is impracticable. Because submarines
are in effect outlaws, when used as
the German submarines have been
used they must be dealt with
upon sight, if dealt with at all.
There is one choice we cannot
make. 49, We will not choose the
path of submission and suffer the
most sacred rights of our nation and
our people to be ignored or violated .
Neutrality is no longer feasible or
desirable where the peace of the world
is involved and the freedom of it's
people.
We are now about to accept the

TOLD BRIEFLY
THE NEWS OF SEVEN
DAYS In ALL LANDS
War News.

The fall of St Quentin, in the center
of the new German line in France,
within few days, is almost newt
able. The steady advance of the Brit
ish on the north and northwest of the
city and a sharp thrust by the French
ON the southeast have drawn the Al
lies net closer about the stronghold.
r. r. r

latest successful operation reports
that the town of Reims has been vio-
Iently bombarded by the Germans,
more than two thousand shells having

in the center of the so-called linden
burg line, is doubly menaced as a re
suit of recent British gains. On the
northwest of the city the British have
driven forward a wedge in the Ger
man front that resembles the position
held by the French southeast of the
city, on the Essigny Plateau.
r. r. r
Efforts made by Turkish troops to
envelop a British force near Deltawah,
thirty five miles north of Bagdad, have
failed. an official British statement on
military operations in Mesopotamia
says, and the Turks in that region
now are in full retreat.
r r. r
British troops have captured the vii
lagos of Ruyalcourt, Sorel-le-Grand
and Fins, between Bertincourt and
Roisel, on the front in France, accord
ing to the official statement from
British headquarters just issued. A
German attack upon British positions
south of Melville Bourjenval, it is
added. was driven off with loss.

a counter-attack have expelled the
Germans from positions they cap
tured there March %, according to
the French communication just issued.

FOR MAKING CONCRETE BLOCKS

Among the toys of a constructive nature
which have been introduced of late Is a
Notwithstanding outfit which has
the double advantage of being educational
as well as entertaining. In the Popular
Mechanics Magazine the toy is described
with illustrations showing each step
taken in making the little blocks. 1t is
not surprising, in view OF the widespread
use of cement as a building material, that
children's playthings should in some way
be Influenced by this product, but it is IN
teresting to note in what way this has
manifested itself The toy in question is
one Of very modest proportion. Its parts
consist of a tiny bucket, combination
spade and tamper, a sheet metal mortar
box, couple of iron castings and wood
blocks for molding purposes, and a small
bag of sand and cement of the proper
mixture. The whole paraphernalia fits in
a pasteboard box of pocket size. With it
youngster Is able to make his own
blocks. and in a half dozen shapes and
dimensions. With these he may build
houses that look like houses, or a whole
city of them II he wishes. The extent of
his building operations depends solely
upon his store OF cement, which may be
OF almost any commercial brand. Here
an advantage comes, for the boy although
he may be only 5 or 6 years old, may
learn to mix cement, mold It into different
forms and then erect something with the
blocks thus produced. The educational
value Of this Is considerable, for a child
teaches himself something which is of
permanent value and unconsciously in
stills in his makeup that spirit of enter
prise which is most necessary for his
proper development
