HARMONY?
Lloyd George Too Blunt or

See Need for Allies Getting To-

Washington, Feb. 14.-That closer
harmony must be attained between the
United States and Great Britain in the
matter of political offensives against
the central empires is the growing
view of experts here today.
For the second time President Will

WORD OF WISDOM.
By Woodrow Wilson.

In his speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the President said:
 "It is hard for me to believe, under most circumstances, when a man has to choose between two ways, that he does not know which is the wrong way Popularity is not always successful patriotism. The most patriotic man is some times the man who goes in the di- rection in which he thinks is right, whether or not he thinks anybody agrees with him. because it is pa trictic to sacrifice yourself if you think you ere right. Do not blame anybody else if they do not agree with you. That is not tho point. Do not die with bitterness in your 'heart because you do not convince anybody. But die happy, because you tried to serve your country without selling your soul".

ON WRITING.

It is of the greatest value that the workers should learn how to express themselves in written or printed WurGs.
 The first big thing necessary to this end is to have something to say. Without that it is impossible to say or write anything, no matter how well educated you might be.
 Writing is a business, an art, a trade, profession-what you make it! of individual thinking to express individual thought. It is folly to suppose that writing can be learned by mastering a certain number of fixed printed lessons. Study of a book. or correspond cncc course, is helpful-but it does not teach you how to write. The way to learn to write is to think think, think, until you know what you want to write about, and you are inspired to think that it will be worth writing about, then to strug- gle with words, and phrases, and sentences until you have put your thinking on paper.
 What can be done to help you to learn to write is simple, as it is described. but tremendously diff cult to carry out in actual practice. Competent critics, and teachers can help you to learn to think as your self, can encourage you to seek eX- pression for your individuality, can help you to formulate your ideas, to judge of their value, and to de- velop them into stories, or essays, or poems, can give you honest opi- nions of your work, and inspiring suggestions, can watch your work carefully, as you develop style, in short, can help you, in your actual writing, from the moment you con ceiye an idea for a story or essay, or poem, until you have the work in it's completed form. And a com potent tcachcr-critic can help you to sell the work. he has helped you 10 write.

In this way he ran on long time; and at last he came to a stop The good man, who had been list ening to him with great patience and kindness, said, Well, and when the course of study is com pleted, what then?"

 And then?" pursued the young lawyer, then I shall live comfort ably and honorably in wealth and dignity, and shall be able to lock forward quietly tc a happy cid age"
 And then?" asked the good man.
 And then?" said the youth. and then-and then-I shall die"
 Here the good man again lifted up his voice, and again said. And then?" Whereupor the young man made no answer, but cast 1o VII his head and went away This last And then?" had piercel like a flash of lighting into his soul, and he could not get rid Of it. He soon ceased to aspire after rank and wealth, and was concerned through the remainder of his life above all other things to fulilt the object of his creation and promote the cause of God.

The following story is related of very good and pious man.
