The Huns War Metal.

To what an extent the restoration of
AIsace-Lorraine to its rightfuI owner will re-
duce GeTmany's war-making power is indi-
Gated in the fact that twenty-one million tons
OF iron ore are mined annually in those prov
inces. From that very ore were forged the
weapons with which the Hun sought to con-
quer France and freedom. "OnIy between
the Neuse and the Rhine writes a current
Historian, ARE coal and iron found so close
ztDgether as to be worked advantageously. In
1895 France had all these deposits; in 1915
she lost half the coal; in 1871, nearly all
her coal and half her iron; in 1914 Germany
struck for the other half of the IRON
Had the adventure succeeded, we should
now be facing future dark with the holdings
OF indeterminate war; for it cannot be doubt
ed that Germany would have pressed her am
Bition fer world tyranny relentlessly forward
IL the means had been left at her command
But without AI-ace-LOrraine, she lacks 1T
once the essential resources and the strategic
vantage ground for another raid. Thus while
France receives her own again, the world re-
Fceives a guarantee of security and peace.

COMMUNION

You ghosts of those who fell
With hearts still fush'd with the first
ecstasies,
Why do you leave your lofty citadel?
Ever your wistful, unapparent eyes
Peer thro each darken'd doorway, and your
hands,
Vibrant, intangible.
Hover, and strive to touch US in the street;
Ever the soundless feet
Follow, and leave no trace upon the sands
Tho no dim voices speak,
Foird by your blood and ours, Death cannot
seal
The spirits ears; we know you yainly seek
The faith unfaltring and the primal zeal.
Breathe from your FURNISHED lips upon our
clay;
Again that dawn shall break
When Honor handed Is her flame-white
sword,
And we, with one accord.
Sped to the hills to greet the reiuigent day.

Plants for the Dye Industry.

- A simple plan FOR utilizing the many Tiants
recently engaged in the production of high
explosives, suggests Milwaukee correspond
ent of the Manufacturers Record, IS to turn
them to making dyes. The needful readjust-
ments could be expected easily, and the new
undertakings would have i generous prospect

=. There was never doubt that America had
-the material resources and the scientific skill
required FOR making the vast quantities of
dyes which prior to the war she procured
almost entirely from Germany. But as long as
imports were uninterrupted capital was not
disposed to venture upon an industry which re-
quired large OUTLAWS to start with, which would

BE INTENSE WISELY

BY H. Arlington Bruce
r~HUS writes Gamaliel Bradford of the
poet Dome:
u THE word which stamps itself on
every line of his works, on every trait OF his
nature, is intensity, that restless, hungry en-
ergy of mind which will not let a man shut
his eyes while there is a corner Of thought
unprobed, Enlightened.
''VigOr of intellect, feryOr of emotion
these are what give Donne his high position
&c a man and as a poet"
/ ask you to ponder this description OF
intensity. 1 urge you to apply it as Il stand
ard for the measurement of yourself.
Are you intense after the fashion OF John
Dome?
Is it your happy fortune to be blessed with
Ia restless, hungry energy of mind which keeps
you striving ceaselessly TO grow in knowl-
edge?
Is your emotional life keen and strong?
DO you make 1t rule to employ your in
telect vigorously on worthwhile matters?
There is such thing, permit me to remind
you, as spurious intensity-or perhaps l
had better say a misdirected intensity. Many
people possess intensity of this inferior sort.
All day long they are on edge about triv-
ialities.
So soon as they awaken they rush to see
what the weather is like. Sunshine lifts
them to the heights of joy, clouds plunge
them to the depths of despair.
They abound in superlatives of praise or
condemnation regarding such small affair
as the way their breakfast is cooked or served.
They open their morning mail with feverish
eagerness. When they start for the street
car they can not walk leisurely, as other peo-
pie do, but must almost run.
At their work they unanimously hustle to
get things done But they arS perfectly VII
ling, at moments notice, to divert their en-
ergy to things of no vital significance to
themselves Oh anybody else.
They will waste endless time discussing
heatedly the latest sensational crime. They
will post-mortem indefinitely as to the golf
games they won lost, the bridge hands
they bungled or achieved. They rave over
secOnd-rate novels; they insistently implore
their friends to see secOnd-rate plays.
Every waking moment they are "enthus-
ing" about something or other. Day after
day thus passes for them, and day after day
they get nowhere in particular.
Yet these same people-who weary their
friends nutterably-might readily become
leaders in their communities, looked up to
and respected by all, if only they would learn
to be intensely wisely.
They have in them the stuff for high ac-
complishment. They have exceptional ca
pacity for feeling, plus capacity for thinking
Their great defect is that they dc not view
life in proper perspective. If they did, they
would be less intense about non-essentials
and more intense about essentials

OF all the NORWOOD now poured into the
cup of the Kaiser's deservings, there is moth
ing bitterer perhaps than the enforced sur
render of the Hun navy. 1t was William
Hohenzollern's particular ambition to make
his empire supreme on the seas. Other Ger
man rulers, it is true, had harbored such
dreams long before his time. AS far back
as the md-Nineteenth century, the New York
Herald interestingly recalls, Prince Hohen-
lobe wrote in his memoirs: when we study
the map and see how the Baltic, the North
Sea and the Mediterranean break upon our
shores and how no German Gag commands the
customary salute from the naughty French,
surely the hue of shame alone will survive
from the red, black and yellow, and mount
in our cheeks 1t remained for the now abdi-
Gated Kaiser, however, to essay the creation
OF a German sea armament with the same
burning intensity and the same evil design
which marked the building up of PrUssian-
ism's vast forces ashore.
Purposing a feet that would overshadow
the greatest then existing, he succeeded by
1914 in surprising all but Great Britain 5;
at the outbreak of the war the German navy
stood second in the world. But all his five
and thirty battieships, his swift and powerful
battle cruisers, his hundreds of lighter craft
and his swarm Of pirate U-Boats avaled him
nothing. Save for short and intellectual
dashes on the part of cruiser or a squadron

first to last in craven impotence. The U-boats,
for all their ruthless inhumanty, proved to
be of no substantial value to the German
military cause; rather, they served to unity
and TO embattle the worlds moral forces that
predestned Prusslanism's defeat
And now the fugitive Hohenzollern sees
the navy with which he hoped to rule the
waves, disgraced. dismantled and surrendered

Helgolaad.

Whatever may be the final disposition of
Helgoland, 1t is safe to assume that it will
never again serve as bulwark or fastness to
German piracy. This dwarfish island, with
an area of only about fifth of q square mile
and population of less than three thousand,
belonged up to 1890 to England. In that
year, as writer in the New York Herald re-
calls, Lord Salisbury, then Prime Minister,
was cautiously approached by the Kaiser s
ambassador at London. with true Prussian
craft the latter pointed out that she gray
rock in the North Sea was useless to Great
Britain, and that his master desired it only
for sentimental reasons. After all, His Ex-
cellency suggested, what was IL more than a
small German summer resort under foreign
flag. The Premier saw light through Prussian
eyes, announced his decision TO Parliament,
and there was no discussion on the subject"
Germany coded Britain certain territories IN
Africa and received in return 1.-THE gray rock
OF Helgoland. A prosaic transaction, il then
seemed, but when the German Government,
with pompous parade of all its available war
craft, inauguraetd the work Of fortifying the
island, cautious Englishmen began to wonder.
Those Notifications were an essential part OF
the program which Prussianism was then
working out for its carefully plotted war OF
1914, and they proved to be one OF its most
effective pieces OF forethought. Now under
Allied control, they will not be trusted again
in the hands of German militarists.

night there were 5000 hogs in the
pens and more carloads on the way.
The Triton plant has turned down at
least 100 carsloads OF hogs since it
opened, due to the fact that it was UNI
able to handle the hogs.
Although there are packing plants at
Triton, Moutrie, Statesboro Waycross
Jacksonville and Savannah train loads
are being shipped North nd East, the
plants being unable to take care of all
he hogs.
The surplus is probably due to the
