easilyf Why Joseph: because he ad-

Many Of the worlds failures would
have been splendid successes. II, In
their struggling stage, some one had
reached out q helping hand to them

ness Of disappointment crushed them.
There Is, indeed. a moral here. The
woman isn't living who cannot do some
bit Of good. Then let her lose no
time In doing it-in Offering the word
Of hope or encouragement which Is
the greatest stimulus the world ever
knew.

PLENTY TO EAT in PARIS
Hand of War Apparently Lays Much
Heavier on London.
trey. Elmer T. Clark, in New York
Tribune

tRev. Elmer T. Clark, in New York
Tribune
When one arrives in Paris after a
sojourn in London he is Immediate
ly struck with a difference in condl-
lions that amounts almost to a con-
traSt.
In London the traveller is every
where impressed with the fact that
a war of the first magnitude is on.
The traveller is continually subjected
to rigid and annoying surveillance
Oh the part of the police and is not
permitted to move without their
sanction. The hotels, streets, stores
and all public places are thronged
with thousands of soldiers on leave,
and the war constitutes almost the
only subject of conversation. All Oy-
er the country the food supply is be-
ing carefully conserved and bread
and sugar are at a premium.
In Paris one Immediately encoun-
tiers a difference. The police are
not nearly SO rigid in their exac-
tions. the Foreign Office is most lib
eral and courteous, and while the
censorship is quite as strict its meth
cd is far simpler. One sees remark
ably few soldiers on the streets or
the French capital. There are more
Americans in uniform than French.
for the latter are giving diligent
heed to the matters in hand on the
fronts.
L had received the intelligence that
France had been "bled white" and
was practically on her knees. But
this is by no means the case from the
general social standpoint, if the i'm
pressions of casual observer count
for anything. Indeed, in the matter
of outside appearances she seems not
nearly so hard run as England. l
would say that Paris and France
generally are either very we'll pro-
yided for. or else they are exceeding
~ reckless with their resources.

FRANK A. VANDERBILT
RESIGNS HIS POST
Will Devote All His Energies TO Aid
in. The Country During The War.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Frank y.
Vanderlip, who as president of the
National City Bank of New York
heads the largest national bank in
the United States. has put aside his
active work for that institution and
all other organizations with which he
is identified, for the period of the
war, to assist Secretary McAdoo in
Liberty Loan finance.
Mr.. Nanderlip has started in on a
1U-hour-a-day schedule, with his du-
ties as chairman of the War Saving
Certificates Committee which will
virtually handle the details of float
ing the $4,000 100000 war saving
certificates issue recently authorized
by Congress.
In answering Secretary McAdoo's
request for his aid, Mr.. Eanderlip
surrendered for the period of the
war. not only his office as president
of the National City Bank, but his
connection with the American Inter
national Corporation and the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Company
in both of which he was an influen-
tial factor.
As chairman OF the War Saving
Certificates Committee he will re
ceive a salary from the Government
of $ 4 year.
Mr.. Nanderlip's duties as president
Of the National City Bank will be
performed during his absence by
four of the banks managers
Upon the completion of his work
here it is his plan TO return to New
York and resume his former connec-
lions. Mr.. Nanderlip 16 years ago
was an Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury.
Mr.. Nanderlip emphasized that he
was not giving up his place with the
bank or the other concerns. but only
was giving up his active work with
them for the time being to devote his
time TO the Government.
