the presence of labels of foreign hat-

people connected with the hat trade

My Dear Dr. Thomas:

Allies as essential to a permanent

It may very probably arrive that

ture of the French coast to Calais, anti

lt‘t‘l' stain duo, This will not be ac-
c-plcd by the Allies. for they feel that
nothing bill the destruction of German
inilitarism will ever secure a perma—
tteut peace and they will demand the
surrender of tlte German colonies, At-
HICC‘ and Lorraine, and indemnitlcs
sufficient to fully rcpay at least Bel-
utum for w but site has suffered, and
pt'obablyalso the other Allies tor the
devastation of territory. The ultimate
Litallvau soltttion is highly problemati-
ctl. There is no doubt but that the
principle of nationalities will receive
some adequate solution, while. at the
some time. giving to Servia. ltaly, Bul-

One of the unexpected results of the

ttat things should ever fall back to
their former condition.
In France. there are some by-pro-
oicts ot‘ the war that are. not wholly
bad—on the contrary, are likely to
produce permanent results of the high.
est importance. lit the first place, there
is the hearty cooperation of all class
es in the defence of the “Patric." this
is proving to clericals and anti-cleri-
cals alike that patriotism is not an
exclusive product of their own particu-
lar brand of opinion. nor restricted en-
tirely to their own camp. The other
day, on the battlefield. a young i‘atho-
lic soldier lay dying. A Jewish rabbi
passing in and out among the wounded
came upon him and seeing that lie was
will alive, bent over him. He gave
him a drink and eased him as much as
l-0ssible—--the young man wanted to
confess and receive the last rites of
the. church—there was no priest near.
and no time to search for one; the
Jewish rabbi heard his confession and.

Another fruit of the war. the devel-
opment. of patience and persistence,
the manifestation of a dogged deter-
mination and obstinate holding on, is
a surprise, to all who don't know the
French nation in a crisis The fact is
that the French are a people who at-
ways show up to the poorest advan-
tage in normal times. It is only in
crises that they show at their best. I
have seen them now in the Separation

have seen the dignity and calm, the
quiet determination with which they

mistaken for the real thing.

The article in the 'iribune was as
follows:
Anonymous advice usually goes into
my waste basket. But 1 recently re-
ceived a tip which was stimulating
to action by virtue of its remarkable
and adittirable brevity.
"Look into men's hats," wrote my
nameless correspondent. and. having
said his say in four words. said no
more.
Well, I have been looking into men‘s
hats as unobstrusively as possible
wherever I have had opportunity. and

there is no more reason why a senat-

Knowing this. I appealed to an old
friend, who is the head of a wholesale
hat and glove concern. to tell me why
so many Americans wore foreign hats
"They don't.“ said be briefly. “They
do." I insisted. “i have been looking
at the labels. Fully thirty per cent.

Armed with this suggestion I set out
about my wanderings in Hatdom in
the course of which I ttot only collect
