“PEACE HAT” LATEST
IN MEN'S HEADGEAR
LONDON.—The “Peace Hat” is
a new kind of headgear about to
be offered to London men. Mys
tery veils its shape and material
and hatters thus far have managed
'f to keep the secret strictly guarded,
but they have hinted enough about
a revolution in men's head cover
ing to stir up a lot of curiosity.
1 “Men are tired of the old time
honored bowlers (derbies), toppers,
straws, and Homburgs,” said one
haberdasher, “and they want some
thing new. The need is urgent for
a new hat—the ‘Peace Hat’.”
A London milliner said she fa
vored an innovation.
“It’s quite time," said she. “Men’s
hats at present are undoubtedly the
dullest things in life.”

Our Government.
We customarily speak of this re
public as a new nation, although
our senate has been in continuous
existence as a legislative body since
1789. How many nations have
maintained unchanged a system of
! government for a longer period?
What a distinction it would be—for
a republic—to present the oldest
structure of government on earth,
! and we are well in the forefront of
that race now. Look over the na
i tions and see.—Boston Herald.

MAN WHO STEERED PUBLIC OUINION DURING THE WAR
SCORES FOES OF WORLD COMPACT—DEFENDS SHAN
TUNG VALLEY DEAL AS ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF
DIFFICULT PROBLEM—WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO
A LEAGUE OF NATIONS?
(By Charles Lapworth, in the San
Francisco Bulletin.)
(Conclusion.)
i
I ‘"Americans are being asked in a
whining voice, ‘Will you send your
boy to fight in Mesopotamia? Do
I you agre<s that he shorla be sent to
interfere in some petty quarrel in
the Balkans?’ But American boys
were perfectly willing to fight for
Belgium, as ,-cmerican boys nave al
iways been willing to fight for an
:oppressed people; to say otherwise
i is an insult to our soldiers. It is a
‘stultification of our Americanism.
!Ir. this respect, as a matter of fact,
these objectors are making the most
‘vicious attack upon one of the most
] cherished of American principles, be
1 cause they practically charge that
! the Congress of the United States
from r,ow until doomsday will be
false to its solemn obligations. This
; country cannot go to war without
specific act of Congress. A state
of war cannot be declared except
| by Congress. If a recommendation
; is made by the League of Nations
for the employment of force, it still
remains for Congress to declare war,
and it is for Congress to decide
‘whether a single man or a single
ship shall be sent anywhere.”
Mr. Creel exhibited a fine scorn
for the opposition when I mentioned
Shan-tung. ‘‘These opponents of the
‘league.” he said, ‘‘can hardly re
{strain themselves when they refer
| to China being handed over to the
; tender mercies of Japan. They
charge that President Wilson proved
himself false to every one of his
own preachments when he agreed
to that thing. I would remind them
that Shan-tung was formerly in the
hands of Germany, but one searches
in vain through the records for any
hold Shan-tung. If it is evil to
iquity of Germany being allowed to
hand Shan-tung. If it is evil to
day, it was evil then; but not a
single protest was heard. I sup
pose the present outburst of moral
indignation is but the explosion of
the pent-up emotion which commenc
ed generating when the Germans
went to Shan-tung.
Shan-tung Bad Bargain.
“No one denies that this was a
fed settlement,” he continued. “But
England and France had agreed
with Japan that she should fall heir
to the German title in China; not
to sovereignty or ownership of the
territory in any degree, but to ar.
occupation that would permit her
to indemnify herself for her war
losses in the only way in God’s
green world that she can. And Wil
son protested against it. He urged
that some other way should be
found. And he might have gone
through with it had he been given
one ounce of backing from the Unit
ed States. But from the day he
went over until now, instead of
; being given support, he has been
subjected to the most outrageous
persecution and insult n an attempt
to destroy utterly his influence.
Even when he made his public pro
test against the Italian attempt to
seize the entire Dalmatian coast, a
protest since backed up by the
Italian people themselves, the leader
of the Republican group, Senator
Lodge, addressed the Italian people
at once, stating that, while he did
not know the facts, he stood with
Italy, and absolutely against the
President of the United States ”
“If, Mr. Creel, you insist that the
League of Nations is the hope of the
world, what is the alternative? What
is likely to happen if the league is
not ratified by the senate, as it
must be before it can have effect’”
“It will be ratified by the sen
--- - ■
ate,” nc replied roost emphatically.
“I am absolutely confident of that,
just because there is no alternative
to the league. If it be that these
wilful men repudiate America's hon
orable obligations, then the future
would be terrible to contemplate.
“It would mean that the human
mind and heart had become so cal
loused that a holocaust of six or
seven million mothers’ sons causes
no real sorrow.
“It would mean the resumption of
the old mad race in armaments,
each nation feverishly’ competing in
the building of warships, the alter
nating improvement of the shell i
over the armor-plate, the develop
ment of submarine and bombing air
craft. the training of every man
and boy, and even women, capable
of bearing arms, the burden of their
maintenance, and the loss through
their removal from productive in
dustry.
“It would mean that our greatest
scientists, instead of devoting them
selves to research for the benefit of
mankind, would have to consecrate
themselves to the invention of poi
son gases and high explosives that
would annihilate their fellow men.
Such, already, was the progress
made by our scientific men that in
ventions were ready for use. which
if the armistice had not come when
it did, would have wrought such
destruction of enemy life and prop
erty that the world, already sur
feited with horror and almost in
capable of any further shock, would
have recoiled through very nausea.
“That is the alternative to the
League of Nations. To confess that
such recurring criminal stupidity is
inevitable, and its prevention be
yond the wit of man to encompass,
is to admit the failure of civiliza
tion. There is no alternative but
black despair.”
BIG SURPRISE TO MANY

People are surprised at the IN
STANT ACTION of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed

completely it relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation
and prevents appendicitis. The IN

surprises both doctors and patients.
It removes foul matter which pois
oned your stomach for months.
