quickly was trained. The submarine
was hailed, but the men on it failed te
hear. The fact that the submarine
was running behind the patrols was
the only thing that saved it. A five
inch gun probably would have blown
lit to pieces if the meneuyerer had tax
en- place on the other side Of the net
Now submarines don't move around
like that at night. 1t was dangerous
business.
Before the feet is darkened, the

an inspiring spectacle Lights, as OF
a city. show everywhere. Blinker sign
els fash on and Designating in the
dots and dashes of the Morse code.
Long fingers of white from search
lights shoot UP into the sky-on and
off-on and off signalling also with
dots and dashes.
Other searchlight peams pick up
boats that approach them, some illum-
irate a landing wharf. Away in The
distance searchlights of patrol boats
flash on every now and then; sweep
tie waters to discover that what might
have been a perisope is only white
cap. Then they flicker out again. From
the shore, at night, boats passing any
where in the neighborhood suddenly
find themselves in the glare of search
lights.
While the guns crews are being
trained on some of the ships, aboard
others are being trained men to run

the United States will operate as soon
as repairs are made to their engines,
and the feet of merchantmen being
built to carry food and supplies to the
Allies. The feet is training engineers,
eiectricians-men to fill every position.
The Atlantic Fleet is confident that it
will be able to supply a full compile
ment for every ship, for the navy is
getting men now faster than ever be-
fore, and if the officers are proud of
their ships, the guns on the decks and
the power of the engines in their bulls,
they are doubly proud of the spirit OF
the new men who are coming into the
navy. A ranking officer said:
"These new men have come into the
navy to fight and they want to get into
the thick of it. We are turning out
guns crews every day and every day
we get orders for more. In three
months from now hany hundreds of
guns crews will have left the fleet for
places where they may sink German
or cheerfully give up their
lives trying And these boys-for most
CT them are no more than that-can
shoot"

of war. Russia has dethroned her czar. Revolution menaces the throne of Spain France and Portugal are republics. England, true, is mon- archy, but limited-decidedly so. The civilized world is uniting against the last strongholds of absolutism. They must inevitably fall.
 That is what this wa: really means. That is the destination toward which it is steadily working. That, we hope, is the end of all this struggle a wider democracy. The fight is for the freedom of the German people just as much as for ourselves; for tl.cir release from the absolutism which has turned their civilization back to barbarism. Our victory Will be victory, not merely for ouselves and for cur allies, but even for those who fight against us.

LET US BE JUST.

That girl should be ashamed to keep company with that young man: his brother shot fellow once." So declared a captious critic the other day.
 Inquiry showed that the young man himself was honest, respectable, with no black sheep taint; that the shoo'- ing had occurred years before; that the jury had declared it justified
 Yet, because of what relative had once done, the captious critic con- demned an innocent man to be per petually ostracized.
 There are lots of people, and some. times whole communities, take that peculiar stand. The entire family is condemned for the crime, mistake or misfortune of one individual.
 Is it fair? If some member of your family were the culprit, would you think it fair for people to blame you And, if not, do you thirk it fair your self to blame a lot of innocent peo pie for what one individual has done

THE .SELECTIvF DRAFT.

A selective draft is not like regu- lar draft. If it were it wouldn't be called "selective," though the differ ence probably has escaped the at. tention of most people,
 The effective draft is one where the efficient men in factory and farm life are left alone. They will not be drafted for the army. The experience of the allies has shown us that an efficient factory or farm laborer is more valuable to the government in his place in factory or on farm than in the ranks, thus giving way for an inefficient man in factory or on farm
 The allies have 'asked the United States to cooperate financially ant industrially first; and this cannot be done if the efficient men are taker from factory or farm.
 They found this out, much to theil cost.
 The modern state must be run like a huge machine in wartime, and tt have good soldiers is not enough there must be good men manning thu industries likewise.4 For withou them "on their jobs' the work of thu armies is nullified.

THE DEATH KNELL OF KINGSHlP.

Germany apparentl' is surprised that America at last did declare war. Surface indications; uiterances more or less irresponsible by American public men; observation more or less inaccurate by friends of Germany all these combined to assure the Ger man war lords that they could re- sume their ruthless submarine war fare and that America would do no more than turn the otter cheek. They seem surprised, too, that America, in the hour of decision, instead of being torn asunder by internal convulsions, is acting as one man.
 They did not take into account the ideals which permeate America; the principles which form the very cor nerstone of the republic; that gov vernment of the people by the peo pie, for the people which lured so many millions of folks acrossthe At- lantic from king-ridden Europe.
 The freedom of the seas, the safety of Americans abroad, has ceased in moment to be the supreme issue. The issue has become, by Germany's $ own act, the democrs. lzation of all mankind. Americas recognition of a state of war sounds forever the death knell of "the divine right of kings"
 That is the outcome which is not at last shaping from this great weltes

SUCH A PERPLEXING PROBLEM.

Talk about women not being capa- ble of handling difficult problems = why, a very little training seems to enable them to wrestle with the big gest problems on earth. Anyway. here's the question which woman's club in California had recently slated for discussion:
 "Mhat should I do if when the fire was going for dinner, my husband should come in with stranger and ask if dinner could be ready in twenty minutes, and I had on hand bread, butter, fruit and a few cold potatoes, half a raw onion, one quart of milk, six eggs, a little boiled rice, a few cooked carrots, and nothing else b;t salt, pepper, vinegar, spices and a bunch of parsley?"
 Yet it isn't such long time that women have been dealing with politi. cal questions in California! This just shows what heights they can rise to if they get chance.
 Honestly, we don't know the an swer, yet we've been voting since the republic was young. The only thing we can think of is "hash."
 At the present rate of recruiting it will take six years to accumulate an army of one million men, Was',- ington reports. And in that time th.' whole million would be all dressed up and no place to go.
