SIGNS OF PEACE.
Then* are growing indications of peace in Europe*. (lor- -
funny’s and England’s officials both have reached the point
where they arc* willing to admit publicly that their respective
programs do not embrace total annihilation of their enemies.
\lid while England still mulls over her virtuous preach
ments in behalf of the free upbuilding of smaller nations, and
Germany continues to prate about her place* in the sun, the
freedom of the seas, etc, there are certain signs of conversa
tional*’weakening that give promise* e>f something more deEi -
Tiife shortly. Both sides are suffering from diminishing treas
nries; flu* people's of both nations arc pre>strate*el by their ter
rible* losses.
Among the neutrals who are* suffering troni the* cemlinu
ution of hostilities none will welcernie a cessation of the* eetn
flirt more than the* Enite-el States. Euless it comes to an end
very shortly the* 1 uited States will he obliged to lay certain
embargoes on exports, or else suffer serious conse*qiiemces. 1 he
people at large will not long continue* to pay enormems pvie ~
for (In* ne'cessaries of life merely for the* welfare of the* few who
are* amassing millions from the extravagant profits ol war.
The* nation is running short on cemimeielities the* absence* m
which will have* a dangerous e*ffe*ct oil our economic life.

SCIENCE MARCHES ON.
Science lias discovered that neurasthenia is a disease oi the
kidnevs and not a nerve explosion. ! hey are uncovering the
(act that “brain storm," “hysteria," “white liver,’ "weak
knee" and other “let downs," for years attributed to the
nerves, are really attributable to the "glands nt the breast, _
thyroid, ardenals, pineal, pitutiary, thymus, sex and others,
which cau.~e the profound and bizarre changes in the disposi
lions and temperaments of people.
Chilly pallor, coldness, weariness, blue devils and a fagged
out feeling, sensations of numbness sleeplessness, all point to
certain disturbances of the glands, and not to nerves or brain, .
sav the modern anatomical explorers, and it is all ver\ interest
ing and verv valuable to know. It is the doctor’s task to read
the svmptoms and ascertain what gland is conducting the dis
turbance, and what remedy is required to repress or accelerate
its activities. Science continm-s its wonder working. Scarcely
a day passes without an addition of some fact that adds to the
well-being of the race. It may be the discovery of a remedial
mental attitude, self-imposed, or it may be, as in the case ot
the glands, a new and important light upon anatomy and the
coil icrea 1 i iroeesses.

RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. '
a
This well known writer died suddenly at the age of 52 .
years. He had lived long enough to produce some 152 books
and five plays. His books have had a wide vogue, enjoying in
some instances the prosperity attending the “six best sellers.
Davis was internationally known as a war correspondent, hav
ing been in the field’ for London and Now York papers in the
Turkish-Hreek, Spanish-American, South African, Russo
Japanese, and the present European wars. He had written
much for the magazines on war and kindred topics, and had an •
acquaintance among military leaders of the world probably
not equalled by any other man. Perhaps his fiction, or the
most of it, already has passed-into that bourne where so much
modern literature finds a deserved’oblivion. But much that In*
has written of war and travel has a recognized historic value
which will grow with the years. He had an interesting style,
though now and then resorting to the bizarre in expression.
An artist who has been in the asylum for seventeen years
has recovered his mind and emerges from the darkness to f ind
himself famous, his pictures, painted years ago, having model
their wav to the hearts of art lovers, lie is a fortunate man.j
alany another artist who strove, hungered, suffered, waited i
tutilei\ and died without acknowledgment, would have been!
w illing to spend seventeen years in an asylum if release there-i
from would open to them, while, living, the gorgeous gates ofj
fame. It’s the old story of our deplorable habit of waiting s
until a man is dead before patronizing the florist. •
President ’Wilson is really responsible for the thawing outi
of tin* snake. He allowed guns and ammunition to pour across
the border. He did not seem strong enough to withstand thej
. pm eze of the armament ring. Villa probably would have been j
rendered helpless months ago except for the mistaken generos
ity of tin* administration. If Villa shoots our soldiers it will
be with guns and bullets which we supplied him.
-:o:
The president of Wellesley jays that beauty and brains
really do go together sometimes. He has made' no discovery.
We have never seen a really beautiful woman whp did not also
have plenty of brains. But we have seen pretty ones who didn’t
have any. ’ * *
-:o:
We are thankful to the girls and women who take ‘the
trouble to wear white shoes. They brighten the landscape.
