few people there are that we'd like to
have as housemates, even among those

1t is queer, isn't it?
Even the incest people. even the
dearest friends, seldom quite fit when
it comes to inserting them into the
family circle on a permanent basis.
For awhile, all goes well, but there is
apt to come time when a sense of
constraint arises.
OF course there are cases when an
arrangement of this sort has worked

ception rather than the rule. We
often wonder at the fact that we per-
nit ourselves to blow off our irrita-
ton to and find fault with our own
home folks. whereas we maintain our
politeness and self-control with out
sders. 1t is indeed sad that we should
permit ourselves to hurt those whom
we really love the best. but I wonder
if this does not explain why we cannot
live with outsiders? We never speak
our minds to them, we never blow off
our irritation through the safety valve
and lacking this safety valve, the
whole structure of our relationship
goes to pieces some fine day.
Of course, it's rather a sad thought
that we should need such a safety
valve, and of course we ought to con-
tinually fight the tendency to use it,
but after all when you consider that
every human beings most primitive
and naturally dominant instinct is the
desire for his own happiness, is it not
wonderful that we get along with each
other as well as we do?
Why, just think, the altruistic in
stinct, which in the primitive human
being could scarcely have existed at
all, has grown so common and so
strong that again and again one finds
people in whom it has cutstripped the
desire for personal happiness. In the
face of that W no can dare say that the
old world is not growing better and in
finitely better?

haps He who made US will be aston

and the like. The new lines which
are being constructed must be re-
paired and workmen must look after
them ali the time. But in the last
two years these normal construction
and development programs have been
eliminated. The railroads are not
forced to spend money on mainte-
nance of additions. 1t is thus that
savings have been made, and on the
face this looks like efficient manage
ment. 1t is true that necessity has
created greater efficiency, but it is
misjudging the situation altogether to
assume that the operating ratio has
been decreasing solely because of in
creased efficiency. When the normal
development work gets under way
again 1 am sure you will see the
operating ratio increase"

GERMANY,s STRATEGY.

Everyone is sufficiently familiar
now with the two great efforts of
German military strategy, to recognize
both their character and their failure,
that is, their failure as means to end
the war by decisive victory, writes
Frank Fl. Simonds, in the American
Review of Reviews for December in
an article entitled, Diplomacy and
Battle in the Balkans" The first
blow, that at France, failed at the
Marine and the User, but left all Bel
GUM and some 5000 square miles of
France, the great industrial and min
ing regions, in German hands. The
second blow. against Russia, finally
failed at Wilma in August, when the
Slavs evaded the last and most dan
gerous enveloping movement, but this
campaign left all Poland, the Cour-
lard, and a considerable portion of
OLD and White Russia in German
hands-above $4,000 square miles
Only England of the original foes had
so far escaped any serious harm. The
submarine campaign had failed. The
Zeppelin raids had proven useless as
military operations. Safe in her ISL
ands, Great Britain was following her
ancient course ana supplying the en-
emies of continental foe with mon
ey. with supplies, with growing land
forces, while using her fleet to suf-
focate the economic life of the enemy
and to help sweep up his outlying
colonies. AS England had so far es-
capped injury, there could be no peace
with her on German terms until Brit
ain had been seriously hurt. How
could this be done? The only pos
sible approach to Britain was through
British colonies accessible by land
