n "a
Faith
(By Jerome P. FIeishman, of The
Baltimore Sun

(By Jerome P. Fleishmau, of The
Baltimore Sun
1t is night. l am being whirled
through space in parlor car of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at something
like so miles an hour. The car is
brilliantly lighted. Outside all is
black. l do not know where we are,
except that this train-the Atlantic
City Special, bound for the nations
capital-left Wilmington about 20
minutes ago and is somewhere be-
tween that place and Baltimore.
Across the aisle a boy Of tender
years is climbing up on his mothers
lap, and the mother, with that light
in her eyes which only mother-love
can inspire, is patting his curly head.
They do not think of danger Neither
do |. We have Faith We have
faith in the engineer. He is a COM
petent man, Or he wouldn't be in
charge of this train with its several
hundred human lives He knows his
engine, knows the roadway, knows
all the possible things that could
happen and is alert to avoid them.
So we, knowing his hand is on . the
throttle, take it easy and think of
things far removed from railway
wrecks.
1t seems to me that there is les
son in this for you and for me, for
every young man and every young
woman in business-the lesson of
Faith. 1t is not given to us to see
very far into the future. For my
part, ] don't want to know what is
going to happen to me next week or
next year. am satisfied to keep
plugging along doing my little job
from day to day as best I can-and
trusting my fate to the Great Engi-
neer Whose hand is on the throttle
of your life and mine and the lives
of countless other thousands.
The business man who has faith is
not very likely to go wrong. He is
going to conduct his business on a
four-square basis; he is going to be
upright in his dealings with his fell
loW-men; he is going to steer his
ship of commerce through the trou-
bled waters Of misfortune. perhaps
even adversely, with serenity born
of the consciousness that nothing can
harm him permanently so long as he
sees clearly and acts wisely. There
will be many hands eager to retard
his progress. SANDER will raise its
nasty head from many little by-ways
along his path. Ill health may |
the loss of loved ones; the |
Gripping of. his finances; the strik-
ing down of his most cherished
hopes; and yet
And yet the man who has Faith
who believes that right is right and
will triumph; who sticks to his prin-
ciples and his ideals though the
thunder of misunderstanding crash |
above him and the lightning of NAL
ice blind him now and then-that
man will win all that is worth while
in life. This l know. l have seen it
work out in other lives. 1t is work
ing out in mine. We who were on
that train in the night had faith in
the engineer, and we arrived at our
destinations safely. We who are all
travellers on the greater and longer
journey toward Eternity must have
faith in the Great Engineer. We must
know that, if we do our part, we
shall arrive at the end of the road
with shining eyes and happy hearts.

BUILD SHIPS.

The worlds ship tonnage since the sub
III arines begun their destructive work has
been reduced 1927, 572 tons. 6,6O6, 275
tons have been built and $3.50, 900 tons
have been seized. Of seized tonnage
1850, 600 tons were taken from the Ger
N ans and ,O0G, 900 from Holland. Thus
it will be seen the net loss is 1,682, 297
IONS and the most of this loss has been
suffered by the Allies Even if the sub
IN arihes were to be all destroyed the
shortage of shipping would be serious,
but with the present rate of sinkings and
the strikes and delays in delivery of ma
terials in the shipyards, the situation is
alarming if not really critical Tie gov
ernment is trying to build and equip
great shipbuilding plant at Hog Island,
and is spending large sums in equipping
yards elsewhere 1t now seems evident
that no ships can be launched from the
Hog island plant for about year. This
will be too late to help win the war with
ships. One ship between now and the
4th of July will avail more than five
ships next year. Before the Ides of
March, 1910, the American Eagle will be
proclaiming victory from Quoddy Head
10 the Golden Gate, or the mailed fist
will be knocking at our doors. Every
striking ship worker should realize this,
and that the time has come when it is no
longer a question of daily wages but of
liberty and life. The government should
realize that we needs not yards for use
next year, but the speedest possible
building of ships wherever it can best be
done

THE GREAT BATTLE.

Knowing that the army making the
offensive must suffer disproportionate
losses we have hoped that the Germans
would make a general attack. Since the
recent German drive we have therefore
been inclined to be optimistic The old
saying that che who fights and runs
away will live to fight another day"
seems to apply to the present situation.
1t is evident that thus tar the Germans
nave been tremendous losers of man
power. and if the report is true that Gen.
Foch, the hero of the Marine, is at the
head of a "Manoeuvre" reserve army
waiting to strike the Huns when the
strategic hour arrives, the KaiSer's cause
is hopelessly lost. The tide of battle is
soon to turn At this hour, Wednesday
noon, the news indicates that the force

HALF SICK, HALF WELL
A Condition That Will Not Improve
Upon Itself.

A Condition That Will Not improve
Upon Itself.
In the Spring the depressing con-
dition that many call spring fever
often runs through families and
neighborhoods.
This indefinite, hard-to-describe
state Of poor health probably means
that you are thin-blooded and anemic.
Exhausted thin blood gets thinner,
low vitality falls lower, poor appe-
tite becomes poorer. Then the thor
oughly exhausted system can no
longer resist, and on comes the pros
trating illness or serious disease.
Treat the half-sick, Spring-tired
condition with that splendid course of
nedicine-Hood's Sarsaparilla, to
fortify the whole body; Peptiron, to
ironize and make rich red blood;
Hood S Pills to rouse the liver to its
OCULAR daily duties,-and the half
veil revives to perfect health.
Have you ever tried this potent
combination of Spring medicines?
Each is valuable in itself but is treblv
so when used in this combination as
a regular course Of treatment.

A JOB FOR CONGRESS.

1t is reported that 500 horses at Coving-
ton, NY, have been poisoned by German
agents These horses were owned by the
government and had been bought for war
purposes Croton oil and beliadonna were
put into the water which they drank.
Whether any one has been arrested for
this we do not know. Indeed an act of
this sort might easily have been commit
wed without leaving any clue as to the
per petrator. Doubtless reasonable and
-8aWless acts of destruction by fire, ex-
plosives and poison are more numerous
than we are aware 1t is not good policy
10 announce them in most instances, be-
cause detection is more likely to follow
a secret and unheralded investigation. A
law is now before Congress which pro-
vides capital punishment for the people
who are detected in sabotage, bombing,
poisoning and other German secondary
and secret warfare in the United States.
1t should be possible to enact this law in
80 minutes The people expect immed-
late action on matters of this kind. They
feel that this law should have been put
into our statutes several months ago.
They see no reason for argument about
the law or delay in passing it. Give
US the law. Somebody will be caught in
some destructive and wanton act Then
there will be the firing squad. Then there
will be one dead German agent and sew
seral hundred frightened plotters.

THE NEW LIBERTY LOAN.

A new Liberty Loan of $1,000, 0OO, 900
is allied for and the drive to obtain sub
scriptions will begin April 9th. The rate
of interest will be 4 IA per cent. In
years not far in the future this loan will
be found to be a good investment, but
this view is not the first or most import
ant to be considered by our people. To
subscribe for this loan is both a necessity
and duty The committee who have in
charge the raising of the quota of Waldo
should have the earnest co-opera-
ton of every patriotic citizen. The
menace of German domination was
never so great as at the present time.
Even if the present crisis is safely passed
the need of money to continue the strug-
gle will remain imperative.

HORSES OVER THERE.

Horses are playing a very important
part in winning the war-a much more
important part than many people realize
For every four men in the American ex-
peditionary force in France there is one
horse. England alone has over million
horses behind the battle line, while France
has nearly as many more. While motor
driven vehicles are being used in ever in
creasing numbers there are many things
which they cannot do and which horses
are called upon to do If heavy gun is
to be moved to the front in hurry along
road which is impossible for motor
tractor or which is much exposed to the
enemy's fire horses are sent forward to
do the work. Without them the Allies
would be unable to maintain their posi-
ton in France for day, but with plenty
of good horses they are able to not
only hold the line but to consolidate the
trenches which they gain from the enemy
and to bring forward the ammunition and
big guns to hold them when they have
been taken. Then. too. the cavalry,
which for over two years was held in re-
serve and not made much use of, is to-
day being brought up to it's former
strength and efficiency and when the
great day comes for an advance through
the Hindenburg line the horse soldiers are
expected to head the way.
