The refusal of United States pia- sldents to visit foreign countries was a part, perhaps an unconscious | part, of thelr century-long policy of | isolation.

But the United States stood aloof, It had no allies; the grea: congresses of the past touched upon fone of its vital interests. So the | chief executives remained always at | home "attending only to the domes- | tie policies of the nation. But now the world war has brok- | en this isolation. That 2,000,000 American soldiers are under arms in France testifies to the fact that their country is at last drawh into | Wy maelstrom of world affairs.

What Will We Talk About Now? | For four long, weary dreary years, A time endowed with hopes and fears, We'ye spent our time Tight In thinking, talking of the fight That in its grip clutched all the world, And right and left destruction hurled, THI a1, it seemed, who swords could wield Were struggling on the battlefield. We've dreamed about it in our sleep, We've talked it Over on the street; The papers, too, were closely scanned To get the latest news at hand, To learn how our boys at the front Had bravely stood the battle's brunt The pulpit men upheld our cause And pointed out the broken laws; While speakers, 'neath the flag un- furled, On foes denunciations hurled On every hand, in east or west, "he war news held our interest Well, now it's nearly o'er, at last, And soon be history of the past This question I am handing out; What will we have to talk about? What will the Papers have to say To till their columns every day? What will the speakers loudly shout, And arm-chair critics rave about? Now there's no war, I spose we'll hear The latest scandals of the vear And when we meet @ friendly We'll talk about his rheumatiz. The weather, too, will take its place Of interest to the human race, Babies and clothes and such like must Be given time to be discussed Still, 'twill be mighty hard without The awful war to talk about from morn to phiz Pay-Station Rates To Apply in United States Hotels Washington, Nov, 21.- Hunlreds of 'hotels, apartment houses and clubs throughout the country will soon have to lower their charges for telephone service to five cents per call.
