The war today presents stalemate

could be achieved before 1919. when
the United States might be ready TO

upon the central empires.
Perhaps economic conditions or po
lttieal events in Germany may induce
peace before that time, but, although
Germany is suffering progressively

lautocratic machine and her economic
reserves seem altogether adequate to
hold her together through two more

Private Mac Of an Alberta regiment
had d Epfous INFRINGING in his early
home in Scotland, and his religious in
,clinations did not desert him when his
family settled on AFFIRM in western
Canada. All through the war he has
carried "Spurgeon's Sermons" in his
breast pocket, and occasionally he does
some preaching, with his comrades In
arms as the congregation.
Private G. of the same regiment
lacked the upbringing and the book Of
sermons, but possesses sense of hu-
NOR. The two were in group resting
and smoking, when a shot from Ger
man sniper hit Private Mac in the
breast, the bullet being detected by the
book.
Fearing that Mac was about to i'm
prove the occasion, G. 'beat him to
it, and in a fair imitation Of his
friends best preaching manner started
in:

thing it was that our dear brother

LUxURlANT FLORA OF CHINA
AppelIation "Flowery Kingdom" Sinou-

From time immemorial China has
been called the Flowery kingdom,
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis OF flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert of bar
barism, says a'writer in Scribner's. In
this oasis grew the arts Of the bronze
and stone worker, of the silkmaker and
embroiderer, of the potter, of the paint
or on silk, of the poet, philosopher and
ethical devotee. But China was not
named the Flowery kingdom because
of these flowers of the mind. Her flora
is one of the most luxuriant in the
world. It is estimated to consist Of
some 10000 species, 5000 Of which
ard known and One-half of which are
indigenous and not found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, it is
readily understood that horticulture

Flowers by Mail.

There's a new use for Uncle Sans
parcel post. Suburbanitcs have dis
covered it, to the delight of their city
friends. It's sending pOsies from the
rural garden to lure the cliff dweller
to the commuters life.
Flowers may be sent as far as the
fourth zone without parting with their
fragrance or freshness on the journey,
provided they are correctly packed.
But not all flowers are good travellers.
There is little use in trying to share
the beauty of a bod of popries, cannas,
moonllowerS or others of like texture,
with distant friends. Roses are rath-
cr delicate to send On long trips. But
If they are picked when only partial
ly blown and kept in cool water until
the petals and stems are full, they will
not wilt badly and will revive readily
at the end Of the journey.
