absolutely incredible that Germany could. have been so helplessly and hopelessly unequal to the invention of the tools that have made her rich But that is not her gift. If Sheffield can give her a model knife, Germany can reproduce that knife in quantities and undersell Sheffield. The German people keep step in a regiment, in d factory and on a ship. and there fore are wholesalers. The French mind is creative, stands for individual excellence. and is at the other eX treme from the German temperament. The emblem of the German intellect is beer the emblem of the English intellect is port wine; the emblem of the French mind is champagne; the emblem of an American intellect like Emerson's is a beaker filled with sunshine-my knowledge of these liuuors is based on heresay. It is this lack of imagination that eX- plains Neitzsche's statement that for 200 years Germany has been the enemy of culture. while Heinrich Heine declared the name of culture was France.
 Destruction of Rheims
 It is this total lack of mental capa- city to appreciate architecture that eN- plains Germany's destruction of some of the nobIest buildings of the world. She cannot by any chance conceive how the other races look upon her vandalism. Her own foreign govern ment expressed it publicly in one of her state papers, let the neutrals l cease chattering about cathedrals. 1 Germany does not care one straw if all the galleries and churches in the world were destroyed, providing we gain our ends. Guizot in his history of civilization, presents three tests of a civilized people: First, they revere 1 their pledges of honor; second, they reverence and pursue the beautiful in painting, architecture and literature; third, they exhibit sympathy in reform l toward the poor, the weak and the un- fortunate.
 Louis Orr and Rheims
 Now apply those tests to the Kaiser and his war staff, and you understand why Rheims Cathedral is a ruin. No i building since the Parthenon was more precious to the worlds culture. What majesty and dignity in the lines, What wealth of statuaryl How wonderful the Twelfth Century glass. With what lightness did these arches leap into the air Now, the great bombs have torn holes through the roof; only little bits of glass remain. Broken are the arches, ruined some of the flying but -
 tresses, the altar where Jeanne q Arc 1 (Continued on Page Fichtl

What the Barber Thought.

As illustrating the slight esteem in
which scientific men are held, Profess
Sor Sir II. S. Jackson, one of the new
Knights commanders of the order of
the British empire, told a story recent
By of an experience that befell him
some time back at a certain large town
in the Midlands, where he had gone in
order to be present at a meeting of the
British association. On the morning
following his arrival he went to bar
ber's shop to get his hair cut, and the
man who waited on him, after some
preliminary conversation, asked:
"'What exactly is this British associa-
tion that's meeting here today?"
The professor explained that it was
a society of learned scientific men.
"Oh," said the barber, in tones of
evident disgust, Il thought it was a
football team"

German Soldier SIand.

The first attention attracted oy
Boche soldier slang was enlisted when
they dubbed the 420-mm. gun big Ber-
tha," says the Bulletin des Armees.
The machine gun is "stottertante" (the
aunt who stutters). They also say
"the organ of DEATH" "the collie can
non." "the old chatterbox." When the
French machine guns are in action the
Boche in his dugout exclaims:
"There's a Franzman at his sewing
machine"
The casque is the tulip" the KNAPP
sack, the monkey" epaulettes are
"soup plates :" noncom stripes are ecu
cumber parings." The various arms
have their sobriquets. The Infantry
man is called the sand hare" the
chausseur is the "green frog" the
trench digger is the mole" or the
"ditchman :" the white cuirassier, the
flour bag" the uhlan, the "lamplfght-
er." and the green hussars with yellow
trimmings are "the egg and spinach"

Aurana Torpedoed but Is Taken Safer

New York, Feb. S.-The Cunard

pedoed by a German submarine with
in the last forty-eight hours while
bound for the United States, it was
learned from officials Of the Cunard

explosion, the ship was not sunk, and

There were IA passengers aboard the

Bible Stops Bullet.

When that American Sunday school
scholar gave his nickel for a Tesla
ment for a soldier in Europe he did
not know that the Testament would
stop a bullet within an inch of
French soldiers heart and save his
life.
But Eugene Dufall, that gallant
French soldier whose life was saved
by that Testament, knows it, and he
will always be grateful to some I'M
known American Sunday school boy,
or it may be a girl, who that Sunday
back in America did his bit toward the
100000 Testaments and Gospels
which have gone to Europe through
the cooperation of the Worlds Sun
day School association and the Amer
lean and other Bible agencies.
This new Testament was given him
at Dieulefit, the first camp in Dau-
phine, by the French Bible society. On
January 10, 1917, he was carrying it
on his chest in the Schonholtz wood,
before Altkirch lin Alsace), when
bullet from a machine gun glanced
from a tree or rock, struck him on the
breast and entered the Testament.

Food Consumption.

Studies of the monthly per capita
consumption Of wheat, meat, fat and
sugar in the United States and in Eu-
ropean countries, show that, in gen.
eral, people in the United States eat
the most per person. The German
sugar ration for 1916-1917 was hardly
more than one-tenth of our consump-
tion and in meats we consumed almost
six times as much as the Germans
1raro allowed. France is on slightly
more liberal diet than Germany, yet
the French sugar ration is only IL
mounds per month per person, as COM
pared with IA pounds in the United
states. England, though commonly
considered a country of hearty eat
ors uses even less fat than France, and
&c about midway between France and
the United States as regard meat and
sugar consumption.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
abe kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
gOod-wOrkmen and become cOngested-
poisOns accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
u. T., advises washing the Kidneys
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
TO take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
Ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 60c.
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
me uric acid pOisons and battle the kid
neyS and channels in soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
a most powerful agent in dissOlving
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial package.

WILSON HAS BILL
FOR WAR POWER
Measure lntrod iced in the Senate Ia
Reply to Cabinet and Num-
tons Proposals.

Washington, Feb. 7.-President Will
son on Wednesday gave definite indi-
cation of his purpose to shake up the
war machinery of the government.
He Gent to congress legislation call
ing for the most sweeping powers he
has yet sought to direct the conduct OF
the war. If passed it will enable him
to revise completely the relationships
of the most important departments OF
the government so that great co-ordi-
nation and Capitalization of functions
can be effected.
With a stroke of the pen, under
these powers, it is stated, the president
would create a war cabinet, if he saw
fit, or an ammunitions director.
Democrats as we'll as Republican
leaders who are opposed to further
Capitalization of arbitrary powers,
are up in arms over the legislation.
They declare it's passage would con-
fer on the president unlimited means
of delegating power to subOrdinates.
Under the bill the president may
shift AMI interchange at will any and
all of the various bureaus, depart
ments, commissions and officers.
The bill states that the president,
in making the various changes, shall
act Gin such manner as in his judg-
ment shall seem BEST" and "as he may
deem appropriate"
Postmaster General BurlesOn car
ried the bill direct from the White
House to Senator Overman of North
Carolina, chairman of the judiciary
committee, and strong administra-
ton supporter.
The first section Of the bill pro-
vides:
"That, for the national security CT
defense, for the successful prosecution
of the war, for the support an dmain-
tenance of the army and navy and for
the better utilization of resources and
industries and for the more effective
exercise and more efficient adminiStra-
ton by the president of his powers as
commander in chief of the land and
naval forces, the president is hereby
authorized and empowered to make
such redistribution of functions among
executive agencies as he may deem
necessary, including any functions,
duties and powers hitherto by law
conferred upon any executive depart
ment, commission, bureau, agency, Of
flee or officer, in such manner as in his
judgment shall seem best fitted to car
ry out the purpose of this act, and to
this end is authorized to make such
regulations and to issue such orders
as he may deem necessary"
