Then she remembered. Last
night, when she had lain down on

her hand. And now her hand was
clean. There had been blood on the
carpet, by the door :. She got up
and went to the door, and, a little
giddy. stopped TO examine the car
pet. There was surely a faint stain
there, as of something that could
not be quite scrubbed clean.
If Wren had come to her door,
unknown to anyone else, the stain
would not be faint like this. If any,
one had washed her hand, and
cleaned the carpet. then whoever
had done this must know of Wren's
coming.
She turned out the light. lay
down again, and IeSolutely closed
her eyes: Immediately she had

Wren, Aunt Emma had seemed

wrong, that if she had washed the
blood from the girls hand, she
should have made no mention of it.
Well, suppose someone else had
washed her hand and cleaned the
floor? Who else? And if Wren had
robbed Uncle Rufus and success
fully escaped, what was he do
ing outside her door, desperately
urgent to be admitted?
All the old dread and confusion
had returned. She took up book
and tried to read, but every sound
made her start. 1t was nearly
morning when she dropped asleep.

the Federal Government would take

that inasmuch as strikes are legal, and

Until Congress decides that strikes
are either desirable or undesirable, the

according to Mr.! Scoville, and he observed
that the public is right in seeking a remedy

is not to compel the conbatants to abide

PRODUCTION AND INVENTION

Whom do you fear the more, a dozen
persons who are billiards or one person
who is a thinker?
Or let us pose this question, as we
posed it to Mrs. Emily Goddard, chairman
of the Woman's Club program committee,
who has travelled extensively in Russia
and is familiar with the psychology of that
country's people:
What country would you fear the
more, Germany, say with a population of
fifty million, or Russia with population
of half a billion, assuming that the status
of each country was similar to what it was
before the war began in September of
1899? -
Mrs. Stoddard promptly replied,
Germany"
Despite that reply, Mrs Goddard
thinks as vast majority of Americans
thinks that the United States should watch
the Russians and watch them closely. She
added that she agrees with Eugene Lyons
views about Russia and it's people, and
that the United States should not lapse
into a state of inertia but, instead should
be prepared and be on tiptoe while pre-
pared.
1t would be we'll if her views about
Russia, and they are closeup views, for
she travelled much-in that country, were
khewas ~by sssl4 Americans. Were that the
ease, Fit would obFiate great deal of the
pFopa ganda, pro and con, about Russia
that is now making the rounds of this
country.
The Russian people, under the lash
of their leaders, are prehaps more brutal
and fiendish than the Germans have been
in their long history of atrocities But this
is the chief differences between the two
peoples: were the Russian peasants left
alone, they would be content to lead life
of peace, whereas the Germans, with
minor exceptions, breathe or breathed the
Junker spirit of conquest.
That spirit was manifested among the
German tribes when their country was
divided into many states in the time of
Caesar A peaceful life palled on them and,
when they had no invader to fight, they
fought among themselves. ..
ba5, But thetspirit ofeonquest is not the
reason in itself for tearing a Germany of
fifty millions more than Russia of half a
billion. MrslQGoddard Said she had seen
Russians on the streets of Moscow whose.
expressions were so dumb they were
remindful of the expression of the lower
animals aIIIoM % 'as9traa2 ~ =
s. s What We! . would fear. in Germany
would not be her physical strength but her
mental strength. The genius of the Ger
man people not only to improve on inven-
tions of other peoples but to produce them
selves in the fields of chemistry and ma
chimes far exceeds that of the Russians.
Mind won the last war, and mind will
win the next war, if there is next and
the mind of the United States transcends
that of all other peoples in productive and
inventive genius, and it is production and
invention that win wars.
