War Distances

FTOn Ilt-bIIss
War. besides being n great leveller. Is
also a great educator. Places We had
never even heard OF previously are now
becoming as familiar In our mouths as
household words" The distances so often
mentioned In dispatches are apt to be
somewhat confusing unless understood. IL
ought, however. to be quite easy to re-
member that metre measures about
l LIZ yard, or more exactly 39g7 inches
A decametre is 10 metres. a hectometre is
100 metres, and kilometre is 1000 metres.

Pessimitic Prisoners

From Harper Weekly.
Perhaps no influence Is more malign
than that of the testimony of Germa n
prisoners. especially when they happen
to be wounded. These German prisoners
are always telling of disbursement,
starvation. decentralization and despair In
the German ranks. OF course they are.
Put yourself In the place of a captive,
and decide whether you would not be very
gloomy about the condition of your own
side. and whether you would not be prone
to account for your own capture and
whether, in face of the overwhelming fact
of helpfulness, you would not feel the
promptness of certain instinct to plea Sc
your captors. I should, anyway. just as
| should be afraid of shrapnel AS evil
dence of general conditions in an army.
the statements of prisoners are scarcely
worth printing.
