FAITH
We know not who is god of hates and wars.
Whether he be Jehovah, Allah. Mars.
But in the warp-and-woohng of the plan,
We hold our fundamental faith in Man.
Man is a demon, delvng in the night
Man is seraph singing toward the light
Both are in each of us and both in all
And summoned by the habit Of our call
The world is fouled by violence and death,
By sword and FIRE. by wrath and poisoned breath,
But still the constant, even tho distant, view
The Rights of All against the Rights Of Few
No lesser cause could justify the sword.
Or authorize our host against their horde:
So Man shall conquer Man and in the fight
Man wrests from Man for all men Greater Right

the upper deck of the vessel pitched into the sea and landed on the upper deck of the submarine, sinking her instantly. The ships boats were all ready so crowded that it was humanly impossible to take another soul into them, and, as it was, their crews spent four days in them with very scanty provisions before reaching land. So much for British "frightfulness."
 Other submarines hid themselves among the ice-floes further north, and many were the exciting games of hide and-seek played in those still waters, with only the seal and grampus for witnesses. Fogs, both in summer and winter, are very terrible thing in these Arctic waters. The cold wind blowing on the warmer water raises an impenetrable mist, and probably causes as many losses as the enemy's Lest divided efforts. And the sun. which does not set for months in the summer, and the moon, which behaves while at the full in the same way each winter month, give an unfair advan- tage to underwater craft. With con. ming tower awash, and approaching at surface speed of 16 knots they are very difficult to detect in all but the calmest weather.

IS DEMOCRACY
 A FAILURE

The American people have achieved victory for democracy. They have proved that they can govern them selves.
 Through all sorts of agencies the United States Food Administration has endeavored to bring home to the nation the vital necessity for sending wheat, meat fats, and sugar over there What has been the response?
 Perhaps wheat has been our big gest problem. We have realized how very important it is to give the Allies wheat To them, the staff of life, " the daily bread" of their prayers, is the wheat loaf
 What were the conditions on this side of the Atlantic? The wheat crop of 1917 was larger than the 1916 crop, but it was over one hundred fifty-five million bushels less than the average production for the years 1911 to 1915. If we had eaten as much as we usually do, we would have had only twenty million bushels to send over there.
 We realized then, and we are still realizing, that we must not eat as

school district is powerless to accept and utilize gifts from other sources, of money to be nsed in the maintenance of established schools.
 If such a gift is made to the School
 board. who but the Treasurer of the School Board is the legal custodian thereof?
 The legislature of the Territory pro- vided for just such gift by the en- actment of said chapter 2S, Session Laws 1917. The money therein pro- vided for cannot be said to have been given to the "city and not the school district"
 The language of section one of said act is shall be refunded to the School Fund of said incorporated town or incorporated school district" By sec tion of said act it is provided that the warrant is to be made payable to- the Treasurer of the School Board submitting said expense account" and that the said warrant is ito be deposit ed in the School Fund of the incorpor- ated town, city or incorporated school district" Thus it would seem that the injunction is ito deposit" in either one of two specific places.
 The petition says that the warrants s,~ dro,x yroui1 aA by law by the Secretary of the Ter ritory, and that they were delivered to the person in whose favor they were drawn, to-wit, William G. Strong, Treasurer of the Ketchikan School District, and that they have been de- posted by him in the bank to his
 credit as such Treasurer. The said funds are in the School Fund of the incorporated school district" At any rate, the school district is making no complaint.
 It is not apparent that facts are all legged at all sufficient to warrant the issuance of the extraordinary writ of mandamus, which is only justified 1 when it is needed ito control the per i formance of an act which the law specially enjoins as duty resulting
 from an office, trust or station" (Sec. 1885, C. l.. A. 1913)
 1 The attention of the Court has not
 been directed to any law which spec ! ially enjoins the treasurer of an incor-
 porated school district to deposit in
 the treasury of the city funds which l have accrued to the school district 1 for maintenance of the schools-On
 the contrary, those are the very funds of which the said Treasurer of the school district is made the custodian
