A Pioneer Of the Sea.

The kings recent visit to Port GlGS
gov recalls Il fact in the history OF
ships and shipOuilding which has Il
particular interest Mt the present time.
AS everybody knows, observes the
Montreal Herald, it was from Port
Glasgow that the first steamer ever
built, the Comet, owner Henry Bell,
was launched in 1872. She was Il 80
ton vessel with an engine of three
horse power, and WAS found to be SO
successful that within the next two
years two larger craft were construct
ed. One of these was the Marjcry,
and from the Clyde the Marjery was
transferred to the Thames. and piled
between London and Gravcsend dur
ing the first months Of 1915. But she
was viewed with disfavor by the
Thames watermen. She was very
much of Il novelty, and they We're sus-
picious of novelties; besides. they con-
sidered that this Scotch-built boat in
terfered with their rights. So the
Marjery left the Thames for the
Seine; her owners having sold her to
Il French company. To reach the Seine
she had to cross the channel, and she
was thus the first steamer to do so.

Wild Foods, Seeds and Roots.

One Of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council Is the search for wild
plants which may be used us wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war DIR. John
Porcher, southcrner, published n
book giving list of plants OF the
South which could be substituted for
much-necded food and drug plants.
The American Botanist, Joliet, ILL.,.
proposes. with the aid Of Its readers,
TO compile similar list. Infornia-
ton is sought as to any plants not
ordinarily cultivated which have edible
fruits, seeds, roots, etc. 1t Is suS-
sested that valuable knowledge on this
subject might be obtained from hunt
ers, trappcrs, wOodsmcn, farmers. In
dians and the foreigners, who pick
up considerable food from the country
side. Similar Information is desired
concerning plants that can be used in
medicine.

with the greatest regret after having
participated in the trench life with
the soldiers for so long.
I have not been in Germany for
year, and from the beginning Of the
war I have taken only three Or four
fortnight leaves"
Speaking Of the beginning of the
war Frederick William asserted:
Contrary to all statements hith-
erto made abroad, never desired
war, and thought the moment quite
inopportune. T was never consulted,
and the report about a crown coun-
Gil being held in Berlin to decide on
the war I deny on my oath. I was
enjoying a stay at a watering place
when mobilization was ordered.
MY father also, I am sure, did not
desire war. If Germany had sought
the best opportunity for making war
she would have chosen the period
either Of. the Boer war or the Russo
japanese war.
From the beginning was certain
that England would enter the con-
f1ict. This view was not shared by
Prince Henry and the other members
Of my family.
People have credited me with war
like intentions But I was only SOL
der with desire to see the army
kept thoroughly efficient, and I
worked hard to bring this about.
People blame me with the failure at
Verdun. But I refused twice to at
tack there with the troops at my dis
posal. On the third occasion my at
tack was successful for the first three
days, but was not properly support
ed.
"I thought that the Verdun attack
was mistake. We should have at
tackled to the eastward Of verdun,
where there would have been great
probability Of success
The ex-Crown Prince was rather
bitter regarding the work of the gen
eral staff which he asserted was re-
sponsible for numerous mistakes, in
Guiding the attack in March, 1918,
which he was ordered to make, con-
trary to his own view. and was COM
PEELED to obey. He declared that Lu-
dendorff was the handspring Of Ger
many's war-lise activities While EoI
Hindenburg was mere figure-head.
Ludendorff and his staff continual
| ly under estimated the enemy's forces
he declared. and never believed that
Americas contribution Of soldiers wa
as great as it actuaiiE proved TO %"
Frederick William declared i:i:nsaii
to be an admirer Of President ~iisoI
who he felt assured would bring
about peace of justice for the Ger
man people, and concluded:
ANY humiliation Of a nation con
tanning 100000 people would only
leave a feeling of revenge. Such z
nation cannot he crushed"

the battle Of the Marne, which we
should not have lost If the chiefs OF

up Alsace-Lorraine. But I was told
