The Petro grad papers severely criticise a speech made by one of the returned Socialist exiles, Lenlne, In which he advised the provisional government to solicit peace fith Germany. The Russkoye Volia says there is no difference be tween Lenine and Sturmer, both of whom sought to impose on Russia a shameful and disadvantageous peace. The Novoe Vremya says the Rus sian people never understand the psy chology of Lenlne and his friends, "which is that of William and Hln denburg." School Notes ACADEMY Mr. Phipps, tennis coach of the Academy, announced yesterday that all the entries in the spring tennis tournament, both singles and doubles were open. All the entries must be in before Friday evening so that lots can be drawn and the lists posted. Two silver cups are awarded to the players, who win the championship in the doubles. In the singles the win ner receives a silver cup and the run ner up also one. Owing to the fact that the limestone courts need repair ing, it may be necessary that some of the players must use the clay courts, but the limestone courts will be put in playing condition as soon as possible. The trials for the fellows who are doing spring relay work were held this afternoon. Those who were se lected will go to the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia next week and compete for prizes in the relays. The students of the Academy were asked to join the patriotic parade which will be held Saturday. All those who wanted arm bands gave their names so that the bands might be worn in the parade. All the class pictures of the different forms will be taken to-morrow. Also the picture of the entire school will probably be taken. A SAFE AND SURE WAY TO PROVIDE FOR OI.D AGE Tn the Woman's Home Companion Albert W. At wood says: "Probably the best method wouid be for you to ask one or more life insurance companies to suggest a suit abel form of annuity. One company, which calls this particular sorf of an nuity an 'income bond,' will pay you S4O a month after you have reached the age of fifty-four for the rest of your life, in return for payments on your part up to the time you are fifty four years old of $54.68 every three months. If you should die before you are fifty-four, the company will re turn to any person you name the sum of the payments you have made, or, if you should die after receiving one or more instalments of monthly in come, and if at that time the sum of the. payments received by the com pany exceeds the sum of the payments of monthly income to you, the excess will be turned over to your heir. This is an absolutely safe method of provid ing for the future." WON" FAME AM) GRATITUDE BY BECOMING AN EXPERT KICKER In the Woman's Home Companion we read the story of a woman who won respect and countless comforts by learning to stand up for her rights in a scientific manner. "I am, 1 suppose, as successful a 'kicker' as anyone who ever wrote iji letter of complaint, or filed a protest, written or verbal, over an annoyance or injury," she tells us. "Kicking. In this fashion, has become an establish ed habit with me. and when I think of the gratitude that has been poured out to me by department store heads, railroad officials, and other Great Powers, and of the apologies that have been my portion after my kick has been duly registered, I feel that the habit of kicking is a good one and that it should be a duty as well as a habit with every right-minded citizen." WHITE LIES AND BLACK In the Woman's Home Companion one woman accuses another of "living dishonorably," saying: "Did you not tell Mrs. Brown that the presence of callers prevented your keeping the engagement with her yes terday afternoon? The seamstress coming to plan out your week's work could hardly be designated as a 'call er,' ctultl she? "And you let your best friend think your new dress was silk when it is merely a very clever Imitation. Norma cannot afford to dress as well as you do, and you knew by her silence that she felt out-of-date and uncomfortable In her old gown. "When little Mrs. Fayne came in so happy because the Huntleys had asked them to go to the races on their yacht, do you remember how subdued she looked when you answered: 'Yes, they asked us last week to go, but we could not get away.' "They did ask you to go for a day's picnic, but not to the races. It was only half a truth at best, and yet you allowed her to go away with r. feeliiv! that they were asked merely to 'fill in.' "My dear, it isn't the way to begin life, believe me. You do not enjoy that sort of treatment from your friends. Do not subject them to It. It is not necessary to wear an ugly gown because you cannot afford a genuine silk, neither need you tell everyone what It Is. But do not let the dear, near friend bellfeve something about you which is not true. Only real friends deserve something truer and sweeter than that for their friend ship." J. D. BIRK DIES John D. Burk, aged 39, 614 Kelker street, died yesterday from complica tions. He is survived by his wife, Stella; two daughters, Ririam and Mil dred, and one sister, Tlllie Burk.
