that great crisis. But 1t was only a
successful expedient. and 1t has since
become recognized that the ~preponde-
rating bulk of supplies must be taken
right up to the Ines by railroads. which
are moro dependable, quicker, cheaper
and altogether more efficient than au-
tomobile trucks for military transport
work. The British have achieved
wonders back of their front in this
direction; and very soon. with Ameri-

behind.
What an enormous factor this is in
present-day military operations will
be better realized If emphasis be laid
on the recent statements Of General
Robertson. the British chief OF staff.
that modern war is rs per cent indus
trial and only % per cent military.
Another fact hat even now Is not
fully realized is that the famous
seventy-five (three-inch gum Is USE
less In trench warfare, and even the
l55 (siS-inch). which used to be the
normal type OF heavy field artillery. is
little better than a p~eashooter against
the underground German army.
The heavier the artillery has become
the deeper has the German army sunk
into the ground, until now nothing
smaller than n .210-caliber eight

French are getting the bost results

Captain Paul Jones
tFrom The Spectator

fFrom The Spectator
Cap'n Paul Jones was a Britsher born; he
hailed from the Solway shore,
But he struck snag with his folks az home,
as many have done before;
He shook the old lands dust from his feet,
and he gave her piece of his mind.
And he never knew that he'd somehow left q
bit of his heart behind
Cap'n Paul Jones was a skipper Of fame, and
dsrned good sailorman too,
And bit of a bucko, as I've heard tell, in
the way he handled his crew;
He learned 'em 20 drill, and ne learned 'em
to shoot, and to jump at the word of
command,
The same as he knew how they learned 'em
to do in the ships Of his native land.
Cap'n Paul Jones was a Brtisher born.
though he changed his nag and his name,
In his Ranger frigate he led US a dance, but
we honor him all the same;
We used to call him pirate then, for he
certainly wasn't our friend,
But he sailed and he fought as a Brtisher
should, which is what matters most in
the end.
Cap'n Paul Jones was Britisher born, which
is why, now the time is come,
He knows the tug Of the solway tide and the
rattle Of brakes old drum,
He is back to the sea in the old, old way,
sailorman smart and bold
And the flag of the Ranger is flying to-day
by the flag that she fought of old.

pensive, it is not profitable to sort the
whole quantity, and so the good perishes
with the bad. To save the good parts IS a
typical feminine job. Womans labor IS
never too expensive. Women are used to
doing for nothing the things men need but
won't pay for. So used are they, indeed
that il provokes scarcely word of COM
ment that big business will not pay day s
wages to save the food for which the world
is CRYING. but it willard rather un-
graciously, too-permit the women to do
this saving for nothing.
Seventy crates of cabbage, according to
the head of the canning kitchen, were the
first DAYS salvage. These were cabbages
whose outside leaves were bruised and dis
colored from rough usage on the train, put
whose hearts within were as white and
firm as the finest product could boast.
These hearts of cabbage sell for 10 cents
apiece in the city markets.
With the poor of the city hungering for
food and the whole world crying out for
who will hold the system
bameless which permits this waste? The
women have called attention to it, but their
efforts to save the leftovers will not solve
the problem entirely. The same law which
demands that food must be 100 per cent
perfect when it enters the city should be
invoked to decree that no food which is 100
per cent perfect shall be thrown away. 1t
should be just as great a crime to send
good food down the bay to Barren Island as
to send bad food across the river to Man
haitian. Meantime, the city should rally to
the support of these pioneers of the pairing
knife. the women who are doing more than
anybody else at the present moment to con-
serve the worlds food supply.

Ballade of the Names Of Fighting Men

(Fron The Westminster Gasette)
John Brown died; was it only dying
That makes him alive for ever and aye,
Or the wonderful name that with two strokes
flying
Nails itself down in the heart TO stay:
There are twelve good men who look on the
day,
And none Of their names can bring US to
shame,
But he who would have good hope on his way
Must go to battle in Johns good name.
Oh, on Harold our king we called, defying
The conqueror men, when our start was
gay,
We put from the land on our Nelson crying,
And laughed of Drake and his hours delay;
And CGur de Lion and Harry we may
Call for when our hearts grow tame,
But our army then, in the first of the play,
Must 90 to battle in Johns good name.
In a comprising cloud we are camped, de-
scryng
Cesar who still has the world in sway,
Sau and David in battle vying
Lconidas still will the Law obey;
What is the name of the plain men, say,
Who have Georges image and Wellington's
fame?
John means an Englishman, and they
Must go to battle in Johns good name.
Frenchmen, when on your darkness gray
The whitest star of the morning came
She who lights US all to the fray
Must go to battle in Johns good name.

The Wild Swans at Coole
From The LITTLE Revssu

From The LITTLE Revtsw)
The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky,
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine and fifty swans.
The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since first made my count
! saw, before had we'll finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.
But now they drift on the still water
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lakes edge or pool
Delight mems eyes when ! awake some day
To find they have flown away?
I have looked upon these brilliant creatures
And now my heart is sore.
Al's changed since !, hearing at twilight
The first time on this shore
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with lighter tread.
Unwearied STILL lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionabe streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old,
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.

The Lady of the PAIRING Knife

The woman with the pairing knife has
transferred her activity from the home
kitchen TO the public dock, and the result
is the revelation of public disgrace in the
amount of good food which is wasted at
the gates of the city. Man, accustomed to
think in terms Of carloads and days wages
for laborers, is put TO shame by woman,
whose life job it is to save the leftovers.
Woman has always cooked potatoes in
their jackets, because even the most care
full peeling wasted layer of food mate
rial. She has devised wonderful-and
sometimes fearful-meat loaves and fruit
gelatines and mustard pickles, in order
that nothing should be wasted. Who will
blame her now for indignation at system
which makes almost no effort to save large
portions Of the produce at the docks?
Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers spoke the
hearts Of million indignant women
week ago when she protested that the way
TO solve the food problem was from the
wholesale end, not from the kitchen. To-
day the women of the Mayors committee
are not only proving her words good, but
ere taking upon themselves the task Of
rectifying TO some extent the most obvious
defect in the wholesale food system.
Five hundred barrels of potatoes were
one item in the list of food condemned to
Barren Island last week by the Board OF
Health because it was not in proper con-
dition 10 enter the city markets. The
quantity fuctuates each week. Sometimes
