PERKINS, Business and Financial Expert America is face to face with the necessity of revo lutionizing her attitude toward business. The events of our first war year have demonstrated that we are as unprepared for peace as we were unprepared for war. And unless we learn the lesson that this year's events ought to have taught us, industrially and eco nomically, the United States is in for a very severe trial not only during but after the close of the war. The new principle of business that our unpre paredness has taught us is that co-operation and not competition is the life of trade. On our acceptance of that principle depends not only the industrial welfare of this country in the future, but the social status of our people as well. When war was declared this country was saddled with the incubus of the lack of vision of our so-called political leaders of the last twenty years. Politicians had decreed that ruthless competition should rule industry. We have had all the evils that flow from unrestricted competition costly trade wars between economic units that were fighting for the same market adulteration of product and bad trade practices, rebating, secret' agreements, price cutting, low wages, child labor and all their attendant evils. Have we profited by our mistakes? Have we awakened to the necessities of the future? Are we ready to prepare with all possible speed for the new economic conditions that face us? Are we ready to accept the new principle, viz., that co-operation is henceforth to be the life of tra*de and that ruthless competition is no longer the life of trade? The problem, brought fully before us in the events of the past year, is the most important and also the most fascinating of any that this coun- try has ever solved. It calls for the most supremely unselfish and patriotic effort that the people of our land are capable of giving. Baseless Criticism of the Red Cross Is a German Propaganda By HENRY P. DAVISON Chairman of the Wat Council of the American Red Cross There is a propaganda going forth in this country. It is a German propaganda, and it is very prevalent and fervent in the East, even more so than in the West, and it goes much like this: "Did you know that Mr. So-and-So told me last night that Mr. So-and-So said that Mr. So-and-So had been told by Mrs. So-and-So such and such a thing about the Eed Cross Of course I did not believe it, but that is what he said." Now that is nothing more than German propa ganda. It is going to be stopped, not because of any authority exercised by the Eed Cross, but because the public is going to demand that it must stop. Whatever else anybody is going to do in this country, if the people know it, they are not going to contribute to German propaganda. There is another criticism of the American Eed Cross that is a thoughtless kind of criticism, and that also ought to be stopped, and the way to stop it is this: Somebody may say in very good faith that he is told such and such a thing is so. I is our duty to say to that person: "Do you know it is so? If you don't, stop repeating it until you find out, and if you find out that it is so, write a letter to the Eed Cross. They will thank you for your letter." Do not make any mistake about itthe Eed Cross not only permits, but urges criticism when it is constructive and honest But this idle talk going on is harmful, and it must be stopped. We have an organization which is perfectly enormous. It is a volun- tary organization, and we are getting on wonderfully. We have not 100 per cent efficiency, but if people will see to it that the Eed Cross is not criticized except constructively we will get the efficiency. Nation Has Responded Nobly But Still Greater Sacrifices Must Be Made By CORA RIGBY Liberty and democracy! These have been the underlying words, the basic principles, of the loans which the men, women and children of the country have been asked to make to the United States government. The magnificent response to the appeal has been due not only to the fact that the loans were the safest investment in the worlds but rather because, in this form, the people could show their faith, could participate in the war which is to end the slaughter of innocent noncombatants and the ruthless destruction of homes and villages and the laying waste of fruitful lands. The government of the United States will go on asking its people to give its pennies, its dollars, its thousands and its millions until the war is won, confident that every patriot will sacrifice in every other direc- tion that he may have a share in helping" this great cause in these trying days. The people have no cause to blush for what they have done in the first nine months of the war. The government has every reason for grati- tude. The big thing which flares instantly into view when the financial effort of 1917 is reviewed are the two Liberty loans, oversubscribed, not only willingly but joyously, and with the utmost enthusiasm. Splendid as have been the sacrifices and responses of the American people, they have yet to make greater sacrifices and to increase their gen- erosity. The wealthy must pay heavier taxes and lend more money to the government, and the wage earner and small salaried man must manage to give his proportion. The necessity for econoiny by everyone is making itself felt slowly but surely. Everyone must not only give up something that he really wants, but he must make that sacrifice count for the gov- ernment's efficiency in winning the war. THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY. JANUARY SI, 1918 (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) Charles B. C. Ackerson was an ob scure little ^author of unpopular fic tionshort stories that one thanked heaven were short. The difficulty lay not In any lack of language, but in a certain dearth of ideas. Eesult: a dull and tedious tale. Ever hear of him? I doubt i^. Any way, you would be unlikely to know he had a daughter.- He had, though! Her name was Allalie, and her mother had died when she was very small, leaving her to her father's kindly but irregu lar tutelage. As a consequence of which, by the time she reached twen ty, she was in possession among other things of as vigorous an artistic tem perament as the most ardent tempera ment fan could desire. Now an artistic temperament must have its opposite, and hers was H. H. Benninkthough he pretended he had just such a temperament as hers and' swore he was a writer. For Bennink was versed in the ways of women. Moreover, he and the aforesaid Charles were friends. Put this with the fact that he actually was in love with daughter Allalie, and you have a situation that would really have af forded grounds for fiction. "Henry," Charles said one day, "you don't write. I'll wager you never sold a story in your life." "Hush!" Henry replied, drooping a slow lid. "I use a *nom de plume.'" Whereupon Charles had ceased to be concerned on that point. They understood each other, and the sooner a certain marriage took place, the bet ter. But not so Allalie. She wanted a real author, not one who used "nom de plumes" and was mysteriously reti cent about his work. "It's no use, Henry," she exclaimed at length, after he had* been coming to see her for several months. "You've either got to write under your own name, or go awayfor good." Her words were final, and he knew it. "Would you marry me if I did?" he asked. "Yes," she said. Now watch! Bennink, being a business man, be took himself to Charles' inner shrine and sat with him in solemn conclave. There was bold talk, and mention of sums of money in seven figures. An agreement was reached. Then he re turned to Allalie. "My dear," he said, "it shall be as you wish. I shall reveal my identity at last, in a series of stories which I promise to begin tomorrow." And when tomorrow arrived, the series was begun. We must now suppose some months to have elapsed, and Allalie to have become Mrs. Bennink. Do you remember those stories in 's Magazine last year, about the young fellow who succeeded in reliev ing Wall street of so much money? "Henry Makes a Million," the series was called. Perhaps you have forgot ten, but the name H. H. Bennink was under the title. Bennink will never forget. The memorable day the issue containing his first story appeared, he had re turned from the office (Yes, indeed, it is quite customary for authors now adays to have city offices!) to be met on his doorstep by an exultant wife. "Not 0. Henry'H. H. Bennink he had laughed, and kissed her. He said-it bored him to see his name in print. But the arrival of each month's issue of 's continued to be fraught with keenest interest for his wife, and a certain pride in her husband grew and grew. Nor was she unduly proud, for the series was a great success. "A case of getting famous all of a sudden," he confided to Charles one morning. "Why, do you know, dozens of magazines are after me for stories, publishers are bothering me to death about book rights, and seven colleges have offered me professorships in Eng lish. They hail me as the man of the hour, whereas" "Hush!" warned Charles. The months sped on, the series was concluded, and'presently it appeared in volume formso that all might buy and learn how a certain Henry had been able to gather together ten hun dred thousand dollars out of the debris of Wall street. Then, one day, Charles E. C. Acker son and H. H. Bennink voted thenj selves leave of absence and Mrs. Ben nink, returning from an afternoon auc tion party, found the following note from her distinguished husband pinned rakishly to the lampshade in the li brary "My Dear: "I am the hero, your father the au thor. I made the million. He-made it famous. We are on our vacation. Love. HENRY. "P. S.You will find my bankbook in the top drawer of my desk." When Mrs. Bennink found that bankbook,, she learned something that gave her artistic temperament a ter rific jv. and brought her to the con clusion that Henry was more of a business man, and her father more of a writer, than she had supposedand that the combination was ideal both ways.

The state seed laboratory at Uni versity farm, St. Paul, is preparing for a big rush of seed testing through out the remainder of the winter. Last year thousands of seed samples were sent to be tested and because of the seed situation this year R. C. Dahl berg, in charge, looks for a still larger demand upon the services of the laboratory. Seed samples are tested free. Sam ples sent in should be carefully marked with the owner's name and address, Season's Deer and Moose Slaughter. Nine thousand deer and 175 moose were shot in Minnesota during the last hunting season, according to es timates by Carlos Avery, state game and fish commissioner. About 33,000 big game hunting licenses were issued. The commissioner figured that two out of three hunters failed to get big game. In the preceding season 8,000 deer and 2,000 moose were shot, 28,000 licenses being issued. Are We Discouraged? About as good an answer as we have seen is quoted by Senator Kenyon from the lips of a Scot, a lieutenant in the British army, speaking near one of the battlefields: "Of course we do not like this. We would like to go home. But we will fight this thing through, and the kaiser has no more chance of whipping us than a celluloid cat has of catching an asbestos rat in hell.New York Sun.
