We Are Living These Days
in the Atmosphere of
Expectation
The leaders in the affairs of great nations, from
some angles of vision, seem to have been not unlike
children, playing games of blocks, whose buildings
arc turning out to be pyramids built of blocks of
blunders.
The brakes are specially prepared lo check our
enemies.
The final issues must take form quickly. There
is the oxygen in the air which must finally check or
totally stop the war. ,
It may, for a short lime, be uphill work for the
oldest parts of the world to be educated from the bot-
torn up to form a suitable Commonwealth of Nations
into an International Commonwealth.
The wonder of the wonders of the age is the use
fulness, ability and energy of the United Stales fo
undertake this great work of nationalization.
The days of the liberty and brotherhood of men
have come lo all the earth, and Philadelphia, the
Birthplace of Liberty, reaches out its hand of helpfulness.

The ready-to-wear suits which the Men's
London Shop has assembled for Fall and Winter
include some of the best-looking garments we
have ever shown.
This is particularly true of the diagonal and
herringbone cheviots in gray, green and tan. The
"stripes" in these, if they might be so called, are
unusually wide and correspondingly effective.
Then there are heavy flannels, tweeds, home
spuns and worsteds of individual design. They
are all made in correct style and fit wonderfully
well, especially in that difficult spot around collar
and shoulders.
Prices $35 to $53.
