Lines Of mothers forming at i'd

In addition to these more spectacu-

undercurrent of silent misery which
words cannot adequately convey to
those who have never been brought
in touch with it. 1t is by no means
uncommon for parents to go mad at
failure to feed their children: old men
and mothers give up the endless wait

body and soul together and prefer to
suffer slow starvation rather than to
be turned away empty handed after
hours of vigil; men, women, and

Perhaps one result of activity in
the North sea will be to teach every
body how to spell Skager Rack, or
Skagerrak, as the Danes have it, and
also refresh popular knowledge of
this part of the map, which the Kiel
canal has a little blurred. In the old
days the complicated entrance to the
Baltic was a favorite speciality of
teachers of geography, and every class
had to wrestle with the names and
twistings of the Cattegat and the
Skager Rack, not to speak of the
Sound and the Great and Little Belt
which last name was also impressed
upon the class in United States his
tory by the British warship which bore
it. But though the natural entrance to
the Baltic is still important, at the
present moment, indeed, of immense
Importance, in our time interest has
been diverted to the straighter and
simpler way which the canal has
opened; perhaps many present-day
pupils would have difficulty in sketch
ing the tortuous bit of coast for the
control of which great fleets are con
tending.
