Very little is being heard regarding
the activities of the submarines even
from Berlin. AS a means of winning
German victory over the entente they
are a failure. OF this there no longer
is any doubt. They are accomplishing
no more than they did in the begin
ming. This mode of defeating the
allies may be said to have gone the
way of the air raids and the attack on
Verdun. The Teutons must invent
some new device soon or be compelled
to acknowledge defeat. They are max
ing no progress anywhere and every
change in the war situation that takes
place is marked by a loss to the CEN
trail powers. The persistent hammer
ing by the Italian army has forced
the withdrawal of many Austrian
troops from the eastern front. If
Kerensky and Korniloff succeed in re-
facilitating the Slav army it should
have little difficulty in regaining
quickly all the territory lost within the
last few weeks.

TRAVELLED TIE
Missionaries of War.
By NIKSAH

Washington has been an unusually
gay place this year by reason of the
entertainment of the distinguished
missions" which all of the allied ma
tons dispatched to the United States
as soon as this country had declared
war. The social excitement lapsed
during the middle of the summer, but
is about to spring up again with the
arrival of Baron Kikujiro Ishii and
his mission from Japan, who will be
here in a few weeks.
Especially interesting is the method
that has been adapted for housing
these distinguished emissaries. 1t is
Washington's fortune, good or bad, to
contain more splendid mansions that
are almost always empty than any
other city of like size in the world.
1t has become the custom in the last
ten years for millionaires, both of the
New York and Western varieties, to
have Washington residences, which
are kept open two or three months
out of the year at most During the
summer there are whole avenues of
deserted magnificence
This summer half a dozen of these
palaces have been donated by their
owners for the entertainment of the
foreign missions. Belmont House on
New Hampshire avenue, which will
shelter Baron Ishii, is the New Hamp-
shire avenue residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry Belmont, and is in every way
adequate for it's new dignity. Its

Two motorists, having almost ruin

LABOR SUNDAY.

Thousands of ministers in every
part of this country are expected to
observe Labor Sunday tomorrow by
preaching on labor problems created
by the war.
The suggestion that the churches
hold special labor services on Sunday
came from the American Federation
of Labor and the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America,
and the federal council has prepared
"A message for Labor Sunday in time
of war; to be used at these services.
In some cases labor unions will
march from their halls to the
churches in bodies and committees APP
pointed by labor organizations will
take charge of the services.
The>various national denomination
al social service bureaus have been
active for some time creating an in
terest in the Labor Sunday service, al
tho in many cities union services of
several of the churches will be held.
Discussing the custom of the
churches to observe Labor Sunday on
the Sunday previous to Labor Day,
the Rev Charles Stelzle, field secre-
tary of the Federal Council of
Churches. said:
Just as Memorial Day and the sew
eral birthdays show our appreciation
of those who rendered patriotic serv-
ice and just as-the churches holy
days do honor to those who serve
mankind spiritually. so Labor Sunday
is observed by the churches to honor
the millions of toilers who serve man
kind in the humber places of life"

Convention.
1t gets to be an awful bore
To do the things We've done before,
To walk sedately down the street
And nod or bow to those we meet,
To wear suit, some shoes, hat,
A shirt, collar and crayat,
And spend all of our days at such,
The things we've always done so much
Think what circus it would be
Should people everywhere agree
To paint their noses green and wear
Some honeysuckle in their hair
And Al l,1 never work but stand about bout.
To hug each other for a while.
Life often has its pleasant phase
But they would brighten up our days
And give to Life an added Zest,
These little things that we suggest
1t get to be an awful bore
To do the things we've done before.
A Hot Night.
To toss and twitch, to roll about and whine
TO place the cot beside the window sill
And lie thereon to moan and suffer still.
To drape the legs across some handy
chairs
To try each pose or posture one can choose
To weary of 1t all. At last, to snooze.

You see it time on end,
The man who often makes a kick,
Won't often make a friend.
The Nose.
No common talent can compose
fitting tribute to the Nose,
The faithful nose that all the day
Will lead us safely on our way.
Each member of the human race
Who has a nose upon his face
Should bless his stars with happy cries
Whatever be its shape or size.
Tho there are times when may feel,
Gas when in summer it will peel
Or when in winter it is froze,)
Wed rather do without a nose.
Yet had we none we'd fret again,
We'd miss it every now and then.
The nose is truly. in the end,

The herds over there have been
slaughtered without any regard for
the future. This has been made nee
essary not only by the demand for
meat, but because the soil has been
devoted to grains and other crops
used for human food; there has been
nothing for cattle to eat. Beef cattle,
dairy cattle and blooded cattle used
for improving herds have alike been
killed by the million Upon America
will devolve very largely the task of
replacing these European herds, and
this export demand cannot fail to
keep the demand at a high notch for
