be an unmixed blessing. We do not any of us let ourselves be duped. but there are very few who escape being duped; and no one has way of ac- curately knowing who or where or how or by whom he is always duped. As an intellectual declaration this is bold and in degree senseIess. for man is not endowed with any such power, although Deity may be.

NOT A ONE MAN SYSTEM.

The Bulletin doesn't see how Mir. Hoover can keep hooverizing out of the dictionary if he doesn't enjoy. per senal fame.
 Mir. Hoover does not regard himself as an autocrat, or like to be so regarded, but is conscious that he is only servant of the people and desires to have the food administra- tion thought of as an institution and not as the projection of the personality of one n1ar-an institution with a soul. moved by spirit of self-denial and patriotic fefvor.
 Mir. Thomas H. Dickinson in the current North American Review, speaks of the work of MT. Hoover and his associates "as a new brand of patriotism as unusual as it was ser viceable.' We have seen.' says MT. Dickinson, me-tlallowed systems thrown into the waste basket; we have observed the cheerful scrapping vented them; and institutions built up with the enthusiasm -or profit have been turhed over to the government with the enthusiasm Of service. In a time in which the majot gifts to civi- lization are being multiplied by mil lions, in the cheering offerings of fresh young lives. one hesitates to mention the services of men of trade And yet these men are giving what they have. and the manner in which they have made the gift has done honor to them and to their country" Mir. Hoover recognizes that without the generous response and cooperation of the people there could be no gov ernment food administration and yer flies his statement that it is not Hoo- yer, but 'an institution with a soul

 The pantry and the clothes closet are playing major part in the war. The pantry of tie Central Empire has been short O full rations for at least three years: and the whole popula- ,4on has been physically weakened and the death rate greatly increased Jecause Of malnUtrition, and there is dn open confession that the supply of luel and clothes is not a guaranty of comfort the coming winter.
 The pantry of the Entente has been made dependable by the self-denial f inc American people, ard the U-boat s less and less a menace to our ex- port trade
 The prospect of winning the war by arms is not as promising as the pros pect Of overcoming the foe by assaults from the air, when the Entente may lave 100000 flying machines to assail Germany from the air at every i'm portan. center.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

All Of us are bragging q little over the fact that, when the last official statement was made. we had a little more than eleven hundred thousand men in uniforms overseas. We have a right to be proud of it because it is the greatest military achievement which the world has ever witnessed but what ought to make us feel fair ly happy is that, though male help is scarce, things are going on much as ever because there are a good many people in the United States in normal times. What we have sent to France or elsewhere on the other side of the water just about equals is one of the smaller of the Connecticut had gone over. men, women, children and pacifsts, the rest of the country would get along after 8 fashion and sor are going on much as usual. Look at the auto
 mobiles of a pleasant Sunday; see the Saturday night crowd in any city in the state and then say whether or not you detect any sprtage m humanity or if you have any doubts as to the outcome of the war. It is fairly good sized coun- try which Germany has undertaken to whip.
 Do you realize how many tons of shipping it takes to ship a single sol
 dier?" pr, Arthur Davis, formerly dentist to Kaiser Wilhelm, records as question once put him by his inn perial patient. Well, it takes six tons to a man! To send over an army of
 5000 900 men, therefore, your country Wonld require 3,e0O,0o0 tons of shipping in addition to tonnage required for reg ular traffic. Where is it coming from, with my submarines sinking the allied vessels faster than they can ever be replaced? My U-boets are doing won

THE POWER OF MAN.

The power of man rests wholly in his trust and faith in goodness.
 The first thing tyrart must do is to make his people believe they are doing right and that God is on their side. to attain his evil designs.
 The power of good was never more tersely expressed than by Bulwer when he said. "A good man does good merely by living"
 Power grows out of deep thought, a spreading influence and firm action.
 The man Of force is not always a good man; hut he often clothes him. self in the mantle of Heaven to serve the devil in.
 No man ct evil design can ever yield the influence of a good man, whose nod or word has more weight than an oration.
 We cannot describe God. who we recognize as supreme goodness, but if we give Him the same place n our hearts, he holds in the universe" |" we shall have no reason to doubt that He will triumph. or that the world is destined to enjoy the peace which cannot be denied to the peaceful.

SELF RELIANCE

The Entente nations are not only taking lessons in self denial, but also in self-reliance.
 The whole world has discovered how dependent # was upon Germany for many things, and has been amazed at .ts dependence when it might as well have been self sustaining. O.
 The London Chronicle alluding to endorsements of the past says:
 'The case of tungsten is of type which will not readily be allowed to recur. Nearly half the raw material from which tungsten was extracted before the war came from the British Empire, yet it was practically all shipped to Germany. and only there reduced to the tungsten powder, which was re-exported for use in this coun- try. kindred problem in some re- spects is that of the essential articles dyes and knitting needles for in stance-which we could have made ir this country before the war but fol winch we had in fact allowed ourselves to become almost entirely dependent on foreign and enemy sources of sup. ply. The vars experience will un. 6oubtedly lead us after the war in the direction of making the British Elm. pire a more self-eontained unit"
 All the Entente nations are looking forward to the day when they may produce most of the things they need and be independent wherever inde pendence is possible.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Nine Days On a Raft,

This is the story, heard from his own lips, in the naval hospital at liar Wich, of Haakon Ohlson, the sole sur vivor of the crew of the Norwegian barque Eglinton, which was destroyed by a German submarine in the Heli- goland Eight about a fortnight ago. The little ships company of nine men. four of them badly wounded, were left by the submarine adrift in the open sea on a small raft. One by one they died of wounds or exposure, and when after nine days, the raft was found by a British patrol boat, Ohl- son alone was left.
 None but a man strong above the average in body and will could have undergone so dreadful an ordeal and | lived. Ohlson, as 1 saw him this week in the naval hospital here, was but the shadow of such a man. His hol- | low cheeks, his sunken tired eyes, his | toneless voice, all bore witness to the i terrible strain through which he had passed. Hardened though he had been | by more than 20 years of a seafarer' s ife-he is 36, he told me, and has l lived on the sea since he was 14- 1 the nine weary days and nights which the castaway spent at the mercy of 1 wind and wave had left him a haggard and wasted man.
 | As nearly as possible, l give his I story as he told it to me. If there are gaps in it, the reader must reflect that when men have been face to face with despair and death their memor- l ies are apt to be blurred
 We left, he said, about June IS, with a cargo of coal for Norway. The 1 Eglinton is only a small sailing veSse
 of about TOO tons, and she carried, ir addition to the Norwegian skipper 1 (Captain Ring), crew of seven other Ncrwegians, and one Finn. All went we'll for two days. We were not over anxious about the submarine danger for the skipper had crossed the North
 Sea many times without trouble.
 On the morning of the third day .
 German submarine appeared in our
 wake and began to overhaul us. We flew no flag, but our name was plain fly shown on our bow and stern. Int
 submarine was not submerged. |
 came quite near to us-we were mak-
 ing only about six or seven knots and without any warning or sigma
 of any sort it opened fire on. us
 Shells. wrecked our sails and rigging
 We tried to launch a. lifeboat, but .
 shell snapped both davits and the boa
 hung useless over the side. There wa
 another Iifeboat on the top of tn,
 deck house. We tried to get that out
 but when the men on the subnarin'
 saw us on the house they turned ther
 gun on us there and we had to aban
 don the attempt. Four of us wer' wounded by their fire. The steward l arms and one of his legs were blowI
 off. The captains arm was shattered
 from the wrist to the shoulder.
 For 20 minutes the submarine con
 tinued to shell the ship, putting, S
 far as can tell, about 35 shots int
 her. She began to settle down, and a
 we could not use the boats we decided
 to abandon her for raft W ; launched it-just five blanks support

THE LITTLE LAVENDER BAG,

Some thoughtful soul has designed for the badly wounded and seriously sick patients in the Entente hospitals 2 little lavender bag or sachette to pin upon the pillow and bring to the suffering the refreshing fragrance of this garden herb.
 Sixteen thousand of these fragrant messengers of interest and thought fitness found their way to hospital pillows the first year.
 A chaplain at the front writes of these little gifts as follows 'T do wish that you could see how much the dainty little lavender bags mean to most of the wounded. I knew that some would appreciate them, but had no idea that they would appeal as they do to nearly all The wards are cutie fragrant. today, and last night at least one man passed away with his little bag tightly elasped in his hand. so much wish that you could see how much pleasure and comfort they give. Nearly every bad lv wounded and sick patient has q lavender bag pinned on his pillow this morning (they ask to have them pin red on) and most of those who are evacuated to base hospitals arc care tul to take their little bags with them."
 The English people hope to be able to place 3S600 of these glorified thoughts beside the invalided this year.
 Would not such a gift be almost like a benedlction to the disabled in any hospital
 Flowers are said to be Loves truest language" and they are find ing their place where they become pleasant reminders of God.
