THE HYPOCRITE.

Perhaps the most dangerous
 toe to the peace and happiness
 of humanity is the hypocrite.
 lie cones upon us, like a thief . in the night, unwares; posing as a friend, he gains our confidence. our esteem and, sometimes, our
 affection. He works his way in.
 to our good graces by subtle
 scheming, and when his object tis attained he abandons us to our fate. If there were only one of ! such the world would be happier and better for it, but there are [ thousands and thousands of { -nenl and their tribe is constant | ' increasing. So common and universal, indeed, IS becoming tie practice that you scarcely dare to trust anyone. The i'm fpecunious comes for a favor, Ewith a sad countenance and sol. Tenn VOW to repay; but once in possession of the toga, you are sleft to whistle. The one with : .an axe to grind' is all smiles

Germany. bold, defiant and fooi hardy, entered into this war without taking it's bearings. Victorious, in the beginning, it outraged decency, insulted the civilized world and defied all peoples; but in its mad and blood-thirsty career 1t went a step too far. It awakened the Eung riant of the west, and in aoing so, invited its own down. fall. The first torpedo sent at Ole of our ships was tack in Germany's own coffin. "The die IS cast, the Rubicon crossed" !" and there will be no turning back until Germany is beaten.

The speeding craze of auto drivers here is apparently on the increase, with the constantly coming-in of more machines. Somtimes there are more than an hundred machines on the streets at one time, and nearly all of them are going at the rate of ''2::f0 on a shell road" which $ both dangerous to inmates and pedestrians. Ordinances against fast driving have little fleet, and accidents, which now and then happen, seen to accel- crate rather than lessen the speed. Better go slow, or slow er, at least.

Production of Rifles and Ammunition
Meets all Requirements.

Rifle and cartridge production
in the United States has de-
veloped in volume and in quality
on a scale assuring the satisfac-
tory equipment of the army &C
cording to a statement author
lied by the Secretary of War.
To achieve the rifle and am
munition production program the
government has expended or has
obligated itself to expend, dur
ing 10 months of war. $500, 00Q,-
600, and 200 officers, 80, 900 men,
and 10, 900 women have been en-
gagged exclusively in the manu-
facture of rifles and cartridges.
Two govern m ent plants and
three privately owned plants are
engaged in cartridge manufac-
ture. Ordnance experts in this
country and in Europe are in
agreement that the United States
army is being equipped with
two of the best three rifles in
the world.
