DON'T DIG YOURSELF IN

What is the matter with the United
States?"
AS | have been residing in London
since the beginning of the war, / have
been hearing this question asked on all
sides. | have never heard any salts
factory answer. No one seems to
know.
Why are American factories not run
ming night and day? Why are the rail
roads not opening up new territories
and getting ready for the millions of
immigrants who have already made
up their minds to leave Europe as soon
as the war is over?
Why are not fifty American drum
mers in London right now trying to
sell 5000, coo, 900 worth of American
goods in place of the goods that were
bought last year from Germany and
Austria?
the United States is a haven of peace
and security and prosperity. 1t has
no troubles that it dare mention to
many or Servia or Great Britain or
Russia.
Every tenth Britton has enlisted.
Every tenth Frenchman is at the front.
Every tenth Belgian is dead. What
does the United States know of trou-
BILE?
If | could afford it, ! would charter
the Mauretania and Lusitania and con-
vey a party of 5000 American adver-
Users to Europe for a trip of education.
| would give them a week in London,
a week in Paris, and a week in Ant
werp.
would let them look at the United
States from the scene of war. | would
let them see trains, ten at a time, five
minutes apart, packed with the manned
and the dying.
would let them hear, from the frag-
mentary survivors, the incredible story
or Dattlehelds, 100 miles wide, and
armies that are greater than the entire
population of Texas.
would let them see graves 100 yds
long and full, and Belgium. the country
that was, nothing now but 10000 square
miles Of wreckage.
Then, when they began to under
stand, to some slight extent, the mag
nitude and awfulness of this war, |
would say to them:
Now, go back and appreciate the
United States. Realize your oppor-
tunities. Don't start digging trenches
when nobody is firing at you. Don't
fall down when you have not been shot.

DIVING FOR THE SUBMARINE "a

The sinking of the ga" of the Ha-
waiian submarine f%lotilla, during ma
neuyers in Honolulu harbor on March
25, when it failed to rise after diving
with y members of its crew. is the
first fatal disaster that has occurred to
an American under-sea craft. An ac-
count of the disaster appears in the
June Popular Mechanics magazine, and
a number of illustrations show the
work of locating the lost craft, which
involved some remarkable diving. The
article states:
I'm making the unprecedented dive
to the bottom of Honolulu harbor the
naval operative wore an ordinary div
ing suit. Altogether he was under the
water for about two hours. The re-
scent was made very rapidly, only
five minutes being consumed. After
inspecting the hull of the submerged
vessel and ascertaining how the lines
Were lying, he commenced to be
raised to the surface. An hour and
forty-tive minutes was spent in doing
this, so as to accustom him slowly to
the decreasing pressure and the final
change to the normal atmospheric
pressure. This procedure is made nee
essary by the tremendous pressure a
diver is subjected to when under a
great depth Of water. At 300 feet this
amounts to approximately 100 pounds
to the square inch, or for a Ii Of
average stature, an aggregate load of
possibly 40 tons. A quick descent is
possible, since an increase in pressure
can be readily withstood by the body,
up to a certain point, but on ascend
in aevery possible care must be taken
to allow the body to become accus-
toned to the lighter load. This is the
reason that seven-eighths Of the time
the diver was in the water was spent
in raising him to the surface"

GOING TO HEAR HAMMERSMITH

But there is a brighter side of the
relation of church members to their
duty as given by Margaret Slattery
in an inspiring article some time ago
in the Congregationalist, under the
caption, Along Lies Battle Front
She depicts visits made in the dead of
winter to a large tuberculosis SAM
forum and a home school for the
blind, and to have found in each case
charity works We're church people.
She also writes of dropping into three
meetings. in three great cities where re-
lief for the unemployed was planned,
only to find the vast majority of the
audience to be men and women di-
rectly connected with the church, sup
porting it, and now giving to help lift
the great burden of suffering, the
causes of which they only half under
stood and the remedy for which they
were searching in the darkness.
IL net in the ante room of one great
hall', she continues, "a group of men
who were running their business on
full time at a heavy loss to themselves
that they might save from poverty the
families dependent upon the men that
they employed.
Out in the corridor l met a woman
who had sold one Of her motors, Civ

wrote their checks and put their hands
deep down into their pockets.
