stagnation. Many Of them have taken
with them books OF the most technical
nature. simply too keep themselves
stimulated intellectually. and to make
the gap between their past and their
present seem less extreme. Yet there
is something terribly futile about read

OF your profession when you know
that 1t will be year, perhaps two. be,

heard of one jurist who had taken
Iherings ponderous work ON The
Struggle for Equity with him in his
knapsack, tossing it down in disgust
one evening in his quarters in Bel
GUM, and cursing the luck that forced
him to take up this stupid business
of being soldier, just at the time
when--because of the war--all sorts
of pretty problems that had never
come up before would have to be
solved. I read letter from a sur
geon I know who expresses himself
as bored to death by his work at the
hospital at the front He was an
amateur aviator before the war, and
is piqued that the military authorities
won't let him Join the aviation corps
now, where there are at least some
danger and excitement. He says he
would not mind the work he Is now
doing If the soldiers did not always
insist on getting wounded in the same
uninteresting places--no originality
at all And therefore he can make
no progress in the study Of his profess
sion. I heard of a literary man who
made an excellent soldier--was quick

but felt keenly the lack Of intellectual

~ saw a lovely football game"
Said JOYOUS Geraldine,
~The football seemed quite kind and tame
In a tempestuous scene.
They pushe ed and pulled and pounded II
And slammed II through the air,
The football didn't mind a hit,
II never seemed to care.
At first II was so nice and neat
II seemed a perfect shame
To Jump on " with dusty feet
II throughout the thrilling game.
The mon who played got fearful knocks
Though some Of them fell down
And tore their trousers and their socks,
Their parents did not frown.
Though some Of them went walking out
And others used n crutch,
They still assailed that football stout,
But couldn't hurt II much.
Although ! raised my voice with elee
To hall the %victor's name,
The football really seemed to me
The winner of The gAme.'

VERY 3 E-R FIGHTING
For the Carpathian Passes and
Both Sides Are Claiming
Local Successes.
- Aa.eclA1Ep enras,

i LONDON. April 8. - The cabinet hav-
L ing failed to come to a decision on
the drink question, no settlement is
expected until parliament meets next
week The impression is growing
that the government will content it
self with bringing in measure pro-
hfbiting the sale OF spirits. Even this
step will not be exclusively a govern
1nent policy since nothing can be done
without consultation OF other parties.
Opposition to the suppression Of the
Use Gf spirits is in some degree sec
tional, since Scotland consumes per
capita three times as much spirits as
England and half again as much az
Ireland.
Scottish opposition if solid might
easily cause the defeat OF the meas
ure.
The fight for the Carpathian passes
lis proceeding bitterly. Both sides
claim local successes. The Russians
are fighting their way over four
passes, the Dukla, Lupkow, Uzsok and
u Rostock, the last named OF which is
IL IN their possession. Rostock pass is
not SO important as the others but u
h branch road leads to the rear of
Uzsok pass. which. from the desper-
ate nature OF the struggle in that Vi
cinity. is regarded as the key to the
Hungarian plains. The Austrians
seem to have only enough men to
hold the Russians in check and EVIL
IDENTITY are unable to make any effec-
4 tive counter stroke from Bukodina.
