A so per cent reduction In tho volume

sideration by the administration to
make available ships for transporting
troops to France.
OverseaS transportation Is recognized
as the real problem In the government

Estimates OF the amount OF tonnage
, necessary to keep army supplied
vary all the way from four to seven
tons in continuous service for each man
engaged.
The United States now has. in all
services. about four million tons of
shipping. Probably one-fourth is en-

Germans Gain Data.

Now the reason for that is an e1-
cellent one. yet like many reasons for
censorship is not apparent on the sur
face and is to people as yet unused
to war perhaps mysterious. In the
early days of the war the French gen.
eral staff was frequently amazed to
discover that the Germans seemed to
know almost exactly their order Of
battle. what regiments composed GER
tain divisions. whence they came. how
heavy their losses had been. what

might be expected to make.
He knew, furthermore, who were its
staff officers and what were their cap
abilities. 1t was like knowing the
other teams signals in a foot ball game
For some time previous the French
soldiers had been receiving gifts from
two societies with headquarters in

Soldiers Were Grateful.

With each gift came a nice, self-ad-
dressed postcard with a few printed
lines, asking the soldier who got the
gift to fill out the blanks and return
the card as a message of thanks. There
were blanks for the soldiers name. age,
division and the place whence he en-
listed or was modified and other in
formation.
OF course, the postcards explained,
the donors of these gifts asked these
questions only because of their deep
personal interest in the soldier Of
| France who got them. Tho soldiers
were grateful. and thousands of the
| postcards were filled out and mailed
| back to the organizations.

After time the French secret ser
vice, casting about to find out how 1t

! were sending the gifts. One day the
gifts stopped coming.

QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man Will
Be Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride OF
fullness or regret of bitter poverty;
what is Ours-we who also have had
our year? AS the old phrase has it,
What fruits have we brought forth?
Man is not bound to the seasons as
titled land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul in when autumn comes;
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least Of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more of patience,
humility and courage to see to it that
evil loses and that good is strength
ened In the unending conflict of those
forces. For the SOULS harvest home
1t Is either tares or wheat; there is no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
Of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest is infinity and
eternally more important than that
which he wrests from the ield.-COl-
Hers.
