London, Jan. ia new public
danger threatens the country in the
difficulties Of burying the dead. 1t is
caused by the scarcity of undertak-
ers, fiin-makers and grave diggers
and has resulted in delaying funer-
ais for days, a condition which if ag-
gravated by an epidemic would be-
come very serious. To forestall
that danger and also to remedy the
present situation compulsory crema-
ton is being advocated
The tribunals which sit in all
parts of the country and hear ap-
peals for exemption from military
service, have pressed into military
service every man whose work is not
indispensable to the existence of the
nation. The result is that they
have "combed out" the undertaking
trade and taken mcst OF the skilled
grave diggers for another sort OF
digging.
1t seems also that the shortage of
ioffins is countrywide. The head OF
the largest undertaking firm in
London which used to turn out be-
tween 600 and 700 coffins a week.
says that to add to the difficulties
the railroad authorities have made
new regulation that nothing over
lie pounds is to be sent by passen-
ger train. This means that coffins
with a few exceptions will have to
be shipped on freight trains. There

of one who gave his life for the
cause which he dearly loved, is ap-

it is worth much to me to stand in

trained to be the servants OF his
will: who enjoys the beautiful.
loves truth, hates wrong, loves to do
good, and respect others as himself.
From his enemies (and he had but
few). his weakness and faults are
soon; from his friends, his virtue
and ability are known. Thus, we
can see that, when our enemies
(many of them) overlook our good
parts in order to light upon our
sores. and our friends turn the tele-
scope upon the good and hide the
fault they see, this is reputation
not necessarily character. However,
IT may happen that character and
reputation are the same. In Stone

character and reputation are the
same.
