THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1919 His Audiences The President is not doing good to his cause by his speaking tour i» be- half of the League of Nations. Were his speeches confined to the people who hear him give them, the effect might be all that is desired, but the audience of the President that re- ceives his message through the print- ed page is many hundred times larg- er than that which listens under the influence of his personality and the Excitement of a crowd inspired by pa- triotic fervor. Cold type day after day reveals the many weaknesses, even that the President himself is not al- ways altogether sure of what is in that wondrous document that was formu- lated at Versailles. The habit of newspaper reading has grown marvelously in the United States since the breaking out of the war. People who never before had any interest in public affairs became vitally interested at the moment that their sons were taken into the mili- tary or naval service of the country. The government became then for them a definite thing, composed ©f men whose judgment was to be weighed and measured because upon it depended the safety and the ul- timate return to them of the loved ones that they had seen march away in the nation's uniform. That habit is staying by the Amer- ican people still and they turn to the printed word as a means of find- ing out what it is that the govern- ment to which so much has been entrusted is doing. In a driven three weeks such as the President has undertaken in his tour it is impossible that every word should be weighed with the care that it ought to be when a matter as im- portant as the League of Nations is at stake, either to be adopted or to be rejected or amended. Tt is im- possible that he should know just what he is going to say upon each occasion, but it is a great pity that he cannot be supplied with the offi- cial reports of his speeches that he might be kept informed as to what he has said. Tt would from "monb a blunder free him, and foolish no- tion." service. The prosperous, who had no need to call upon it for help, were disposed to look upon the workers as bands of men and women redeemed from lives of degradation by the min- istrations of the army itself. Nothing is farther from the truth as the public has come to realize since the light of knowledge has dawned with the serv- ice of the Salvation Army to the boys in the front line of battle. They know now that years of training, absolute consecration to the work that they undertake, stern discipline, are re- quired for those who become officers in the ranks of this army that builds up rather than tears down. They have given their confidence, because they have seen confidence deserved. The week's drive for funds ought to be accepted by the public as an op- portunity for good works by proxy, an opportunity not to be scorned. Business Manager Returns Lieutenant Lloyd F. Hollister, former business manager of the Lake Shore Publishing company, returned to the north shore from overseas this week after three years' service in the United States army. He has resum- ed his work with the company. Sells Wilmette Home C. P. Hodgson, 407 Central avenue, has sold his home to Mrs. Anna Shampay of Chicago. The Hodgsons will make their home at the North Shore hotel, Evanston. Heroic Journalism ' râ€" The week's issue of the New York Independent is recommended to those who like a heroic tale, for it gives to its readers the history of that little newspaper that was the source of such heart burnings to the German government of Belgium and such heartening to the people of Bel- gium. For four years that forbidden sheet, La Libre Belique, appeared with regular irregularity, printed on a hidden press, that even German spies were not able to locate, edited by as old newspaper man who had passed his three score years and ten, but still by virtue of his strength was able to do this great service for the country that he loved. It is a story of false bottoms in cupboards, of mattress-padded secret chambers, of holes bored in the tops of doors and "copy" hidden in the hollow pipes of steam radiators, in boot heels, in walking sticks. It tells of editions of rrwre than twenty thousand copies issued and distribut- ed right under the nose of the most efficient German spies, all through the period of the German occupation of Belgium. It reads like an epic and a fairy tale combined, with its deeds of heroism and ready facing of death for a cause. It is much more than worth the cost of the magazine and the fifteen minutes that are required for its reading. Church Union Meeting The Union Sunday evening serv- ices of the Wilmette Church Union will be held Sunday at 7:45 o'clock in the Methodist church. Reverend Hubert Carleton, rector of St. Augustine's Episcopal church, will be the speaker. Enter U. of I. William Sturgeon, 614 Greenleaf avenue, and Harmon Ringall, Rogers Park, formerly of Wilmette, leave Friday morning to enter the Univer- sity of Illinois as freshmen. Buys Hartray Home James B. Thorsen of Kenilworth has purchased the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Hartray, 1430 Chicago avenue, Evanston. Warm and Cool Colors The warm or advancing colors, which arouse the senses quickly, are those having yellow or red predomi- nating, as yellow green, yellow orange, orange, red orange, red and red violet. . The cool or receding colors, which soothe the nerve sens- es, are blue and the colors in which blue predominates, as blue • green, green violet and blue violet. They are called cool colors because of their association with water, ice and the sky.

There is work to be done this side of the Atlantic in patching up those whom life has injured, just as there was work to be done to minister to .the victims of the Ger- man guns and the German haired. For years the Salvation Army has served the spiritually wounded, serv- ed without recognition of the serv- ice, worked handicapped by lack of funds, using energy and people for the collection of stray pennies that «ould with so much more effective- ness have been put into the actual •work of the salvation of both body and soul which is the purpose of the ^organization. .
