audience by the president OF the
United States. Amid his heavy bur-

our meeting here today and give
me an opportunity of addressing
this kindred nation, as well as my

and perhaps some other countries
too. The president has told you
that it is his wish, as I am sure it
is yours, that I should have full
liberty to give my true and faithful
counsel in these anxious and baff-
ling times. I shall certainly avail
myself of this freedom and feel the
more right to do so because any
private ambitions I may have
cherished in my younger days have
been satisfied beyond my widest
dreams. Let me, however, make it
clear that 1 have no official mis-

I speak only for myself. l can,

U. S. Power
1.-THE United States stands at this

power. 1t is solemn moment for
the American democracy. With pri-

duty done but also feel anxiety lest

overwhelm us all.
Cried Aloud
Last time / saw it all coming,
and cried aloud to my own fellow
countryme,l and to the world, but
no one paid any attention. Up till
the year 1888 or even 1885, Ger
many might have been saved from
the awful fate which has overtak-
en- her and we might all have been
spared the miseries Hitler let loose
upon mankind. There never was
war in all history easier TO pre-
vent by timely action than the one
which has just desolated such great
areas Of the globe. 1t could have
been prevented without the firing
of single shot, and Germany
might be powerful, prosperous and
honored today, but no one would
listen and one by one we were all
sucked into the awful whirlpool. We
surely must not let that happen
again. This can only be achieved
by reaching now, in 1916, good
understanding on all points with
Russia under the general authority
Of the United Nations organization
and by the maintenance Of that
good understanding through many
peaceful years, by the world instru-
ment, supported by the whole
strength Of the English speaking
world and all its connections.

think this inconsistency is due
to the fact that girls simply do not
realize this. I advise every young
girl to observe her sisters in school.
See how few of them have beautiful
posture and how those who do have

a period of poor posture but one in

ABANDONED PETS.
(From Mrs. A. L. B., Arhngton.)
During the past several months
stray cats have come to our SUBJ
urban neighborhood in Arlington
Some of them seem to be very
friendly which leads us to believe
that they may have been well-cared-
for pets. They wander about the
nelghborhood and if no one is will
ing to adopt them the Animal Res
cue League is called.
The past sWeek a sweet, little
mother cat has been hanging
around. No one has taken her in.
The only conclusion we can draw
IN regard to so many stray cats
Is that some one from the city
must be dropping them off in our
suburban area in the hope of their
finding new homes. If this is so,
may l please say it would be much
easier on pets if the original own
ers would find another home for
them or get in touch with the Ami

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN

problem will be helpful. My 5-year-
old and twins, 3, have made two

rope, then when it is nap or bed
time I put the twins in the top
bunk, stretch the folding gate across
the front and tie it securely. They
have never been able to get out.

toys. 1t keeps them content for
hours.
