Germany sowed; We Reap.

Throughout the period Of the wal before
he United States became a participant,
he German and Austrian governments
acquired the habit of buying war NUM-
ions in the United States so that they
could not be acquired by the entente pow
ars. For the most part the central empire
governments had no hope of getting the
goods into their territories. They merely
cached them, and in the course of months
they accumulated a large supply of ma
,erial of one sort or another.
Now the American republic is in the
var. and in the fullness of time its govern
nent has decided TO take over these stocks
which the Tentonic governments carefully
aid away. 1t is estimated that the value
If the goods, cotton. copper and steel,
which will be acquired. exceeds $50, 900, 0OD.
This is a large amount of property and in
Ill likelihood considerably more than so

There is an ironic turn to the situation.

Dverreached by their own cunning. The

Rudolph Won Valentini is chief of the

He is not a part of the government. He
is attached personally. as are the other

That is whv Won Valentino was in con-

about likely successors to Michaelis.
Herr Won Valentino is quite a humble
individual in the German political
world. Born October IL. 1855, at Crus-

siasm of the patrons of that game and
1ittingly recalled this little story:
Jones was Il golf fan of the dyed-in-

ing golf he was talking golf. and be-
tween those intervals he happily
dreamed of puts and drives. One af-
ternoon Jones ran across an elderly
preacher from his boyhood town.

Altman Rides on a Raft.

from me IODCDU 'nT01llCiC.
One of the most thrilling escapades
i'll the annals of the royal naval air
service is that of Flight Commander
Edwin Rowland Moon, ID. S. o., of
South Hampton, who Was Officially re-
ported early this year to have been
killed In action in German East Africa.
Later it was ascertained that he had
been taken prisoner by the Germans.
1t ppear hat the scene of the adj
venture was the Ruflgi Delta, and the
seaplane carrying Commander Bridg-
man and Flight Commander Moon was
forced to land OWING to magnetic failure.
Having ascertained that the damage
ceeded to burn the machine in order to
get away from an an enemy party
which might have seen them land.
Moon swan the stream, which was
swarming with ~crocodiles, with a view
to finding a boat. but his quest failed.
as did q fresh attempt hex day. Apart
from cocoanuts. the officers had had
nothing to sat or drink since leaving
their station at nightfall.
They discovered an empty house, and
by removing the window frame con
structed a raft.
BY evening Of the third day both Of
flcers were completely exhausted, and
Moon failed to item the tide, and the
raft was carried out to sea.
The raft became partially water
logged, and Moon had the terrible task
Of keeping himself afloat on the raft
and also supporting Bridgman in his
arms to keep his head out Of the water.
Again and again Bridgman was washed
off the raft n was rescued by Moon.
Finally Bridgman died Of exhaustion.
During the fourth afternoon the
raft was drifted back by the tide,
and Moon managed to regain the
land. There Moon collapsed, and could
only point to his mouth to signify he
wanted food. He soon recovered, and
is now quite well.

Matrimony Is Natural.

w. l.. George in Harper's Weekly.
There is something unhealthy and
abnormal in the life of the unmarried
when they have reached an age and a
condition such that their impulses
would lead them to marry. The human
tendency is to live in couples. There are
a few rare people of strong individual
itN Who find all they need within them
selves, who, like NarcisSus, can give a
pure worship to their own image, but
they are few, and nearly all men n
ONE nee the warmth of companion
ship.
Now companionship is a peculiar
thing. generally not found in families.
One can love ones sisters II ones
brothers. but it is sometimes very diff
ficult; one q love ones father and
ones mother, but as one grows older
this becomes almost impossible if one
has to live with them. This because
they are imposed upon one by the acct
den Of birth; because one knows too
much about them from long association,
so that they cease to interest; because
one knows too little about them, never
having been quite frank IN the presence
of those common masters, the father
and the mother, to whom private lives
could not be revealed.
Brothers and sisters form A compul-
sor grouping, and thai is nearly al
ways detestable. Likewise the associa-
ton between parents n chlldren is
exquisite when the child is young and
the parent venerable-only when n is
vigorous and 80 one does not venerate
the people of 60, who have often lost
their brightest faculties. A parent does
not protect when he is 60 because he
cannot, because he is more likely to
want protection himself. The relation
between parents and children grows
| absurd when the children turn into mer
and women 1t subsists on aud lana
syne, on liberation tinged with impa-
thence.

Tribune.

Since the representatives OF Britain.
Prussia, Austria and Russia met at
Chaumont in the closing days of February,
1914, no war congress on European soil
has mad an Importance comparable with
that which is now to take place at Yer
sailles. AT Chaumont the allies met under
the shadow of defeat; Montmirtal,
C%hampaubert and Vauchamps had just
been fought and Napoleonic genius had
given a final proof Of its capacity. Even
at the hour the conference gathered there
We're unmistakable signs that Prussia,
whose army had just been routed, and
Austria, which had suffered heavy defeat,
were ready to retire from French soil and
to make a craven peace.
But Alexander of Russia and the British
representative, Lore Cast!ereagh, had
neither LOST heart nor hope. Under their
influence there was drafted a treaty which
| determined the fate of Napoleon. BY the
terms Of this treaty the four allies bound
themselves to fight. on until rance was
restored to her ancient limits, those OF
1892, and to make this fight each nation
! pledged itself to keep 10000 men in the
field, while Britain promised In addition
a great financial contribution. This treaty
OF Chaumont was signed on March ]. The
end OF the month saw the allies in Paris,
and on April 6 Napoleon abdicated.
President Wilson has wisely sent the
representatives OF the United states to
discuss war. and not peace.
The German people must understand
that the American, British, French and
Italian peoples are resolved to fight this
war through. They must recognize, as did
the French people a century ago. that,
though their armies win victories and
fight on foreign soil, the victories do not
bring an end to the human sacrifice, the

FOR THANKFULMESS.

In the early stages of the war a large
percentage of the wounded developed
a gangrene. Within the year an anti
toxin for gas gangrene a been DIS
covered. The reports from the front are
that gas angren has ceased to be a
source Of terror. We can be thankful
that this menace has been removed.
In 1914 and 1915 a great many wound
I'd soldiers died from lockjaW. Now all
soldiers with dirty wounds are given an
injection Of tetanus anti-toXin when
heir wounds are dressed. LockJaW no
.onger seriously menace the soldiers.
We can be thankful that u soldiers
will not be in great danger from lock-
Jaw.
We know now that our first aid treat
nent of wounds as used by soldiers in
battle did more harm than good. We
aave learned that where first aid dress
.ngs are applied to dirty wounds the
dressing should not remain on longer
han "a hours, and II hours is a better
INIT still. For his knowledge we should
be thankful.
The first Serbian army was wiped out
BY typhus ever. Typnus fever is not a
menace now to soldiers on amy of the
western ronts For this also we can be
thankful.
In 1898 Off small army had %, 900
asses of typhoid fever and $500 typhoid
deaths. E~ngland'S millions of soldiers
are said to have had less than 275 deaths
from this disease in three years. We
nave had no typhoid worth speaking OF
IN our army n we will have none.
Another thing to be thankful for.
The war has taught US how to treat
Infected woun and burns. Our knowl-
edge of pneumonia has been increased
greatly within recent years. 1t is known
that there are several types of pneumo-
cocci. Mos cases of pneumonia are due
20 D~neulnCcocci not ordinarily found in
the human mouth. Pneumonia is to be
regarded as mildly contagious. The Sc
cretionS are to be destroyed promptly
md completely. The serum treatment
cuts HI death rate almost in half. Vac
cination against pneumonia has beer
found to be feasible. We can be thank
eul that some Roadway against this ter
.ible disease has been made.
Methods of diagnosing and treating
meningitis have been developed. The
English military authorities say they
nave controlled meningitis.
Measles has been left uncontrolled
oecauSe it was thought to be uncon
.rollable. AS the result of experience!
in the earlier part of 1917 authoritie!
say that measles is a ~preventable dis
ease and efforts to control it are beins
made.
Venereal disease has always bee
