the authorities In England decided Major
Bishop had ''won the right to live" and
detailed him to work in the aviation fly
ing fields.
In his story, which narrates many
thrilling battles in the air, the flying man
sets down the fights that won him all
these honors In so simple style as to
make them seem not great deeds greatly
done but very ordinary events in the life
of a military airman. And when he was
presented with his medals by King
George he was most concerned with the
fact that his boots squeaked when he
walked across the audience hall and that
he couldn't even say "Yes, sir" in reply
to the Kings remarks.

the revolving character of the German
when he is hard pressed in defeat and
the innate gallantrv of the British sea-
man under the same circumstances.
No one can read Mr.. Cornfords pages
without realizing that as the war has
progressed and the German submarine
has become a less powerful weapon
against the navies and merchant fleets
OF the Allies the attitude of German
commanders of these undersca boats has
changed materially.
In the beginning of their submarine
campaign they gave boats crews Il living

more of the U-boats were put down"
the baser elements IN the German nature
rose superior, mostly, we think, through
craven fear: the blacklist aspects of the
German nature being revealed in the treat
ment of the crew of the Belgian Prince,
who were made to stand on the deck of a
U-boat, stripped of their liiebelts, and
then had the craft sink under them, leav-

Germany as 1t Is To-day"

@NE thing that the war has accom-
~ plished has been complete rcvo-
luton in peoples attitude toward sta
tistics. Those who would have shuddered
few years ago at the thought of such a
book as Germany as 1t Is To-day will
find it vastly worth reading just now
because of the very fact that it contains
little else. Cyril Brown, correspondent
at the front for the New York World,
has collected enough statistics concerning
conditions prevailing at the present time
throughout the German Empire 10 give
a very good idea of what is going on in
the minds of the people ii signs mean
anything.
In the first place he gives us the cheer
ing news that there is Il shortage OF every
thing except shortages, the one with
which we are most familiar, though not
the most important, being the food short
age. 1t is natural that the people should
regard this as the most important, how
ever. as it has reached a point where
food has become increasingly the almost
all absorbing subject of thought and con-
vcrsatior until food tall, to-day amounts
almost 10 national ObsessIon. And
food, too, is the lett motif Of most private
letter writing, the chief features OF let
tiers beng such as that one has eaten a
glorious hare with real cream sauce, &c
The coal and transportation shortages
are nevertheless more dangerous at the
present moment and the falling birth rate
and increasing death rate farther reach
ing than the most dangerous shortage.
II is Interesting To note that crIminahty

sure and that the crime wave has risen
more sharply since Americas entrance
into the war The extent TO which prepa
ratlOnS for peace are carried on IN
country whose every effort we think Of
as being given TO continuation of war
Mr.. Brown lays special emphasis upon.
The nearest approach TO a definite
statement of his opinion of what Ger
manys condition portends is found IN his
opening paragraph, which we quote be-
low:
Changing Germany is, in 1918, pass
ing through an unacceptable evolution in
which the sharply rising power curve has
seemingly reached an iron limit and now

level line of indeterminate length toward
the downward turning point; the pinnacle
of powcr-the threshold OF the decline
Ard after all tFs isn't very optimistic.
It would seem that Mr.. Brown might
have riskcd little more in the way of a
phrophccy.

"The Soul of the Soldier"
THOMAS TIPLADY, author of The

HoMAo LIZ hADl, autuoT VI IHe
l. Cross at the Front and of a new
volume, The Soul Of the Soldier is an
English army chaplain who has seen
wars horror and grewsomeness and devas-
tation, yet brings out Of it all hope
and a JOY, 4 pride in the glory Of God
and of man. To read his book is inspir-
ing, for he makes us realize the spirit
that actuates our men who are fighting
for truth. and right. He sounds no note
of gloom, nc wall Of diseouragement, but
ever a trumpet call to fresh endeavor,
a clear note Of hope and Of faith.
Tiplady shows us the spiritual side Of
the fighting armies As padre TO the
soldiers he has had chance TO know the
men as they are and he reverences them
He saws Life at the front is brutal and
terrifying, and yet our soldiers are neither
brutalized nor terrified, for there is some
thing great and noble at the front which
keeps life pure and sweet and the men
gentle and chivalrous."
The book is extremely interesting as
revealing the life of Englishmen in war
as seen by one other than a fighter. The
descriptions are vivid and the human
feeling in the narrative Is tender and
strong. One who has read the volume
will remember many poignant incidents
that the author relates, such as the story
of the swan that had seemed a sacred and
mystical being rs it swan peacefully III
the mOat during the roar and tumult Of
long fighting but that was killed at last
by the bursting of shell, to the grief OF
TIE soldiers who had loved and tended it.
He describes the singing of a lark in the
hush OF moments pause in the mad
firing and of what il meant 10 those who
heard it. He tells OF services in half
ruined churches. as in the little chapel on
the Arras front. where he had 10 start the
singing without music, for the organ had
been DESTROYED by a shell, and Of the
volunteer collection by the soldiers 10 re-
pair the chapel when peace might come.
Mr.. Tiplady tells entertainingly of the
roadmaking that the Tommies engage in
and of what roadmaking means. He
discusses Interestingly the Influence OF
singing on the army and analyzes the
types of songs the soldiers love to sing.
He SAYS that the men at the front never
sing national hymns, save on formal oc
casions, for they have no need to express
their patriotism in that way. They pre-
fer 10 sing songs of lighter character,
such as will relieve their minds of tha
strain of suspense and responsibility.
They sing nonsense songs. expressive
of humorous philosophy; love songs.
either comic or seriously sentimental;
scngS of home; songs of comradeshIp, and
hymns that bring associations not only
of home ties but Of spiritual help as well.
\ few hymns the soldiers particularly
love to sing arc Rock of Ages, Jesus.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
TALKING POINTS ON POTATOES

The human engine is a marvellous and complicated piece of mechanism Au- like an engine made of iron and steel it must be kept supplied wi,h lubricants Us well as propelIinS fuel. The so-called root vegetables do not supply to the body the en- grgy- furnishing properties of meats or fats. but they do supply what is of equal value, certain alkaline pro berries to counterad the acid ei- fe,t oi meat, eggs and cereals.
 Among the vegetables known as roots and tubers are potatoes both sweet and Irish, onions, ruta- baeas, turaips, heets, parsnips, eel eriac, artichokeS, etc. None of these contain protein to any appreciable amount but they Go contain car6o- hydrates which translated means starch anI sugar. aud mineral mat ter.
 rLe potato Is known primarily as starchy food. And since starch is easily and thoroughly digested by the average individual, and since the edible portion of pota- to represents lS.4 percent of car b.yhydratss. most of which is starch. ;he potato is safe and sane as a part of our daily diet
 Bssi.es. it is plentiful and not hi-n in price compared with other foods. With an estimated excess of oJ.upo.vU0 bushels for this years yielC potatoes should be cheaper than they have been. And it be rymel the patriotic duty of all good Americans to eat prodigally of them in order to save other things Err nesGs across the seas.
