plentiful supply of condensed MILK
which he dealt out literally for the
boys in their army cups. Going on
40 rods further, we found Baptist

out-Of-door stoves and coffee boilers
in someone's back yard, Filling up
two pals each, my companion and Il
join the ranks of those called to serve
a cup Of hot water to the boys in
khaki. "Say where is the Y M. c. A.

among the remarks made.
When the coffee was served, we got
out the apples which the American
Apple Shippers association had sent
over for free distribution to the SOL
diers through the Y. M. G.. A. and as
we threw out those Oregon and Wat
sonville California pippius, one to each
man, scarcely man muffed the ball
Scarcely a Frenchman could catch
one). One of the finest things about
it was the way several of the young
officers would refuse the one offered to
them, saying mo, give them to the
men," 1t made one proud then that
he had on the same kind OF uniform
they did.
After working all day alternately
with the distribution of the coffee ana
apples to the different groups as they
waited their turn in the road, we walk
ed back to camp, leaving the four sec
retaries to sleep again in the store
room till $3.50 a. m. the next day and
get up to repeat the process. The four
consisted of former Michigan Y. M. |
c. A. physical director as the leader,
an Illinois Baptist parsOn, Presby |
terrain minister from New York state |
and an Episcopalian rector from Vir-
cinia. Such stories as those men viii |
have to tell out of that experience
will put real life into their sermons
for months to come. AS one said to
me land he had then been over less
than a week. 81 could go right back
home tomorrow and feel that my trip
had been worth while. The way those
boys did appreciate that coffee and |
those apples
AS walked back that night, l was |
tired, yes, but was happy for we had
been able to serve. One of the boys
as passed, pushing the wheel barro@
with the empty apple boxes, said,
"Parlez yous Fransais" and / replied,
"No just stevedore," both thus refer
ring to story had used the night be
fore in talking to 700 in one OF our
buildings, but in so doing we each &C

and hethat had gotten the lesson either
from the talk or seeing me push the
wheelbarrow, do not know which, bl-
!, think it was the latter that made the
first most effective.

wart citizenship makes itself felt DO. litically, we will have more economi- cally sound laws and more efficient government.
 The trouble with business men has been that they have not recognized any duty or responsibility in the field of politics. There should be Il na- tional awakening to the necessity for
 sound business Judgment applied by
 practical business men in the opera
 ton of the government. Governmental
 regulation is being extended into al-
 most every field of business enterprise.
 If its agencies are properly adminia-
 tered they should stimulate and stab
 alize business: but In order that they
 may be properly administered they
 must be under the supervision of com potent. experienced business men. The machinery of government is becoming more complicated with the extension of these governmental agencies and re- quircs greater skill and efficiency for It's proper management.
 These conditions call for tho ablcst men of our time to devote their energy and beStow their judgment and ex- periencc in working out the problems of the government. upon whose solu- ton depend the welfare of the people There is m imperative reason that the leaders in politics should come from the avenues of business It is up to the business men to meet the sit | uation with spirit of courage con- 1 ftdence, and. if need be. self sacrifice.

BUSINESS MEN IN POLITICS

There is growing necessity for business men to enter the field of pol. itics. This necessity exists both in bus mess and in politics. and arises from the fact there is a lack of mutuality between the two.
 This imperative need is cxccllently Illustrated in the following article from the pen of Governor Gardner of Missouri, reproduced from an cx- change.
 To a large degree the machinery of the government is necessarily manned through the agency of politics Since the functions of government are being extended in the regulation and super vision of business enterprises. the re. lation between business and govern ment is so close that cooperation and confidence are essential to both. Modern business methods are often criticised hy the government on one hand, and the government is more of- ten criticised by business men on the other hand in spite of an urgent ne- cessity for business men to have the proper sympathy and cooperation with the government and the govern ment the support of the business men.
 The best way for business men to exert influence in public affairs is for them to participate in politics ana rem der sincere and active service in the public interest. but business men have failed to make their knowledge and ex- pericnce felt in this direction. This is not because they are unpatriotic, but because they are indifferent They have not demanded that participation in the councils of the government that thy are entitled to have, except when they have appealed to the government for aid or complained of government restrictions.
 Business mon should give greater heed to seeing that the men 10 whom they delegate the great responsibilities of government are the right type of men. They should be ready to render service instead of contenting themsel- yes with criticism. Whenever this stol-

serving as Germany's Ambassador in
