REMEMBER THAT

REMEMBER THAT
Little drips of pleasure,
Little dribs of "blues,"
Make of life a treasure
Of variagated hues.
If you chance to doubt this
Bit of posie stuff
Life s a lot without bliss,
Or care to call it bluff;
Pass it to brother,
Whose saneness has the worth
To not let gloom ensmother
Enchanting hopes on earth.

"HICCOUGHS OF THE SEA-
Scientists Explain Frequent Reports
of ~Cannonading Heard in the
North Sea.

Paris.-The frequent reports, which
subsequently were not confirmed. that
heavy cannonading had beer heard in
the North sea, have led to an investl.

closed that the reports Of detonations
were authentic, although no firing took
place.
Scientists who were on the lookout
for a repetition OF this phenomenon
We're rewarded by hearing loud detona-
tions off the coast on a day when it
was known that no naval action what
ever was in progress. This plenome-

off the Department of Pas-de-Calals.

coughs of the sea" in Holland, and
sometimes are referred to as marine
bombs. The same phenomenon has
been observed on the banks Of the
great lakes and on the great plains Of
the Delta of the Ganges.
After the theory that these detona-
tons were produced by artillery had
been discarded, it was thought possible
that they were the result Of electrical
discharges. Finally Able MoreuN no

Endurance, Not Snowy Battles,
Will Decide This War.
Case CT One Of Cars Troopers Cited
to Show Endurance Of Russians
Perforated, Anxious to
Return to Front.

Warsaw.-There can be no doubt
o. that this war is going to be de-
cided, not by a series OF brilliant,
snowy victories in grand battles, but
by a trial of stamina and power OF en-
durance between the allies and their
Teutonic enemies.
Nowhere do the conditions OF war
demand OF the allies SO much patient
endurance and Indifference to great
sufferings as on the eastern front.
where the Russian army is laboring
under most cruel disadvantages owing
to scarcity of railways and almost to-
tai absence Of good roads, while the
Germans have in their real the most
perfect system Of strategic railways
in the world, built entirely for the pur.
poses OF an aggressive wal against
Russia.
For this trial of endurance and
stamina the Russian army is emf,
nently suited. both collectively and in.
dividually. There is no other soldier
in the world who a stand SO much
physical pain and privation as the
Russian.
In this connection IN may recall q
characteristic scene described in the
Russkoye Slovo of Moscow, by its cor
respondent at the front.
