man has solved a problem which has
been giving him more or less concern
for some time and in the solution of
the problem he has provided an ad-
mirable plan for treating the river
embankment at the pumping station.
For several years there has been

ly determined to protect the embank-

by concrete wall that will harmon

battle fought by the Canadian division

latter had released the asphyxiating
gases and how. although greatly out
numbered, they succeeded with heavy
losses, in recovering four British guns

In exports of domestic pro-

States made a new high record

and exports combined totaled
S4,442,864,272, an increase of
84,000,000 over 1914 and of
1854, 100000 over 1918, the
prior high-record year in total
trade.
Exports in 1915 totaled ST.

IN POLAND AND ELSE
WHERE

IT. HE battle around Warsaw
W brings Poland into the
limelight. Many years
ago Poland was a nation. II
fell because it was betrayed by
its own nobility or patrician
class. The common people of
Poland were patriotic and
ready at any time to fight and
die for their native land.
But there was an ariStocracy
that thought more of selfish
ness than of patriotism. They
objected to reforms in behalf
of the people and preferred
the partition of their nation to
the loss of any of their unjust
ly held privileges.
The same thing has been
true of other nations of the
past. No nation should rely
too much on its aristocracy or
upper crust" The strength
of a nation is in the manhood
and stamina of its commonI
people. The same thing is
true of cities and communities
here and everywhere else. The
man or woman will
be faithful and loyal while too
often those who should be the
last to yield are often the first
to prove false. 1t is not poetic
but it is true.
