Joy in battle and the longing for it.
Let US ridicule to the utmost the
old women in breeches who fear
war and deplore it as cruel and re-
voting. No; war is beautiful. It's
august sublimity elevates the hui
man heart beyond the earthly and
the common. In the cloud palace
above sit the heroes Frederick the
Great and Bluecher. and all the
men of action-the Great Emperor.
Moltke, Room, Bismarck, are there
as we'll, but not the old women
who would take away our Joy In
war. When here on earth a bat
tie Is won by German arms and
the faithful dead ascend to heaven,
a Potsdam lance corporal will call
the guard to the door and old
Fritz (Frederick the Great)
springing from his golden throne,
will give the command to present
arms. That is the heaven Of
Young Germany"
After reading this kind of doctrine,
preached to the youth of Germany
many months before the war, it is
hardly Surprising to find the following
from a pamphlet by a German pastor,
Baumgarten, commenting oN the
of the Lusitania:
Whoever can not prevail upon
himself to approve from the bot
tom of his heart the sinking of the
Lusitania, whoever can not con-
Quer his sense of the gigantic
cruelty to unnumbered perfectly
innocent victims and give
himself up TO honest delight at
this victorious exploit of German
defensive power-him we judge to
be no true German"
Several other sections or chapters
Of extracts reveal further German
purposes and more detailed schemes OF
as well as views sancti-
flying war and taking 1t for granted
that Germany was chosen divinely to
rule the world.

The spare cockerels from the early
Matched broods sell readily for Droll-

The way to avoid competition with

When the turkey is ready to bring

Average Woman's Part in
War Not Spectacular but
1t Is of Vital Importance

You may think of the war nursing
service as a pyramid. The apex. which
alone comes in contact with the fight
ing forces, is the small group of pro-
fessional nurses. Behind these comes
a slightly smaller group of nurses
aids, nonprofessional women selected
from the Red Cross training classes
who will have charge of the house
keeping arrangements of the hospitals,
and who will also to some extent be
permitted TO give nursing attention to
soldiers in convalescent homes and
camps, says the Red Cross Magazine.
But the base and most of the super
structure of the pyramid are the tens
of thousands of capable women every
where in the United States-in the big
cities and the small towns and on the
farms-who will keep the small pro-
fessional service supplied with hospital
necessities, attending In various capac-
tiles to their manufacture, collection,
packing and shipment to central de-
pots. Here the average woman must
ind her opportunity. The sacrifice
of time and money for such service is
not as inspiring as the direct ministra-
ton to mangled and bleeding men In
khaki-the movies will not pay so
much attention to it--but who shall
say that because of its prosaic drudg-
cry 1t is not after all the more heroic?
Who can measure the patriotism
which will keep women on lonely
farms day after dsy bending over this
work, with none to applaud or even TO
know of the loving care put into those
stitches?

Hunting the blue Tiger"
With the Mercury at $50
Not the Greatest Sport

Hunting for tiger in climate where
the temperature at midday registers
$50 degrees and at night 95, and where
the humidity approximates 80, would
not be considered sport exactly by the
everyday citizen. Yet ii is only one or
the conditions with which Mr.. ana
Mrs. Roy G. Andrews had TO contend
in leading the Asiatic geological expe-
dition of the American Museum OK
Natural History.
Organized early in 1915 for the pur-
pose of collecting geological and eth
biological material In southeastern
China, the members of the expedition
went to Fukien province, where the
first real collecting was to begin. The
account of their progress says in part:

specimens of the blue tiger. MIR. An
drews was fortunate In making the ac-
quaintance of Rev. Harry r. Caldwell,
q missionary, who, having seen two or
these animals during his residence IN
that region was the first to give au-
thentic reports of the presence or this
species of tiger. Members on two oc-
casions had the blue tiger almost with
in reach, but he could not be induced
to come out into view from the grass,
which would have given an oppor-
tunity for shot. During their stay
in this province, however they secured
about $50 birds and 80 mammals.
which have already been received at
the museum.
"While in the vicinity OF Li-Chiang
the expedition worked for seven weeks
on the slopes of mountain $4,000 feet
high, and during that time collected
more than LOO mammals, which indi-
Gates the richness of the fauna. Among
other specimens, they secured Ave gor-
ais and four sorrows. Both of these
animals are exceedinly rare and diff
ficult to obtain. A large percentage or
the mammals secured here will UNI
doubtedly prove new to science, since
no zoologist has previously visited this
region"

Day Dreaming

oh. they sing of the day Dreams;
The April and May dreams,
That gladden. the sensitive mind.
To doze all forgetful
OF matters regretful
Is pictured gently refined.
It's exceedingly pleasant
To live in the present
Like frolicsome kitten or pup,
But IL has this objection,
You'll find on reflection,
That some day you've got to wake up
The toiler and schemer
Regards the day dreamer
AS quite an impractical elf.
Who makes plans artistic
On lines altrustic
And fails to take care of himself
So while we are drifting
'Mongst fancies uplifting
And quaffing serenity's cup,
Let's still be preparing
For doing and daring,
For some day we've got to wake up.

Barbed Wire for Trenches.

One American company alone, the
American Steel Export company of
New York, has sent to Europe since
the beginning of the war more than
1900 tons of barbed wire, which in
its way is as effective as machine gun
fire in stopping the rushes of German
troops. This amount of wire, if
stretched out in a single line, would
extend $4,000 miles; that is, it would
girdle the world at the equator with
a three-strand fence and have enough
left over to build a similar fence from
New York to France.

cracking out to the four corners of the
earth and over the surface Of the
Seven seas the word that the imperial
government of Germany and the
UNITED States of America had come to
grip of battle. On every American
iwarship and at every American naval
or military station, some scores and
some thousands of miles away, receiv-
ling antennae tingled with the news as
lit came sputteringly but quickly to it's
aerial destination.
A few days later another govern
ment order was set forth declaring
that the authorities at Washington
had decided to take over control of the
wireless facilities of the nation and
that all private apparatus for sending
and receiving must be demolished. Po-
lice officials all over the land got busy
at once, and thousands of amateur
photographers found themselves without
.avOcation the next morning. In New
York city alone 998 wireless stations
were silenced, an index of the enOr-
NOUS growth that aerial telegraphy
had achieved.
These two instances witnessing the
indispensability of this mode of com
.munication make difficult of belief per-
lhaps the statement that 1t is just 40
years ago that the science of tele-
graphing through the air without
wires was for the very first time
brought to the attention of the con-
% ha tot nd hot
the application for permission to in
corporate a company to try out the
''crackbrained" scheme so tlckled the
disabilities of the honorable representa-
tives that the proposition was very
nearly laughed out of court.
Eventually, however, the idea SEEM
ing harmless, If entirely mad, the de-
sired authority was given, and Mahlon
Loomis, a dentist of Washington, D. O.,
was told that he could go ahead and
do anything of the kind he liked. So
ia q spirit of entire levity the lower
house accorded the initial recognition
to what has developed into one of
the most marvellous and most serv-
iceable of all manifest work of genius!
The name of Guglielmo Marconi, the
italian, is inseparably associated with
wireless telegraphy in these days, and
as is so often the case the men who
I ,blazed the trail are forgotten. SO
Mahlon Loomis and many like him
have passed into the obscurity of
memory, their achievements receiving
only scant mention even in the books
which give the history of the science
as It developed.
The Washington dentist was, how
ever. a pioneer in one respect which
has reserved for him a modicum of
fame: he first of all scientists proposed
to use the present method of conduct
ing the electric impulses by means of
long masts and even erected struc-
fure for the purpose on the banks of
the Potomac river in Maryland, where
he for a time carried on experiments.
Therefore the records mention him In
a long list of illustrious men as one
who really did something to advance
the cause of wireless investigation.
