OUR DEADENED SENSES.

(F'reSnO, Cal, Herald.)
Do you remember the sinking of
the Titanic in 1912?
1t was a marine catastrophe that
shocked the entire world.
The Importance of the news OF
the sinking of the Titanic may best
be illustrated by the number Of ex-
ira editions the daily newspapers
issued so that people could have
first-minute information; by the
screaming headlines and the pictures
that sometimes occupied an entire
page.
1t was a big piece of news; the
biggest in a long, long time.
But the other day there came the
information of the sinking of the
French liner La Provence.
There were about 1000 people
lost on the Titanic; on the Provence
there were nearly 5000 sent to a
watery grave.
The Titanic news caused extra
editions after extra editions through
out several days and several nights;
the Provence disaster caused news
Why the difference?
We have grown accustomed to the
news Of several thousand killed in
two years Of world warning. Where
as the Titanic disaster was good"
for column after column of news
matter that taxed telegraph wires,
the story of La Provence's disaster
was carried in a few short para
graphs, that scarcely caused a stir
in any newspaper Office in the coun-
try.
That's what two years of war have
done to US. Our senses have been
deadened. And a lot more has hap
pened to us than deadened senses.

DISCRETION OF FAMILIES.
CFrederick. Nd. News.)


Charitable societies throughout
the United States are reporting a
large number OF cases of abandon
ment of families the past winter. In
some cases the women are left des-
titute by reservists who went back
TO Europe 10 fight. But 1t has been
noted for some time that assertions
are getting more common.
The societies make the curious
statement that these cases are most
frequent either in hard times or very
good times. In the former the hus-
bands become disheartened and sim
ply lie down under the load. It's
cowardly. but some men are built
that way. In good times men get
distant jobs unknown TO their fam
lilies. They may long have wanted

Family abandonment nowadays is
a prominent cause of poverty. Many

The deserter may be merely over in
