Executive to Organizers of Pa

crushing the democratic Ideals for
which tho United States has aiwnys

educational movement who cnlled nt
tho White House. He said the only
way to end the wnr is by complete vic
tory of the nations representing those
Ideals over Germany's doctrine of
force.
"Muny people," snld tho president,
"are Inclined to let their thoughts on
the causes and principles underlying
the war wander into byways, and for
get that the main reason the United

ernment which threatens even the ex
istence of democracy."

tho new organization, which Includes
a number of religious, business, labor
and fraternal groups, for unifying the
spirit of America. Little real misun
derstandings of the wnr exist In' the

ALL INQUIRIES NOT ALIKE
Philadelphia Lawyer Illustrated "Lead
ing Questions" In Court With Dip
lomatic Kiss Story.
Tho late John 0. Johnson, n Phila
delphia lawyer, was onco cxplntnlng
to a Jury the nature and the unfair
ness of "leading" or guiding questions.
He Illustrated Ills explanation with an
anecdote.
"A young chop and n pretty girl," he
said, "sat on n secluded bench at
Lemon Hill. The girl turned to him
nnd said enrnestly:
" 'You nsk me for a kiss. There Is
a language In kisses. A kiss on tho
hand denotes chivalrous respect. On
the forehead It denotes n firm nnd
faithful friendship. On tho lips"
her color rose nnd she drew a long
breath "a kiss on tho lips denotes all
things. Kiss me, then, once. Ex
press In one kiss your feeling toward
me.'
"Tho bashful youth pondered.
" 'I don't want to lose her,' he said
to himself. 'Where Is the best to kiss
her? Hnnd, forehead, or lips?'
"A mellow whistle Interrupted him
Ho looked nt the girl. Her red mouth
was puckered up In the form of a rose
bud; she had pulled down her hat
so as to hide her forehead completely,
and both hands were thrust up to the
wrists In her pockets."
Sure Enough.
Tho ball had gone over the fence, as
balls will In suburban gardens, and a
small but unabashed batsman ap
peared at tho front door to ask for It.
Then appeared an Irate father.
"How dare you show yourself nt my
house? How dare you ask for your
ball? Do you know you nearly killed
ono of ray children with It?"
"But you've got ten children," said
tho logical lad, "and I'vo only got one
baseball."
