\ TRAGIC PATH AHEAD

There is the strongest possiDih'! that the United States will pay as severe a penalty for its participation in the war as is being paid by the people of the British empire. This country is not likely to be invaded. Neither has the British empire been invaded excepting in trivial fashion by German aircraft. But the United States will bleed as Great Britain bled. and sorrow will come here as it has come to our neighbOrs across the international boundary. The war is in such state that no one can foretell its results. But it is certain that before victory for democracy can be won most tragic path must be trod by millions of our sturdiest young men. Therefore, such as are attempting 70 convince themselves that the war will not be felt keenly by the people of the United States have painful surprise coming. and the sooner they undeceive themselves and prepare to give the government their wholhearted and unstinted sup their whole hearted and unstinted sup and for all.

 Save the fats" Is Mary Greens slogan, now that we must feed not only ourselves, but also our allies. " All dripping from roasts and fat from boiled meats should be carefully strained and saved" she declares, flor they can be used in many re- cipes, including those for cookies, cakes, meat sauces and soups."

4 MILITARY HIGHWAY SOUGHT

. ~-Nt t.tg k,.s. A
 Sam Hill, the good road enthusiast, is going to Washington to try to per suade President Wilson to give his support to a plan to build miii- tary highway from the British Col umbia line to Mexico. It has often been pointed out that such high way would prove of inestimable value to the government in time Of war and to the Pacific coast in time of peace. It would afford another means of transportation that would greatly facilitate the developing or the Pacific Coast.
 Already much of the work has been done by the state of Washington oregon and California. The govern ment would be expected to widen the Pacific Highway to an average or front wenty to. twenty-five feet and hard surface that portion that has not already been paved. It would not be surprising if Sam Hills practical knowledge, seconded by his persua- sive powers, did not enlist the Presi- dents support.

REPAIRING THE WORLD

It may seem strange to many per son to say that no one can hope for a return to old conditions at the close of the war, but there is nothing more certain than that the people of the world will not again see conditions as they existed prior to the outbreak of the European war.
 We are going to live in an entirely rew world! The war will change so many things that there must be a general reorganization of govern ments, of business. and even of the fabric of society.
 A tremendous revolution is taking place. There are parts of the world, like the great West, where the pub lie does not yet feel the effect of changes being wrought, but these as they have already reached others. We will reorganiZe as the peoples of ether parts of the world are reor- ganizing, and this process will go on in it's shifting and changing long af- ter terms of peace have been declar- ed
 Speaking upon this question the other day while addressing a depu- tation of the British labor party, Prime Minister Lloyd-George had this 10 say:
 Don't be always thinking of get ting back to where we were before the war. Ge: a really new world. firmly believe that what is known as the after-war settlement will be a settlement that will direct the des- tinies of all classes for generations to come. Therefore you are doing well in giving your time and thought to copsidering-and considering deeply and considering on bold scale. on a daring scale-what you are gong to do after the war. The reader we are to cut away from the past, the better we are likely to succeed. l hope every class will not be hark- ing back to the pre-war conditions, because if every class insists in get ting back to pre-war conditions, then God help the country. l say this in all solemnity."
 There will be no return to pre-war conditio IS. All things will change. It is hoped that governments will be more liberal-more truly representa- tive of popular thought and popular desire. It is certain that the war has changed the industrial life of all na- lions. and it is equally certain that the great mass of the people will have more to do with governmental at- fairs than at any time in history.

sweeps. tie statesmen and lion tanners.
But now. owing to the shortage Of male
labor. it is proposed to make them tea
tasters. To make a good tea faster re-
quires from three to five years hard
training. The matter of digestion enters
largely into the qualifications. A robust
constitution and a cast iron palate are
needed.
