The garden guesthouse was copy
of a cottage at Juan les Pins. 1t
had been Rundhia's idea. The
Prince had persuaded his aunt the
Maharanee to 60 thoroughly modern
for once.
The Maharanee almost worshiped
Rundhia, but she had compelled him
to return from Europe by cutting off
the supplies of cash. She wanted
him to learn to be fit for the throne.
But Rundhia was always threatening
to 60 to Europe again unless she
made things tolerable; so she had to
make good his gambling losses and
to humor his whims.
No one had stayed at the guest
house until Mrs. Deborah Harding
heard about it during her tour of
India. She knew exactly how to
contrive invitations. She considered
she conferred a favor on the rules
of Kadur by accepting their hospi-
tally for herself and her niece.

In August 1914, when war burst on an unaccustomed
world America scarcely believed the from Europe 1t

daily revelations like in hectic DRAMA and the first
days of the World unfolded like play before fas-
cinated American audience.
We have had lot of education since then First the
world is changed changed utterly from that world
that believed in the honor of the pledged word in nerna-
ona dealings in personal affairs Many people actually
believed that great nation which had solemny pledged
its word to respect the neutrality of small neghbor would
do even to its disadvantage.
We know better The which began % years ago.
and all the dealings SINCE have established the nterna
tona morality that nation does what its leaders conceive
to be good idea at the me and every shares the
establishment of old BethmannH oweg that nation should
insist the validity of scrap of paper. Even Britain,
which choose to regard the of Belgium
revealed less metcuous about NnePower Pacts in the
Pacific.
The United States knows now that when Europe brews
warbroh, it well it piping hot at time We
about European situation today study
did in 1914, for we know that stupidity
bunder irresponsible and headong mad to
be unthinkabe in Europe.
That why people incline to listen carefully when they
learn of the New Federal Unionsts, group forming
to seek to advance the plan of worldwide federation of
democratic nations 1t is thin, small straw the whrng

the desperation of the drowning for today know what
we did not know in 19l4-the waters are deep and
treacherous.
The idea would be to unite free nations in union bound
together by guaranteed civil liberties mobile and united de-
fense stable money immense free trade and ace
commerce and communications Such coalition would be so
powerful economically and defensvely that felt others
would wish enter the union which they would be welcome
to do on meeting the conditions.
Perhaps it is somewhat filmy dream, but it is to the
credit of the world that people still left in it who will not
resign to dogeadog future that result in nothing
but Dark Ages.
How far this movement will get say But it is
launched at time when thoughts turn naturally back to

WEDNESDAY,. AUG. o, 1899
Benefic aspects rule strongly
today. according to astrology.
Although the early morning Is
under a threatening sign, there
Is good promise for regular bust
ness hours.
The planetary government
stimulates business and seems to
pressge a period of early autumn
prosperity. Expansion and de-
velopment are indicated for
shops and factories.
Building will be pushed and
American cities beautified. Gov
eminent construction will be
conducted on a scale beneficial
to many communities.
This should be fortunate
sway for women with a high
purpose in life.
Astrologers forecast the close
of lives long marked by public
service. Death will claim many
noted men and women before
the end of the year.
Labor is subject to favorable
aspects today when there APP
pears to be promise of employ
ment on a large scale. A lack
of young. well trained workers
will cause anxiety.
Aviation continues subject to
stimulating planetary influences.
Great planes will be launched,
but loss OF aviators' lives will
increase, despite safety appl-
ances.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury of year of
fair success. The young win
court and marry. Strangers
should be avoided in business
affairs.
Children born on this day
probably will be courageous and
individual. These subjects of
Leo have great powers, mental
and physical. They attain sue
cess in whatever vocation they
choose.

TIME TO CRY, HALT.

Editor, The Times: Prime
Minister Chamberlain concilia-
tory attitude toward Japan to
this time is in keeping with his
ultra peace endeavors and all
possibly worthy enough If they
shall conduce to the ends de-
sired. 1t is, however, at least an
open question whether any de-
gree of supineness and sacrifice
of principle is a proper price to
pay for what is nothing more
than a temporization in any
event.
Japan is merely ruthless and
INSCRIPTIONS invader in China,
nothing less, its course lacking
even the sanction of a declared
war. That is bad enough, but in
its cruel and despotic state of
mind and practice it is not con-
tent to ravish and prosecute and
rob and slaughter the Chinese
on their own soil, but is quite OBJ
viciously as opposed as it dares
openly to be, toward any nations
which presume to continue their
friendly relations with the Chi
nese.
There is an arrogance about
this which, as we begin to realize
its significance, becomes intol-
cradle. 1t springs from that lust
for land and power and domi-
nance which has cursed the
world, blackened human charac-
ter and saturated wicked human
history with blood since the be-
ginning. Ii is time the world
outgrew this variety Of mass sin.
At this hour in humanity's ex-
perience probably nothing else
would do so much to insure the
world against war as for Cham
berlains government and our
own aid the governments of all
Christian democratic states to
frankly join hands and pointedly
say to all aggressors and expan-
sionists and war lovers, Stop!
Stop or we will stop you and set
you back where you belong.
That is the sort of language
which they best comprehend.

Vacation Begins in
Dining Car
Menu Figures seornfulIy
Ignored
Militant Lady Dispells
Bottled Courage
We Meet Elizabeth
And Judith
tho BEGIN at the beginning,
L this vacation in California
started when the train pulled
out of Tacoma on a Saturday
night just before the dinner
hour. It is important to note
particularly the time. II is the
opinion of this vaeationer, based
on long experience, that there
is no more suspicious beginning
for railroad journey than a
good dinner. But 1t must be
good, and the sooner one gets
TO the diner after the first call
the better 1t will be. AS rule
the dining car crew will be in
an amiable mood and the food
will be better.
Then, having been seated in
the center on the view side of
the car, the important influ-
ence which contributes most to
the enjoyment of the dinner is
to completely ignore the figures
at the right of the menu. Not
withstanding budgetary CO M
mitments. one must concentrate
solely on the food.
To order with a noncha-
liant vet intelligent abandon
has good effect on the
waiter, too. One who
chooses food with such
reckless regard for the fig
ures which will appear at
the bottom of the check. tax
included, must he n gener-
Gus soul who would not de-
mean himself by raking up
all but the small change on
the plate. The service will
he excellent.
The memory of the hour spent
in the diner will linger long
after one has returned to the
coach where the night will be
spent either from choice or a
budgetary mandate. After all,
spending a night on a reclining
chair is not a hardship. The
coach is not crowded, pillows
are plentiful, and there is room
to stretch. Soon the effect of
the food and the monotonous
drumming of the wheels brings
on an oblivion which might
have lasted till morning but for
the intervention of the souse
who takes possession of the
king compartment and
loudly proclaims that he is lord
of creation and he would like to
see anybody dispute the point.
Companions try to quiet him but
he has embibed so much cour-
age that he is entirely out of
control.
Well, he asked for Ii.
After a few minutes of the
disturbance, a militant look
ing lady strides from the
center of the coach to the
smoking compartment, dar-
ingly pulls aside the curtain
and in polite but fOrceful
language delivers a barrage
that penetrates the befud-
died brain and the nuisance
subsidies.
Morning comes eventually, as
1t alw avs does. AS we go
through the Cas- AIDES, gray
dawn changes to hues of red
and orange and color combina-
