At i I la or Joshua.
From the Review of Reviews.
It was In 1900 when the Germans took
part In Ihe expeditionary force that went
to China to subdue the Roxer uprising
that Emperor William Instructed l'to
troops to "be as terrible as Attila's
Huns.” It Is this, doubtless, that has led
the English newspapers to refer ordinar
ily to the German soldiers ns "Huns” and
has resulted recently in some instructive
books, written to tell us again the story
of the terrible Attila, who had the cour
age to fight the eastern Roman empire
and also the western. But the present day
Germans do not derive their spirit from
the Huns. Instead of quoting Emperor
William of 1900 we should quote his 1914
proclamation to the army of the east
early In the present war, from which
thesp are typical sentences: "Remember
that you ai'e the chosen people! The spirit
of the Ixird has descended upon me be
cause I am the emperor of the Germans.
I am the instrument of the Almighty. I
am His sword. His agent. Let them per
l»h, all the enemies of the German peo
ple! God demands their destruction; God
who, by my mouth, bids you to do His
wIlL”
"Onward with God!” is the German
motto, the word that the emperor Is al
ways sending to his own soldiers and to
those of his allies. It is a “tribal God"
that the Germans worship and the high
est duty which this kind of religion en
joins its that of tribal aggrandizement. To
destroy the neighbors and possess tlieir
lands Is the chief aim of German exist
ence, according to this form of national
istic faith. To understand the conception
one has only to read again the annals of
the chosen people of old, as they were
embarked upon the task of creating an
empire under the leadership of Joshua.
Growth of Gray’s Elegy.
From the London Chronicle.
Thomas Gray took seven years over the
composition of his immortal Elegy, aad
even on its completion showed the utmost
diffidence regarding its publication.
Indeed, he does not seem to have seri
ously considered the question of printing
the poem until—through Horace Wal
pole's enthusiasm in distributing manu
script copies—it came to his ears that
the Magazines of Magazines intended to
make use of It, when, to counter the pir
ates, he gave Walpole instructions “to
make Dodsley print it immediately from
your copy, but without my name."
Five days later, on February 16, 1751,
Dodsley, with commendable promptitude,
issued a large quarto pamphlet, anony
mous. entitled “An Elegy Wrote In a
Country Churchyard.”
Within 10 years 15 authorized English
editions were called for, the pirated edi
tions were countless, and It was “lifted”
by about every magazine in the country.

When Petain Met Petain.
From Answers, London.
I heard a yarn about the French com
manderlnchlef the other day. Ho was
driving in a motor with an equerry past
a town near Verdun when he came upon
four little boys marching ‘.n single file,
arrayed in soldiers’ helmets and carrying
real bayonets.
The sight of the little faces, almost lost
In the real soldiers’ helmets, amused Gen
eral Petain, and stopping the car, he
said to the leader of the file:
“You are brave fellows! What is your
name?”
“Oh. I am General Petain!” replied the
boy, who had no idea to whom he was
speaking.
This reply greatly amused the general.
“Well, my name is General Petain,
also.” ho said, “and I am very pleased to
have met you!”
The two generals then shook hands,
gravely saluted, and parted company.
France Iron at Core.

For France at that time thought itself
physically degenerate and morally decad

for had not the whole world said it to her,
to her face in a perseverent reiteration
lasting flomo 40 years, ever since 1870? The
world was talking through its hat; it had
been influenced by the cunning, patient,
and sinister campaign of Germany, by the
hypocrite, scandalized, and pinched ex
clamations of tory England—England

U. S. NAVY SECOND AGAIN
i
From the Scientifio American.
We are told by the secretary of the navy that practically every
ship in our navy is in commission. It was shown in March, 1917, that
in dreadnoughts we had 12 in commission to Germany’s 22 (this is as
suming that her statements of losses and the Jutland fight were true
—a very doubtful possiblity)—that we have 22 pre-dreadnoughts to
Germany’s 19, and that Germany had also five battle cruisers.
Our pre-dreadnaughts are greatly superior to those of Ger
many, for the total energy of our main armaments in 3,877,000 foot
tons as against 1,500,000 foot-tons. Furthermore, our dreadnaughts
average 25 per cent greater displacement per ship, and it is fair to
assume that, ship for ship, ours are superior in offensive and defen
sive power to those of the enemy. Personally, the writer is convinced
that in gunnery, especially at the longer ranges, our ships would com
pletely outmatch the Germans.
But Germany is ndt building capital ships, nor can she under
take any for the rest of the war. The United States on the other
hand, when war was declared, not only had under construction five
! superdreadnaughts of 32,000 tons—ships superior in every respect,
to the latest German ships, each carrying 14 to 18-inch armor and a
battery of 12 14-inch, 50-caliber guns—but plans were drawn and ap
propriations granted for four ships of 32,500 tons, carrying eight
16-incli guns, and four huge ships (the biggest yet planned in any
navy) of 40,000 tons, mounting 12 16-inch, 50-caliber guns. Also,
work had started on a program of six 35-knot, 35,000-ton battle
cruisers and 10 7,500-ton, 35-knot scouts.
For military reasons nothing can be said about the speed with
which this great addition to our first fighting line is being pushed to
completion, but the scale upon which our yards, public and private,
have been enlarged, and the size of naval appropriations, must con
vince the enemy (himself, because of other crushing burdens, unable
to carry on capital ship construction), that we are in a position, if we
so wish, to add to our fleet of dreadnaught battle ships another one
equal in numbers and considerably greater in fighting power, to say
nothing of six battle cruisers of far greater speed and power than
the five possessed by Germany.
With the completion of our new fleet—all of it authorized be
fore the declaration of war was made—we shall possess 25 dread
naught’s to Germany’s 22, six battle cruisers to her five, and a de
stroyer fleet that will greatly outmatch hers in numbers, size and
fighting power. Then shall we regain our former position as second
naval power.
Women Police Permanent.
From the New York Times.
There is a women’s police service In
England, which Is doing valuable work
quite distinct from that of the women
patrols, a report just issued announces.
The women have proved so useful that
they may be continued as a permanent
branch of the police force in times of
peace.
In July, 1016, factory police work for
women was introduced, and daily de
mands for the women officials are coming
In from factories in all parts of the United
Kingdom. Since that time the women
have been tried out and found to be
courageous and cool in times of danger,
and endowed with much tact and discre
tion. In one of the factories where the
women have displaced entirely the men
police, civil and military, several thousand
women are employed in the manufacture
and handling of some of the most danger
ous explosives of the war. When there is
an air raid these women police clear the
factory of all employee and are loft with
the firemen in sole charge of the place.
Their work is to etand guard at the
sheds and powder magazines, and not a
policewoman has ever shirked her dan
gerous duty. The cost of training the ;
women Is supplied by the people inter- ;
•8ted In the movement.
Last July, one year after the first had j
gone into service, there were 612 of these j
policewomen on duty.
Policewomen, in their course of train- I
Ing, are given a special drill, they attend j
the police courts to learn court procedure !
and how to give and take evidence, they |
study first aid and take lectures in civil !
and criminal law, with special reference |
to the laws relating to women and chil- .
dren. They are taught patrolling, in- i
speeting lodging houses and houses of de- |
tention. In the course of ‘Itils training it j
lias been discovered that the average
Englishwoman knows very little of the I
laws for women and children, or their en- i
forcement. and It is found that they go i
more readily to policewomen than to i>o
llcemen to at;k for information and ad- j
advice.
The report states that good work could
be done all over the country by police
women in dispelling this ignorance, and
that it would do much for the protection
of children.
i
A Typewriter.
From Cottrell’s Magazine.
About as useful a present as a parent
could make a C-year-old boy or girl Is a
secondhand typewriter, both from a
stand point of amusement and education.
With a typewriter a child learns to
spell, read and compose sentences with
out knowing it—the element of interest is
added to learning, which is the very best
kind of education, because it develops the
will, the desire to do, along with the de
velopment of the intellect.
Then another thing, the typewriter
today a universal implement in business,
and it is becoming to be so on the farm
and in the household.
The typewriter is simply a device for
more efficient expression and by its use
the facility of efficient expression will
become more universal.
Many classes of men of good education
and of fine training, both in mind und
hand, are denied an extended facility of
expression by reason of the fact that they
do not write legibly, often times the very
nature of their training and employment
prevent the skilled use of the pen or pen
cil in writing.
For instance, draftsmen—architectural,
mechanical and free hand—are usually
illegible writers because the hand for
freedom in drawing with a pen or pencil
is in another position from that of free
dom In ordinary* writing.
In other words a free hand in drawing
is a cramped hand for writing.
The same 1/s true of the finest mechanics
-sav watch tool makers, and for about
tl*c -T«.me reason as in the case of the
draftsman.
The most skilled draftsman I ever knew,
one who could draw' ail architectural
forms and compositions with absolute
abandon and freedom wrote an absolutely
illegible hand; he could not compose a
letter, he had no facility of expression,
simply because he could not write.
Take the farmer who may be ever so
skilled in soil and animal culture and ever
so well schooled In the matter of general
education, yet no one can expect any very
great facility from him in the use of the
pen or pencil.
Any of these could develop the use of
the typewriter in a two finger way. which
Is about the technique of the average
newspaper man or telegraph operator.
This give* more speed, facility of ex
presslon nn«l legibility than they could
get with a pen or pencil.
The Canadian Result.
Prom the Fargo. N. T>., Oouri •r-Ne\v«. the
Non-Partisan league Daily Newspaper.
Canada has the heart and the deter
mination to “see it through.” That is the
result to be read from the returns of the
dominion elections, which Indicate a
strong government victory, a victory
fought on the single issue of conscription
versus volunteering.
Canada's decision Is extrerm ly signifi
cant to the United States. A land whoso
whole tradition and precedent was for
the volunteer method and which only a
few months ago took pride that her sons
went freely and of their own accord has
turned to the draft as the only fair way
and the only efficient way. Those who
said that the draft law in the United
States spelled the political death of those
who voted for it will find themselves very
much mistaken when the issue comes to a
test.
No nation can fight in this war on a
50-50 basis. It must be all in the war or
all is lost. Volunteering is a 50-50 method.
All citizens in war must yield to tho
common will. There will be other tests
of united power before we are through
with the struggle. War will demand gifts
and service and the nation will take them
with small ceremony. We must v'.eld
tremendous power and not pause t«u d'Jib
bie over tlie lawr of it. It is a national
necessity, a necessity which will brush
aside precedents, but not the kind of
necessity which will brush aside honor as
Germany has brushed it aside.
Canada's action means something of
even more direct import to the United
States. It Is Canada’s pledge to her neigh
bor to remain a full partner In the outer*
prise of laying autocracy low.
The New French Cabinet.
From the LiOmlon Globe.
The new French cabinet is recogniz -1
a» depending to a very large extent
upon the health of the prime minister,
who, we must not forget, is 7G.
It contains, however, several oner, of
ability and distinction, the senatorial
team being particularly strong, viz., M,
Pains, M. Jonnart ami M. Pichon.
M. Pams was M. Poincare's opponent
for the presidency, who was supported

4 PATIENCE AND COWARICE. 4
! 4 —-- 4
4 By Cardinal Gibbons. 4
4 As an evidence of the righteous- 4
4 ness of America’s cause in the war. 4
4 i would point to the patience of 4
4 our president and congress under 4
4 the long series of grave injuries 4
4 and broken pledges endured by the 4
4 United States during the time that 4
4 Germany was professing Its friend- 4
4 ship for us. We were shocked to 4
4 see our property unjustly destroyed 4
4 in vast quantity, but what was im- 4
4 measurably more serious, to read of 4
4 our men, women and children killed 4
4 in violation of the universally ac- 4
4 cepted customs of the «ca. When 4
4 at length not only American eitl- 4
4 zens but neutrals everywhere suf- 4
4 fered appallingly under the cruel- 4
4 ties of a nation which hesitated not 4
4 to disregard international law we 4
4 learned that patience was being 4
4 construed as cowardice, and that it 4
4 was folly to hope that wiser coun- 4
| 4 sels would prevail amor.g our ene- 4
' 4 mies to bring about a change In 4
! 4 their lawless policy. Then we took 4
I 4 the only course open to i:s, the de- 4
' 4- fense of our sovereign rights as a 4
i 4 nation ar.d the upholding of the 4
[ 4 ideals of truth and justice in the 4
1 4 hearts of all peoples. We have 4
4- entered into the struggle with a 4
4 clean conscience, staking no terri- 4
4 torlal or financial gain, but the 4
4 peace of the world, the liberty of 4- >
4 Its people, and th»* security of all 4
j 4 nations. 4

TO RESIST THE ATTACK
of the germs of many disuses such as
Grrp, Malaria,
means for all of
us —tight or die.
Thcso germs are
everywhere In the
air we breathe.
The odds are In
favor of the
germs, if tho liver Is inactive and the
blood Impure.
What Is needed most is an increase in
the germ-fighting strength. To do this
luccessfully yon need to put on healthy
Xesh, rouse tho liver to vigorous action,
so it will throw off these germs, and pu
rify the blood so that thoro will bo no
' weak spots,” or soil for germ-growth.

It cures troubles caused by torpid liver
