PEACE

TNHE announcement came suddenly
on that November day. Outside
the bells were ringing, whistles were
blowing, automobiles were honking by
and there was the sound of all sorts of
noise-producing instruments. We had
been expecting an announcement of
some sort and were not surprised AS
| hurried into the street to join the
throng, friend grasped my hand.
1.-The armistice has been signed
peace has come" he announced joy
fully.
1t was never-to-be-forgotten scene
the crowd, unOrganized, waving to
and fro, filed with emotion of one
sort or another because of the long-ex
pected or long-desired peace.
TO most of those in the throng, 1t
mad personal meaning; there were a
rev, perhaps, who considered even in
those exciting moments the RESPONSE
bilities and readjustments which peace
would acknowledgements the most
stupendous, perhaps, that any nations
have had to make-but these people
were few.
There was the singing and cheering
and a few brief pointed speeches, and
we turned home again through the
dim light of early morning, tired,
thoughtful, happy. We had done our
part intellectually in the war. tardy
though we were in taking up our task.
We had made our sacrifices, trifiing for
the most part as they were compared
with those which had been exacted
from our allies We had given our toll
of precious young lives to the cause of
democracy, and now peace had come.
Had it come too soon?" | asked
myself then as / walked slowly back
home, and | ask myself now. 1.-THE
wars over, why save any more?"
heard young fellow say. Have we
learned from the war as thoroughly
as we should the lessons which war
should teach? We had been a foolish.
extravagant, wasteful nation. During
the active war we learned little of
how to give, we practiced some econO-
my, we were less wasteful of time and
money, more generous, more unSelhSh,
less self-seeking, perhaps.
Even before the bells stopped ring
ing that heralded the coming of peace,
men and women both old and young
began planning to relax the discipline
under which they had been living. to
begin again to eat and drink and spend
as they used to do, to practice the ex-
trayagant self-indulgence for which, as
a nation, we have been notorious.
Have we learned our lesson, or did
peace for us come too soon? Have the
lessons of economy and thrift and con-
servatiOn and unselt1sh regard for our
neighbOrs sunk so deeply into our
brains that we shall have no need of
learning them further? l wonder.

WRITING LETTERS

TT IS curious how few men answer
= LETTERS unless by so doing some per-
sonal advantage accrues to the writer.
No matter how courteous and gentle a
note you may write to the man who
owes you money, ten to one he does
not reply to 1t until he gets ready, and
that is often far hence. whats the
use?" he asks himself.
Last February l wrote, one leisure
day, "a congratulatory notes to as
many undergraduate men who had at
tanned intellectual distinction Not one
of these was ever acknowledged either
by spoken or written word.
Not % per cent of the letters l write
to fathers concerning their sons in
college are ever acknowledged, and
those which are acknowledged are
quite as frequently as not turned over
to the mans wife. Women are more
likely to answer letters than are men.
In so per cent of cases If a woman
comes from a city, she either omits her
street address entirely, or writes it
only on the back of the envelope which
the Office boy throws into the waste
paper basket before bringing in the
mail.
There is no better business policy
than to acknowledge every letter that
one receives, promptly, courteousIy.
and to the point. The time that pro-
fessional and business men give to an
swering letters widens their influence,
and adds to their business efficiency.
Men fail to answer letters from selfish
ness, carelessness, thoughtlessness,
ignorance almost never because they
are ton-busy. The busy man cannot
afford to put off the dDty-he answers
right away.
There is no greater social finesse
than that seen in the promptness and
care with which some people answer
letters or acknowledge courtesies in
writing. The man who wants to get
on in business or to make and keep
friends should acknowledge every
courtesy and answer every letter
which he receives whether it seems to
his immediate advantage or not.
The best politician 1 have ever
known, who had the strongest hold
upon his constituents, was punctilious
about his letters. He not only an
swered the purely business letters
which came to his desk, but of his
own initiative he wrote letters of con
graduation. letters of coincidence. let
tiers acknowledging any courtesy or at
tention shown him, friendly and un-
selfish letters; and he wrote not only
to people of prominence, but to people
whose influence might have seemed to
less thoughtful observer not worth
counting. He was a wise man.

statement today denies an assertion
from French quarters that Germany

It's attitude toward the problem, but
that no definite proposals were sub
mitted, nor was any proposal made
for a formal discussion. The Ger
man governments view, the state
ment says, is that it is impossible to
put forward concrete details at pres
ent.
The government is studying the
problem, however, and its conversa-
tionS with the allies were only opened

Building Rainbow City
Five years ago came to Florida little curious
to know what it was all about.
Icamewith aWesterners periorimmunity
from the Establishments of any place or climate
not his own, and vast amount of real estate
sophistication.
My first glimpses of Florida in its clear, all
revealing sunshine told me that was looking
on something different from anything else in
the world
Florida was new place to live, and live
with greater sweetness of life. Ponce de
Leon was right.
Out of my experiences came the urge to be
builder; the aspiration that comes TO all of
us in some form, to do something permanent;
to make something; to establish something of
whichone has right to be proud, first because
it represents usefulness and happiness to a
great many people, and next, because 1t is
ones own handiwork.
Here in setting at once the most dramatic,
the most dreamful, and most exhilarating spot
in the United States, resolved to build city.
Apresumptuous dream, it is true, but we all
have presumptuous thoughts with ourselves.
Where could there be better place to build
a city than in the most favored spot of our
