Changes In Hudson Bay,

The trappers and others employed
by the Hudson Bay company have no.
ticed that where deep water was to be
found in the bay heretof ,re it is be-
coming so shallow that navigation is
accomplished with difficulty. Investi-
cation has led to the d .overy that
the shores Of the great body of water
are gradually being tipped as If an eff
fort was being made to empty its wa
tiers into the adjoining sea. The hay
where Henry Hudson spent the win
ter Of 1910 has entirely disappeared
or has so changed that it cannot be
now located, although there Ii sum-
cient data left by him to 1ocate the
bay under conditions as hs 6oun6
them. .

Ruskin in Modern Painters said:
II believe an immense gain in the bod
lily health and happiness of the upper
classes would follow on their stead
lily endeavoring, however clumsily, to
make the physical exertion they now
necessarily exert in amusements def
nitely serviceable. It would be far
better, for instance, that a gentleman
should NOW his own fields than ride

"Yankeesi What luck!" he ex.
claimed the moment he had shaken
hands. "This Is too good to be true"
and he found himself more than ever
at home.
II have only been over about four
months" said Betty, after they had
wheeled Dick into a comfortable nook
beneath the fruit blossoms and were
talking as fast as only the Yankee
tongue can move. my brother was so
badly wounded that he IA allowed
to cable to me-said he couldn't pull
through to fight some more if I wasn't
here" She laughed softly toward her
brother.
"What ship did you come on?" asked
the birdman, realizing already that he
was more than glad to know Betty and
her brother. He was discovering the
wonderful charms that had been hid
den to his birds eyes. He would be
dissatisfied now to hover so far above
Betty and her garden.
"The Adriatic," said Betty.
"Good Lord, so did I! We must
have been on the same trip. How in
the name of-Did you arrive just after

"That's a little hot air for you,
French" laughed Dick. "Betty's good
at that"
II was in my bunk the entire trip"
said French; "didn't ever know there
was a woman on board, except the
stewardess."
"Neither did l." laughed Betty;
"there was so much khaki I had no
time even to glance about for girls.v
"She evidently had the time Of her
young life," commented Dick. "Here I
was waiting in CHASTITY fear of her be-
ing torpedoed, and all the time she
was flirting her head off with our best
uniforms, and some Of the British as
we'll. From the number of letters the
post girl brings here from France, I
think my sister knew every officer on
the ship"
"Don't mind me-" put in French.
"Oficers who are seasick don't
count" Betty told him. but the en-
c%ouraging glance she sent into his eyes
suggested a complete contradiction to
her words.

tenant laughed, "but as a birdman

Betty decided, with a delightfully."-
heightened color speeding her prog
ress.
"Tea in an English garden-isn't
this great?" and the birdman enscon-
ced himself as if for life, while Dick
Raymond gave him a thorough inspec-
ton and came to the conclusion that
French would be a fine pal for himself,
and for Betty-well, he figured that
his sister would like her latest victim
better than the last, anyway, and if
she brought out her big apple pie for
tea, with apples at a shilling a pound,
rationed sugar and mighty little but
ter to be had, that she would have de-
cided to like Lieutenant French much
better than his predecessors. In the
white kitchen Betty reached up for the
pie.

A Meaningless Victory.

Hindenburg's big drive against
the British line has proceeded to a
point where he has recovered the
most Of the territory which he gave
up year ago in his famous strate.
gic retreat
That retreat was hailed in Ger
many as the equivalent of a victory
Turning the logic around, the pres
ent advance must be a defeat, but
with Russia ont and the German
Army in France immensely
strengthened as a consequence, the
situation is different However,
the fact stands. Hindenburg has
paid a higher price in men for the
strip of land he abandoned a year
ago than any General ever paid in
any battle before, and he is further
from Paris than the army was in
1914.
The German victory is like the
British victory in Flanders, the
French vic cries before Verdun and
all of the victories in France sine"
the early German successes and the
final check TO the German advance,
except that it has been the most
costly of all victories.
A line has been bent, but il
holds, and if it continues to hold,
the victory, viewed in a larger way,
will be a defeat, whether the Allies
counter-thrust is effective or not

Doing Our Bit.

The time is fast approaching
when all of us stay. at-homes" will
again have an opportunity to serve
our country.
Just because we are too old or too
young or have dependents, does not
mean that we cannot be soldiers
and help to win this great fight for
democracy and freedom.
The Third Liberty Loan, which
will start April. 6, will be the great
est opportunity for patriotic service
that has been offered those of us
who still remain 10 civil life.
The work to float it will be great.
With the approach of what all the
world is convinced is the crisis in
this war. the need of a great show
ing of unity and strength on the
part of America has become so i'm
perative that probably the way in
which this country meets this duty
will constitute the deciding factor
in the war
The Third Liberty Loan is the me-
dun through which better than in
any other way Americas heart,
mind and physical strength can be
thrown into the weight of battle
against Germany.
A huge Liberty Loan in this
country means encouragement to
Germany and encouragement to our
allies 1t means funds to equip
feed and train our soldiers. 1t means
support and comfort for our men
in the trenches. 1t means money
for ships, and it means an ample
reservoir of financial credit out of
which all things required by the
brotherhood of nations against auto
cratic militarism can be obtained TO
drive forward this year with their
maximum strength and bring the
horrors of the world War to all early
end.
The man who at home buys
Liberty Bond performs as efficient
all act of war as the man in khaki
who pulls trigger in his trench in
France. 1t is all the more a nome
mans duty to perform this act,
since he is got undergoing the dis
comfort and the danger that raises
the soldiers service 70 the heroiSm
Ina; should inspire us at home with
full appreciation of the part we
must play.
