The Solitary Breakfast.

At first blush breakfast seems So
cable meal at that hour a man is best
satisfied, or least discontinued, with
himself, and in mood to make the
most of the world. Human vitality is
at it's maximum, mere existence Jugs
exhilaration along with it; good humor
nantes everything. But there is an
uncertainty in company even when you
may choose it; for temperament is
never to be wholly trusted (artists are
dangerous people to meet at break
fast), and there are thousand hap
penings-trOubled sleep, early awaken
ing, mosquitoes, surmised mouse. no
hot water, buttoned boots, putting
studs in a shirt-that may occur be-
tween going to bed at night and COM
ing down to breakfast in the morning,
and ill-adjusted feelings in even one
member of the company may dampen
the spirits Of all. Company is no doubt
the better state, and brings out the full
capacities for pleasure that lie in
breakfast, but solitary breakfast is
safer; solitary pleasantness is more
tempered, but it is more certain.-Hen'
ry Dwight Sedgwick in Yale Review.

Keen Competition in War Is Re-
sponsibIe for Remark
able Advance.
HOPE TUNRs TO AMERICA
This Country Expected to Help Win
the War With Germany by Con-
struction of Great Fleet
Of AirpIanes.

New YOrk.-Aviation has made vast
progress in the third year of the war.
The Keen competition in the great
struggle has been responsible for this
remarkable advance. Various types Of
airplanes have supplanted each other
in quick succession. No sooner has
a new type been designed than fast
er plane has been built
The progress of aviation has empha-
sized more sharply the absolute need
of planes and dirigibleS for the army
and navy. Time after time battles
have been won and lost, concerted
drives held back or pushed ahead, be-
cause Of the airplanes.
Battles have been fought in alti-
tudes ever rising to the present rec
ord of some 10000 feet above the level
of the sea, and there has developed a
dexterity in manipulating the ma
chimes in the air such as but few men
dreamed of a few years back.
Early in the fall of 1915 the race
between the allies and Germany in
the air fight became keener than ever.
Experts speeded up their efforts to
improve existing types of planes, with
the result that old machines were
either sent back to the training camps
or to the junk-pile; more and more
men were garnered In for training, as
aviators, and factories were told to
hustle as they never did before.
So fast has been the race between
the contesting powers that neither
can get a commanding position in the
air. Superiority in numbers has but
little connection with actual SUI
premacy, because quality counts for
so much and the standard is raised
so rapidly.
Look to United States.
This boom in aviation was further
augmented by the entry of the United
States in the war. Factories capable
of producing airplanes, but keeping
aloof because the United States was
not involved. changed their position,
as might have been expected, and pre-
pared to turn out planes by the hun
dred to aid in the defeat of Germany.
1t was the virtually unanimous opin-
ion among military authorities that
an influx of thousands Of American
airplanes with trained aviators along
the western front would beat Ger
many without question. 1t was ex-
planned that they could raid the Ger
man depots and munition centers and
cause such damage as to force Ger
many to sue for peace.
Hope was entertained when Amer
lea first entered the war that aerlai
aid from this country would suff1ce

most TERRIBLE THREE YEARS IN WORLD HISTORY

disfigured unfortunates, preventing the
suppuration Of injured tissues, curing
severe burns and doing many other
marvelS.
Widespread Destruction.
The worlds possessions have been
destroyed at a most alarming rate,
Scores of great cities, hundreds of
towns and thousands of villages lay
in crumbling brick and mortar. Mil
lions of homes have been devastated.
New enterprises, new railroads,
bridges, schools, colleges, and myriad
other works of peace have failed to be
built as they would have been in the
normal development of nations. In
stead, the old equipment has been
wearing out. Railroads in the warning
nations have steadily deteriorated for
lack of men to repair and replace
them. Everything that does not serve
the immediate purpose of war has
been neglected.
Somewhere between seven and ten
million tons of ocean shipping lies at

the submarine, the mine and the raid.
ing cruiser. It will take many years
of peace for mankind to catch up in
material things.
Education HaIts.
In the things Of the mind the world
has halted, too. Schools and colleges
are nearly empty. The usual quota Of
doctors, lawyers and trained tech
nicians is not being turned out. Even
elementary education is undoubtedly
suffering.
Against this is to be set inspiration
to the human brain of extensive travel.
The war has stirred up many sluggish
brains. Probably fifteen million Rus
sian peasants, who otherwise would
never have strayed fifty miles from
their native villages, have gone thou
sands of miles away from home to
fight and seen strange lands and peo-
pies and imbibed new ideas. They
have been learning many things.
The war has now gone the three
years allotted by the late Lord Kitch-
ener. His famous prediction was con-
sidered pessimistic at the time it was
made. Few believed the war could
last so long. Many were ready to prove
by pencil and paper that exhaustion
would end the struggle within twelve
months of it's start. Still it RACES,
each day more fearful, and the end is
not yet.

the true patriot he is, and father will
come back the better and more con-
tented for this grand act of devotion
to his country"
Meantime Josiah Barry, cane in
hand, and limping slowly, had just left
the train at its city depot. The noise
and hustle confused him. He partook
Of frugal meal at q cheap restaurant.
He put on his old silver-bOwed spec
tacles and consulted newspaper lying
on the table before him. An advertise
ment headed BUY Liberty Bond"
engrossed his attention. He memorized
the address of the brokers who had in
serted it's State street. Then he
took up his slow tramp again
Inquiries and kindly given informa-
ton landed him at length in front of
the massive building, every window Of
which bore flag, where the glitter
ing plate-glass windows of the broker
age firm occupying the main floor were
filed with colored Autographs COM
prising pictorial invitations to the
passer-by to invest in Liberty bond.
Josiah went up the steps with winces at
various rheumatic twinges, but came
proudly erect as he advanced to a
counter, behind which handsome,
pleasant-looking young man was d.
recting the operations of some clerks.
'Good morning, sir" he spoke cheer
lily to old JOSIAH ''can we be of service
to your"
''Why, yes, think you can, and I
certainly hope you can. l want to buy
a Liberty bond"
"Good for your commended the
young man. Come in and rest your
self; you look tired"
Its the hard pavements," explained
the old man, and he followed his host
behind railing and sank into lux
uriously padded chair with sense of
rare comfort I think I'd better ex-
plain at the start, sir. want TO buy
Liberty bond, as 1 said, and I've
come a long way to do 1t. I've not got
all the cash to pay, but I've got the
value and you smart city folks can
turn what amt money into cash. I'm
sure of that
The young man looked Interested,
then curious. Josiah drew from a
pocket an old faded bandana hand
kerchief. He united its corners and
spread out to the view of his host his
motley collection of treasures.
"There you are" he said. IF 1t will
cover a hundred-dollar bond. give it to
me-"
