HONESTY.

The real test OF honor's not when all
your skies are fair,
Supplied with all he'll ever need most
any man is square.
The man with plenty in the bank wont {
lie or cheat for more
or try To dodge the Just accounts that
he has bargained for,
But more than that must honor show
to little that amounts;
The honor that is genuine is honest
when IL counts.
Let trouble come and clouds appear
and fortune so astray.
How do you stand unto the debts you
can't afford to pay?
llo do you meet the men you owe,
full face or do YOU finch?
And can your conscience say OF you,
you're honest in a pinch?
And are YOU the sort of man that in
the face Of trouble stands
Prepared to make the sacrifice that
honesty demands?
The word of any man is good II keep
ing Il requires
No tax upon his ease or wealth or per-
sonal desires.
But when n promise made Nnatures
that calls for sacrifice,
Do YOU escape by cunning means or
strive to pay the price?
Mans honesty cannot be told in days
of his success.
The honor that is genuine is honest In
distress

sions will take up shipping problems

Germ in planning for transporting and
supplying American troops abroad IN
the event an American army Is put on

1t is believed the commissions will
work out with the American govern
ment some plan for apportionment Of
cargoes among the allies so that each
will be assured of sufficient supplies

ranged for the classes of the supplies
sent abroad that food and munitions

Against Sub

Washington, May 1.-The United
States has already placed q consider
able amount of ship tonnage at the
disposal of the entente allies Lord
Eustace Percy. ship expert with the
British mission. said today that the
government had supplied certain yes
sells to be used according to the allies
needs but refused To indicate what
they were or if they were the seized
German ships.
Lord Percy declared that the present
rate Of British construction of ships
and the present estimated American
rate could not keep pace with the pres
ent rate Of destruction by submarines.
The balancing figure in the world
struggle" said Lord Percy, us the
tonnage the United States can supply"
The shipping issue" said Lord
Percy, dominates everything else and
is very grave indeed Both the pres
ent British construction and the esti-
mated American construction cannot
keep pace with the present rate Of de
struCtiou. Both must be speeded up
very appreciabIy if the seas are to be
kept open The war has resolved it
self into a race between the efficiency
OF the British and American ship yards
and the German submarine.
The balancing factor in the world
struggle is the tonnage the United
States can supply. Only in case this
is large can the present military ser
vice and food supply be continued.
This is the most vitality serious prob
lem which cannot be exaggerated.
