In many European countries tine
best people'-if you know what that
lneans-never battle In water.
Spanish matrons have expressed
much surprise at my complaints about
the absence of bathing facilities in the
Madrid hotels One lady, wife of dis
tinguished member of the cortes told
me she had herself rubbed down In oil
once week, but never had got into
tub Of water and never would.'
My memory Of London hotels goes
back to 1915, when there was not
single bathtub In any hotel In that city
A tin pan and bucket Of warm water
was the only tub" and sou were
lucky to get that.
And In that same period in New York
city the Metropolitan and st. Nicholas
hotels, supposed to be models Of excel
lence, were totally wanting in bath
rooms.
Admittedly. it is as difficult to imag-
Inc life without motorcars as without
bathtubs, hat the former are less than
Il twenty-year-old necessity. while the
bath was an institution long before the
times Of the Roman mperors.--Julius

Our Coal Resources,

Are our coal mines being exhausted
by their vast production? Not ut rate
which need worry us or cause fears
that the next generation will freeze to
death. Nearly ten years ago compe-
tent engineer analysed the figures of
soft coal production and reserve and
concluded that If our output continued
to increase according to tile growth
shown up to that time it would reach
n stable maximum of $500 100000 tons
per year about the year 2lJO and that
700 years more Of production ut that
rate would exhaust the known coal
measures Of the United States
Since he wrote production has ad-
vanced at Il slower rate than he antici-
pated and important new deposits have
come to light. There should be nd
waste of our mineral fuel, but neither
is there any occasion for alnrm. An
thracite, Of course, IL another matter.
But even Of that there Il enough to last
for at least a century.--Chicago journal.

A Municjpal Bat Roost.

The only municipal bat roost in the
world has been erected ut San Anto-
Mo. Tex. The bat has been discovered
by DR.. G. A. Campbell Of San Antonio
to be one Of the greatest enemies Of
the mosquito, which Is largely respon-
'sible for the spread Of malarial and
other germs.
Mr. Campbell is authority for the
statement that the yearly toll OF this
nation to malaria Is conservutively
$l00000,000. He has also demonstrate
cd that single bnt will consume as
many as 260 mosquitoes IN one night.
AS 1t requires seven days for the cycle
OF evolution to complete itself in n
mosquito that has bitten an infected
person before 1t can transmit The dis
ease to another, 1t will be seen that In
regions where many bats are flying all
night the chances of catching the mo
squlto and stopping the infection are
large.

RESCUING HUMANITY.

The war has reached a crucial point
And freedoms arm Is out Of Joint;
The foreign menace must be cured
And ruthlessness no more endured.
No longer can the world withstand
The crimes OF a rebeIlious land;
No more can murderous intent
Run rampant on a continent.
Thus it becomes our nations Job
To make the pulse Of freedom throb,
And give sweet liberty q berth
In every corner of the earth.
So must she now prepare to fight
For Law and order. peace and right.
And when a country goes clean wild
To whip her Ike an erring child,
So must she now traverse the sea
To rescue all humanity.
And when some potentate runs mad.
To HEX him as a naughty lad.
There Is no dream Of fond delight
In sending soldiers out to fight;
There is no pleasure, joy or thrill,
In going out to die or kill.
And yet when duty sounds her can
II is the privilege Of all
To serve the cause Of liberty
In rescuing humanity.

The Rise of Nivelle.

France has chosen wisely in en-
trusting her fortune and her future
to the gallant Nivelle, who is batter
ing away at the southern end of the
so-called Hindenburg line with results
fully as brilliant as those achieved by
Haig in the Arras offensive.
.Nivelle succeeded Marechal Joffre
as commander-in-chief of the French
armies. Joffre left the tradition OF
the Marne behind him; posterity will
know him as the savior of France
But original intellectual genius was
required for the intricate offensive
and defensive strategy in this war.
Petain supplied this for the defensive;
he saved Verdun from the grasp OF
the crown prince. Nivelle applied
himself to problems of offense, and
as early as last December revealed
the falsity of certain postulates re-
garding the invulnerability of the
German trench system. He struck
back with telling force at the Ger
man positions around Verdun.
1t was an experiment, perhaps,
when he was chosen for the highest
post in the French army; but he has
already proven himself. Joffre, soon
to be the guest of the American
people and of the city of Washington,
is one of his warmest admirers. The
coordination of the Nivelle and Haig
attacks is Towering into its full effect
iveness. 1t has gathered momentum
sufficient to drive the Boche far be-
hind the previously prepared" posi-
tions upon which he hoped to make
his stand. 1t is no longer fantastic
to assert that the Germans will be
out of France by the end of the sum-
mer, or perhaps long before that.
Of course, it is quite possible that
Hindenburg will throw sufficient re-
serves on the western front to stay
the attack. But that means he will be
compelled to abandon his cherished
drive" against the Russ and the Ital-
ian offensive which was being incu-
bated. 1t is apparent that the Ger
man staff is in a quandary and is
floundering about in the torture of
doubt owing to the disarrangement
of its plans and the necessity for a
new and magnificent victory" to
maintain the ebbing courage of their
people.
