st. Alban always maintained
that from the moment he saw the
long map on the bandage every
thing blurred around him. and
began to clear only when he spoke
on the deck. He used to curse this
blur. 1t made him a national
figure and immortal. but 1t pre-
vented him, he said. from striking
the C-boat captain in the face.
He remembered after
WARDEN the way in to Dover
what Plutonburg said as he stood
there folding the bandage into
the bosom of his coat. and grim
ming like the God Of the Moabltes:
And now. my friend, II you'll
kindly come up on deck, I'll make
you a hero"
The English thought St. Alban had
saved the boat. The U-boat com
mander thought that, to save his
newly won reputation. st. Alban
would remain silent about the
bandage episode. st. Alban. how
ever, went directly to his associ-
ates-men high in government al
faEs-and told them the truth.
How he did it, and how the story
was kept from the world, must be
read in detail. Then, having done
his best to unod his unconscious
betrayal, st. Alban died.
His people thought he died a
natural death. The story tells US
how he really died.
Good work-this story. And
right in line with our present de-
mand-that fiction today shall be
as interesting as life itself.

death as in life. II puts up a
wonderful monument to him. But
the reader is informed that he has
committed suicide. The story
tells why.
An enemy submarine had over
hauled an English transport, but
had refrained from sinking it,
England believed the U-bOat COM
mander spared the transport be-
cause of the hcroism of the Eng
fish hero, who put into one brief
sentence the whole spirit of the
British people: Don't threaten.
Fire. II you like
The commander, however, had
not spared the ship for any such
reason. His reason was that the
English hero had unconsciOusly
been the means of putting into his
hands the whole map of the Somme
campaign. This is how 1t was
done:
The hero. st. Alban, had been in
Paris, recovering from a wound.

Public taste, publishers tell us,
is turning more and more toward
war material. Even the most de-
voted readers OF fiction ask to
have their fiction strongly tinged
with war
They are not eXacting in their
demand for any special kind of
war material. though they dearly
love personal experiences. The
tales may be tales Of fighting on
sea or on land; of submarines; OF
spies.
The closer a writer comes to in
Guiding all three elements of in

hits the readers taste.

The War Thrift Stamps

Heretofore little opportunity has
been offered for the methodical saw
ing of small sums of money by people
of small means. The banks have not
encouraged it as a rule, because IT
means a great deal of bookkeeping
Now that war thrift stamps and cards
have been introduced. every one can
save, even the smallest sums. The
various postoillces throughout the
country are now supplied with these,
and one can invest. A card is pro-
vided, with space for sixteen stamps.
Each stamp sells for twenty-five cents,
so that when the card is full, it rep
resents a value of s4.00. Then for a
few cents more the thrift stamps can
be exchanged for a war savings
stamp.
The thrift stamps bear no interest,
but they are as good as gold, and
offer an excellent opportunity to save,
and at the same time to help the
country just at time when 1t needs
our help. Even child can buy a
twenty-five cent thrift stamp. and
children older grown need show no
hesitancy in investing small sums.
Buy some thrift stamps. Save
money,

| cannot resist just one short story
illustrating the above. Before the
war, our Government built wireless
plant in the Philippines. The lowest
bid was received from a German firm
of wireless experts. They disuaded
the government officials from their
choice of location, and obtaining a
change in both location and character
of the plant foundation. The Provi
dence Journal has unearthed the
papers which show that even then it
was the German Government that was
directing this firm of contractors,
guaranteeing to pay them the differ
ence between the cost and their bid
so that they might underbid all others,
with the result that our American
wireless station in the Philippines
was located where the German Gov
srnment desired it and built in a man
ner entirely suitable to them for their
use when Pan-Germanism prevailed
and the Philippines were under their
flag"
