"The heart Is hnrd In nature and unfit
For human fellowship, iir belnK void
Of sympathy anil thereforo tlt-ad allko
To lovo and friendship both, that Is not

With slRht of others onjoylnn lire
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own."
At tlio beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust off his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out of one's everyday
life without a very good reason for
It. Making new acquaintances Is usu
nlly an easy matter. Rut to nurliire
those acquaintances until they blos
som Into friends, cemented by loyalty
mid constancy, Is a different problem.
A man or woman may count ac
quaintances by the score people who
Invito them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merrymaking yet
they are still acquaintances only.
Frlcnd.snlp means much more than
this, while few actually understand It.
Many a one has counted up a hundred
so-called friends today. Hut If adver
Blty assails one tomorrow there may
not ho ono heart among the many onu

And New Year and Old Year met.
And winds were roaring and blowing ;
And I laid, "O yean that meet in tears,

Science enough and exploring,

Among tho victims ot the measure
less ruin which the Prussinn militar
ists have wrought In their desire to
dominate tho world, Armenia and
Syria hnvo high clnltn to our sympa
thy. Suffering tho full horror of the
conquered they havo been Isolated
from tho allies who would have helped
them If they could. Turkey, the part
ner of Germany and the cause of tho
Buffering and desolation of the Ar
menians, Is now conquered nnd It Is
possible for America to rescue the de
spairing and the hungry In those lauds.
This Is n duty which we cannot re
gretfully postpone. Wo are and must
continue to be the storehouse of tho
world. Our resources must be put to
the uso of those who suffer. France
and England, In spite of their nlmost
Inconceivable war burdens, aro each
doing their part In the work of freeing
nnd feeding the oppressed. We should
not fall of u ready nnd full co-operu-tlon.
Today the War Is Won.
Thustfnr we have not felt In any de
gree tho pinch of the war we havo
linrdly been Incommoded. Wo havo
saved sugar and meat nnd flour nnd
submitted to restrictions In other
ways, but wo have not suffered In tho
slightest the pain and the grief of
other countries. The sacrifices wo have
mndo seem very small ami very poor
in comparison with what Helglum and
l'olnnd and other equnlly Innocent by
etanders havo endured.
Today the war Is won we can selzo
our great opportunity. We havo mndo
our ling respected by the valor of our
sailors nnd soldiers, now let us make
It beloved by the wise uso of our al
most limitless wealth. I low great, how

It is not necessary for mo to ro

My part Is to plend with thoso who
bave a surplus that they may heal tho

to the barring of Intercourse with her
definitely.
It Is dlfllcult to ascertain vvhero film
can first gain n foothold. With her
reputation blackened by her own acts,
her rotten methods thoroughly ex
posed, It will bo a hazardous thing for
nny nation to attempt to deal with
her.
It la n matter that calls for tlio
sober, calm study of muster minds',
the consideration of all nations op
posed to Germanic Ideas. It must ho
made a matter of the most careful
consideration, for upon the pdllcy
adopted by the nations will depend
much of their own welfare. There'
must bo n limit set for Tout. .tile ac
tivity, u bouuil beyond which they
dare not go or It will be only a ipies
tlon of time until the world will again

It Is time tor the nations and their
deepest thinkers to liegln to plan mid

until the Hun will ! wanting to emi
grate from llutihin to escape the
burdens he has helnd to create. He
must not he allowed io shlik his task,
He must he the one to pick up the
burden and stagger along under It.
He must not he allowed to shift It to
other shoulders, In part or In nitliety.

The forces of tunny nation- havo

come the prodigious effort to hold him

Unless he Is so hedged about b.v

think that getting a whipping will

or any degree of reformation. He

So let us plan now for what comes
Inter, that we may enjoy life with no
fear of despotic oppression In the fti-1

quite up to his tough reputation when
he was lu (he arid climate of Allium

of Ihe sheriff's "forty live," according
to the story that drifted hack to Chi

Deputy Ilaynes grinned when ho
was asked of the capture and conduct
of "Hlg Joe" Moran.

Then he decided to come along. He
wasn't so darned hostile.
"In tho Jail I put a man to guard
him. Moran got a little braver and
said : 'There's a weak spot In the Jail.
I'll get out.'
"Tho man who was guarding him
said: 'There's a strong spot, too.
"When It came time to bring him
back to Chicago this Moran began to
act like, ho did here, according to what
they tell me. He said he wouldn't
leave. So I unlocked the cell door and
went In and got him. I showed him
my .45 nnd he came along.

me and we didn't even have to put tho
