The Dogs Eye V;ep of Life.
From the Spectator, London.

1t is no longer possible to take a bird S eye view of life. Like a
dog in a crowd, we must be content to follow IL noses till destiny
may deliver us. In ordinary times we do i'll some hypothetical sense
foresee the future. We know, of course, that any moment may be
upon man s willingness to forget these facts. We pretend to ourselves
that we are immortal, and by the light OF experience we foretell and
act upon a calculation of probabilities. We say that tomorrow we
will do soand-so, and next year something else, and a few years
again. But now at the present crisis we cannot see a step in front
of us. The longest sighted admit themselves short sighted. We do
not know where we shall live, OF what we shall do, or what our income
will be, or what will be the demands upon it. We do not know, alas!
whether or special trade r profession will rivive, or whether our
particular form of leisure will be tolerated. We ire, as we say, sat
a loss to know'-our vision is crowded out by events greater than
ourselves. There is a sense i'll which each one of us must drift, how
think about the great things of life and say, Shall we ever be
ourselves again?" and we look at the little things close to us and
wonder if the potato patch will be once more a lawn.
The effect upon character of this increase of sorrow and decrease
of care cannot but be great. We cannot take thought for tomorrow
even if we have no heart to enjoy today. Most of us are doing hard
work, often of a mechanical kind, needing close attention. It is not
only the soldier who has been obliged to submit to discipline. The
discipline of detail is a stern one, and to that we have all had to
submit. The word Sirksome" comes often to the lips of the grumbler.
Setting aside, however, the small spirited men who wlimper because
they cannot make up their minds to Inconvenience, there are a great
number Of usually cheerful people who find the present circumscribed
outook-we are speaking only of each mans private horizon
distressing. They have lost the pleasure of planning. They have
always been accustomed to feel that. however disagreeable their
present situation, happiness lies before them. This, that. and the
other fortunate event will come to pass, they feel sure; their under
takings, failures at present, will succeed; their children will take a
satisfactory turn; they mean to live in a more suitable place. To them
all expectation is roseate. Even if they are fortunate thew do ut
dwell upon the moment. They love to feel how things-in the future
will go from good to better.
Occasionally we all, even those Of us who admit that the screening
off OF the distance has been something of a rest, become tired Of
our own short view. We grope to the window and try to out.
the blind remains down. We must go back and busy ourselves in
our enclosure.

Sammy Is a Friendly Critic.
From Answ ers, London.


The American soldier has become quite
A familiar figure to us in the London
streets. He is. in his own eloquent slang,
a rubber neck"-a raw sishtseer, deter
mined to see everything.
Have you ever noticed the air of i'm
mense interest he wears as he "mooches
round, absorbing the sights and sounds
of this old city?
Say. stranger" I heard one Sammy
remark, this little old tow OF yours
is fine and dandy. But I'm awful lone
some for a real building!"
He went on to describe the glories and
the conveniences of skyscrapers, of CEN
trail heating, of lightning speed elevators.
But We've got to hand it to o for

ously. England can knock spots off the
L. s. A. for natural beauty
American soldiers are prepared to like
Britishers. and do like them. They can
be frank in their criticisms, but they are
equally frank where they consider praise
is due.
Your English girls are the l~oveliest in
the world!"
That comment has been made very often
by them in the last two months.
London theaters certainly beat ours to
a f~rizzle.!' So spoke a big New Yorker;
and a man from Chicago echoed his
opinion.
Yes. the Sammy can be generous in his
praise. He is a bit argumentative, of
course. We can't blame him for that.

bring the young folks together; it would
give them healthy exercise. You ought to
get a hustle on, and start things!"
Air raids have been a matter of great
interest to the newcomers, one of whom
said:
Guess we didn't realize there was a
war on until we heard the bombs DROP
1t has been rather difficult to persuade
the American soldiers to take cover dur
ing raids. Many of them have stood boldly
out or doorsteps, gazing skywards, re-
CARELESS of shrapnel n high explosives.
''This is too good to miss!" they are apt
to declare. Its a dandy show. for sure!'
There's one point about the fighter from

mism; his perpetual cheerfulness.

Harry LADDERS Prayer.

This prayer for America and the allies, was written by
Harry Lauder, the famous singer, while he was in Detroit,
November IA. 1t was requested by the editor of the Chalmers
Monogram, house organ of the Chalmers Motor Car company:
Let us remember we are all citizens of a great nation
AMERICA. That we are what our forefather made us
Freemen-and that we never will in any degree subject our
selves to the dominion of German Prussian rule.
We believe what God says: We should love our enemies,
but God does not expect us to love His enemies.
1t is not for glory, riches or honors we fight, but for
Liberty alone, which no good man loses but with his life.
Harry Lauder.

DISAPPEARING PROPELLER.

A motorboat with a disappearing
propeller and shaft is the novelty of
a Canadian designer. Any obstruc-
ton met-such as a sand bar
pushes the propeller and its shaft
upward into a housing above the keel
and they can be raised BY the boat
man whenever desired, thus convert
ing the craft into rowboat. AS they
are eleyated the engine is automat-
ically throttled to prevent racing: a
convenient foot lever gives Control of
speed without touching the engine
and also transforms the little vessel
from one type to the other at the will
of the operator.

PIGEON FLIES 1900 MILES
Returns From New Home to Former
Owner, Who IN the Meantime Had

Sherlock Holmes may be living in
st. Paul not as a man, but reincar-
mated as a carrier pigeon, Old Cabin
Pilot by name, owned by al Vowlcs,
says the st. Paul Dispatch.
Mr.. Vowles and pigeon were living
at GA Dunedin terrace, when Old
Cabin Pilot was sold and taken to
Edmonton, Alberta, where If lived
for eight months. Old Cabin, how
ever, was a patriotic bird and much
preferred the United States, so at
the first opportunity it escaped.
Then, after coming 1900 miles
back, its Sherlock instinct developed,
for it found its former master gone,
and all traces of the old life removed
from the place. .---,-'
The next morning at 412 East
Belvidere street, three-fourths of
mile away, when Mr.. Vowles awoke,
Old Cabin Pilot was occupying the
loft which had been removed to the
new home. How it traced its way
through unfamiliar places is not yet
understood, but Mr.. Vowles declares
that he and the pigeon will never
part again. He expects to send two
young birds TO REPLACE It. Ii z i
