German defenses had been captured
we began to ask ourselves whether
we had ever known our business. The
German trenches were infinitely su-
perior to ours. They were at the same
time elaborate AMI simple-elaborate
in the protection they afforded the
men who had to defend them, yet easy
to construct when one had acquired
the knacl. A notable feature was the
system of wooden supports, which
made possible the excavation of sub
terranean chambers for the housing of
officers and wounded.
I'VE were not flattered, | can assure
you, to find how badly we had been
beaten at our OWE game. But we de.
cided to put our pride in our pockets
and get the full benefit of the object
lesson that the fortunes of war spread
before our eyes. We commenced to
initiate the German trenches slavishly.
Today the French army from one end
of the line to the other is digging its
trenches la Kaiser, fighting behind
Teutonic earthworks, and the result
has been a decrease in casualties.
But this scientific war Of moles has
led to a deadlock. | do not see how
we shall ever be able to drive the en-
emy from their positions or how they
can dislodge us. The loss of life to
the attacking forces would be too
great | believe that when the time is
ripe the Allies will commence vol
untary retreat. The Germans will pur-
sue us and battle will be delivered in
the open country. Fighting on our
own soil, we should win, as we did at
the battle of the Marne. That is the
only way in which the present intoler
able situation can be ended"
The same officer confirmed the ru
mors to the effect that the Germans
had prepared military defenses in
France before the war Il have seen
many gun platforms, he said, ION
property that had been acquired by
the Germans. On the premises of a
cement company we found series of
trenches at least year old. They
were on the line of the German ad-
vance on Paris"

The Lack Of Smiles.

Personal impressions are always In
teresting, and | find myself uncon-
sciously asking foreigners the oft-re-
peated question: What is the thing
that impresses you most?" A re-
turned traveller who had been absent
from America for many years. was re-
lating some entertaining incidents con-
corning his life in South America. 1t
was all very interesting, but his group
Of auditors, almost in chorus, de-
manded: What impressed you most
on your return to America after eight
years? What do you find different
among the people,"
| His face sobered a minute and he
said, "Ill tell you. 1t is the lack of
smiles. 1t seems to me there are
fewer smiling people than when went
away They don't seem to have the
art of smiling, since the use of the tel
ephone came into effect and the rush
ing about on the street railways and
| subWays and looking aloft for the
flight of airships. | went away with
the impression that the American
knew how to smile. Now you only
cackle."
This remark set the little group of
friends to thinking and looking for
causes. Have these years OF eXampled
prosperity so absorbed the conscious
and unconscious thought of the people
that they have forgotten how to smile Z?
THE eyes do not have the twinkle, "
continued the speaker, that they had
in other days. They greet you with a
hard, lack-lustre look. Even your
friends ask you, before you have hard
ly exchanged greetings, as to how
much you have made, showing the
hard-fisted commercial tendencies OF
the times. The joy and zest of just
doing things does not seem to nave
come with the shortened hours of la
Dor. The listlessness of big, strong
men doing work that does not require
either physical or mental activities is
evaporating lot of the initiative force
of the country"

ARMY WORM CAN DO LITTLE
HARM THIS YEAR
Natural Enemy, Tachina Fly, to
Check Pest.

East Lansing, Mich.-The army
worm. in the opinion of NJ. \. &. men,
is conquered and will not return this
summer to ruvage Michigan farms.
This view is taken as Il result of the
belief that the tachina fly. the natural
parasitic enemy of the worm, has in
creased sufficiently in numbers to hold
the marauding worms in check when
they hatch during the warm weather
months.
1T may be years before we get
such another plague as that of last
year" said Dr. G.. ID. Shafer. assist
ant professor of entomology. "Of
course the army worm is always with
us. but under normal conditions is
held in check by the parasite. IL the
worm comes. the farmers will also
know how to treat him before any
damage is done"
The tachina fly lays its eggs in the
worm. The eggs hatch and the larva
feed off the living worm, which final
ly rolls over and dies.

"THE STATE AND THE CITIZEN"

John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's
1t IL indeed important that all the
sense OF justice and all the intelli-
gence which our population of nearly
hundred millions possesses should
be brought to bear upon the public
policies of the nation. But how Is
this to be done? Is 1t to be done by
an appeal to the unguided will of the
people, without precise knowledge of
the matters involved, but intensified
by class and sectional prejudice? Or
is 1t to be done by an appeal TO the
reason of the people, after competent
masters of the subjects to be consider
haT, made their reports upon them,
and these have been subjected to COM
parison, debate and deliberate examin-
alton by those who have formed defin-
ite opinions regarding them?
There would seem to be but one
reasonable answer to this question.
The plain duty Of every citizen Ia,
first, to instruct himself then to try
to Ak in his mind the principles by
which the common good may be most
clearly promoted and, finally, in a
spirit of patriotism to place his in
fuence at the service of those prtn-
ciples.
There are, no doubt, many new d.
rections in which public policies are
yet to be formed, and there are many
questions which are ripe for discus
sion. There are forms of social justice
which seem to force themselves upon
our attention, and we cannot without
delinquency neglect them; but the
question may be fairly asked, Is there
anything which, as people, it would
be right for us to do that cannot be
done without a reconstruction of the
State, and especially without radical
changes in our fundamental law?
| Believing that the vast majority of
the American people wish to do right,
and have always wished to do right,
the answer TO this question seems
very simple. Until it is shown that
there is some definate thing which we
ought to do, but which we are prevent
ed by our form of government from
doing, we shall act wisely in adhering
strictly to system which has enabled
us to make progress-singularly rapid
and permanent progress toward the
| highest ideals that our people have
| ever at any time entertained.-Davi

Review.

TOO MUCH OXYGEN DANGEROUS
From The American Mechanist.

From The American Mechanist.
In recent publication of the Smith
sontan Institute it is claimed that
diminished amount of oxygen Is harm
full. A noted health resort in the Alps
the barometer stands at such a height
that the concentration of oxygen Is
far less than in the most ill-ventilated
room. One of the unfortunate results
of this fallacy is that the laws re-
garding ventilation of mines insist on
a high percentage Of oxygen, and
thereby increase the danger of mine
explosions. Finally the widespread
belief in the presence of an organic
poison in expired air is equally erron-
eous. The smells of crowded rooms
and the like are no Indication that the
air is deleterious. THE deaths in the
Black Hole of Calcutta, the depression,
headache, etc, in close rooms, are
alike due to heat stagnation; the VIC
Tins of the Black Hole died of heat
stroke" This is a rather more than
is likely to be readily accepted.
1t Is also said that the chemical con-
nothing to do with it's i'll effect; that
apart from the influence of injecting
bacteria, the ventilation problem is
one of temperature, of relative humid
ity and of air movement. The percen-
tags of carbon dioxide in the worst
ventilated room does not rise above
05, or, at most, l per cent, whereas
the normal concentration of carbon di'
oxide in the lungs is from to 6 per
cent of an atmosphere. A great many
experiments and observations are ad.
duced to prove that percentages re-
garded as deleterious or deadly by
hygienists are quite harmless.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Girls can exercise a lot of influence
over men by not marrying them.
A woman can rule her husband with
out being able to do it to the chill
dren.
Telling the truth is not so difficult
it's not telling lie instead that Is so
hard
People will ask you to let them do
you a favor when they wouldn't do 1t
if you asked them to.
Lots of women are ashamed to have
their husbands so unartistic they can't
help being successful.
A great man doesn't feel he needs
fiattery; he feels he can afford to give
1t.
If man is rolling a barrel down
hill he can growl because it isn't
shorter
A man fond OF toasting health and
wealth stands better chance of los
ing both.
The most that any one can hope to
get out of life is sure introduction
to death.
A man who thinks his wife ought
to make her own hats would have
fit If she offered to make his ties.
A woman could give her children a
lot of training If their father did not
need SO much.
There's hardly any kind of fool
equal to the man who thinks he was
different when he was boy from
what they are now.
A man can get mad at an inani
mate object like a piece Of furniture
but he has to take It out on SOMEBODY
