WAR: A MOSAIC

Through this dread shape the suffering ages look
While the ghost world breath pursuing might
And from Judean hills, with Shepherds crook,
One walks aone-the dread and whispering night
Adown titanic glooms of chasmed fears
That yawn beyond the beetlne brink of death
Where one false footstep in the sckenine
And fumes of gore would rob his laboured breath
Before clothed in change whose name is Time,
There seems no strength in the dumb toilers' tears
To stem this avalanche of legal crime;
aching time! moments big years
As, flake by flake. the beetling avalanches
Crash civilization back upon its launches

Pedestrians Live Long.

Edward Payson Weston, pedestrian,
 was born in Portland, Me, Dec. IS;
 1839,-7S years ago tomorrow-and
 his transcontinental' pedestrian feats performed when he was past the three-score e-and-ten mark furnish added proof of the virtues of walking in preserving health and vigor. Thir- ty and forty years ago pedestrianism was among the most popular of sports, both amateur and profession al, and the great walking matches in American and English cities aroused wide enthusiasm. Most of the famous professional pedestrians of that period attained ripe old age, and not a few of them are still living-and walking. Dan OLeary, next to Weston the most famous of the old champs, still claims to be the champion heel and toe walk CT in the world, althouh he is seventy five. O'Leary, since he commenced his professional career in 1867, has walked over no, 900 miles in England, Ireland, Austria, Canada and the United States.

O'NEIL IS SILENT
 ABOUT HIS PLANS

Hartford, Dec. 17-President Dan .O'Neil of the Eastern league has re-. turned from the National league meet ing at New York and is not ready yet to talk about what the Eastern league will do next season. When asked that question yesterday he replied That is the same question that was fired at me from every corner when was in New York at the National league meeting. I have no answer to make to it at this time except to say that it is up to the club owners, the men who have their money invested in baseball, to say what they will do this coming season. As soon as they de- eide will get out and hustle to make things the best possible for the lea que. To my mind presidents of base ball leagues have been doing too much talking and leaving too little to be said by the men who have their money at stake"

LIKENS TRAFFIC
 POLICE ITO FOOD
 ADMINISTRATORS

Hartford, Dec. 17.--"As between the Food Administrators and the traffic policemen of large city, there is more of an analogy than many people realize, remarked Connecticut's Fed eral Food Administrator, Robert Sco- vile. the other evening, as he sat in the lobby of shis hotel. Continuing MT. Scovflle explained:
 If the traffic policemen were taken off Fifth avenue, and if just half the people who use that thoroughfare at any given hour were to try to go to therr accustomed ways upon it, there would be such a hopeless tangle that nobody would get anywhere at all.
 The traffic squad makes the thor oughfare useful to the largest num- Der of people possible. Food. admin istration, in spite of abnormal condi- tions of supply, trade, labor, and transportation. so directs consump- tion and distribution that each food commodity finds it's widest possible use. instead of being thrown upon the markets in a way that would make it clear sailing only for the speeulator.
 '"The case of wheat provides a fine instance of the advantage of food ad- ministration in the present crisis. Notsonly is wheat being found for the allies by steering 1t out of the usual channels of consumption in this coun- try, corn being used in it's place, but an economic gain is made in the man ner in which it is sent. as, a few fig ures will reveal.
 ''The wheat exports from this coun- try for the period between July and November 188, 1916, were 127, ,218000 bushels. The flour exports for the same period were 5,291, 300 barrels, For the period from July 1 to November +, 1917, the export of wheat was 6S,-, 605, 900 bushels, and of four 6,G91, 500 barrels. The percentage of increase in flour exportation was thus 15.11. The exportation of wheat, on the other hand, decreased 46.07 per cent. during the same period. s-''- ~s77"This means several things that are of importance to us as well as our all lies As far as we are concerned, this sending over e. flour instead of wheat means the retention in this country of large amounts of fodder for our stock It also means that our mills grind the four It is a case, however,
 of equally divided blessings. It means that the allies do mot have to release man-power, more needed elsewhere, for work in the mills. But most of all it means more actual nutrition for the allies, for flour has less. bulk than wheat, and since shipping is the cru cial problem, whatever puts more nu- triton in given amount of space is an unmixed blessing" -4l
