by one minute. Nathan's boat came
nearer 70 her expected speed.

SOLDIERS ON FIRING LINE
DO NOT FEAR "LADY DEATH"

story after story comes to us from
the very front of war-mere samples of
the floods of self Sacrificing courage
among the heroic ages of the world
"Formless and colorless and common
place" men were calling our modern
life only n year ago. There was little
in Its record to make the eye kindle or
the heart leap up, or the breath come
fast. as we attempted to make real
to our imagination what was happen
ing. But who shall dare TO say that
now of what our brothers have at
tempted and attained? Listen to an
extract from the letter of an Italian
private written from the front Here"
he says. "the talk is only of Trento
and Trieste. and of our wonderful can
non. No fear is shown or felt of Lady
Death. We all have blows to give,
and II our dreams could come true our

tales to relate. tales over which we
will laugh and weep all our lives" We
cannot all attain to the exaltation Of
feeling OF Private Angelo Cipolia, but
we plodders. upon whom perhaps the
lassitude OF age is creeping, may
breathe deep breath with him in his
trench upon some Alpine mountainside
and feel pang Of envy for his defiance

The worlds diplomacy has tried

diplomacy has been, even UP TO our
own day, synonym for intrigue, an
afront to considerations Of honesty. a.
violation of principles that are es-
teemed binding in their personal re.
lations By the very diplomats them

hypocrisy that we term diplomacy is
revealed. perhaps only partially. in
much OF the political biography of the
outbreak of the present war. one
statesman commenting OH the
marked discrepancies between the
varicSated- color papers OF the ma
uons, was quoted as saying that no
nation was bound. in publishing Its
diplomatic spondence, to include
any more OF that correspondence than
was necessary to establish his coun-

no one Is in position to point 20
omissions or emcndations that may be
made in the published text.
Europe in this year. 1915, presents

ways had supreme Indifference to con-

IL is a wide swing OF the pendulum

changing conditions are gradually

tribute grain and no longer needed in
these republican days. BY great dill
ecnce few earn ten cents d day, but
very many not more than three or four
cents. The order kept is remarka bile
and the treatment fair and good. as far
as the casual visitor can see. The
overscers are women. Only a few
tailors and a few guards are needed
and they occupy a separate room where
the finished work is received. Mis-
sionarics and native helpers connected
with the wonans board work in Pc
king have interested themselves in
these patient toilers and been cordially
received. The guards consented to let
them mingle with the workers and
even invited them TO come often and

missionary writes.

sitting on their mats COO In each Of
the rooms, our hearts went out TO
