THE PERIL OF MILITARISM, Editor Reporter : When in the course of events it be- comes necessary to defend Democracy by force of arms, it behooves every citizen to gird on his full armor to do battle, Buch, today, are the perilous conditions confronting the United Btates of North America. Our beloved Republic was never in greater peril than she is now, even during the troubled times of the Civil War. To be ready for succeesful de- fense is highly imperative. Every possible resourse of the whole nation must be set in motion to combat the preseat critical situation to order that our ¢ause will be successful. The expenditure of vast billions of dollars, the growing of abundant crops and the sacrifice of many thous- ands of human lives are, at this most critical juncture all of prime necessity. The Allies of Europe must be firm- ly sustained with food, money and soldiers to the end that democratic government may survive, German militarism is the demon peril of human liberty ; but allow it to win the struggle for supremacy and it will expand until every nation worth conquering is crushed. The forces of aggression and con- quest will not halt until all nations lle prostrate at their feet, If France is crushed, her fleet will at once be available to convey the German army into Eogland to cow that nation Jnto subjection. That sccomplished, England’s magnificent fleet will fall into the conqueror’s power ; then all is lost, for with the two fleets named added to their own, the maritime strength of Germany will be all powerful, and in a brief period of time their conquering le- gions will land on the Western Hemi- gphere to crush not only Canada but also the United States and Mexico, That done, the Central and South Americas will become easy prey to German lust and rapacity, Therein lies the supreme danger. Buch a eonditicn has not confronted the world since the dawn of time, and such a power enthroned will bring about the downfall of democratic gov- ernment, of buman liberty and eivili- gation, It is, therefore, of the highest con- sequence that the fall power of the United States be marshalled and pat into motion to assist our Allies in Eu- rope, thereby to prevent a greater cata- olysm than has ever befallen the ha- man race, ALFRED BEIRLY Chicago, Ill. ——— ps m——— PENN HALL Gross Bhook had both bad and good luck last week.

In BEurppe purple and all shades of violet are still mourning colors and are used by all chic women as a third mourning, Touches of purple with black or white are sometimes used, or all purple, or violet. The most ele gant third mourning, however, is all purple or all violet, just as it is all black or white for the first, then black and white for the second. Even in third mourning, velvet, no matter of what color, is quite out of the fold for gowns or even for hats. And to the very last day of mourning feathers are tabooed., As to the periods of mourning, the length of time varies in different coun tries from one to three years. The time of mourping, if it is sincere mourning, should he left entirely to the person bereaved. It is, however, safe to say one year of deep mourn ing for a husband or parent, a year of second mourning and a year of violet would fulfill the propricties Fach period can be cut down to six months if a pergon is depressed or feels that a year and a half is suff). cient. In Europe, now that there is go much sadness and almost no so ciety, those who are in mourning go about quite as much as the few who not sorrowing. Otherwise there would be no one to fill the open, or to keep the life are few thea of the fors ities in motion.
