Its torpedoing was fully as wanton and inexcusable as that of the Lusitania even though the loss of life was hot America took the incident in stride with little more than a murmur of indignation. Is there significance in that fact? There ccretalnly is. It means, of course, that the United States has become calloused after years of such things as have gone on in Spain and China to the point of realizing that barbarities which aroused us to white-heat indignation in 1914 are simply an inherent part of modem warfare not an exhibition of particular and peculiar wickedness on the part of the nation which perpetrates them.

If America preserves this mental attitude and continues to make war the object of its Indignation rather than one of the particular nations waging it, perhaps we have a chance to stay out after all. At last, one night in early they had reached the end. Theres no justice, Marian had cried angrily after a futile argument. You are ambitious and S') am I. You plan to go on, giving up nohing, getting everything.

Im supposed to do all the sacrificing. She had stopped, miserably unhappy. If thats the way you feci about 1 I Marian would never forget bow she had flung back her bead, i I intend to work for a year at least. If you care to marry me under those conditions It had been her last card, she had held It back, certain that it was the high trump. Dan had looked at her, hit ejT like cold steel.

He had done with coaxing and persuasion. YotiVe made the rules, he had JT'OLLOWED a few hours cf scornful pride, then days of waiting, finally numb anguish. Marian could never remember those days when Dan neither called nor waited for her at the building entrance, without a spasm of pain. The agony had been so real as to carry across the years. Ten days passed.

Marians flag A of independence fell on a Saturday morning and she called Darli He waited for her at noon. Without a word, she slipped her hand into his and they walked along LaSalld street, unmindful of the hurrying crowds, unaware that another living soul existed. They walked straight to the On the way, Marian said, You win, Dan. I cant stand it. He said, Thank you, dear.

Trust me for a little while. Ill make it up to you. Marian found glory in defeat, pride in Dans strength of WEI. After the short ceremony which made her Dans wife, she had called Grant Fellows. She would not be back to the office any more, she had been married.

They had spent a beautiful week-end at MichJjan City, returning to tiny furnished apartment. There had been an interval of such complete happiness that Marian, sitting in the cheap little car beside a strangely remote Dan, could not remember the time without a quivering ache in her heart. Want anything for dinner? Dan asked as they approached a market. Marian came back to thd present with a thud. When before had she allowed herself the uncertain luxury of day dreaming? Memories shattered the defensive wall she had built around herself.

She would never look back egaia never. v- (To Be Continued) nr tin I for his wife, trying to give her lovely things, is the incentive a man must have to succeed. When hes at work he wants to know that his wife it at home, expecting him to make good. Cant you see it. Glad? Yes, but He put his hand over hers.

"And babies, Glad babies dont come to a couple who are both working. There isnt times the right time She pulled her hand away. A baby wouldnt have a chance not on $35 a week. Babies need things nice little beds and carriages and and things. A baby needs her mother, Glad.

Its up to her father provide the bed and things. Marian said, half laughing, Were certainly leaking ahead, Dan. But you want a baby a little girl? Why a girl? I thought men always wanted sons. I dont know girls are so cunning I think I should love my little girl best. The conversation terrified Marian.

You fell in love with a man, you promised to marry him. ThQfi, all of a sudden, you were considering other lives. She could not get past the drab picture of Bill and Amy Ellen. She wept' back to the first point of the argument. Were young, Dan.

We can wait a year or so. Ill keep my job No. Just a No. Youre stubborn and Horrid. How about yourself? Youre feet the only one getting married.

I have a right to say something about it. It has to be settled one time or another. In a year youll be a little more accustomed to having money, youll find an excuse to work another year. Ive seen too many marriages wrecked that way. If you really loved me youd let me do a I want to.

And If you loved me, you wouldnt measure our life with a dollar sign. Their two voices had become high-pitched and hard. Marian said, Were quarreling, Dan. Oh, no They clung together, horrified by the first clash of wills. In an agony of love they promised never to disagree again.

they had disagreed. The difference would not stay in the background. It cropped up like an ugly weed, crowding out the ecstacy, forcing itself between them. Neither would give an inch.

CHAPTER VI 4 A MY ELLEN had been one of the stenographers in Grant Fellows office. A little more than a year earlier she had given up her job to marry Bill Sands. They lived in a cheap little apartment on the West Side. Going to see them on that Sunday afternoon had put fear into Marians heart, the fear that was to drive gladness out. The dark little flat became the symbol of what it meant to face a precarious future, even with the man you loved.

The place was cluttered with baby things, Bills eyes were worried even when he laughed. Amy Ellen was thin and haggard, her prettiness gone. In the bedroom, pitiful with its cheap attempts at beauty, she cried and told Marian that Bill had lost his job, that she was frightened for the tiny baby who needed so many things, expensive things like orange juice and cod liver oil and special milk. On the homeward drive, Marian had been thoughtful. At last she had said, Dan, I think Id better keep my job for a while until we get a little caved.

Not on your life, Dan had burst out. Ill do the doing at our house. When I look at you I want to know that I bought your pretty dress and your cute shoes, that I buy your food and pay for the roof that covers the two of us. I know how you feel, but but look at Bill and Amy Ellen. They cant be happy, theyre wasting the years when they should be happy, being frightened.

It got me, Dan. Amy Ellen was so pretty, they were in love like we are. Dan gravely stopped the car and took her in his arms. They are still in love, Glad. Bill loves Amy Ellen a thousand times more than, he did when everything was rosy.

Hes got something to fight for, Amy Ellen arvl the baby, the head of a family. Hell come through, take my word for it. If she hangs on and believes in him, hell come out sailing. TJUT Marian hadnt been able to see it, she could see only the poverty and fear. She had said, Please, Dan, be reasonable.

If we both work if we both earn He broke in. It sounds all right, but it isnt. Theres a fundamental law about marriage. The man provides the home and the woman keeps it for him. Trying to make things easier and pleasanter IVloran Happenings MORAN, Sept.

2 Cor. 5:19. AIRPLANES AND PEACE The tragic situation in Europe today, writes Congressman U. S. Guy-er, can be laid absolutely at the doors of England and France.

By just one precaution these two nations could decree peace in Europe today, and that one precaution was to retain the control of the air the mastery of the alrlanes of central Europe England And France could have well afforded to spend 5 billion apiece on their air forces. Today, if such provision had been made, there would be no jitters about Hitler; for in one day they could have reduced Berlin to ashes It is a favorite sport to discuss with great positiveness what would have happened if what had happened hadnt happened, a sport in which no holds are barred because there is never any way of proving the contention. But until Mr. Guyer can cite at least one clear cut instance in history when arming a nation to the teeth resulted in peace instead of tending eventually toward war, we, for one, will challenge his viewpoint completely. In the first place, the idea of reducing Berlin to ashes in one day Is fantastic.

Airplanes play a vital part in modern war but they simply cant do things like that, especially at a distance of 600 miles from their home base and against any effective resistance at all of enemy planes and antiaircraft guns. In the second place, reducing interior cities to ashes doesnt win wars or even have any appreciable effect on the outcome unless it is to stiffen resistance. Madrid and Barcelona certainly proved that. And In the third place, nations do not declare war or refrain from it solely on a basis of mathematical calculation of their chances of tory. Passion, emotion, lust for power, politics, intrigue, national honor, sometimes the irrational decisions of a man who is partially insane these are the things which precipitate a war when the right combination of them happens to get together at the right time.

If France and England are responsible for the present war. It is because they did not disarm after 1918 (as they pledged themselves to do In the Versailles Treaty) and start building a European society of nations based on equality and peace rather than power not because they have failed to arm enough in the last five years. THAT SUGAR PRICE One of the funnier things we have seen has been the citizens committee of some national consumers organization, composed largely of women, rushing to the government with complaints against the high price of sugar and the profiteering of retailers and refiners. Well bet a hat that two-thirds of the women composing the commit- tee have an extra 100-pound sack cl sugar sitting In their respective basements right now. Well also bet that not a one of them feared an actual shortage of sugar would show up Tfe the immediate future but simply decided to do a little personal speculating on the probable advance of sugar prices.

It is the housewives of America not the refiners who are responsible for the price of sugar in the country today. Throughout the trade it is generally agreed that the price would not have gone up more than of a cent a pound If the women had continued normal purchases insteady of creating an actual national retail shortage by raiding the shelves of every grocery store in America the first two days after wax was declared. CAN WE STAY OUT? In contemplating whether America is likely to stay out of the war or get into it, one cannot discount the fact that today America is overwhelmingly pro-British and anti-Hitler in sentiment In 1914, the majority of Americans were honestly neutral In their sympathies and attitudes. If in sglte of that fact we finally got mad enough at Germany to declare At one point in the German offensive against Poland, the advance was so swift that two Polish generals were said to have been captured. Wo have been discounting somewhat the stories of the "lightning German advance but we any more.

Any time the front line moves back so fast that a general cant even keep out of its way, well, all we can say is that thats plenty fast! THE KANSAS MERRY-GO-ROyND I wonder why there is so much state pride? Once I was privileged to stand on Lookout mountain, from which I could look down upon seven states at one time. They all looked alike to me. A. Miller in the Good-! land News-Republic. One time when touring through Western Kansas we stopepd the car, pointed to a beautiful sweep of prairie, with a slight blue haze settling over it while fleecy white clouds raced overhead in a cerulean sky, and Where but ir( Kansas will you see a sight like that? whereupon our companion remarked, In Colorado.
