A yl'ESTlON
Here Ls a question, says the
Cleveland Leader, for those Am
ericans who may feel thai sym
pathizers with foreign powers
engaged in the great war are not
doing anything especially hostile
to America and American rights in
endeavoring to blow up mill*, fac
tories and ships in this country as
a means of keeping war supplies
from reacting their destination In
Earope.
If Germany were neutral whiie
two great nations were fighting as
Russia and Japan fought a decade
aso, and Uerniau manufacturers
were selling large quantities of atn
cianitiou and other war supplies to
oae of the belligerents, as such
stores were sold to Kussia theu,
tvha: would lie done with subjects
ot oae of the belligerents or sympa
thizers with that power if they were
caught in Germany blowing up, or
trying in any way to destroy Ger
man mills, factories or other
property? ■
Those who answer that question
honestly • will have no difficulty in
realizing how serious are the of
fenses against the United States of
men like the wife poisoner Muenter,
otherwise known as Holt, and
others who seek to emulate his law
less and murderous activities.
IS PATHETIC
Miss Jane Addarns, who, a short
timo .i^o returned :rom the futile
peace congress of jvomen at ' The
Hague, and her equally unproduct
ive tour of European capitals to
interview statesmen as to the pos
sioility of restoring peace, was yes
teiday iu conference with President
W'oedrow Wilson upon the same
subject. What arguments .Miss Ad
d.ims used in her effort to secure
th' co-operation of our chief execu
tive ia her work, have not vet been
revealed, but taking her recent
reported utterances before a New
York audience as a criterion, we
can well believe that her fanatical
zeal in the cause which slie so ar
dently advocates has caused her to
t:iku a long stride over the border
land of truth into the realms of
fictiou. To anyone in full posses
sion ct therr reasoning powers the
statements made by Miss Addams
in New York were so childish that
the- are pathetically ridiculous.
Ou the occasion above referred
to she said that soldiers in the
various armies must .be made
drunk before they will obey their
officers' commands to charge with
bajonets fixed. They give them beer
in Germany, rum in the English
army and absinthe in the French,
the account oi her speech quotes
Miss Add'.ms as saying. "They
have to give them the dope, so to
speak, before a bayonet charge is
possible."
Ti>e lady is further represented
as having described a wounded
German youth who, is more than
three mouths of trench service, ac
cording tc Jxis statement, never had
aimed his rifle so as to kill any
man and never would, though he
cxpected to be sent back to the
Iront and killed there. This young
man said he knew hundreds of
others of the same mind, it is
stated, and nurses in hospitals cor
roborated the conclusion that many
soldii.rs refuse to kill their fellow
men.
xLis mutter is reported by Miss
I Addans' presumably to -emphasize
| the awful nature of war. It is
ouk charitable to assume that her
allusions to intoxicants were in
tended to further the same eud.
It might easily seem credible to so
tjcod a woman that beer, for e\
aaivle, was "dope" sufficiently
potect to make men ready to com
mit acts from which they would
shriui in abhorrence if sober. -Per
haps she believed the statement
aud 1 -poated it only in hor laud
able desire that all should under
stand how repulsive is war.
But no such report has been
brought back by observers bettar
than Miss Addams' and to allow it
to be generally believed that the
soldiers of 1915 must be made
dm:.* to overcome fair or induce
obed uice would be to cast out
ras^jas slander upon thousands of |
bravo men of many nations who
j havy •'one to their dtilth like men
fr»r what they believed to bo tho
right.
TESTING A
BETROTHED
It Did Not Turn Out Exactly
as Expected.
By JOHN Y. LARNED
j "Alec, one of tlie most dangerous
things in the world is to interfere in a
■ love affair. I am not going to inter
fere ''Xnetly. That's not the right name
; for it, but 1 urn your brother, and since
j yon are going to take the matrimonial
| leap in the dark I venture to suggest a
1 t.--t to be applied to the girl you Rre
I about to marry."
I "Mildred Huntington needs no test
] She is i>erfe< t in every respect"
I "(.'runted; but will not a proof of this
| add to your comfort? I will not deny
i that Mildred Is perfect in even- re
j spect. She may be this and yet un
der certain circumstances think It ad
visable to marry some other person
than you."
"What do you mean?"
"You know how hungry our Ameri
can girls are for foreign titles."
"Some of them."
"Suppose Mildred should meet a Brit
ish earl, a Trench duke, an Austrian
or Italian prince, and he should propose
; to make her his wife, are you sure that
' she would staud by you?"
I "Perfectly."
"Then there Is nothing to be said."
This dialogue occurred at a hotel In
Maine. Alec and Fred Winston were
members of a party that had been to
gether there for several weeks, and the
men were about to linlsh their outing
by a hunt in the vicinity of Moosehead
lake. Several of the girls were dis
gruntled at being deprived of what
they considered the best part of the
season's pleasures—camping in a v.-tide r
| ness—and demanded to be taken 011
j the hunting trip. The men demurred,
but so persistent were the women that
they finally triumphed. More elab
orate preparations were made, a chap
eron was <>' taiued, and instead of re
turning to Utilization the party, con
sisting of five men and four women,
started for the wilderness.
"I'rid." said Alec the morning of
their departure, "I wish you hadn't put
that notion into my head."
"What notion?"
"About testing Mildred. I don't like
; to do it. but the temptation is becom- j

' Wm. Britu
Ing Irresistible 1 "shall make-"the te.«t
as soon as we get home."
"You mean when you get where you
will timl a man to play the part of a
titled aristocrat?"
"Yes."
When the party roached their camp
ing ground and had settled themselves
In their temporary canvas home. Fred
Winston, who had made up the party,
announced that they must have a
guide and he was going out to find
one. Setting out, he soon came upon
a party of hunters who were about to
leave tlie woods and asked if they had
a guide who wished another Job wlieu
they released him.
"There's a chance for you, Hawkes
worth," said one of the party.
A man about thirty years old asked
some questions nbout what was re
quired and when informed said that
he wouldn't mind taking the Job. Hav
ing gathered Ills belongings, he bade
goodby to his friends and started to
camp with Winston. Hawkesworth
was on Englishman, and Winston no
ticing his British accent conceived the
idea of using him to make the test ho
had proposed to his brother upon Miss
Huntington.
"IIow would you like," ho said to i
the guide, "to play the part of a noble- I
man?"
Ilawkesworth looked up nt him, but
made uo reply. Winston gradually un
folded his scheme. Ilawkesworth lis- j
tened to what he said without com- j
me lit till he had concluded, then said
that he would not pass himself off for
anything more than what he was, but
he had no objection to Winston declar
ing that he was a prince of the blood
If he liked.
"That's all I wish," said the latter.
When they reached camp Winston
Introduced the guide in this wise: "Per
mit mo to present my friend Ilawkes
worth of London. He lias the mania
for hunting common among English
bloods and Is In the Maine woods for
moose, lie has consented at my invi
tation to honor us by Joining our party,
and, since he knows the best hunting
grounds, will pilot us. We won't need
any other guide."
Ilawkesworth was made welcome,
and when Fred Winston Intimated that
he was the Earl of Blngleton there was
quite a flutter In the cuiup, especially
among the women.
"Ho doesn't look like an earl at all,"
said one of the girls. "He's very ordi
nary."
"Why should an earl look different
from any other man?" said his intro
ducer. "Besides, how can style be
expected from one who wears a flan
nel shirt? You can't judge a man by
Ills clothes. They sny that the worst
dressed assembly. In the world ls_tho
British" Houie" of Lords. Tiiey don't
stand on their appearance. It's the
fact that they aro peers."
Whether Alec Winston suspected
that his brother had Introduced
Hawkesworth to make the test he had
proposed, whether he believed the lat
ter to be an earl, he kept his oye on
his flancee. All the girls of (he party
who regarded Hawkesworth with cu
riosity were desirous to know how they
should address an earl, and were told
that they might call him what they
liked so long as they didn't call hira
anything above Tom Hawkesworth.
Hawkesworth, Judged by certain at
tributes, was just the man n woman
would admire. There was a natural
air of dominating force about him. Ho
was a silent man. It is the man who
is always expressing opinions who does
not get credit for depth, even if lie has
It He who never talks is supposed to
bo always thinking. Great generals
have usually been reticent ineu.
When the party was made up It was
supposed that the women would re
main in camp while the men weut out
to hunt, but they had not been in the
woods long before it was proposed that
the girls go out with the men to shoot
mooso. They were in camp costume,
which favored the plan, and there were
plenty of guns. So the four girls went
with the men one morning on a hunt
ing tramp, and it was understood that
each girl should be assigned a pro
tector. Fred Winston made the as
signments and deputed Hawkesworth
to be the guardian of Miss Hunting
ton. On reaching a certain spring
where numerous tracks indicated that
animals came for water the party scat
tered, the several couples going in dif
ferent directions for game, it being
agreed that they should meet later at
tbe spring.
As Hawkesworth and Miss Hunting
ton took their departure the lady in
formed the guide that she wished to
shoot a mooso and for him to give way
to her. He responded that there was
no reason why she should not do so
provided a moose gave them an oppor
tunity. In time, hearing a breaking of
branches, he notified his charge to be
ready to lire, and a little later when
they stepped out into the open space a
largo buck moose was seen feeding a
few hundred yards from them.
"Wait till he exposes his flank," said
the guide.
Ho had scarcely spoken the words
before the animal turned.
"Fire!" said the guide.
Miss Huntington tired, but instead of
hitting the moose behind the foreshoul
der she inflicted nn irritating wound in
a nonvltal part. The animal, enraged,
charged upon them.
