is corrupted from
the Tartar name Khitai, that Is, the
country of the Khitans, who oc-
cupied the northern portion of the
Chinese empire at the time of the
Mongol invasion.
The word is used by Tennyson in
these well known lines:
Through the shadow of the globe we
sweep into the younger day;
Better fifty years of Europe than a
cycle of CathaY."

The successfuI WIG

A wise mother said to her daugh-
ter the night before her wedding:
1.-THE time will come when nothing
but pride or religion will keep you
living with your husband" Where Is
the bride who believes this? And yet
the prediction applies to every bride
in the world.
1t is not human to walk the read
OF life, hand in hand. without mis-
understandings and heartaches. It
happens to the closest friends; Il is
inevitable in the most devoted house,
holds.
Jealousy, injustice, bitterness are
the original sins of married life.
We stand together under the June
moon of courtship, but when the
partnership has become one of shar-
ing problems and daily trials, we
look across a chasm. The cynic who
says Marriage Is game of give and
take, where the woman does the Civ
ing" sounds q destructive note.
There are three things the success
full wife never gives: her conscience,
her pride and her determined adj
herence to the faith which was the
root of her love.
1t takes courage to say This
thing is right and just. and so shall
do it" and to say 1t without Q whine
of anger or hysteria.
The woman who hasn't the courage
to say, This is my father and
mother and these are my friends
] can not be entirely separated from
their lives" will not retain her hus-
bands confidence. There can be no
love without respect, and respect is
born of character
The husband may not be conscious
of 1t, but deep in his soul will lie the
fear that the wife who can cut old
ties may not have strength to be
true to new ones. Love is never
strengthened by sacrifice based on
injustice.
The successful wife Is the one with
the intelligence and the character to
retain her own dignity and bring;
up her husband as she does her
children!-From Deiineator.
