We are so calloused now as re-
CARDS new scientific devices growing
out OF the war that scarcely any
thing in this line stertles up very
greatly, OF the transatlantic sub
marines, however. there is one
startlingly interesting feature which,
apparently, has escaped comment.
That is the psychology Of the officers

grea; merchant marine locked at
Baltimore. the whole world stared
speechless. But few noticed the inter-
view with the commander. Yet here
were mo most starting revelations.
The commander expressed absolute
confidence in his cause. in his ability
to return safely. and in his superiority
over his enemies
He said that on the way over,
while lying ON the bottom OF the
ocean. he had read IN English many
OF the fine gems OF our literature. lie
had also reserved a few hours for
lLsen. Tolstoi, and some OF the
great French philosophers in their
native tongue. The captain of the
Deutchland, however. was Just an
ordinary German. lie is not of the
Prussian aristocracy, nor is lie a
man OF great social or political
prominence. lie embodies the aver
age cultured, intelligent German.
and as such is practically spokes
man for his class.
The extent and range OF his read
ing shows the marvellous cultural
pr paredness OF his people: his sub
marine pourney typifes the extent OF
German scientific preparedness and
his absolute confidence in the sue
cess Of his mission shows the moral
preparedness o. the German people

American Fair Play.

While the people OF the United
States have been sending thirty mil
lien dollars worth OF relief TO Europe
and Turkey, two hundred thousand
women and children in Albania have
died OF starvation.
While each woman and child in Bel
GUM has had plenty to eat, women
and children in Albania have gnawed
at the carcasses OF dead horses in the
streets.
William Willard Howard OF New
York, who has returned from his
third trip to this hunger zone OF
Europe, predicts that the entire popu-
lation OF Albania will die of famine
and pestilence unless helped. He
says that in Albania corn is fifty dol
lars bushcl, -four eighty dollars a
sack and marcaioni five dollars a
pound.

have proved their skin by actual work
and ncccess in similar places--and
