An armed camp was a common
term for describing Europe.
Evolved yellow PERIL
Wilhelm evolved the idea of the
yellow peril" as a reason for gen.
eral European rapprochement, and
in an interview printed in the Lon
don Daily Telegraph in October 1908
he told the British that Germany
was building her feet not against
England but to be prepared for any
eventuality in the Pacific and the
Far East.
Later in an interview with Will
liam Bayard Hale of the New York
Times-an interview which was
lost to the world until it was pre-
scented in the Atlantic Monthly by
Mr.. Hale's son in April, 1934-Wil-
helm was shown in the following
light:
The inevitable clash would be
between the Far East and the Occi-
dent, the particular duty of the
white races being to prevent Japan
from swallowing China. Agreements
for Chinese integrity and the open
door meant nothing, since Japan
was signatory to all such pacts, and
the Japanese are devils
by allying herself with Japan,
Great Britain had become traitor
to the white mans cause
The future belongs to the white
race 1t belongs to the Anglo
Teuton, the man who came from
Northern Europe, the home of the
German. 1t belongs to the fair
skinned man and to Christianity
and to Professionalism. We are the
only people who can save it
The most logical combination was
that of Germany and the United
States. He had discussed this with
Theodore Roosevelt, then President
of the United States. and the latter
had agreed. He predicted an alli-
ance between the two countries to
guarantee the independence of
China. I wonder what my friends
across the channel will think of

wrote to President Wilson and in
which he said that King George had
promised Prince Henry of Prussia
on July 90 that England would re-
main neutral if war involved the
central powers with France and
Russia.
In the early stages of the war the
German military machine, which
Wilhelm had been nurturing for 25
years, overran Belgium, drove to the
outskirts of Paris and defeated the
Russians. But the Germany navy,
Wilhelm's pet, couldn't cope with the
superior fleets of the Allies. 1t re-
manned bottled up while Britain's
blockade slowly frightened and stran-
gled the life out of the German en-
pire. Attempts to break this grip
by ruthless submarine warfare
brought the United States into the
conflict and after four years Of
struggle the tide turned on land
With the breaking of the famous
"Hindenburg line in which Ameri-
can troops played leading part,
the war lord began to see the hand
writing on the wall. But as late as
September he gave evidence that he
yet hoped to avert the crash In a
speech to workers at the Krupp
he was doing all in his power to
shorten the struggle. That same
month he ordered German forces in
Russia to join the bolsheviks in
fighting the Allies, and he told a
group of Austrian commanders he
felt sure they would give the right
answer" to the American armies.
With his old time pomp he visited

At the beginning of october, 1918,
Chancellor Hertling resigned and
was succeeded by Prince Macmillan
of Baden. On October the EN-

army and navy, announced he had
decided to "offer peace to the

Max summoned a conference of the

away from the German fold. The

helms realm by land and sea. grew
stronger even as the triple alliance
of Germany. Austro- Hungary and
Italy weakened.
In 1918, for no apparently signifl-
cant reason, aside from distrust of
the motives behind German policies,
war talk hummed throughout Eu-
rope.
Yet in that year, when Wilhelm
received congratulations on his sill
yer jubilee, he was greeted as a
preserver of the peace of Europe
and he emphasized that he had
only two aims, avoidance of armed
conflict and advancement of his
peoples welfare.
Pendulum Swung Next Summer.
The following summer the pendu-
lum swung. On June %, 1914, Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the
Austro- Hungarian throne, was, with
his wife, asSaSSinated at Sarajevo,
capital of Bosnia, province whose
hu tho UinrTo n
ment in 1908, had brought protests
from Russia and Serbia. Vienna
blamed Belgrade for this killing be-
cause Gavrilo Prinzip, the assassin,
had come from the Serbian capital
with Serbian passports. Under Aus
trian threats of reprisals, Serbia APP
pealed to its big Slav brother" at
st. Petersburg.
Germany had not been consulted
by her ally in the framing of the
ultimatum to Serbia, and Wilhelm
had started summer cruise to
Scandinavia He was in northern
waters when the Austrian Minister
left Belgrade the evening of July 25,
1914. The next day Austria and
Serbia mOblllzed.
Wilhelm hurried back to Berlin
but did not reach there until July
%. The German government there
upon took the attitude that the
affair should be localized" mean
ing that Russia should not inter-
fere Berlin advised Vienna to
modify it's demands upon Serbia,
but Austria refused. Russia there
upon began to prepare for war.
Berlin, alarmed, advised Austria
to accept British mediation and the
Vienna government decided To
adopt this course. But the Gar had
received assurances of French sup
port and summoned his legions to
arms. Wilhelm's government gave
him II hours in which to demobilize
and, this failing, declared war. Will
helm signed the mobilization order
on August /. Two days later, having
received an uncertain reply to in

Divorce Seldom Brings Freedom
That People Usually Expect

their long-winded stories, are just
as dull company as his wife was.
And his heart is sick for the chill
dren whom he sacrificed as the price
OF his liberty.
For women, who are petitioners
in divorce cases oftener than men,
divorce is a still more blighting dis
appointment, because they expect
of 1t the impossible. They have a
naive belief that decree absolute
will work a miracle in themselves
and their surroundings.
No matter if a woman is middle
aged and fat and homely and has
half a dozen children, she thinks
that there is some conjure in a
divorce that will turn her into a
girl again and give her back her
place she had in her parents home
when she was debutante and make
herself sought after by men.
So for any frivolous pretext she
will divorce her husband, and she
gets the shock of her life when she
goes back home to mother and finds
a frigid welcome on the mat; that
her old friends regard a woman who
couldn't get along with her hus-
band as a failure, and that men
walk high, wide and handsome
around a grass widow with children.

Visiting Decorators
See Washington
At Its Best

The American Institute of Deco
rators, who have just completed their
quarterly meeting here, have seen
Washington at its loveliest. Gene
We've Hendricks, our own able and
noted decorator, as chairman of the
Committee on Arrangements planned
a busy and profitable three days for
them in which they have seen most
of the important places, from dec
orators point of view, in and around
Washington.
Each day has presented glorious
weather, an address by an eminent
authority on some phase of art or
architecture and visit to one of our
most delightful homes. Normandy
Farm, in nearby Potomac, took them
over the rolling hills of Maryland
to dinner the first evening, through
bloSsoming apple orchards and
freshly plowed fields. On Tuesday
the National Gallery of Art and the
Freer Gallery were visited in the
morning. They heard Mr.. Nathan
Straus, administrator of the United
States Housing Authority, inc the
afternoon, and at tea time paid a
visit to Mr.. and Mrs. George Morris
lovely home, the LindenS. This
charming house, known to most
WashingtonianS, was taken down in
New England town and reassem-
bled here in Washington, with all it's
fine decorative and architectural de-
tails intact. Thoroughly "in the ira
dition" in its early 17th century in
terror and furnishings, it is, never
theless, charming and lived-in
home.
Wednesday included visit to Ar
lington and Mount Vernon, luncheon
at the Arts Club and a visit to the
White House, Dumbarton House and
Dumbarton Oaks. with its beautiful
gardens, which is the latest addition
to the city's National Capital parks
These three days have been a most
active time for the members of the
Institute of Decorators, with many
progressive plans of the association
being worked out; certainly it was
a most inspiring one to any one
whose interest and profession is the
creation of beautiful interiors. Miss
Hendricks has shown the visitors the
very best the National Capital af-
fords, and may it be another feather

A recent survey was conducted
among divorced women in which
they were asked: How do you feel,
five years after your divorce, about
the wisdom Of having got 0ne?' OF
the women who answered this ques-
ton, SO per cent regretted breaking
up their marriages and said that If
they were faced with the same prob
lem today, they would remain with
their husbands. Thirty-four per
cent were happy to have got rid of
their partners and IS per cent had
returned to their spouses.
No doubt if the same question
were put to men who had divorced
their wives, virtually the same re-
sponse would be made, for one of
the Surest things about divorce is
that it seldom brings to either men
or women the happiness they eX-
pected from it. II is not the cure
all for what ails marriage that
those who take it believe it will be.
No denying that there are some
marriages for which divorce is as
necessary as is the surgeons knife
that cuts away malignant growth
to save a life, but not every tWinge
of pain denotes cancer, nor are there
many men and women who are
brutes and viragoes. And if only
those who rushed to the divorce
court for just cause parted, the
world would not be cluttered up with
broken homes as it is now.
With the right or wrong of divorce
We are not concerned now. We are
only discussing the fact that MOTH
ing else brings such bleak diSap-
pointment with it. The man who is
fed up with domesticity, who is
tired of hearing children cry, who
is weary Of looking at the same
woman every Gay across the break
fast table and listening to her
senSeless chatter, who reSents hav-
ing to spend his money on support
ing a family instead of his own
pleasure, and who rebels at having
to furnish an alibi every minute of
the time he is away from home,
thinks he would be perfectly happy
if he could only get rid of the wife
who has come to represent nothing
but his slavery to him.
But when he gets his freedom, he
finds that it is dust and ashes in his
teeth. Somehow marriage has un-
fitted him for bachelorhood. He
misses a home and home comforts.
There is no kick in staying out
nights when nobody knows or cares
whether he ever comes back or not.

Sleeping Equipment

Moving sleeping equipment calls
for extra care An innerspring mat
tress consists of hundreds Of small
coil springs. If any are bent or
broken, the others will be thrown
out of line. Movers, therefore,
should not be permitted to fold or
roll an innerspring mattress. Most
moving companies have cartons into
which mattresses and springs can
be packed. AS bedding is cumber-
some to handle, it is a good plan to
check over your sleeping equipment
before you move and decide whether
it is ready for replacement. Worn
items then can be discarded and the
new ones delivered to the new ad-
dress

Obedience
Essential
To Tot
Parents Must Learn
How to Enforce
Their Requests
BY Lettice Lee Street,

y
My 4-year-old son will not mind
me. what shall do?" writes a wor-
ried, serious minded mother.
She is not alone in facing this
problem, as we all know who have
children. Even the most beautifully
brought up child will go of on a
naughty tangent sometimes. But
disobedience can, and certainly
should, be stopped, for the sake Of
the parents and the child, too. To
bring about this happy change re-
quires patience, tolerance, under
standing, fairness and sweet temper
on the part of the parents.
The foundation of obedience is
laid in infancy. If your little baby
is dry, we'll and comfortable, and
he roars until he is red in the face
to be picked up, just let him howl.
Obedience is entirely up to the
parents. Granted that some chill
dren are more amenable than others.
But whether they will be brats or
blessings is entirely up to daddy and
mummie! A child must be taught
who is boss-and will not respect or
obey a parent who does not make
this clear.
We should not think automatically
of obedience Harsh sternnesS does
two things: Either it makes a child
vapidly submissive or loudly rebel
lious. We don't want either. We
want a willing, pleasant child. We
should regard obedience as an essen
tial part of our child's training, a
means of learning control and a
protection to him
Be sparing of your orders. Con-
tinual instructions about every lit
tie thing are exasperating Ask
yourself before you speak, rs my
request reasonable?" For example,
little children of 4 just have to
wiggle and jump about 1t isn't fair
to say, Keep still or Keep quiet"
and expect a little child to do SO
very long.
Do you always make your meaning
clear? Sometimes a child will I'M
Willingly disobey because he does
not understand. Was the order too
hard? A smart mo,her understands
and accepts her 'child's age liml-
tations.
The ugly words order" dis
cipline," command" and "obey"
make any ones spine bristle with
antagonism. Children are no ex-
ception! A brusqUe, rude command
is enough to make any spirited child
stamp his foot and shout. Il won't. "
Children should be asked to do
things with casual, firm and
courteous tone. never giving hint
that you do not expect them to obey.
This is the secret-consideration,
courtesy, fairness, firmness.
Once you have said a thing, stick
to it. But be very careful what you
say, and never. never waver your
request or be swayed by tears or
teasing
Be consistent, too. Do not permit
an action one day and forbid it the
next.
