The United States government is
reaching out for great number Of
camoufieur recruits, and it will be
pleased 10 hear from those who are
expert in making objects seem differ
ent from what they actually are. In
the French army there are said TO be
$4,000 such artists, and the opinion is
freely expressed that the United
States should have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the services of as many more.

settlers, circus side-show painters, re-
tired dime-museum operators, people
with a genius for lending enchantment
TO the view, near or distant. the man
who can make a cannon look like a

innocent irrigating ditch, will probably
be welcomed by the committee on ma
tional defense. There is place In
the nations service for everybody who
Is willing and able. and the frst-class
faker. apparently. is going to have an
honorable place in the war.

Italy must be supplied with all the
things necessary TO keep ii in the field.
1t must have food and fuel and steel.
1t is estimated that 1t needs $4,000
tons of shipping a month. We can sup
ply much of this now, and probably
all of it before very long. Italy occu-
pies an important position upon enemy
territory. and continuance of its cam
paign will force Austria TO its knees,
and that will mark the end for Ger
many. Italy's resources are not great,
but its drives at Austria must not be
allowed to slacken. and if we cannot
give Italy all it needs Immediately, we
can supply it with enough to keep it
actively in the field.

The ear made bad mistake when

The ear made a bad mistake when
he consented to have a revolution start
ed as a means of Withdrawing from the
war-if that is what he did Starting
a revolution is like setting a fire in
house. The trouble may get beyond
control. Certainly it did In this case.
At the present moment the ear and
his family are living in fat at To-
bolsk. but that is not the worst of their
miseries. The authorities in the To-
bOlsk district are issuing food cards
and the Romanoffs must obtain their
food the same as other citizens The
probability is that the czar with his
food card will find it difficult to pro-
cure caviare sandwiches three times a
day.

1t was well for us to recognize and
to try to escape from our own lirni-
tations even while we take an indul-
gent attitude toward the limitations of
others. Those others we can see so
plainly. Their limitations fairly OBJ
trude. They must be themselves. even
as we must be ourselves. The tone of
each individuality must go sounding
through the years. Is there not "a Ger
tain pathos here? If we feel it, we
must find 1t easy to make allowances.
With those we really care for we, as
rule, have little or no trouble. We
may even enjoy the little betrayals Of
qualities in themselves not attractive.
Some such sentiment must be felt by
a mother for her children, even for
those children that occasion the most
anxiety.

If as we grow we can encourage the
life's drudgery will vanish. If we can
learn to gather the sweets from good
ness it will have more attraction for
us. It's not the burdens that crush
men to earth. It's the way we look at
them. It's not toll that is the curse
of man, but the fact that it has be
come matter of compulsion. We
need men who will show us how to re-
joice in demands upon strength. We
need characters that will show us how
to turn toll TO advantage that will give
us pleasure as well as profit fnan-
cially.

cost of sugar ought To remember that

WOMEN FOND OF SACRIFICE
Seemingly No Extremes to Which They
Will Not Go for the Husband
They Love.

Women often rush in where angels
with any kind of Judgment would fear
TO go. Strong men are faint-hearted
by comparison to good-intentioncd
women in their reckless dashes, usual
ly to give assistance to or throw some
protection around a man.
A case in point is that of Caliior-
MIA woman who has just offered to give
up her children and sacrifice herself
in devoted effort to make Il man OF
her husband, rancher. Trying 10
make a man of a husband is Job none
but woman in whose veins flows the
blood of martyrs would think Of. Many
women have tried it, but who knows
their names? How many have any
| thing better than the frayed and tat
| tered remnant of lifetime wasted il
endeayor to make Il miracle ore of the
routine duties of domeSticity? Only
| the woman with the self-Sacrificing i'll
stinct cultivated to the precipice of
genius tries it.
If he is not up to the lowest limit OF
] tolerance common weight-by the
time he is-oh, whatever age he hap
pens to be when she has him thrown
on her handS-she may as well make
up her mind to take him as he is. II
| nature, through the centuries during
which men have been evolving, could
not do better with him than what she
sees has been done, why should one
lone woman hope TO take it up there
and make him into a man: Yet here
is woman who has lived with him
: long enough to be convinced, offering
to give up her children for one more
chance To turn a husband into mar
before she acknowledges defeat.
