Representative Gardner'* desperate
effort* to turn Into campaign account
the feeling throughout title country
thut wr ahouhl he prepared for war, la
making him very t idlculous.
It la not worth while, at thla time,
•von with thr able assistance of Kuril
a blinded pnitissn aa the heavy Hun,
to try anil persuade the public of
America that nulhoritlrs In Washtng
ton are unwilling to have thr truth
known aa to the Kittle of our prepar
edness—or unpreparednea* for war.
The Hun rayn that there la no ground
for aurprlar In Mr. Gardnrr'a an
nouncement, "that he will continue to
pros* for a complrte revelation to the
people of the condition of the na
tional defense*.” "Mr. Gardner,” nay*
the Hun, “will moat likely aucceed In
the long run. The effort to conceal
mutter* of vital national moment from
a people who are auppoaed to rulu
moat be a predestined failure.”
It would be well, if the Hun could i
realize that such lofty bluffs u* till*
are quite futile. The people of
America know perfectly well thnt
there la no plot against them In Wash
ington ami they are not In the least
likely to permit thla sort of political
dap-trap to conceal from them the
fact that the president desires to deal
frankly with them and set before them
a full and complete underslniidtitK of
our actual situation lit regard to nrval
and military equipment and prepared
neat*
Mi. Gardner's ideas unit President
Wilson's Idea* vary. Mr. Gardner de
•lr«K to get at this question with a
tnnjiimuni u mount of friction and ex
citement and a nilnlinum amount of
understanding anil good Judgment.
The president desires to have it pre
sented with a maximum amount of
deliberation end a minimum amount
of fr!c‘!on. inflammability and folly.
To the president “a church liy day
light.'* la more easily seen anil under
stood 'ban one set on fire In the dark,
but to Mr. tiardner the one that la set
flaming in the dark presents a more
thrilling and exciting Impression. Mr.
tiardner does not desire that congresa
should look Into the qucatlon of our
preparedness for war In a well ordered
deliberate and calm way but he greatly
deaires that a special Investigating
board shall call upon dissatisfied and
dlsgruntlsd army officers to light
things up with the torch of sensation
and agitation. He greatly deaires
Jingoism and folly In ths fond hope
that out of ths’confessions snd antag
onisms that may spring up, the party
to opposition to the present adminis
tration may gather tn some hot-head -
•0 Supporters. We don't think the
people of this country urw Imthe mood
to let Oardntr lead them Confidence
la Mr. Wilson's frankness and his
ability to look after the Interests of
this country is very great, it will
taka something stronger than Gard
ner to shake It.
THE EPIRIT OF SACRIFICE.
The National Soldier's in ft Commit
tee in Parts received among many and
various gifts for the soldiers of France,
a touching tribute from a 1-orrwlne
paaasnt girl—a wealth of long golden
. hair twisted In lustrous and beautiful
colls The peasant girl. Yooma Fusel
wrote and asked the committee to buy
a soldier s vail sett# with the proceeds
of this sals. “I am sorry to give ex
tra trouble, hut I live too far from s
town whore I might sell It mvself and
did not wish to send cash because l
wattled to sacrifice my proudest pos
session for ths sake of the defenders
of France '
What the beauty of long and glorious
hair means to a woman no one can tell.
It Is ths spirit of sacrifice which *«r
ewlls Into being that redeems it of It*
cruelty and Its horror. The desire
to give ourselves to a cause Is the one
great sign of being in ths cause and of
It. It is ths test of the soul, the In
signia of rank among God's creations

triot lam ran never he the white pas
ainn It is capable of becoming until it
le sacrificial. lie who love* hi* lift*
must lay it down for the sake of some,
tiling he lovett better
And «ll things Into which this trans
fusion of the sacrificial blood flows, are
glorified and magnified. Motherhood,
which Is the strongest Rttd most per
fect of all tics Is sacrificial even
among animals. "The female of the
aperies Is more deadly than the male;”
she Ih more generous of her own life
and more exnctlng of the life of the
enemies to her young.
The Instinct for sacrifice reveals tha
presence of love. We may boast of
our country, we may even f«el an in
tense autlfactlOD in It and a pride 111
it, hut until we realise ourselves eager
to serve It, eager to make sttcrlflees
for It and glad to put aside our Indi
vidual life for It we cannot honestly
claim to love it
Yet, It la not by any means tn the
pouring out of blood on the battlefield
anil In the tragic offering of broken
homes and hearts that our sacrifices
alone should go. In a republic, es
pecially there Is a dally and Insistent
call for sacrifice from the citizens.
There Is something even better than
dying for one's country and that is
living for It: but because It Is better,
II la more difficult tn do and because
it is an every day call, It is more dif
ficult to heed. Still, love of country,
when It is In our hearts, keeps ua
swake at the switch, fills us with the
passion for righteous government and
gets from us It's complete sacrifices
anti of such sacrifices, peace, not war,
Is made.
WAR MERELY A PART
Or DAILY ROUTINE,
LONDONERS LIVES
London.— " The war has become
merely a part of the daily routine of
our lives here," writes «n English
school teacher from Dresden, Germany.
File has been s resident of Dresden
many years, and lias had no trouble
either with the populace or the au
thorities.
There is no feeling of alarm,” she
writes, "such as we hear.ls prevalent
In London .md Farls. The feeling of
optimist ) is as strong as ever, and no
native of Hsxuny has any fears of an
Invasion of Dresden by the Russians.
"We see many soldiers, going and
Coming. They are very fine anil very
warlike. The women of Dresden show
er them with gifts of cigars, chocolate
and warm articles of clothing. The
troops are always singing some of the
old German glees. They have a few
new songs which are good. One of
them, written by a private soldier, has
caught on all over Germany. The
words are a bit grotesque, but fit ex
cellently Into the rollicking music.
They go thus:
For every Briton a kick,
For every Russian a shot.
For every Frenchman a knock,—
For God, for King, and Fatherland.'
“We had the spy mania here very
bad for a time, and everybody sus
pected everybody else; but they have
got past that now ”
SINCE CLOSING OF CASINO

Caalno closed, continued to bp vrrj
quiet, hut the International Sporting
Club Is open «Ith tables where some
may risk their money at baccarat.
This so -cal led "eircla prlve” stops
playing at 8 o'clock at night, so middle
aged gamblers are able to spend •«
good long night tn bed after the strain
of the day. In the scarcity of gold
gambling goes on with counter* in
stead of coins. One gets them at ths
entrance against notes: when leaving
counter* a eragaln exchanged for
notea. Rxtreme difficulty tn handling

MRS. TABBIE GREY.
Mrs. Tabbie Grey had three kittens
Mack. White snd Yellow. They were
'cry slick-looking kittens, for their
mother licked their coats shiny every
mornng.
‘‘You are three ns handsome kittens
as any mother could wish for,” she
said, giving one more touch to Black's
W'hite vest.
“Now sit in the sun, my children,
and get nice and warm," she setid, “but
mind you do not stay long, Yellow, for
your coat Is of such a delicate color X
am afraid It might fade."
Just then Mrs. Tiger Tabbie, who
lived next door, came along with her
tour little tiger kittens "Good morn

lots of mice. Don't you w ant to . >,nie

heads a little, their noses went Into
the air and they looked at Mrs. Tiger
Tabbie and her kittens with disdain.
"I'll go along with you.” said Mrs.
Tabbie Grey, "i would not mind hav
ing a fat mouse for myself, but my
children have plenty of nice milk, and
sometimes fish, so they do not need to
work for their food."
Mrs. Tiger Tabbie did not reply
then, but as they wnlked along she
remarked: "Don't you think you are
making a mistake, my dear bringing
up your children not to be able to

may not always bo here to look after
them, or your mistress might move,
and not take you and your family with
her. What would your children do
then.
Hut Mrs. Tabbie Grey did not take
her neighbor's advice, and Tier children
were made slick and clean every day
and sat In the sun dozing while Mrs.
Tabbie looked out for them.
Now. the very thing that Mrs. Tiger
Tabbie had predicted happened, and
one morning Mrs. Tabbie Grey and her
kittens found themselves all alone in
the back yard of an empty house.
"Me-ow, mr-ow," eried Black, White
and Yellow. “We want our breakfast;
we are hungry."
"Don’t cry, my dears." replied their
mother, with a heavy heart "I will
hunt a mouse apiece for you.”
“\\e do not want mice," me-ow-ed
the kittens: “we want milk.”
"I do not knotv where we can get
milk this morning." said their mother;
"the mistress has moved away, and
left us behind.”
Mrs. Tabbie brought back the mice,
hut the kittens did not want them.
After awhile, however, they were so
hungry that they had to eat what their
mother had prepared. For a long time
Mrs.' Tabbie Grey was kept busy hunt
ing mice for herself and children, and
at last she said: “You are old enough
to hunt for yourselves. Come with me
and I will teach you."
The kittens followed slowly after
their mother, but they had not gone
far when Black said: "I am tired, and
here is a nice warm spot. T am going
to sleep; you can bring my mouse
here when you catch It.”
"I do not want to 1 earn to catch
mice." said White. “I will stay here,
too Tam sure my coat would get
soiled."
“And mine would too." said Yellow.
I will stay with Black and White, and
you can bring our dinner to us"
Poor Mrs. Tabbie Grey looked at her
kittens as they stretched out in the
warm sun, and she realized now that
it was too late; that her Intended
kindness to her children had made
them far from a blessing to her, and
off she trotted to hunt mice for her
lazy children. She passed Mrs. Tiger
Tabbie, her old neighbor, who was
dozing In the sun. while her children,
now grown, looked out that she al
ways had the biggest mouse they
caught.
