demands, and as result instead of the
army becoming overstocked, the chances for
young men to enter as officers have actually
increased from year to year.
To some extent the demand has been met
There will probably be no more additions
such as that of two years ago; but with the
new viewpoint furnished by the Panama
Canal the tendency may reasonably be to
further gradual increases, while, with the
growth of aviation, motor transportation,
wireless work, and other technical branches,
the next ten years will undoubtedly see as
big chance for American officers of the am
bilious kind as the last ten years have shown.

such an interesting and honorable future.
The advantages Of the army over other
moderate professions are many. 1t is not
place in which to get rich; but its reward is
steady, and cannot be increased by scheming
and trickery. An officer is well enough paid
so that he can marry the day he enters the
service if he wants to, while the dread OF
sickness and old age is entirely absent. The
social position of the youngest officer and
wife is exactly what their talents can make
them, and the garrison life, so far from being
the dull routine that tradition would make it,
is socially vivid and cosmopolitan far beyond

SAFETY AT SEA.

The Empress OF Ireland served well
until she met the test. Then she sank
In fifteen minutes. With the shore a
mile away the ship could not be
beached.
Two years and month have passed
since the Titanic sank In midocean
with the loss OF 1886 passengers. In
the first shock the American people
with one voice called for action that
would promote safety at sea. Federal
legislation was proposed, and some OF
II enacted. Ocean steamship com.
panies voluntarily increased their life.
boat capacity. The company owning
the Titanic withdrew a sister ship
from service and rebuilt her, TO make
her safer.
But the bill. sponsored by Senator
LaFollette, which would do more to
promote safety on the water than any
thing yet done. has so far failed oil
passage, because OF the persistent op-
position OF steamship interests. IL Is
known as the seaman bill II is as
much the passengers bill, for Its pro
visions aim at safety for all.
Under the impetus OF the Titanic
wreck II passed the House OF Repre-
sentatives, only to be hung up In the
Senate later. when the influence oil
that disaster had begun to die away
Il was reintroduced by Senator La
Toilette in the present Congress and
this time the Senate passed II. Now
It is again before the House. Is II "a
be hung up there until Congress ad
1 journs. or will the wind which blew
up a wlsp OF fog on the st. Lawrence
last week blow good to unnamed and
unnumbered somebodies?
Strong objection to the LaFollett'
bill comes from the owners OF boats
plying on bays and inland lakes whe
declare that its safety provisions
should not be applied to ships tha'
do not 90 out Of sight OF land. Or
this point the sinking OF the Empress
of Ireland on the st. Lawrence rivel
is staggering piece of rebuttal.-

Budding tree and singing bird,
Joy of Springtime seen and heard
All the wealth of all the year.
Scattered by the wayside here.
But oh, little sister OF mine In the
shadowy places,
Where the wheel turns, and the
small young fingers ply.
| cannot forget that this is yours, too,
to Inherit
The open fields and the streams and
the clear blue sky.
Stirring sap and quickening sod
Miracles, revealing God:
Prophets OF His Fatherhood.
Speaking from the field and wood.
But oh, little sister of mine In the
shadowy places,
Where shoulders droop, eyes dim.
and cheeks grow wan.
yearn for your hand, and road
that leads TO the open,
To the commonwealth Of the fields,
ere the light be gone.
